The gist of it seems to be that the German squad leader led from the front and usually concentrated on getting his LMG into action. That type of leadership and employment is more like something we expect to see at fire team level today instead of squad level. That's close to Paul Melody's recommendations for squads too.

Changing the subject a little: I thought there was a light infantry article that had some operational history on the Chindits and Galahad somewhere on the cgsc.edu link but I can't find it. The search function didn't work for me. Anyone have a link to the article I'm talking about?
