I hope this isn't a thread hijack but S-2 brought it up.
When was the doctrine of fighting from the within the armored infantry transport elaborated? And how is that supposed to work in theory?
I came across a couple of passing references to how the German army in WWII toyed with the idea of using panzergrenadiers in halftracks to provide intimate small-arms fire support to the panzers without dismounting. The drive to Moscow pitted halftracks against well entrenched Russian troops and the tactic was abandoned as impractical.
If anyone has any information or documentation of how fighting from the inside of armored carriers please let me know.
