Soviet Bridgeheads

[Der Alte Fritz]

Does anyone have any info on the tactics used by the Red Army to defend its bridgeheads? I have some information but could do with more.

cheers

Der Alte Fritz,

I highly recommend you repair forthwith to www.redarmystudies.net and start looking at the article list. Am certain you'll find much there of interest. Here's the Index.

Hi John

All good stuff but I really wanted down on the ground tactical stuff. Usually I can get this from Red Army studies but am unable to download a complete document at the moment. No idea why, gets to 2 mb and freezes.

Anyway many thanks
