Weapons Edges

Long Range: The Karabiner is pretty good rifle, but the Mosin Nagant was famous for it's ruggedness and it's accuracy. Many famous Russian snipers used it in the battle of Stalingrad because of it's quality and it was used many years after the war  by other groups. The muzzle velocity are very similar, the mag capacity/feeding system is the same. I think the ruggedness and accuracy are enough to give it the edge. EDGE: Vasily Chuikov

Medium Range: The PPD-40 has a higher rate of fire, higher muzzle velocity, and if used with a drum magazine, it has almost three times the mag capacity of the MP-40. In your edges, you said that the MP-40 had a capacity, which is only true if used with a box magazine. Also, the MP-40 was initially issued only to paratroopers and unit commanders. It was not until the end of the war that it was issued to regular platoons after the German army realized it was being outgunned in urban combat by the soviet army, where light machine guns were far more common in regular units. I think this should also be a factor in the battle, if possible. EDGE: Vasliy Chuikov

Short Range: The Nagant M1895 has a longer barrel, and a way higher muzzle velocity. It only has one less round capacity than the P38, so that would probably not make very much difference anyways. I give my edge to the Nagant. EDGE: Vasily Chuikov

Tank:  The T-34 has a slower rate of fire and took a long time to engage targets. However, the T-34 was faster. They both have formidable armour and weaponry, but I think the Tiger's ability to engage targets quickly is a huge advantage. EDGE: Erwin Rommel

Explosives: I don't think there is enough difference between two grenades to assign an edge, so it comes down to Molotov Cocktail vs  Schrapnellmine. Molotov cocktails are alright weapons for urban combat, but the  Schrapnellmine is not an improvised weapon, and is more effective against soldiers, as the enemy does not have time to run away as it burns. EDGE: Erwin Rommel

Overall Winner: Vasily Chuikov. He has more weapons edges, and I agree with your assessment that he was more brutal he was also very ruthless, and not concerned about avoiding casualties.
