This was an example of brains over brawn. The Soviets conducted a massed demonstration to the German front, only to shift to their right, after holding down Germans in 4 assaults. While this was happening the bulk of the Soviets bypassed Map 41 and exited map 43. The assaults drug out a bit, but in the end the Soviets cleared the trail and exited 17 steps. The German counterattack never got going as they just did not have the assets for it. Soviet victory.
