Pretty easy to withdraw from a city when you have it surrounded by a fairly large perimeter of sacrificial lambs.

There have been reports and videos throughout the war of both sides using their helicopters this way.

Yeah, Enemy at the Gates seemed to lean a bit too hard on western stereotypes of the Red Army during WWII, but if anything is pretty mild compared to the modern Russian army.

19956

I’m starting to wonder if the war hammer 40K universe is based on real life more than I thought.

Commissars have both the right and duty to immediately execute any Imperial guardsman or officer who shows cowardice or incompetence in battle.

How else would you possibly maintain morale?
