German Defensive Tactics - Eastern Front
Time to take a look at how the Wehrmacht setup defensive positions, at first, we take a look at the a position of a company in defense from a manual published in 1940. In the second part, we take a look at an example from January 1942, when the Germans were defending themselves with heavily depleted units on the Ostfront (Eastern Front) against the Soviet attacks.
