One thing the Germans learned early was that you have to have infantry to support Armor. You can’t just sent out the armor by itself.
Since my Father was in the Combat Engineers, I have noticed that infantry typically speak highly of the Engineers.
I also read a German book about their armor while attacking Russia. The author said they were going through heavy artillery fire but they were safe in their tanks but the “sappers” which they called their engineers, had nothing but their helmets to protect them while they were building and repairing bridges.
As a former Infanteer, the only guys I respected more were the combat engineers. Everyone else was wogs (without guts). Those engineers have a tough job too, nothing like prodding for mines with a bayonet under fire.
“Sappers” were also the guys who “Probed” the ground looking for Land Mines! ENORMOUS TESTICLES!!!!
