Based on the first real machine gun, the American-British Maxim, Germany used the self-developed, water-cooled MG 08 or 08/15 in the First World War. In the Second World War, the MG 34 abolished the difference between light and heavy machine guns. The air-cooled MG 42 eliminated some serious disadvantages of its predecessor and was even used after the war because of its maturity under a new name. Alexander Losert describes all the important German-made machine guns that were developed and used until the end of the Second World War.
