Has to be Von Manstein - best offensively minded general, even in retreat!

Hi, interesting read. I don't think having a German urban doctrine would be brilliant just because that is where they made their mistakes. Out in the open they were unbeatable until the turning points of Kirsk and Stalingrad.  German supremacy in the air didn't count for much as the Russians were so close to the Germans that you were more likely to bomb your own men. Furthermore the rubble that was created was a terrible hold up for the German tanks. In the city tanks strengths are mitigated, with a combination of rubble and the limited elevation of turrets making them easy targets for anti-tank rifles and schreks (if the Russians had captured them). The manouverability was completely squashed, if it wasn't for Hitler's intervention I am sure the German General staff would have much prefereed to siege Stalingrad just like they sieged Leningrad in the north.

Just my thoughts

Just in reply to some of the comments about historical accuracy i've read quite a few books on the eastern front and the initial low quality of conscripts isn't an exageration. It is more accurate having a command group than a comissar for each individual squad, there just simply weren't enough comissars for that to happen. Looking good guys.
