Tell me about German Stormtroopers Tell me about the Arditi Tell

All I can remember is that German Stormtroopers pioneered infiltration tactics, and the use of grenades before a quick assault. Imagine you aren't carrying a rifle, but instead have a bit bag just loaded with grenades.

They also had extremely high casualty rates unfortunately for being so elite due to the nature of their work.

not really
those are things they had indeed been doing
but they hardly pioneered it
infiltration tactics such as the above were being developed as early as 1916 and by most combatants

the one thing the germans pioneered was gathering up veteran soldiers into dedicated formations

this also proved to be their undoing as they inevitably suffered high losses and so were doubly weakened - the german manpower situation was bad to begin with, but losing experienced cadres further added to the injury

A meme
Here's how they fared when storming a shitty fort
Keep in mind that the enemy surrendered because they had no water left

It's happened all throughout history. Romans for example.
