Panzer Gernadiers

The Panzergrenadiers (1940) were the motorised infantry of Germany’s Panzer divisions, trained and equipped to fight closely alongside tanks—securing breakthroughs, protecting flanks, and seizing key terrain during rapid Blitzkrieg advances. Typically transported in trucks or half-tracks (where available) and armed with Kar98k rifles, MG34 machine guns and light mortars, they formed the flexible, combined-arms backbone of German armoured warfare in the 1940 campaign.
