Just a thought, have you searched the internet? Google? Did you find ANYTHING???I personally know nothing about panzer pioneers but I do know that it is a good idea to do reasearch on my own rather than rely on others to do it for me. I know that is is really easy to ask " what do I need for fill in the blank" but maybe you should ask for some links to get you started? Like I said, just a thought.

I STRONGLY second Click's advice. The "give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he eats for life" theory most definitely applies in ww2 airsofting and reenacting.

I did several google serches and they all turned up nothing , I do not have any boks avalible to me on the subject ,as of right now , so I was trying to find out if any one knew if the basic kit differd from the panzergrenadiers .links would be great , and I like doing my own reserch , but I can not find a start.

You would in be a pionner zug attached to the panzergrenadiers. black piped should boards and the optional equipment. AKA Pionner side bags and back back, long spade, wire cutters, you would be issued more mines and heavy weapons.

I know that IMA USA sells a repro of the German Pioneer's backpack:
www.ima-usa.com/product_info.php/products_id/1563
If I remember correctly, the pioneers carried a whole variety of unique equipment and had their own ways of storing/carrying these items. Here is a link to a pioneer reenacting unit:
www.afn.org/~afn41941/43stp.html
I know that there are books on the subject and that this book has a page on an engineer/pionier:
www.amazon.com/German-Soldiers-World-War-Two/dp/2915239355/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1204470772&sr=8-1

I am sure that there is more info online, but I couldn't find any. Keep looking or maybe invest in a book. Anyone else have anymore links? Thanks!
