1- Armor 2- Terrain that limited movement

A good book on the subject of Armored Infantry is "Neither Hope nor Fear" by General Frido von Senger Und Etterlin, the defender of Cassino. General von Senger describes his experiences serving in the German Army in Russia, Sicily and Italy, where he was in command of the 14th Panzer Corps.

He explains the use of combined armor and infantry and explains why the panzer grenadier division was better suited for mobile action than a pure Panzer Division.

His book explains how the blitzkrieg was useless once the Germans were facing Russian and American armor. The only exception to this seemed to be in North Africa, which could be due to the type of terrain but there was still some battles where the armor was not evenly matched.
