There were two major features on the axis of advance of the division: First, the town of Beaumont Hamel, which consisted of about 162 houses at the time of the attack and had been turned into a veritable fortress by the Germans.
The Germans achieved high operational density at the breakthrough stretches (one division per 10 km on average and one division per 5 or 6 km at the main axis of advance), which enabled them to deliver a powerful initial blow and achieve considerable superiority over the Soviet troops in forces and assets: at the main axis of advance their superiority in forces was 6.
