How many silver star winners were in the battle of the bulge?
No. Neither is there any overall list of all who were awarded the Medal. Division commanders had the authority to award the Silver Star; higher awards had to be approved by higher authority. Many divisions and some regiments published unit histories immediately after the war, and these often include lists of unit members who were decorated. There were a lot of smaller "independent" battalions of various types which were not a part of any larger formation, and these, being so small, usually did not publish a history. Many times these independent battalions were attached, more or less permanently, to a particular division, and MIGHT be included in that division's history, if it published one. All the tank battalions (numbered in the 700s), all the tank destroyer battalions, all the anti-aircraft artillery were independent battalions. There were three or four independent battalions of combat engineers who turned in heroic performances during the Bulge.

Do tank destroyer battalions have the same organization and vehicles as tank battalions?
No. Tank destroyer battalions had three companies, A, B and C, and each had 12 guns. These were self-propelled guns at first, then in 1943 about half the tank destroyer battalions converted to towed guns, which proved to be immobile. So most converted back to self-propelled guns after that. The original self-propelled guns included one model mounted on half-tracks. Eventually several purpose-built self-propelled guns were provided. These were tracked vehicles, with no armor, and a larger gun than those mounted on tanks. The tank destroyers proved to be death traps in their intended role of fighting enemy armor, but gave good service as self-propelled artillery. The army had sixteen armored divisions. Two of these were "heavy", the 2nd and 3rd, retaining an early Table of Organization, which included armored regiments. The other fourteen armored divisions had three tank battalions each, and, in addition, there were seventy-some "independent" tank battalions. These were organized with four companies. A, B and C had medium (Sherman) tanks and D had light (Stuart) tanks. See related link below for an excellent discussion of WWII US armor organization and vehicles, including the tank destroyers.
