| Panzer Vorwärts! Aber mit Verstand! | Armor Forward! But with Intelligence! |
This is a translation of a German training circular issuedby the German Armored Force containing 30 basic lessons ofarmored combat on the platoon and company level derived from theWehrmacht’s experience against the Soviets. Written during the SecondWorld War by a German company commander, these lessons arefresh with recent combat experience. The original text hascartoon-like illustrations and civilian “parables” on one page, with thecombat lesson on the opposing page. Only the combat lessons aretranslated here.
AUTHOR’s PREFACE The Panzer Regiment is, by reason of its firepower,protection and mobility the main fighting power of theDivision. Its strength lies in unexpected, concentrated anddetermined attack; aggressive leadership and daringoperations. FORWARD Combat in Russia has shown once again that for us, inaction against the Communists, it is not so much the kind ornumber of our tanks but the spirit and skill on the tanksoldiers that count. Only by these factors are German tanksalways, even in Russia, victorious. This exemplary combat spirit can however count forlittle as the weapons speed, armor or number of tanks inachieving success, if they are not led and employed by fullycompetent officers. Superior tactical leadership in battle is a prerequisitewhen one desires few, or better still, no casualties. The purpose of this volume is to collect the experiencesof the veteran front-line combat leaders of our Regiments inaction, and pass it on in simple and understandable form toour junior officers. 1. Before any attack acquaint yourself with the ground. Usethe information provided by other units or by the map.Share this information with your subordinate commanders.Exact information and correct estimation of the terrainwill be the decisive difference between victory anddefeat. 2. No armored attack is so fast, even under the mostpressing situation, that you do not have time to putsubordinate leaders into the picture about the tacticalsituation, mission, and anything else which may impact onthe coming action. Losses due to over-hasty action areyour responsibility and place the success of the missionin jeopardy. 3. Only careful combat reconnaissance can protect you fromsurprise. 4. Your entire ability in combat must be used to make aconstant appreciation of the situation. Only in thismanner can you make the correct decision during thedecisive seconds and issue short, clear orders withoutdelay. This is the kind of leadership for which you areresponsible. 5. Iron radio discipline is a prerequisite of goodleadership, particularly when your only method of commandis radio. In the point company for instance, the trailplatoons should not use the radio at all except inemergency, leaving the net clear for the point platoonleader. 6. You must lead with strength. At least two tanks must beforward, and the trail platoons must be held far enoughforward to support the lead platoon. The more guns thatfire in the first minute, the quicker the enemy will bedefeated and the fewer losses you will suffer. 7. When breaking cover, do it quickly and together. 8. In the attack drive as fast as you can. At slow speedyou can see and shoot only a little better than at high,and are much more likely to be hit. For a tank thereshould be only two speeds: the half (for firing!) andall out forward. This is the basic principal of tankcombat! 9. When antitank weapons are encountered at long or mediumranges, you must first return fire and then maneuveragainst them. First make a firing halt in order to bringeffective fire to bear – then commit the bulk of thecompany to maneuver on the enemy with the continuedsupport of one platoon. 10. When antitank weapons are encountered at close range,stopping is suicide. Only immediate attack at thehighest speed with every weapon firing will have successand reduce losses. 11. In combat against the antitank guns you may never – evenunder the protection of strong fire support – allow asingle platoon to attack alone. 12. You must continually keep a broad interval betweenvehicles. This splits the enemy’s defensive fire andcomplicates his fire control. Narrow intervals must beavoided at all costs, especially in critical situations,or it will cost you losses. 13. When an impassable obstacle, for instance a minefield orantitank ditch, is encountered you must immediately andwithout hesitation give the order to withdraw into thenearest cover. Standing still, in open sight, trying tocarry on the attack, has in such circumstances no senseand will only cost you losses. Your consideration on howto make a new start will be best made in the safety ofcover. 14. When your attack must pass potential enemy tankpositions, for instance a woodline, you should eitherpass by them so closely that you are inside their minimumrange, or remain so far away that you are outside theirmaximum effective range. 15. Enemy tanks should not be attacked directly, because thenthey see you and know your strength before you can killthem. 16. A strongpoint, for instance a small village or artillerybattery position, whenever possible should be attackedfrom different directions simultaneously in order tosplit enemy defensive fire and deceive him about the truelocation and direction of the attack. In this manneryour breakthrough will be easier and your losses fewer. 17. Always prepare dug in positions and camouflage againstthe possibility of air or artillery attack. Being sorryafterwards is no excuse for losses taken by these causes. 18. Ammunition should not always be conserved; in thedecisive moment, if you want to save casualties, you mayexpend ammunition at exceptionally high rates (forinstance, an emergency attack.) 19. Never split your combat power; that is to say, do notemploy parts of the company in such a manner that theycannot support each other. 20. Support from artillery fire or dive bombers must be usedimmediately, that is to say, while the fire is stillhitting the objective. Afterward, when the fire hasstopped it is too late. You must know that mostly suchfires only produce a suppressing effect, not a destroyingone. It is better to risk a friendly shell or bomb thanto charge into an active antitank defense. 21. Other weapons and arms, cross-attached to you, should notbe misused. Do not use them for purposes for which theywere not intended, for example, do not use tankdestroyers as assault guns, or armored infantry as tanks,or recon or engineer troops as infantry. 22. Unarmored or lightly armored units attached to you mustbe protected from any unnecessary losses until they areneeded for their own operational tasks, for which reasonthey were attached to you. 23. Cross-attached units placed under your command are notyour servants, but your guests. You are answerable tosupply them and share everything they need. Don’t justuse them on guard duty! In this way they will workbetter and more loyally for you when you need them. Andthat will be often! 24. In combined operations with infantry or armored infantry,you must make certain that the arms stick close together;only so can they help each other and achieve success.Which of the two is leading is a secondary matter; whatmust be known is that it is the intention of the enemy toseparate them and that you must prevent this in allcircumstances. Your battlecry must be “Protect theInfantry!” and the infantry’s battlecry is “Protect theTanks!” 25. You and your soldiers must always concentrate on yourcombat mission, i.e. “the bridge,” and you may not turnaside, for example, to an enemy on your flank, unless heis actually dangerous to the accomplishment of yourmission. Then you must attack and destroy him. 26. After a victorious battle; i.e. the seizure of a bridgeor the occupation of a village, keep your helmets on.That is to say, prepare for a counterattack which willcertainly come, perhaps in a different place than youexpect. Later you can collect the spoils of victory. 27. In a defense or security mission place your tanks so thatnot only their firepower, but also their shock action canbe brought into play. Also, leave only a few tanks instationary firing positions. Keep most as mobilereserves under cover. Tanks defend aggressively! 28. Against strong enemy resistance, there is no point incontinuing to attack. Every failed attack only costsmore casualties. Your effort must always be to hold theenemy with only weak forces, in order to use mass of yourstrength at another, weaker place, breakthrough, anddestroy the enemy by surprise attack in the rear orflank. 29. Never forget that your soldiers do not belong to you, butto Germany. Personal glory hunting and senselessdare-deviltry lead only to exceptional cases to success,but always cost blood. 30. The panzer division in modern warfare today holds theformer place of cavalry as the decisive arm of combat.Tank officers must carry on in the tradition of thecavalry, take up its aggressive spirit on behalf of thePanzer arm. Therefore take note, as a basic combatprinciple, of Marshall Blucher’s motto, “FORWARD ANDTHROUGH!” (but with intelligence). |
Protect to your flanks as well as the front.Observation to all sides is the duty of every commander.ALWAYS KEEP YOUR EYE OUT FOR THE ENEMY!
Themore targets the enemy is shown simultaneously, theharder his fire control and distribution will be, and themore guns you will have in effect on the enemy.
Antitank weapons are notemployed singly. Remember – lone tanks in Russia arelost!
More often, you should avoid them until you canmove into favorable firing positions, and surprise themfrom the flank or rear. Repelled enemy tank assaultsmust be aggressively pursued.
When your attack has twoobjectives you should attack first one and then the otherwith all weapons. In this way you will more certainlyend up with both objectives in hand and fewer casualties.
In battle against the Soviet-Russians you must temper your courage with yourjudgement, your cunning, your instincts and your tacticalability. Only then will you have the prerequisites to bevictorious in battle and only then will your soldierslook on you with loyalty and respect and always stand byyou in untiring combat readiness.Tactical methods of using tanks — Military weapons and armies of the World
Tactics is a part of the military art, covering the theory and practice of preparing and conducting combat. Armament and tactics, as you know, are always in a very close relationship.
It goes without saying that the tactics of tank troops appeared almost immediately after the appearance of these troops.
And if the first tank attack on the Somme took place rather on a whim, then in all subsequent ones, tactical methods for using tanks were already in full swing. The range of these techniques, however, was initially very small. It could not have been otherwise — at that time, tanks were seen only as a tool to get out of a positional impasse, with the help of which it became possible to ram the enemy defenses. In close cooperation with the infantry and artillery, the tanks had to ensure the breakthrough of the enemy’s positions to the entire tactical depth. No other tasks were set for the tanks, and could not be set. They were not yet ready for independent action in the depths of enemy defenses. First of all, this was not allowed by the technical capabilities of the armored vehicles themselves, as well as the inability of the infantry and artillery to accompany the tanks. Actually, the depth of penetration of tanks into enemy defenses was limited by the firing range of artillery.
BETWEEN WARS
In the period between the two world wars, the development of armored vehicles significantly changed the views on the tactics of tank forces.
The advent of high-speed combat vehicles and the mechanization of infantry and artillery made it possible to set tasks for the tank forces to achieve greater success after breaking through the enemy defenses. Tanks were divided into infantry and cruiser, or infantry and cavalry, and in fact — into infantry support tanks and long-range tanks. Here, tactics already influenced armament: these two groups of tanks differed both in design and in their characteristics. Then it was considered necessary, because infantry support tanks, together with the infantry itself, had to overcome enemy defenses, including anti-tank ones, which means they had to have thick armor. For long-range tanks, mobility characteristics were considered more important.
SECOND WORLD WAR
Everything changed on the eve of World War II, when the world’s first universal tank, the T-34, was created. Following the USSR, all the main warring countries acquired such tanks. At the same time, the tasks for the tank troops were the same: breaking through the enemy defenses jointly with the infantry, and then introducing large mechanized formations or formations — corps, and subsequently armies.
These tasks were only solved now by tanks of the same type — universal ones.
POST-WAR PERIOD
Tactical views on the use of tank forces have changed little since the end of World War II. The complete motorization of the infantry and the almost complete replacement of towed artillery with self-propelled artillery only significantly added dynamism to the fighting. The appearance of nuclear weapons influenced the tactics of tank troops somewhat more. Now it was possible not to set the tanks the task of breaking through the enemy defenses, it was enough to deliver a tactical nuclear strike on it and immediately introduce tank formations into the breakthrough. Tanks, like other types of armored vehicles, turned out to be the most adapted to the conduct of hostilities in the conditions of the use of weapons of mass destruction, which, of course, made it easier for the tank troops to complete their tasks. However, all this existed only in theory. Neither in the full classical nor in the corrected post-war form, tactical methods of using tank troops have been used in the past few decades, including during fairly large-scale Middle Eastern tank battles.
The specifics of hostilities, climatic and geographical conditions made it possible to use only individual elements of tank tactics.
TODAY
Classic tank tactics were most in demand during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. But even here, for example, the first phase was almost completely absent — a breakthrough in the enemy’s defense — due to its complete collapse as a result of aviation actions. The mechanized groupings of the countries of the anti-Iraqi coalition were essentially immediately introduced into a «clean breakthrough». In the next 20 years, the tanks of the armies of the world were mainly involved in carrying out police and patrol service in the controlled territory, including in large settlements, that is, for conducting such actions for which they were not created and were never intended anywhere. This service required some changes in the design of tanks and the development of new tactics — mainly for small units and even for single tanks.
This cannot be described otherwise than the degradation of the tactics of tank troops as a component of military art.

A publication has appeared in the foreign press devoted to changes in the battle tactics of Russian tankers.
According to the Polish edition Defence24, the Russian army is now using tanks as mobile artillery, which can already fire at a distance of up to 12 kilometers. Such tactics are facilitated by the use of modern automated fire control systems and new ammunition.
«The Russians have been developing various types of missiles for years that can be used as artillery ammunition fired from tank guns,» the publication says.
At the same time, such ammunition can cause serious damage to the enemy. In particular, the OF-128 projectile with an area of destruction up to 41 square meters is mentioned.
The publication describes the so-called «carousel», during which a tank platoon fires, moving in a circle. While the first vehicle is firing at detected targets, the second, being in cover, is preparing to take up a firing position, and the third replenishes ammunition. An additional advantage of this technique, which provides a high density of fire, is the ability to mislead the enemy about the true number of vehicles participating in the battle.
A modernized version of the «carousel» is also reported, using a fourth tank, which waits in a secret position for the «carousel» to identify an enemy target, and then destroy it.
Vehicles participating in such maneuvers in urban areas are recommended to be covered with ZSU-24-2 or Tunguska anti-aircraft systems, which should destroy grenade launchers, who often occupy positions on the upper floors of buildings.
They also provide cover from helicopters.
Another tactical method is the so-called «Syrian rampart», which combines firepower and maneuverability. It was developed based on the experience of the war in Syria. «An important factor here will be to ensure the protection of combat vehicles from the effects of anti-tank weapons used by the enemy. Tanks or other vehicles move one after another within 20-100 meters, firing at a certain sector,» Defense24 writes.
Another tactical maneuver is to fire one tank from two firing positions — main and reserve. It is important that he does not linger on any of them for more than 3-5 seconds. The main purpose of such a technique is an attempt to provoke the enemy, reveal his position and assess the strength.
«Despite the high saturation of the army with combat vehicles, the idea is not to bring them into battle en masse, but to use their various advantages while ensuring close interaction with other combat systems,» sums up Defense24.
