Panzergrenadier is a German term denoting the formation of tank grenadiers, i.e. infantry units trained to fight in close cooperation with their tanks. The term was officially used in 1942, when infantry divisions were renamed grenadier divisions, and motorized rifle divisions were renamed tank-grenadier divisions. It should be added that in 1937-1942, the term "Schützen regiment" was used to denote infantry regiments serving in armored units. In theory, the main armament of armored grenadier divisions should have been half-track armored personnel carriers, especially the Sd.Kfz.251, but due to insufficient production, these infantry were often transported by trucks. By default, an armored grenadier division consisted of three infantry regiments, two battalions in each regiment and numerous auxiliary units, including anti-tank, anti-aircraft, sapper and liaison units. Self-propelled guns such as the StuG III were often used in these compounds. It should be added 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.
