The nickname "bloody bucket" for the 28th infantry division was actually coined by German soldiers that faced them in combat. The insignia of the 28th Infantry division was a red keystone, symbolizing the fact that the 28th infantry division was a Pennsylvania National Guard unit, and Pennsylvania's nickname is the "Keystone State"

What infantry was called bloody bucket in World War 2?
I believe that was the 28th "Keystone" Infantry Division because their Shoulder Sleeve Insignia is a bright red keystone that resembles a bucket. I read that term somewhere recently and I believe that is what it referred to. The Pennsylvania Army National Guard's 28th Infantry Division does wear a red "keystone" patch on their shoulder. The patch became known as the "bloody bucket" after WWII, during which the Division suffered massive casualties during the fighting to liberate Europe, particularly in the Ardennes forest and during the Battle of the Bulge, in and around the Belgian town of Bastogne. My dad was a sgt at the Battle of the Bulge and told me that the Germans tagged the 28th with the name BLOODY BUCKET because of the damages and deaths that the 28th caused the German soldiers. He said that as they rounded up the surviving German soldiers, the Germans would refer to the Keystone as a bloody bucket.
