He would take calculated risks for greater gains, but unlike some commanders he did not waste lives in futile operations.

Oh he sure as heck would. One example would be the raid on Hammelburg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_Force_Baum

Essentially he found out the location where his son in law was a prisoner and launched a raid to spring him. It had nothing to do with the main attacks.
