You're not thinking Russian/Soviet.

Battalion per front! Employed in multiple spearheads at at least company strength. Soviet doctrine ran toward hit heavy in multiple spots, and strongly follow up on the spots that succeed.

When designed and the prototype was built, The Soviets had a lot of T-55s, backed by remaining T-34/85s.

On to the Rhine!
