21 5 - b) the possibilities of circumvention Are all possibilities of bypassing the tank explored and also equipped with barriers and other obstacles? At the same time remember that the tank does not begin the bypass not directly before the barrier, but from the point where it sees it for the first time or from even further backward. By-passes always include closed barriers, otherwise the forces are lacking to close them too. One has to be tough in this respect: It is better that the German farmer drives a detour now than the Russian drives him afterwards and breaks into our barrier system. Does the armored barrier have an armor-proof connection? Otherwise, it is to be built in the form of a anti-tank trench, pile or pit barriers or similar terrain barriers. c) Defense of the barriers The most important defense facility is where the tank will see the barrier for the first time and keep it foreseeable. There, and possibly sideways at a distance of 30 - 50 m, belong the first cover holes of the barrier defense, in order to be able to shoot the tank with the Pan-sharp. Always an M,G. Over-guarding of this tank-destructing group from another place against disembarking tank crew or mounted shooters is necessary. Which defense group is divided? How is he divided? Vie and by whom is he alamed? How long does it take until he is in place? Vie is he armed? Is every man committed? Has he practiced? Does the Spear Crew have a fight instruction?
