No flanking is used in smaller encounters. The Germans formed a pocket around an area and advanced on the other sides threatening the Russian's retreat and supply lines. Flanking was known for a long time but this hasn't the Germans (I'm pretty sure) invented it. Before it was just lines of people shooting at each other and some flanking but not across an entire town.
