Overview:

During the confused aftermath of the second series of great Soviet winter counteroffensives, the Germans found themselves able to retake recently lost territory using elite troops to better the Soviet numerical superiority and dug-in positions. In such situations, surprise was more beneficial than pre-attack artillery barrages at the 'Schwerpunkt'. Thus, tactically, the attacking force was to creep up to enemy positions, in order to attack instantly at dawn.
