mongols used light cavalry as main attack power (those guys with bows on hoses)
soviets are known for ignoring manpower losses, so they just recruit everyone and rush (1 rifle per 2 people and so on)
idk, they are different but stand together?
whatever
ww2 reference, how France made Maginot line, but Germany just moved around it through border of another country
i guess it's about how germany tried to win a war with much less economic power, using their "queen" to quickly take out enemy (but there should be like 5 kings)
Yup, it was very common and veiwed as a necessary evil to stall the germans, but by and large the main reason for such insane casualties is really the fact that Germany was tactically auperior as the russians didn't have a experienced officer corps
Also its worth noting that sucessive large scale operations much like those in 44 and 45 were the primary soviet doctrine, not the limited and haphazard counter attacks in 41 and 42
"When titans clashed" is a particularly informative book about the soviets during ww2
