It's an interesting read, but that scenario could only occur due to imperfect information. With nearly-perfect information (like what would be available in space), the German defenders would have been mobilized ahead of time, and it would have been a straightforward battle.

Read the entire section... the point is about what Wittman did with a single tank and no orders from his superiors. Yes, he had radio on that tank.

I did read the entire section. My point is that the whole scenario only arose due to an information gap.
