They are potent frontline infantry for the Oberkommando. Volksgrenadiers are reformed from hardened veterans, recovering wounded, and new recruits. Volksgrenadiers also can salvage fuel from abandoned weapons and vehicles to compensate OKW's lack of capability to build storages. Volksgrenadiers can build sandbags to provide directional heavy cover and with the right doctrine, they can lay minefields and construct bunkers. In terms of skill, they are superior to Conscripts and Osttruppen but weaker than US Riflemen, Wehrmacht Grenadiers, and British Infantry Sections. They can also throw incendiary grenades that explode upon impact, setting fire to an area. Volksgrenadiers can be upgraded with STG-44's at the cost of munitions, this increases their firepower significantly. Each squad is 5-men strong, which can hold out long enough against most infantry units from other factions. They are strong at long range, but vulnerable to light vehicles due to their lack of an AT snare in the early game but can later on use Panzerfausts to cripple vehicles.
Volksgrenadiers are the basic combat infantry of the OKW. Are you looking for the Volksgrenadier Squad article for the original Company of Heroes? This is an article about Company of Heroes 2.
