First off, I believe the German soldiers only run out of ammunition in response to a paragraph check.
Yeah. It was due to an Event at the beginning of the next round.

Beyond that I know that there are German paragraphs that specifically mention grenades for those German soldier that carry them and there are also Germans that have a pistol and another weapon. So I would say that if a paragraph calls for a German soldier to fire a weapon and they are out of ammo they will not throw a grenade instead because there may be specific paragraphs that will call on the German soldier to use his grenades in specific situations.
Thanks. I had thought I had read something about not being able to use grenades, but I couldn't find it. Later, I checked The Battle Hymn rules and finally found it there and then in the same place in the Ambush rules. Just wasn't where I was expecting it to be.

Although not certain I would of thought that any German who runs out of ammo would have a special action or special preservation in place, maybe worth rechecking if you can.
That would make a great deal of sense but probably add a lot of complication to the game. As far as I can tell, unless a special reaction is specifically put into effect, the only one is self-preservation when US soldiers are adjacent or in the same hex.
Thanks for the comments.
