From my links and the Excel spreadsheet I have done on the divisions, I computed the 84th casualties at 52% overall and 168% in their rifle platoons. They entered the ETO in November 1944 and fought through April 1945. VE day was early May. Those rates of loss place the division among the most heavily involved in the last six months of the war.
