1/35 German Halftrack Crewmen
Panzergrenadier is a German term for a formation of panzer grenadiers, i.e., infantry units trained to fight closely with their tanks. This term was officially used in 1942, when infantry divisions were renamed grenadier divisions and motorized infantry divisions to panzer grenadier divisions. It is worth adding that in the years 1937-1942, Schützen regiment was used to describe infantry regiments serving in armored units. Theoretically, the basic equipment of armored grenadier divisions was supposed to be armored half-tracks, particularly Sd.Kfz.251, but due to insufficient production, these infantry were often transported by truck. As a rule, an armored grenadier division consisted of three infantry regiments, two battalions in each regiment, and numerous support units, including antitank, antiaircraft, engineer, and communications units. Self-propelled guns, such as the StuG III, were often used in these formations. It is worth adding that armored grenadier divisions were formed not only in the Wehrmacht, but also in the Waffen SS, for example the Totenkopf Division or the Hohenstaufen Division.
