coe Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 well even in 1944 August and October the germans had several counterattacks (I think somewhere in the south (Romania?) and even spring awakening had more than a 10 mile advance too given it was that late in the war. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 You are probably thinking of Hungary for 1944 as well. Those were relatively fluid battles from what I know, not attacks into settled frontlines. Anyway, they did manage a more serious penetration in the Ardennes at a later date. In October two German divisions attacked and achieved a good dent near Overloon against US and British forces, so I don't think there were many differences between the Red Army and the western allies in this respect. 10 miles is neither here nor there, considering the amount of forces the Germans concentrated for Spring Awakening. A similar concentration of armour did not exist in the west post-Ardennes, otherwise it would most certainly have made a 10 mile impression as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
