Always liked the MP40 ever since I watched 'Where Eagles Dare' when I was a young un'.
Maschinenpistole were carried by NCOs, Panzer crews, Pioneers and a host of others. The standard weapon of the Schutze was the K98. Later they used the G41/43 and in the Ardennes many were armed with the StG-44, mostly SS. They are an enjoyable weapon to fire. What a minute 3/27/05 I'm still brushing off the dust.
