Supposedly in vCoH they were supposed to represent the mixed german units that were in Holland during Operation Market Garden, which was mostly the 719th Infantry Division, the 2nd SS Panzer Corps, and the Fallscrhimjager divisions.
The general strengths of PE lie in early game, because they can capture points much faster than any other faction, and they can also make more vehicles than the other factions. Examples are like the scout car, or playing as SE, you can start booby trapping points after just 1 CP. Luftwaffe can drop extremely powerful infantry after just 3 CP.
In comparison, Wehrmacht takes a long time to get going. At the start, all they have are volks, a schwimmwagen, and maybe an MG42. Meanwhile, PE can have kettenkrads, schwimmwagens, scout cars, and infantry halftracks in the same time.
But early game against PE is pretty simple. If you build AT guns and Boys, then PE can't do much. If you don't have any anti-tank, then the PE scout car forces you to retreat.
