German Begleit Assault Platoon
Share / Bookmark
The 189. Sturmgeshutz-abteilung was the first StuG assault gun unit to receive dedicated Begleit - escort - troops. These tank riders were first assigned to the batterie for the Battle of Kursk, armed with rifles and submachine-guns, and their job was to protect the vulnerable assault guns from infantry assaults. They would sweep enemy positions, clear anti-tank positions or scout ahead of their gun, and when a threat was spotted they would deal with it swiftly, allowing the assault gun to focus on more serious threats. This deadly combination proved successful and escort troops become common amongst the other assault gun units.
