He got going with 10 men under his order, a number that developed whenever detainees were permitted to go along with, he said. “There were all the more dead bodies, and that’s just the beginning, from there, the sky is the limit, individuals coming in. In the end, I had many individuals under my order,” he said. “I was unable to count the number of. They were on a steady course. Dead bodies, more detainees, all the more dead bodies, more detainees.”
Wagner missing the mark on the strategic procedure, with troops thinking of plans on the fly, Medvedev said.
“There were no genuine strategies by any means. We just got orders about the place of the foe… There were no distinct orders about how we ought to act. We just arranged how we would go about it, bit by bit. Who might start shooting, and what sort of movements we would have… How it would turn out that was our concern,” he said.
