Default Re: Dismounted PanzerGrenadiers coy.

Hi DRG
Something else I have found that may have bearing on the discusion, the TOE for the gross duetchland panzergrenadier regiment.
http://chrito.users1.50megs.com/kstn...eutschgelb.htm
Again this TOE shows the rifle coys to be equiped with LMGs However note the the fourth heavy/schwere company of each batttalion does seem to have a MMG per squad. Perhaps this is what the Schützenpanzer reference is referring to? not the rifle squads in the rifle coys but the "rifle" squads in the Battalions 4th heavy support coy?

Would I be rude to ask why the panzergrenadier squads wont be split? is it to much work, not feasable, not realistc? The TOE shows 6 protze trucks per platoon each would carry a 6 men plus the driver, ie a 2 man LMG team and 3 riflemen plus the section leader with LMG?

also this link may be of interest.
