Full-strength Panzers have not attempted to dart through the enemy lines, swirl at will in the Russian rear. Instead, the Germans apparently keep their tanks in smaller groups, close to artillery and infantry. Thus, while the German pace may be slow, it is calculated to keep concentrated columns intact, always with enough strength to protect themselves from...
