The Battle of Belleau Wood in World War I is filled with the stuff of Marine Corps legend. What nickname did the Germans allegedly give the Marines during this battle?
Answer Devil Dogs
The Germans supposedly called the Marines "Teufel Hunden," or Devil Dogs due to their ferocious fighting spirit. However, history shows this a legend. To be fair to the Marines, it is a really cool legend.
