The term "Panzergrenadier" was introduced in 1942 and applied equally to the infantry component of the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, and later Waffen-SS Panzergrenadier divisions. As this captivating new Images of War book vividly describes, these elite divisions fought as mechanized infantry and escort for and in close cooperation with panzers and other armored fighting vehicles. Trained to fight both mounted and on foot, their primary objective was to maintain the swift momentum of armored troops on the battlefield. Using a wealth of rare, often unpublished photographs with detailed captions and text, the author charts the fighting record of the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe Panzergrenadier Truppe units. This includes their initial successes on the Eastern Front. However, as defeat approached, they were forced on the defensive on all fronts, including the bitter fighting in Italy and the Western Front. As well as describing their many actions, the book details the vehicles and weapons used and the main personalities.
