*Warfare History Network* *Security, * Here is the history. *In either attack or defense, the German rifleman’s prime responsibility was to support the squad-operated machine gun. When the MG 42 crew moved, the riflemen covered them with fire. When the MG 42 set up, the riflemen dug foxholes for the machine gun crew while watching for the approach of enemy forces. When the MG 42 opened fire, several riflemen were detailed to carry ammunition to the gun.* The MG 42, possibly the best machine gun ever created, originated as a replacement for the German Army’s standard machine gun,... more »
