THE BATTLE -Battle of the Bulge (or Ardennes Offensive):  Throughout December and January of 1945 Hitler's code-named plan 'Watch on the Rhine' took place. Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt was to break through the US line at Ardennes in order to create a German salient or 'bulge' which would isolate Allied forces at the north end of the corridor created by the drive. The casualties were tremendous and included Hitler's elite Panzer units. The German counteroffensive, although pinning US troops for some weeks, eventually failed.

Three Panzer units were used in the operation, the 5th, 6th and 7th along with a troop of English-speaking Germans in US uniforms commanded by Otto Skorzeny. The operation began on 16th December on a 113km section of the front line under the watch of US 1st Army and General Bradley's 12th Army. This section of the front had been quiet in the previous months and so the Allies were taken by surprise, and Allied air support could not be scrambled because of poor weather conditions. These factors allowed the German troops to advance quickly.

SS Panzer Grenadiers by Chris Collingwood.

The term Panzergrenadier was applied equally to both the infantry section of the German Panzer Divisons and was also used for the new Panzergrenadier Divisions. The German army Panzergrenadier Divisions initially came from existing infantry divisions but were the first Divisons to be motorised. These included the 3rd, 10th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 25th, and 29th divisions. During the war special elite regiments such as the Grosdeutchland Division were created. The Waffen SS also produced a number of panzergrenadier regiments. Many army and Waffen SS regiments were upgraded to Panzer divisions during the later stages of the war. The Panzergrenadier division usually consisted of six battalions of truck-mounted infantry organized into either two or three regiments, also a battalion of tanks and artillery were included along with sections of anti-tank, anti-aircraft and combat engineers. Panzer grenadier divisions were often equipped with assault guns - Stugs. Panzergrenadier divisions had one tank battalion less than a Panzer division but strengthened with two more infantry battalions. Of 226 panzergrenadier battalions in the whole of the German Army, Waffen SS (and some in the Luftwaffe ) in September 1943, only 26 were equipped with armoured half tracks, the remaining Panzergrenadier divisions were equipped with trucks.
