At the moment I am desperatly trying to get more into Soviet platoon/company level tactics. Unfortunatly everyone seems convinced they stuck to the human wave which I know to be false.

This is hard to find, Stefan. Guess you'll have to get a couple of first-account memoirs of junior officers and foot soldiers, not very common. But I've got several books about the Soviet STAVKA and annalysis of Soviet operations and the 'massive attacks' are one of many myths of the war. Such masses of men were not thrown all in at once, they were practically infinite reinforcements that didn't give the Germans the slightiest chance to rest or breath.
