Normally, only one of the two regiments in the Panzer Division had an armored infantry battalion.
Some regiments had only one or two companies, and a few had no armored infantry at all. See table under Motorized Infantry Brigade for details.
On 26.07.42, all Infantry Regiments (Schützenregiment (motorisiert)) of the Panzer Divisions were redesignated as Panzer Infantry Regiments (Panzergrenadierregiment). To differentiate between motorized and armored units, the suffix in brackets "(mot)" and "(gp)" were added, respectively.
