The German Maschinengewehr 42, or MG42, was one of the best machine-guns of the war, both in combat and in ease of production. It set the standard for machine-guns in the years that followed, and as such was the most important machine-gun of the war.
Recoil-operated and air-cooled, it was light enough to be portable while powerful enough to be deadly. At 900 rounds per minute, its rate of fire was unmatched when it came into service.
The MG34 was developed during the 1920s when Germany was quietly finding ways to circumvent the Treaty of Versailles and rebuild its armed forces. Hitler’s repudiation of the treaty in 1936 opened the way for the gun to be widely distributed. It was taken to Spain by German forces supporting Franco’s coalition during the Spanish Civil War, where it was field tested, and troops gained experience using it.
The MG34 provided the firepower, maneuverability, and reliability that the German army wanted from a machine-gun.
