Neither side had a whole,lot to work with, but the Germans definitely have an edge. The Soviets took half of their u it's to hold the town and half to hold high ground. The odds of a Soviet victory are very slim, so it's a matter of limiting the German victory. The Germans don't take the bait in the town, going for the high ground instead. The Soviets are eliminated off the high ground and the Germans engage in the town, but run out of time before they can take the town. German victory.
