The Soviets' Plan to Overrun the Germans

The first wave of soviet tanks was to pin the german line down. So each successive wave would be able to hammer on them. Manoeuvre warfare ould be out of the question, because the sheer weight of their advance would pin them down and force them to fight. This led to tank duels that such a close range that their barrels could touch. When the first soviet charge was broken, it wasn't by some masterpiece of german tactics. It was by one of their own tank ditches. And this effectively finished and fixed the problem in something akin to say, world wars. I'm here to tell you to day about the tank corpse bridging.
