Is "Pzg." the correct abbreviation?

The correcht abbreviation is PzGren

Verify/extend the list of divisions

Mark them somehow on the Heer Order of Battle page, and link to it.

Add mention of a few of the more famous divisions and the FG brigade.

[edit] Plural use in English

Whenever you see the term "Panzergrenadier" used in articles, it's plural is always "Panzergrenadiers". I was wondering if anyone feels that the original plural "Panzergrenadiere" should be used, or if the word is so far integerated into English that English grammar applies here?

The same argument could be applied to the Fallschirmjägere. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.112.67.3 (talk) 01:22, 29 December 2006 (UTC).

The plural of Fallschirmjäger is Fallschirmjäger. Words ending on -er in German have the same spelling in plural and singular. As for Panzergrenadiere, in my opinion the only valid option. The word isn't integrated into English in any way - you don't see the US Army calling its Mechanized Infantry Panzergrenadiers, do you?
