Imagine if the standard issue rifle for the Wehrmacht was the G43 early war ‘41-‘43 before transitioning to the Stg44 mid-late war for the Heer, like heavily mass produced, including also the Fg42 to fully equip all of the Airborne divisions with. Imagine the amount of damage a regular squad of German soldiers could do.... *sigh* ever since that stupid madman got on that seat of power...... f*ck Wish Imperial Germany still existed... probably gonna get hate and called wehraboo for this comment LOL anyway Nice vid Vade keep it up love watching it ever since I found your channel for the immersiveness..
I can also not understand why the Wehrmacht didn't upgrade to semi-auto rifles earlier. I mean the rapid combined armed operations a.k.a. "Blitzkrieg" were a German invention. Why would you use a weapon that belongs to the WW1 trench warfare era in a fast paced modern war?!
@@freigeist2814 Manifold reasons: 1. The doctrine until the end of the war was that the LMG was to be the primary firepower of the rifle squad. 2. Serious limitations in gearing up for additional lines of manufacture. Actually the Wehrmacht was struggling with a lack of light arms all through the war. This also applies to the introduction of an additional ammo supply chain (shortened cartridge 7.92mm for Stg44). 3. Ideological hindrances in weapon design ("No we will not copy the communist SKS, NO!" and "Gas tapping inside the barrel is a no-go because reliability... lets chose the fragile muzzle tap design!")
Part of it was Hitler who thought that the bolt action Kar98 he used in WW1 was all that was ever needed. They had to call it the MP44 to keep Hitler from thinking it was a rifle. It took Eastern Front soldiers to convince Hitler that the MP44 (world's first assault rifle) was a good/worthwhile idea.
@@freigeist2814 Because of this thing called money and time. Also previous failures with experimental rifles (Paul Mauser lost an eye because of a semi automatic rifle and while allready dead at that poitn his accident was well remembered by the army) and the fact they thought their MG gives them a big enough advantage over whoever they were figthing that they didn't need the additional firepower,and to be fair they were right ,atleast untill the US showed up with every soldier carrying a semiautomatic rifle.

I'm far from being an expert, but wasn't the G43 unreliable and dangerous to use, compared to the G41?
