我是真的覺得大家可以多去看一下Glantz寫的二戰蘇聯相關著作,才不會覺得蘇聯陸軍在
整場二戰一直都素質很爛。上一篇提的八月風暴那一本,就有描述到蘇軍除了作戰層級有
強力的深入包抄,戰術層面上也編組了大量的聯兵單位進行多樣的任務。
板上以前很愛提的、比較有名的When Titans Clash這一本,裡面也提到蘇聯在各層級都
有很大的進步,包含後勤、作戰、戰術等等,每次作戰前都有先遣部隊進行滲透,接著再
由強大的火力進行突破與擴大,最後才是用人海和火海戰術殲滅被包圍的德軍。蘇軍是能
一口氣突破後衝前四百公里的強大戰爭機器,並不只是靠消耗戰來慢慢壓倒德軍。

Although the German achievement in recovering from defeat in Normandy and in
stopping the Allied advance was impressive, it would be mistaken, as some
earlier commentators did, to underrate Allied fighting quality. A comparison
of American and German performance indicates that the preference of the
former for firepower support from air and artillery did not preclude a
willingness to close with the Germans and a high level of effectiveness in
the resulting combat.

The campaigns of 1943 proved that new divisions with sound training and
competent leaders could perform as well as veteran divisions.

這世界上德棍很多,但是戰史學術界似乎不是那麼認為。當然不是說美軍素質能壓倒德軍
,但是歷經一兩年的調整之後,美軍已經能夠與德軍至少是平分秋色了。另外還可參考
Allied Fighting Effectiveness in North Africa and Italy, 1942-1945或是
Military Effectiveness: Volume 3 The Second World War這兩本書,也有討論到相關
的議題。
