German use of bayonet

Hello
I wonder if bayonet training in the Heer was somewhat lagging behind that of Commonwealth armies. More than one Allied soldier has remarked that the Germans were good at laying down firepower but when confronted by bayonet charges folded up rather too easily.
Input appreciated in advance. Thanks.
