In the Battle of Normandy 1944, German forward observers were strategically positioned well forward with ample communication reserves to compensate for the 2nd Panzer Division's artillery disadvantage (only 1/10 of enemy fire), enabling effective ground observation and artillery coordination during the bocage terrain challenges.

Forward Observers in Normandy 1944 and Battle for Caen in WW2 #tank #ww2 #shortsAdded:
Since our own artillery can fire only 1/10 of the amount fired by the enemy, success can only be achieved by the closest concentration and best possible ground observation.
Therefore, forward observers must be placed well forward.
Ample provision of means of communication are essential.
Even in counterattacks, the artillery forward observers must be placed well forward.
It is essential to maintain ample reserves of forward observers in order to avoid the loss of all forward observers and their equipment during the enemy artillery barrages.
