A large part of this weird movie bullshit is people taking quotes from witnesses and ignoring the context, or taking them too literally.
For instance, in WW II the Soviets wouldn't give the Nazis time to rest or fortify if possible. They would often send smaller harassing attacks to deny them time to rest or dig more trenches, knowing these attacks wouldn't gain ground because they didn't have enough troops in the area yet.
So there are many accounts of Nazis talking about endless unsuccessful Soviet assaults that gained no ground. Which out of context sounds like something that it's not. Not so say this is an innocent mistake portraying the Red Army this way, it's intentional.
