Note 161 — THE FORMAL TACTICS OF INFANTRY. (continued 3)
Walter Krueger translation
See Rohne, Schieszlehre für die Infanterie, p. 93, et seq.
In view of the greater dispersion of fire in action, the author recommends the selection of either one elevation only, or, at the longer ranges, the employment of combined sights, in which the elevations differ from each other by 200 m. In peace time the use of combined sights, by well-trained marksmen, in which rear sight elevations differ by only 50 m. would, indeed, be sufficient to increase the number of hits, but on the battlefield the favorable conditions found on the target range are lacking.
