Doc's moniker was off to the end of the ping list and unseen but I ought to have known you'd remember. My apologies for the blunder.
There was a tale that Hitler's great fear was that his Wehrmacht would have to face off with the Marines...and as Doc mentioned, the loss at Belleau Wood gave him reason to fear them....and name them.

My apologies for the blunder. Oh good gads no...not a blunder. It's kinda hard to remember sometimes so your heads up is very much appreciated!
So it was Hitler that named the Marines "Devil Dogs" or "Dogs from Hell"? That was the source of the moniker?
