Amplitude of deployment
I wonder if anyone knows what the amplitude of deployment of a battalion, according to the manuals of the armies in the Second World War.
I know there is a theory that maybe sometimes it was impossible to implement.
I'm reading a book publisher Osprey on the Battle of Berlin (Seellow heights), and see a display on a map where a German division occupies a width of 5 km and a width of 5 km enter two Russian army corps. (A corps of the Russian army equivalent to a German division)
If so, a brigade or a regiment would occupy a width of 1.5 km and 2 km.
Asked to set actual battles.
It is true that all depends on the area of operations. It's not just the deployment on the Russian front where the territory is vast, to the deployment on the Western Front.
According to what I saw on the map in the book a deployment of three battalions should have a width of 30 to 40 hexes. The depth whether it should be higher.
If an advance of one day can reach 10 km hopefully, in a battle of two or three hours could move no more than 2 km.
It would be interesting to know what you think.
