There were no divisions from Michigan, they were regiments. A division is made from several brigades and a brigade is made from 4-5 regiments. A brigade had many differant states in it. Example is 24th Mich, 2nd Wisconsin, 6th Wisc., 7th Wisc., 19th Indiana made up the 1st brigade(Iron brigade) of the first division of the first corps.
I don't know how many of the first 20 armored division were organized in time to participate in World War 2, but I do not find any reference to the US 19th Armored Division. Also, checked a Department of Army manual used to establish credit for campaign ribbons and it does not list the 19th Armored Division. There was a 19th Armored Battalion of the 14th Armored Division, which saw service with the 7th ARMY in these campaigns: (1) Ardennes-Alsace, (2) Central Europe and (3)Rhineland. For details on the organization command above this division, see the following link. http://www.14tharmoreddivision.org/ Commands found at bottom of this page: http://www.14tharmoreddivision.org/ob14adeto.htm

On April 29, 1945, the U.S. Seventh Army’s 45th Infantry Division liberated Dachau, the first concentration camp established by Germany’s Nazi regime. A major Dachau subcamp was liberated the same day by the 42nd Rainbow Division. Elements of the 20th Armored participated on that same date.
"The Iron Brigade" was composed of the 2nd Wisconsin, 6th Wisconsin, 7th Wisconsin, 19th Indiana, and later the 24th Michigan. It was originally the Fourth Brigade, First Division, First Corp, Army of the Potomac, and served originally under Brigadier General John Gibbon. It later become the First Brigade, First Division, First Corp, Army of the Potomac, under the command of Solomon Meredith. It was originally called the "Black Hat Brigade" for its distinctive "Hardee" hats, provided at the personal expense of General Gibbon. At the battle of South Mountain, as it charged Colonel Alfred H. Colquitt's Georgia and Alabama brigade, commanding general George Brinton McClellan was told that the "Black Hat Brigade" was advancing. Listening to the roar of the musketry, and realizing that the Black Hats must have been advancing into a hailstorm of bullets, General McClellan is said to have remarked, "My God! Those men must be made of iron!" The story spread, and the brigade's name changed from the Black Hats to Iron.
