Ну, так, чтобы по 390, может, и не было, но вот такое бывало:
US casualties in the Battle of the Hedgerows were unexpectedly high,
about 40,000 men including about 7,200 killed and 30,000 wounded. A US
Army survey of several infantry divisions between June 6 and July 31, 1944
found that rifle companies on average suffered casualties of 60 percent of
their enlisted men and 68 percent of their officers. Bradley later remarked
that “we had estimated that the infantry would incur 70 percent of the losses
of combat forces. By August we had boosted that figure to 83 percent on
the basis of our experience in the Normandy hedgerows.” For example, in
15 days of fighting around St Lф, the 30th Division sustained 3,934 battle
casualties, a loss rate of 25 percent for the unit as a whole but 90 percent of
its rifle platoon strength.
