Grenadier Platoon (Early, Plastic)

During the Polish Campaign, the old infantry organisation proved the be too cumbersome to operate effectively. A new organisation was created in which each infantry platoon was rearranged into four Gruppen (groups or squads), with each Gruppe reduced to ten men. With an extra squad in each platoon, their firepower increased as there were now four MG34 light machine-guns for fewer riflemen. As stocks became available, many non-comissioned officers began to be armed with the MP40 machine pistol, further increasing the platoon's firepower.
