First rule of a panzer grenadier: "Try not to get squished under the tracks"

Did the germans infantry in Stalingrad have any kind of smoke grenades or flares and such? I'm thinking about the difficulties of coordinating tanks and infantry that hasn't trained with tanks. In a city, there will be buldings that infantry can capture and buildings that are far too reinforced with enemy occupants. So you'd want a way to mark those buildings so the tanks can open fire at them from a distance if possible. Deploying smoke or visible flares can be used as a marker if agreed upon with other units. Even if you can't directly communicate with the tank crews through radio, you can assist them by giving clear visual markers of targets to engage. But maybe they already did that?

@MilitaryHistoryNotVisualized : Thank you for the clarificartion. I didn't want to assume anything because from your videos I've learned that the german forces were hard pressed for resources in Stalingrad, so I thought that perhaps they didn't have such ammunition at the time.
