The quote you bring makes me laugh every time...the opposite of successful combined arms cooperation. It is very odd that the US Army did not learn the lesson from combat experience that one needs to train the infantry together with the tanks for proper combined arms combat ability. The Wehrmacht did introduce the Panzergrenadier-training even before the war broke out, if I remember correctly what you said in your video on the Panzergrenadiere. So the combat effectiveness of the Panzergrenadiere did not rely on the half-tracks and rather on their training in cooperation and combined arms warfare with tanks. Of course a half-track is easier to picture than your training background so their ability got symbolized in the half-track.

:) hmm I am not entirely sure on the Panzergrenadier Training specifically, yet, I remember that at Creveld noted that the Germans were from the get-go trained in combined arms, as such I assume that for the "motorisierten Schützen" (motorized riflemen, later renamend Panzergrenadiere) this was also the case.
