eDuring World War II the Germans fielded 29 panzergrenadier divisions, in which fully motorized infantry units operated alongside tanks and assault guns. This in-depth analysis examines the recruitment and specialized training of these units and how that training translated to successful battlefield tactics in the Lightning War from 1939 to 1941 and on the Eastern Front after 1942.

Limited Overview of Panzergrenadiers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fighting Techniques of a Panzergrenadier: 1941-1945 (Hardcover)
This book only gave a brief description of tactics, weapons and operations. Perhaps it was too ambitious to cover this broad a topic in one book. However, it was well-written and does address most of these topics.As an introductory text for those new to German infantry it would probably be a good read. I am currently looking for a more detailed book on the subject especially concerning operations on the Eastern Front.

This review is from: Fighting Techniques of a Panzergrenadier: 1941-1945 (Hardcover)
I own and prize the TECHNIQUES books about the Japanese Infantryman and the US Marines. This work lacks their detail. Panzergrenadier is pretty good, but not up to their standard.

This review is from: Fighting Techniques of a Panzergrenadier: 1941-1945 (Hardcover)
This book is a good read. And of high quality. The book does a good job of giving an overview of the Panzergrenadier through the war years. But the subject is not covered in depth. For the subject is quite ambitious for a 95 page book. This is a very good introduction to German mobile infantry tactics of the time. And how it had to evolve over the war years to meet the new demands the soldiers faced.
