GoD's "Far From Over" edges:

Close Range-The trench knife is clearly superior. It has a longer, more durable blade which makes it more reliable in close quarters. The lack of a sheath makes carrying it along with your other weapons more difficult. Vorkuta Prisoners might just discard it in favor of their other weapons. The Malmedy Survivors do not need to leave behind their knives. Edge Malmedy Survivors

Medium range-Without a rifle, using the bayonet is going to be extremely difficult. It's pretty much like having a spear head without the shaft. The pickaxe, despite being improsvised has a longer reach, will do more damage, and the Vorkuta Prisoners are used to using it. I don't think the Malmedy Survivors are used to using the bayonet without their rifles. Edge Vorkuta Prisoners

Long range-The M1911 weights more and is one bullet short of the Makarov's magazine size, however the damage it inflicts is worth it. There's little use in the extra bullet if you need your entire clip to kill someone whilst your opponent only needs one round. Edge Malmedy Survivors

X-Factors-Whilst the Vorkuta survivors are fiercly loyal to one another and brave, they commonly were gunned down by their opponents. Yes, they did kill many of their opponents, but in the end only one of the Vorkuta Survivors escaped (Mason). The Malmedy Survivors training, stealth, and experience puts them leagues ahead of the Vorkuta Prisoners.

Winner-Malmedy Survivors. The superior firearm and x-factors lead them to a dominating victory. The Vorkuta Prisoners are brave, but they simply are unable to defeat the Malmedy Survivors with a bunch of pickaxes, even with Sergei swinging one of them.
