Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DEUTSCHE MASCHINENGEWEHRE 1900 – 1945 Ein Maschinengewehr (kurz MG) ist eine vollautomatische Schusswaffe für das Verschießen von Gewehrmunition. Maschinengewehre feuern bei Betätigung des Abzugs so lange Projektile ab, bis der Abzug wieder gelöst, die Munitionszufuhr unterbrochen wird oder eine Störung auftritt. Der Mechanismus des automatischen Ladens wird entweder durch den Gasdruck der sich entspannenden Pulvergase, durch die Rückstoßkraft oder durch einen externen Antrieb wie zum Beispiel einen Elektromotor betätigt. In diesem Buch stelle ich die deutschen Maschinengewehre von den Anfängen im Kaiserreich bis zu den Waffen, die in der deutschen Wehrmacht bis 1945 in Gebrauch waren vor. Insbesondere werden die Baureihen 08 und 08/15, sowie das MG 34 und das MG 42 detaillierter beschrieben. Zeitgenössische Bilder ergänzen dieses Werk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War I's defining weapon for many, Germany's MG 08 machine gun won a formidable reputation on battlefields from Tannenberg to the Somme. Although it was a lethally effective weapon when used from static positions, the MG 08 was far too heavy to perform a mobile role on the battlefield. As the British and French began to deploy lighter machine guns alongside their heavier weapons, the Germans fielded the Danish Madsen and British Lewis as stopgaps, but chose to adapt the MG 08 into a compromise weapon – the MG 08/15 – which would play a central role in the revolutionary developments in infantry tactics that characterized the last months of the conflict. In the 1940s, the two weapons were still in service with German forces fighting in a new world war. Drawing upon eyewitness battlefield reports, this absorbing study assesses the technical performance and combat record of these redoubtable and influential German machine guns, and their strengths and limitations in a variety of battlefield roles.

Download or read book The German MG 34 and MG 42 Machine Guns written by Luc Guillou and published by Schiffer Military History. This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German MG (Maschinengewehr) 34, along with the later-war MG 42, was a recoil-operated, air-cooled machine gun and is considered the world's first general-purpose machine gun. Considered the most advanced machine gun in the world at the time, its ease of mobility and high rate of fire--900 rounds per minute--made it ideal both for infantry and antiaircraft use. First entering service during the Spanish Civil War in 1936, it remained in Wehrmacht service through the end of WWII in 1945, along with its updated model, the MG 42. This illustrated book presents the design, manufacturing, and development both of the MG 34 and MG 42, from its acceptance by the German military through production and combat use from 1936 to 1945. Details include close-up views of markings and other details, as well as a breakdown of the weapon. Accessories such as ammunition and gun mounts are featured throughout the book, as are rarely seen combat-related uniform and equipment items.

Download or read book German Machine Guns in the Second World War written by Hans Seidler and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2013-07-03 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: German Machine Guns of the Second World War is a highly illustrated record of the German war machine between 1939 – 1945. Many of the photographs, all from the authors collection, come originally from the albums of individuals who took part in the war.??Arranged by theatre chronologically, the book analyses the development of the machine gun and describes how the Germans carefully utilised weapons such as the MG34 and the much vaunted MG42 into both offensive and defensive roles. Supported by a host of other machine guns like the MP28, MP38/40 and the lethal Sturmgerher 44, it depicts how these formidable machine guns fought against an ever increasing enemy threat.??Using over 250 rare and unpublished photographs together with detailed captions and accompanying text, this book provides a unique insight into German weaponry from early Blitzkrieg campaigns to the final demise of the Nazi empire.

Download or read book MG 34 and MG 42 Machine Guns written by Chris McNab and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-10-20 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the MG 34, the German Wehrmacht introduced an entirely new concept in automatic firepower – the general-purpose machine gun (GPMG). In itself the MG 34 was an excellent weapon: an air-cooled, recoil-operated machine gun that could deliver killing firepower at ranges of more than 1,000m. Yet simply by changing its mount and feed mechanism, the operator could radically transform its function. On its standard bipod it was a light machine gun, ideal for infantry assaults; on a tripod it could serve as a sustained-fire medium machine gun. During World War II, the MG 34 was superseded by a new GPMG – the MG 42. More efficient to manufacture and more robust, it had a blistering 1,200rpm rate of fire. Nicknamed 'Hitler's buzzsaw' by Allied troops, it was arguably the finest all-round GPMG ever produced, and alongside the MG 34 it inflicted heavy casualties. Featuring specially commissioned full-colour artwork and drawing upon numerous technical manuals and first-hand accounts, this study explores the technological development, varied roles and lasting influence of the revolutionary MG 34 and MG 42 machine guns and their postwar successors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nazi Germany's MP 38 and MP 40 submachine guns are among World War II's most recognizable weapons. Portable and with folding stocks, both were widely issued to airborne troops and became the hallmark of Germany's infantry section and platoon leaders. A million were produced during the conflict – and many found their ways into the hands of paramilitary and irregular forces from Israel to Vietnam after the war. Featuring specially commissioned full-color artwork and period and close-up photographs, this is the story of the origins, combat use, and lasting influence of two of World War II's most famous firearms.

Book excerpt: Die Artillerie gestaltet das Schlachtfeld ? Maschinengewehre verteidigen es!? Dieser Satz kennzeichnet die Materialschlachten des Ersten Weltkrieges wie kaum ein zweiter. Die waffentechnischen Umwälzungen gegen Ende des 19. und zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts mündeten nach Kriegsausbruch 1914 in eine industrialisierte Kriegführung, die besonders durch den Einsatz von Maschinengewehren ? neben der Artillerie ? geprägt wurde. Dieser Bildband mit 520 Buchseiten sowie rund 1000 Fotos und Abbildungen zeichnet diese Entwicklung der deutschen Maschinengewehre nach und vermittelt anschaulich, warum sie zur gefürchtetsten Infanteriewaffe des Ersten Weltkrieges wurden.0Gelang es einem angegriffenen Truppenteil, das Trommelfeuer des Angreifers zu überstehen und seine eigenen Maschinengewehre mit Beginn des Infanterieangriffs rechtzeitig in Stellung zu bringen, so war mit Sicherheit davon auszugehen, dass der feindliche Angriff blutig scheitern würde. Mit allen Mitteln wurde daher versucht, die gegnerischen Maschinengewehre außer Gefecht zu setzen. Der richtige Einsatz von MGs konnte Gefechte entscheiden, konnte einem zahlenmäßig unterlegenen Verteidiger die nötige Feuerüberlegenheit geben, um sich gegen Angriffe erfolgreich zu verteidigen.0Gerade für die deutsche Armee an der Westfront ersetzte die Feuerkraft der Maschinengewehre die ständig abnehmende Personalstärke der Infanterie-Regimenter. Der Maschinengewehrschütze wurde im Gegensatz zum Gewehrträger zum eigentlichen Träger des Infanteriegefechtes. Umso stärker machte sich die 1915 einsetzende Maschinengewehrkrise mit der Unfähigkeit der deutschen Waffenhersteller bemerkbar, Maschinengewehre in ausreichenden Stückzahlen zu produzieren, um den Bedarf der Truppe zu decken. Erst die durch Prof. Romberg erarbeiteten neuen Produktionsverfahren und die Einführung von Normierungen führten mit der Produktion des MGs 08/15 zu einer Verzehnfachung der monatlichen Produktionsziffern.0.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the end of the first week of November 1942, the German Sixth Army held about 90 per cent of Stalingrad. Yet the Soviets stubbornly held on to the remaining parts of the city, and German casualties started to reach catastrophic levels. In an attempt to break the deadlock, Hitler decided to send additional German pioneer battalions to act as an urban warfare spearhead. These combat engineers were skilled in all aspects of city fighting, especially in the use of demolitions and small arms to overcome defended positions and in the destruction of armoured vehicles. Facing them were hardened Soviet troops who had perfected the use of urban camouflage, concealed and interlocking firing positions, close quarters battle, and sniper support. This fully illustrated book explores the tactics and effectiveness of these opposing troops during this period, focusing particularly on the brutal close-quarters fight over the Krasnaya Barrikady (Red Barricades) ordnance factory.
