A typical 100 to 150-man Soviet strong point:
at the ground floor...a 76.2-mm AT gun with infantry.
at the 2nd, 3rd floors & at the roof deck...heavy machine guns, infantry in all sides & the individual 'Sniper'.
all infantry were armed with automatic weapons, grenades, daggers & spades.
This set-up can pin down a 3 infantry & 2 panzer division-attack. Hitler air-lifted a 5 elite Special Purpose Engineer battalions for this purpose using assault rifles, the flamethrower, the 'Goliath' demolition tanks & the 'Foot-Stuka' APCs. The Germans were losing 5 battalions per day in this kind of battle. The Germans also deployed the Sniper-versus-Sniper battle. One Soviet Sniper killed 127 Germans...
