288.Afrika-PzG Reg. Grenadiere image - Operation Avalanche: Fall of Italy mod for Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor

Deploy two squads of Grenadiers from the 90.PzGren-Div./288.Afrika-PzGren Reg. to the front. Grenadiers form the backbone of the German Heer's (Army) forces and were tough and extremely disciplined. As one British commentator put it, "The German soldier is good at his craft, better than the Allies expected. His exceptional combat skills are enhanced by the superiority of his weapons and the excellent leadership provided his NCOs and junior officers. The unpleasant truth is is that neither the British nor American soldier is the equal of his German adversary on the battlefield." The .288-Reg. and parent 90.PzGren Div. were both veteran bodies of troops having fought in the Battle of France, North Africa, and Sicily. Repute: Aggressive.

Note the new skins! Stylish as Feldgrau might be, that type of uniform was rarely worn on the Italian Front. New skins for normal infantry squads will finally be included in the upcoming 0.04.7 patch.
