My guess is both. It didn't take nukes in WWII to level cities, a week or so of artillery, infantry and armoured attacks was often enough to do some serious damage. A good example of what can be done in just a few days (and without air attacks!) can be seen in the movie "A Bridge Too Far" where they show Arnhem. Another example is the town at the end of "Saving Private Ryan".

I started but the material is very vague. It's hard enough getting a handle on US units, and being a game focused on US soldiers, there's a lot more info for them! Most of the information details just the date (but not necessarily location) they entered combat and where they are four years later. What they did in the meantime is mainly ignored. AND a number of Divisions changed Corps and even Armies during the war with confuses the situation even more.
