Is there a difference between the two
I don't know if this is true but I watched one documentary on the MG42 and it was said that one Machine Gun nest on omaha beach killed over 1000 pf the american soldiers there, if that isn't them just trying to kill as many as possible I don't know what is.

But I do not know what they would have thought, there commanders wouldn't really have told them much of the overall position of the German war or how it is going due to moral problems and plain propaganda issues.
