Panzergrenadiers

An expensive, well-armored, tenacious unit, strong against infantry at medium to close range. With getting veterancy the squad receives a lot of dodge bonuses, which makes him very hard to kill. 

Optimally to use at medium range, as they can become a victim of units that are more deadly at close range
(Shock Troops, Guards Airborne Troops with PPSH-41, Riflemen, Paratroopers with Thompson SMGs, Rangers with Thompson SMGs, Cavalry RiflemenAssault Engineer Squad, Assault Infantry Section). Panzergrenadiers fire well on the move, which makes it effective when assault enemy positions. Using grenade effectively eliminates clusters of infantry, anti-tank guns, mortars, machine guns 
(if you can get behind the lines). 
The grenade should be thrown either at the crowd of infantry behind cover (in the hope that the opponent will “yawn”), 
or at the place where the squad will be moved automatically, trying to get away from the grenade. 
Also grenade is very effective to throw at short distance as it doesn't damage panzergrenadiers but opponent will not have to much time to react.

After 1st veterancy squad gets increased speed and reduces received accuracy when near vehicles.

Can be improved as an anti-tank unit with two panzerschrecks, while reducing effectiveness against infantry. 
They fire a volley of two missiles, they can miss. After the first veterancy, hitting moving vehicles significantly increases. 
An effective tactic is to be in motion after a shot in search of cover and attack in 4-5 seconds.

In some doctrines, it can receive three G43 rifles, which will significantly increase firepower against infantry at all ranges.

Also, some doctrines allow you to pump Ambush camouflage, which will allow you to arrange ambushes. 
For example, guarding with the fire off near the point and throwing a grenade when the enemy squad stopped to capture.

In the second half of the game, 2-3 squads with panzershreks are very effective against all medium and heavy tanks. 
Just do not get involved in an open battle with the ISU-152 and Churchill AVRE, as they are capable of destroying crowd of infantry with one shot.
