WW2 German small arms and man portable anti-tank weapons
German Afrika Korps MG-34 machine gun nest in North Africa. The originally supplied pith helmets of 1941 were soon despised by the troops, who discarded them for steel helmets or field caps.
MG 34 - 7.92x57mm
The King Tiger was introduced in 1944, but it was still using the MG-34, whereas the MG-42 was already in common. So why wasn't the MG-42 used?
