German Automatic Weapons of World War II

 

In this attractive treatment, the seven classic automatic weapons of the World War II German Wehrmacht are described and illustrated in colour photographs. Detailed sequences show them in close-up; during step-by-step field stripping; and during handling, loading, and live firing trials in outdoor settings, by gunners wearing authentic period uniforms.

The illustrations are accompanied by concise accounts of each weapon's historical and technical background, and by accessible non-technical descriptions of its firing characteristics. Guns covered are: Mauser Schellfeuer machine pistol; Erma MP40 sub-machine gun; MG34 machine gun; MG42 machine gun; FG42/1 & II paratroop assault weapons; Sturmgewehr 44 assault rifle.

This treatment offers all students of military history a new insight into the physical reality of world War II as experienced by the men in the front line.
