In the Battle of the Bulge, the four American divisions often considered weak were the 106th Infantry Division, the 28th Infantry Division, the 4th Infantry Division, and the 9th Armored Division. These divisions faced challenges such as lack of experience, insufficient training, and underestimation of German forces, leading to vulnerabilities in their positions.

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.
