And yes I do have a question, what are Panzergrenadiers? | No problem. You´re welcome. A “Panzergrenadier” is a member of a Mechanized Infantry unit. The “Panzergrenadier” is transported by the “Marder” the Infantry Fighting Vehicle of the “Bundeswehr”. Normaly 6 “Panzergrenadiere” (plural of Panzergrenadier) are the passengers of a “Marder” IFV. The “Marder” has a crew of 3 men or woman (since the year 2000 women can also serve in this job´s, same with the Panzergrenadiere) , a commander, a driver and a gunner. The “Panzergrenadiere” are trained and equipped for the fight against normal Infantry or Armoured units. They use the normal equipment of the Bundeswehr like: G36 AG36 P8 MG3 MG4 Panzerfaust 3 G22 Don´t know exactly but I think a few units are equiped with the new “IDZ” (“Infanterist der Zukunft “ that’s the german soldier of future projetct). This equipment includes stuff like a new body armour, squad radio, protective eyewear, new night-vision,…………. Hope that I could helped you. If you have more questions keep them coming. Greetz Joker
