Panzergrenadier Aces

This WWII history sheds light on the operations and combat experiences of Hitler's &quote;armored infantry&quote;. As the foot soldiers who went into battle alongside the Third Reich's fearsome tanks, the panzergrenadiers occupied a unique position in the German war machine. Whether in the Wehrmacht or Waffen-SS, these troops endured all the horrors of infantry combat fighting hand-to-hand, storming enemy positions, and rescuing fallen comrades but they did so in the shadow of thundering armored fighting vehicles like the Tiger and Panther. In Panzergrenadier Aces, Franz Kurowski vividly recounts many of these soldier's most dramatic stories, offering a rare window into their role in the larger conflict while bringing them and their actions to life.
