Nazi banzai tactics

I know. The Russians used human-wave assaults throughout the war, the Germans not so much. The enormous disparity in casualties bears this out.

I always remember from “The World at War” when they quoted a German General in the early days of the war when it appeared that the Nazis were unstoppable.

He said this war was like an elephant fighting ants, the elephants will kill millions of ants, but eventually the sheer number of ants will end up eating the elephant down to the bone.
