You mean quiet sectors like Bastogne and the Ardennes during the battle of ‘the bulge’...
Sometimes great units were put in quiet sectors to recover... Only they end up being very hot.
Good article! Just picking at ya.
I forget the name of the division, but the whole outfit was killed, wounded, or captured before it was over. with the centuries of history, who ever decided the Ardennes would ever be a quiet sector?

My father made it through til then with 2 purple hearts for relatively minor wounds,,, in the Ardennes he was hit bad and left for dead for 2 days in the snow with just a hit of morphine... on the 3rd day they evacuated him on a c47 to England where he stayed for 3 months...
