Terrain refers to the natural and artificial characteristics that make up the earth's surface. Both natural and artificial elements influence military activities. On the other hand, terrain intelligence is knowledge of the military relevance of an area's natural and artificial features. Tactical intelligence, connected to the Battlegroup, is focused on tactical operations support. The specialized reconnaissance units are assigned to identify, observe, and gather data given to command elements for distribution to command elements and units.
To organize strategic and tactical actions, the commander needs tactical intelligence. All logistics plans, especially those developed for special operations or severe climates, require detailed and trustworthy topographical knowledge. Special logistical studies are necessary when preparing operations in mountains, jungles, winter, and airborne and amphibious operations (Center for Military History 1952, 44). Because of the temperature, weather, and geography, the commander is limited. Tactical intelligence is required to assess the needs for new modes of transportation, housing, building, weaponry, and clothing. It is a prerequisite for the creation of new machinery and the maintenance and modification of current machinery.
Tactical intelligence aids in the planning and execution of tactical and other operations. It specializes in information obtained locally or given by higher headquarters, and it is primarily concerned with the impact of weather and topography on the unit's specific activities. Route reconnaissance reports are crucial for giving up-to-date information on communication routes (Rosenberger and Thomas 2019, 1). In addition, the unit intelligence officer must offer the tactical intelligence that a commander requires to make an intelligent judgment and implement an effective strategy.
Infiltration methods used by the Russians were most effective during the winter months, resulting in increased speed and Tempo. This was because the German defence system, which was centred on solid points, virtually encouraged them. Since they lacked sufficient soldiers to occupy continuous lines backed up by reserves, the Germans were obliged to adopt the strong defence point (Center for Military History 1952, 47). The Russians were continually trying to separate and eliminate opposing forces; partisans were deployed in large numbers to achieve this goal.
Germany wanted to expand its influence into Russia during World War II. Many of the confrontations between Germany and Russia took place between 1941 and 1944, spanning four years (Center for Military History 1952, 49). Over the preceding four years, the German soldiers had not been exposed to some of the environmental conditions they faced in Russia. The climate in Russia may be severe, making the landscape unpredictable. The weather has an impact on people's living circumstances, mainly German troops. Russian officials recognized the tactical benefit of being familiar with the temperature, climate, and topography and made sure to take advantage of it. Due to a lack of intelligence preparation for the Russian battle...
