I don't know how proficient they were about it. But the Germans lost 500,000 men between 42 and 43 when they laid siege to Stalingrad.


They came into their own in late 43 and 44. Check into Bagration sometimes...strategically brilliant and brutal. Its what really crushed the germans...of course by then the Germans were already bled white and very weak...and facing a war now on three fonts which is certainly a big part of Bagrations success.
