And now for some Richthofen

[Richard Hargreaves]

Wolfram, not Manfred...

Infanterie geht einfach dort nicht hin, wo Russe gar nicht mehr schiesst.

What I'm struggling with here is the double negative: The Infantry simply do not advance where the Russians don't shoot at all. Surely they'd advance where there was shooting... and not where there was

[HeinrichFrey]

Without a closer look on the context Manfred`s cousin might have meant: Infantry simply didn`t went in where enemy fire had ceased.
Happy New Year, Richard!

[Richard Hargreaves]

Actually, in context, that makes sense now I've translated the next day's entry when he complains about the lack of attacking Geist of the troops.

Happy New Year Matthias! and thanks to all who've unravelled convoluted scraps of German for me this year.
