Having 7.92 x 57mm rounds coming at you in a barrage of fire, must have been more than just terrifying. I don't know how these lads got themselves to leave those amphibian vessels in the first place. I would probably have frozen and got shot by at least a few 7.92 x 57 rounds. Death would have occurred practically instantly.

[@karlheinzvonkroemann2217]

My Father made four landings in the Central Pacific in WW2 (all "in assault" or fist wave.) I asked him what it felt like to be under MG, mortar, artillery fire while approaching the beach. The firing on you starts way further out than you would think. Everybody is scared, everybody. Landing craft get hit and sunk, even LSTs (Landing Ship Tank) and DD's (Destroyers) get popped. You're being fired at by artillery that's been pre-sighted to the beaches as were their mortars too. The Japanese had a lot of self-supporting MG's too, not as fast firing as the MG42 but just as deadly. On the way in ships do get hit. DD's will come will come in close to lend fire support too, thus making themselves more vulnerable to enemy shore batteries. The enemy had had 3" and/or 5" (inch) shore batteries that could reach out and sink both LST's and DD's more than a mile out at sea. Neither of those ship types have any armor protection. You just pray your's isn't one that get's hit. You can't swim back to Hawaii or San Diego so what are gonna do? It's one thing at a time. Hope your landing craft doen't get hit on the way in to the beach after it leaves the LST. Then get out of your landing craft as close to the beach as possible. Anytime you disembark into the water though there's a chance you could do so into an underwater shell hole or crater and being so weighed down with equipment and lead ammunition you just sink to the bottom. That was a worry. The closer the landing craft get to shore and start unloading the troops the more the enemy equivilant to our Browning 1919 .30 cal qqMGs, 105mm and 155mm Howitzers increase their fire on those presighted beaches then packed with unloading infantry. The Germans and Japaese both used this same tactic. Then there's finding cover, all while under the same heavy fire. It sounded nasty to me when I first heard what it was like and it doesn't sound any better or easier now. I guess when you're a 19 year Marine or soldier (in the case of Normandy and other European invasion spots) you just put your head down and try to keep moving foward, while listening for orders (of course), the first 15 mins of saving Private Ryan were what I would imagine seeing on Omaha Beach.

[@caseyclark5392]

[@davideskerlot2945]

To the Japanese weapons, yes this is true. American propaganda is guilty of lying about Japanese weaponry effectiveness. But To the German MG42? No. I have never seen WW2 propaganda stating the MG42 of being “not as effective”. I’ve seen WW2 videos clearly explaining the high rate of fire, and psychological effects it has against American soldiers, when fired upon. The video demonstrated possible ways to take out an MG42 gunner position, but never states this weapon is “ineffective”. It clearly states how devastating and powerful the Hitler buzz saw is. Americans were clearly aware of how powerful German weapons and engineering were at the time. So I’m sorry, I don’t buy this argument. The Japanese were a different story. Americans were extremely biased against them because of Pearl Harbor. So it was normal for them to down play anything the Japanese had. However, to be fair, there is SOME truth to this bias, but not because of what you may think. The Japanese had effective weapons, but they lacked natural resources in their mainland nation. And as the Japanese kept loosing resources and supplies, (after their navy was destroyed and their factories bombed continuously), the quality of their weapons and equipment lowered throughout the years, based on these factors.

There was a book written by the one combat veteran with experience operating the MG 42, on Omaha beach I believe. The writer claims the other gunners were inexperienced and abandoned their positions early in the battle while he focused on the landing craft when the doors dropped. He claims to have killed at least five thousand men himself. Probably true considering. Can't be disproven either. "They just kept sending more" He had plenty of barrel swaps, an assist gunner and a spare MG 42 to switch to in the bunker to keep the other from melting despite the barrel swaps. Quite the fish story but it was probably true.

In the reality, machine gunners have fired very rarely a complete belt "in one go" - the barrel gets overheated dramatically and gets just destroyed. Short bursts of 5 to 10 rounds were common. I have heard from German veterans that in 1944-1945 it was even prohibited for them to fire long bursts out of MG-42 because ammo was not enough - the production rates could not keep up with the needs of the front troops.

The German soldiers gave the MG 42 nicknames such as “Hitler saw”, “Singing saw” or “Bone saw”. The term “Hitler scythe” is also often found, which arises from the similarities between the shooting technique used by the machine gunners and the swinging movement of the harvesting tool when it is used. Furthermore, the term “Hitler violin” also circulated based on the “Stalin organ”. The term “Hitler's Buzzsaw” for the MG 42 is still known today among the American population. (Wikipedia)

There were more than five MG 42s at Omaha Beach. The 15 resistance nests there contained some 85 machine guns, not all operational. Some were MG 34s and water cooled Polish machine guns. Of course there were also mortars and artillery on those 6000 meters of Hell.

The MG 42 was introduced widely only in 1942... Hence the '42. All those countries were defeated 2 years prior.

[@ukasz-zm9qc]

Kid, what nonsense are you writing? Have you made up your mind that it was only thanks to a rapid-firing machine gun (which, by the way, did not exist in 1940) that they captured all this? A whole host of factors contributed to this. So you should keep asking yourself this question, because shredding a dummy with seven MGs won't explain it to you (LOL).

the MG 42 was basically the same beast as the earlier MG 34 and didn’t offer much of an improvement in performance, it relied on cheaper materials and simpler manufacturing methods to speed up production.

[@richardkudrna7503]

Another idea, but harder to set up, in the army we had training films showing how to set up an MG for indirect ambush. At say 2 or 4 km you would mount a high angle and zero to land in BC a terrain pinch point. So when enemy is spotted you open fire and the bullets start landing all over the place . Low in energy but lethal. The films showed balloons on sticks and bullets scattering over say a 15 meter circle with MG tight on the pintle mount. The fast mg 42 much better at this.
