So far I have not seen a big problem attacking into swamps in my testing. I have often been able to push Soviets out of swamps at 2-1 odds or better, even when they are in forts. May have uncovered an unrelated bug and I'll keep testing.

It does seem to vary a lot - sometimes you can bounce them (rare but does happen), sometimes you'll need your infantry to grind them out. Still struggling to get to grips with the combat mechanics to figure out what the key differences are other than random chance. Similar story with city/urban hexes.

Pretty awesome book about the Airwar during the Barbarossa is:
Barbarossa: The Air Battle July-December 1941 by Christer Bergstrom.
His other works are also highly recommended for air war on the eastern front.
