Note 217 — THE FORMAL TACTICS OF INFANTRY. (continued 4)
Walter Krueger translation
The German I. D. R. make a distinction between extension of front, “development for action” (Entfaltung, pars. 315 and 466), and “distribution in depth” (Gliedern, pars. 287-291 and 427). The term “to form for attack” (Auseinanderziehen, par. 241), means that troops are given a combat formation both as regards frontage and depth.
