Ashes said:As opposed to equipment, which tankers were the best trained, most adaptable in the field, most efficient, etc.
I supose it would be one of the following...

Ollie Garchy said:One more thing...forget about Spain or other typical excuses. German battle doctrine counted most. That is, while the Allies forced their soldiers to rehearse specific engagements ("battle drill"), the Germans stressed the need for decisive decisions at lower command levels. Hence Wittmann's decision.
I am not sure of Soviet training techniques. If however one extrapolates from the standard Soviet tactical doctrine of shock and the fact that tank crews used flags to communicate, the Soviet ability to react fluidly to battle conditions was probably quite limited.
