The German Assault Rifle 1935-1945

From 1935 to the collapse of the Third Reich in 1945, German ordnance designers played a critical role in the development of the modern assault rifle. The German Assault Rifle is the only comprehensive volume on the German Assault rifles of this era, covering this generation of German infantry weapons where appearance gave way to the demands of optimum performance and mass production. A thorough presentation of the circumstances surrounding the development and fielding of the machine carbine, machine pistol and assault rifles employed by Hitler's Wehrmacht during WWII, this volume also includes a complete review of the ammo, field accessories and special equipment intended for the short cartridge weapon.
