What did German soldiers call US Marines for their fighting spirit?

You're referring to the name given to US Marines by German soldiers as a result of the fierce fighting during the Battle of Belleau Wood in 1918. It is told that the Germans began calling Marines "Teufelshunde" (pronounced toy-fels-hoon-duh), but often misspelled (and mispronounced) as Teufelhunden, Teufel Hunden, Tuefelhunde, or some variant. The correct "Teufelshunde" litterally translates to "Devil Dogs" referencing the hounds of hell in Bavarian legend. It should be noted that this battle was a, if not the, key turning point in the war. Look up Belleau Wood on the internet and see how close the Germans were to Paris. The battle was so significant that the French renamed Belleau Wood the Wood of the Marine Brigade after the war in honor of the Marines who fought and died there for France's freedom.
