Thank you anon. This book is hard, but good.
Page 26 / 27
"The scheme of a Russian attack was to send forward their troops in
waves. The first two waves would usually be armed, the rear two waves often
weaponless. As the first two waves were cut down, the rear attackers
advanced over the corpses of their comrades, availing themselves of the
weapons no longer needed by the dead. This was an interesting strategy that
must have had an unenviable effect on their troops’ morale. After some
thought, I developed my own response to perfection. I would bide my time
until the four waves were on their way towards our lines, then open rapid fire
into the
two rear waves, aiming for the stomach. The unexpected casualties at
the rear and the terrible cries of the most seriously wounded tended to
collapse the rear lines and so disconcert the two leading ranks that the whole
attack would begin to falter. At this point I could now concentrate on the two
leading waves, dispatching those Soviets closer than 50 metres with a shot to
the heart or the head. Enemy soldiers who had turned and run I transformed
into men screaming with pain with a shot to the kidneys. At this, an attack
would frequently disintegrate altogether. In such an engagement I would
often fire off more than twenty rounds, none of which counted towards my
final total of kills. In this manner over two days, in cooperation with
comrades, I played my part in saving 7./144. On the second night, the
company escaped the encirclement, taking with it thirteen wounded. I held
the rear, keeping the pursuers at a respectful distance with accurate sniper fire
until, at first light, we re-established contact with our main front line. The
question of ethics and honour involved in my tactics is open to question, but
against such an enemy as the Soviets, who had no hesitation in slaughtering
the prisoners they took, and outnumbered us ten to one, I considered it
justified in the circumstances."

Yes, it was massively exaggerated with the "zerg tactics".
During the winter war you could make these types of claims and it would hold pretty strong, but in 1943? No fucking way.
Make no mistake though, the German infantry was absolutely world class - but it was not enough for what would be the Barbarossa deathtrap.
Look up TIK on youtube, he makes great videos about this stuff.

Was it really a myth that the russians really use Human wave tactics?
