      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.

He told me that in 1943 he switched to MG-42 - there were enough captured MGs, spare parts for them and ammo. He just loved MG-42: easy to change the overheated barrels, good ammo belts, great firepower, light enough to carry in the hands...

      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.

      My dad was a Bren Gunner with the Scots Guards in NE Italy (he mentioned the Comacchio Marshes) in 1944-45 and didn't talk about the reality of his wartime experiences until late in his life. He spoke about crossing an open space when his best pal was 'almost cut in half' by what I think he called a Spandau, which I expect would have been an MG42.

I was the dedicated deputy of our tank commander therefore responsible for the heavy support weaponry, Panzerfaust and Maschinengewehr 3. I prefered my G3 Sturmgewehr, same caliber yet more of a scalpel instead of a sledgehammer BUT as a defensive weapon the MG3's distinguitive sound has a very impressive ability to instantly supress all enemy infanty movement

    Wish i could experience the 1500rpm original Maschinengewehr-42 just once, the spring in the MG-3 is a weaker one which makes the difference they said. Plus NATO-Caliber is .3mm smaller and 6mm shorter.

It just mowed everything down so there was no need to send in troops to root the snipers out. The Nazis were terrified of the M2 .50BMG. Thanks for sharing the MG-42. My dad and his squad was pinned down in a beet field for three days by just one MG42. They withdrew on the third day and most were killed but my dad survived by the Grace of God.

      We were both wrong according to American Heritage since even Dole himself did not know what it was that hit him. "Bob Dole and the Nazis’ Brutal Last Stand in Italy"; Edwin S. Grosvenor Summer 2022 Volume 67 Issue 3
      Dole led his men on night patrols to watch for enemy incursions and to capture Germans for interrogation. On the night of March 18, he was badly wounded when a tossed grenade hit a tree, bounced back, and exploded nearby. “I saw a blast and felt a searing - hot pain in my leg, ripping my flesh open,” Dole recalled. “It was just a surface wound from the grenade fragments, but it hurt like crazy.”
      “I felt a sting, as something hot, something terribly powerful crashed into my upper back behind my right shoulder,” Dole later recalled. “I’d often been hit in the back by a hard-charging linebacker when I’d caught a football in high school or college. Occasionally, I’d been thrown to the ground and stomped on by a couple of college linemen after making a catch. But nothing in my life ever hurt like the shock that seared through my shoulder just then. My body responded before my brain had time to process what was happening. As the mortar round, exploding shell, or machine gun blast - whatever it was, I’ll never know - ripped into my body, I recoiled, lifted off the ground a bit, twisted in the air, and fell face-down in the dirt.”

    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)

    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.

    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.

    Das MG ist das tödliches welches ich kenne , ich habe das MG 3 also den Nachfolger bei der Bundeswehr als MGschütze gehabt und das war gebremst und genauso tödlich , das MG 42 und Vorgänger hießen damals nicht umsonst Kreissäge oder Fleischwolf .😉 Aber schön das Ihr die Legende der Waffe aufrecht erhaltet .Danke fürs Video.
    Translation :
    The MG is the most deadly one I know, I had the MG 3 as the successor in the Bundeswehr as a machine gunner and it was braked and just as deadly, the MG 42 and its predecessor were not called Back then, it was not for nothing that we had a circular saw or a meat grinder
