SynopsisIn World War II Germany's doctrine of mobile warfare dominated the battlefield. By trial and error, the Germans were the first to correctly combine the strength in tanks and in mobile infantry and artillery. This integration of mobile units, equipment, and tactics underpinned Germany's successes in the first half of the war. As the war dragged on, the Allies sought to copy German tactics but German armies remained supreme in this type of warfare until their losses had seriously degraded their capabilities. This study traces the development of the different types of units that came together in the Panzergrenadier branch from the interwar years through World War II. Using color photographs to display the changes in uniform, equipment, and insignia in all theaters of operations throughout the conflict, this is a complete account of Hitler's elite armored infantry., In World War II Germany's doctrine of mobile warfare dominated the battlefield.

Using colour plates to display the changes in uniform, equipment and insignia in all theatres of operations throughout the conflict, this is a complete account of Hitler's elite armoured infantry., A detailed study of the German Army's elite motorized branch of infantry, crucial to the blitzkrieg, designed to be inseparable from the Panzers in every front of World War II., The history of military forces, artefacts, personalities and techniques of warfare Famously, at the outbreak of World War II it was the German Army alone that had successfully integrated tanks, motorized infantry, artillery and support services into divisions truly capable of mobile offensive warfare. This was the ground element of the 'Blitzkrieg' that rolled over first Poland, then most of Western Europe in 1939-40, and which almost reached Moscow in 1941. This book traces the evolving organization and armament of the mobile infantry arm - first motorized, and later partly armoured - throughout the war, in Western Europe, North Africa, Italy and on the Eastern Front Including highly detailed tables of divisional allocation and front-line deployment, it covers the development of motorized Rifles regiments within the Panzer Divisions into Panzergrenadier units, and also that of Light and Motorized Infantry Divisions into Panzer and finally Panzergrenadier Divisions. In parallel, it describes their evolving uniforms and insignia, illustrated with photographs and eight detailed colour plates. Book jacket.
