I'd like to clear up the situation with Hauptman Erich Schulze.
Schulze isn't telling his platoon commanders much about what they are to do, in this mission.
So you can't be Schulze, who will have made the plan for the mission, whatever it is, and who commands the whole force.
Hauptman Schulze was in this car.
Sorry, but I don't have much sympathy. His job was to run the battle, not drive into a position where some Red Army soldier with a Big Gun (or even a Little Gun) could take the opportunity to kill a lightly-armoured command vehicle marked for death by a fancy aerial.
I don't know at what stage in the fight he was killed; maybe it was after he had seen all the others get the chop and he just thought 'Oh, what the Hell!' and went for it.
