Description

"1940 - 1945".


Although the name Panzergrenadiere was coined in the early 1940s, the concept of infantry working in conjunction with armour was much older. It tended to refer to both motorised divisions and the infantry in Panzer divisions, but in both cases they enjoyed an advantage over those divisions that continued to rely on horse-drawn transport throughout the war. Much of the weaponry was available throughout the war, with four of the poses holding the Kar 98k carbine and five having the MP38 or MP40 submachine gun. However the late war feel is reinforced by the second figure on the top row, who holds an MP43/StG44 assault rifle, and the first figure in the second row. He holds both a machine gun and what looks like a Panzerwurfmine, which was a hand-thrown anti-tank grenade. This weapon, which was first introduced in 1943, required some training to use and was therefore not widely issued but was instead used by specialist anti-tank squads. Also late war is the Panzerschreck at the end of the second row, which was an improved copy of the American bazooka. Finally the first figure in row three is in the process of attaching a Hafthohlladung, a 3kg shaped charge mine, to some target.
