Attrition warfare is a form of military strategy in which one side attempts to gradually wear down its opponent to the point of collapse by inflicting continuous losses in personnel, material, and morale.[1] The term attrition is derived from the Latin word atterere, meaning “to wear down” or “to rub against”, reflecting the grinding nature of the strategy.[2][3]
The last major war fought with this as the dominant strategy was World War I (in the style of trench warfare), most preeminently at the Battle of the Somme. While World War II was begun with this strategy, it quickly fell off, with battle groups and lines breaking off into smaller, more mobile, and more versatile combat groups, pioneered by American commando units which could rapidly outmaneuver enemy troop deployments.
Germany of course pioneered blitzkrieg warfare in large part but the thing is you can teach fascists how to fight effectively all you want, they will always unlearn it in favor of fighting in a way that alligns with their aesthetics and ideology that drew them to violence in the first place.
Russia and Germany were happy to do this together even as in many ways fighting efficiency increased, neither side on the Eastern Front gave a shit about human life.
this specific tactic was known as Attrition Warfare
