History
The Sturmgewehr 44 (commonly abbreviated StG 44) is one of the most important small arms developments of the Second World War. Developed in Germany during 1942–1944 and put into production in late 1943/1944, the StG 44 originated from German experiments with intermediate-power cartridges and selective-fire infantry weapons. Its combination of controllable automatic fire, a short intermediate cartridge (7.92×33 Kurz), and a detachable box magazine made it the conceptual predecessor to modern assault rifles.
Designed by Hugo Schmeisser and colleagues at C.G. Haenel and produced by a handful of wartime contractors, the StG 44 saw service primarily on the Eastern Front and in limited numbers on the Western Front in 1944–45. Its battlefield role was to give infantry squads a weapon capable of both accurate short-to-medium range semi-automatic fire and effective close-quarters automatic suppression — a radical shift from the bolt-action rifles and submachine-guns that had dominated earlier years of the war.
