Albums MG 42 (Maschinengewehr 42)
Two MG 42 crews in action. Soldier who served as a substitute in the right bipod retaining aka MG 42 fixed in place by using his right hand, while his own MG 42 has a grip plate that can be folded early type
MG 42 represents the pinnacle in terms of the ability of German infantry firepower. He became the scourge of the Allied forces and feared by those who deal with it. Photo of a machine gunner on top of Heer showed he was carrying his favorite weapon. In the back pocket of his pants sticking digging equipment with an unusual cover (made in Austria?). He was also carrying a bag of equipment in addition to the M42 Stahlhelm draped at the waist
