Panzergrenadier (abbreviated PzGren or Pzg) (Literally; armored grenadier) is a German term for motorized or mechanized infantry, as introduced during World War II.
Panzergrenadier and T34-85.
History
Panzergrenadiers were the infantry assigned to Panzer and Panzergrenadier divisions, and were the bulk of the fighting force in those formations. Transported either in trucks or SdKfz 251 half tracks, the role of the Panzergrenadier was to support the tanks when in offense, or defend the ground secured by the tanks. Their squads were armed with twice as many MG34 or MG42 light machine-guns than the regular Grenadiers, and their support weapons were nearly all towed or mounted in vehicles.
The Panzergrenadiers in Company of Heroes appear to be from the Panzeraufklärungsabteilung (Mechanized Reconnaissance Battalion) of a Panzer or Panzergrenadier division, due to the SdKfz 250 light half-tracks they are using, and the reference to "Spähtrupp" in their speech (Spähtrupp means scout patrol).
Tactics & Tips
- Panzer Grenadiers with the Gewehr 43 upgrade are deadly in buildings, and will seem to survive there for a very long time. Therefore, Panzer Grenadiers can take a role similar to the entrenched infantry section.
