All I know "outside of google searching" is general information. They where excellent infiltration troops and, historically, are the German "line-breaking" equiviliant to the Allied Tanks. Their tactics where to infiltrate a portion of the line and then surprise the allies by attacking it sideways, down the length of the line.

If my memory serves me correct (I'm not an expert on WW1) the Stormtroopers faced similar strategic problems as the Allied Tank assaults; namely that when they scored a victory, it was not followed-up upon quick enough as modern armies would 'exploit' such a breach.
