According to my father who was in the 6th AD. You could hear the Germans starting their tanks up. Once they got one started, they would use it to pull off the others. Another trick they would use, was pulling tanks into position with horses so you couldn't hear the engine. They were a very resourceful bunch of people. I have always wondered where the rumor of the individual German soldier not being able to think for himself came from.

Yeah, ain't that the truth.
The 6th does not seem to have anybody to sing their story. That is terrible. Just dry as dust sitrep - action reports. Got to read between the lines.
I'll keep looking. I bet there are some good diaries.
