List
of casualties : Company "L", 378th Infantry
Regiment
Information below came from copies of the official Morning
Reports filed by Company L.
Such reports, filed by all infantry companies were
written on 3
¼” x 7 ¼” (85 mm. X 181 mm.) forms showing the date,
organization, location, and number of officers and
enlisted men present and assigned, listing all transfers
of personnel in and out of the unit, including casualties.
Occasionally a brief comment about the unit’s
activities were included. Since the report was filed in
the morning
it reflected events that occurred the preceding day and
night. For example a soldier wounded between 0800 on
Monday and
0600 Tuesday would be reported on the Tuesday Morning
Report. In heavy combat sometimes several days passed
before all casualties were accounted for.
Paul R.Schlitz obtained this material from the
National Personnel Records Center (Military Personnel
Records), 9700 Page Boulevard, St. Louis, Missouri 63132
in 1988 for the preparation of a book.
Copies were made by a poor photographic process,
and by now some pages are barely readable. Non-combat
injuries are not included.

Total
Casualties : 146 of which 29 were KIA |
|
|
It is difficult to total those wounded since some
were wounded three times during the combat tour. The
above total 146 combat casualties, 116 wounded, 29,
killed and one missing.
The latter was killed by a sniper in Endsdorf,
and the body could not be recovered.
The listing does not include the few combat
fatigue cases.
In the above totals I have changed the status
of Sampson O’Dell from wounded to killed.
Although the Morning Report lists him as
wounded, Paul
R.Schlitz
verified his death in another record.
When Company L entered combat, it was at full
strength consisting of six officers and one
hundred-eighty-six enlisted men.
The attack on the Sauberg, near Unter Felsberg,
Germany, on 30 November 1944 was L Company’s
deadliest battle. It began at 1430 and ended at sundown, less than two hours
later.
