Note 469 — THE FORMAL TACTICS OF INFANTRY. (continued 8)
Walter Krueger translation
“The defender will only be able to make a frontal counter-attack from his position when he has repulsed the assault and has made the most of fire action, or when it is important to drive away the enemy who has been brought to a standstill in front of the defender’s position. A premature counter-attack may lead to the loss of the position.” (Par. 414 German I. D. R.).
