This page gives a good view of how effective the defense could be inside a hedgerow.Not a place that you would want to be forced to attack to say the least.Even in a tank you are placing yourself in point blank Panzerfoust range sounds exciting and the German troops could easily have a very fluid defense and retreat from a row about to be overrun into another one further back and you would not even see them.Interlocked fire as well.
