    During the 1930s Germany motorised and mechanized infantry came into being, organized as part of a ‘combined arms’ formation. The term Panzergrenadier came about in 1942, classifying all the mechanised and motorised units as armored units instead of infantry.

      Yeah, they would be kidding. Riding in military combat vehicles is NOT comfy. Not in the 1930’s and 40’s and not today either. Wooden benches or steel seats with no padding and almost no suspension to absorb vibrations. Every bump and bounce is felt.

      Research Maneuver warfare, that's basically what "Blitzkrieg" was. There's this misconception that "'Blitzkrieg" was this brand new idea, never seen before on the battlefield. It's a very old tactic, the Germans during World War 2 were just the first to incorporate such tactics with modern equipment (tanks, half-tracks, tanks, aircraft, etc). Fun fact, most Heer units walked during the war, and the Germans had more horses than trucks.
      The only "true" mechanized/motorized army was the British, because it was so small (in comparison to rest of Europe and the United States) they were able to motorize almost the entire army.
