During World War II, the Germans fielded 29 panzergrenadier divisions in which the infantry units were fully motorized to operate alongside tanks and assault guns on the battlefield. This book offers an in-depth analysis of the tactics and equipment used by Germany's motorized infantry between 1941 and 1945. Included are 95 photos and artworks.

The analysis includes the specialist training given to Germany's panzergrenadiers and how that translated into success on the battlefield, especially on the Eastern Front, where after 1943 the Germans fought a skillful and daring war of maneuver against overwhelming odds. The book also includes full descriptions of the weapons and other equipment used, from rifles to pistols to machine guns, and from flamethrowers to tanks to artillery.
