Pz.Grenadier is a German Infantry unit in Steel Division II.
Background[ | ]
Coming into existence in 1942, after changes to motorized and Panzer divisions, the Panzer-Grenadier as a mixed infantry/motorized unit was born. By the time of the Operation Bragation there was no doubt these units, which were in either Pz. or PzG. divisions, were some of the best equipped and trained men that the Wehrmacht had at its disposal. Due to infantry losses, motorized Panzergrenadier squad was reduced to 12 while the armored Panzergrenadier squad was reduced to 10.
Some of 20. Panzer's Panzergrenadier Regiment 59 and 112 along with 20. Panzergrenadier's two Panzergrenadier Regiment Panzergrenadier Regiment 76 and Panzergrenadier Regiment 90 were equipped with captured Soviet DP-28 instead of MG 42.
