Cool


I thought it was first used in Kharkov battle early 1943 but it seems it was used in 1942 in Russia and Africa already.

Does anyone have any precise date or the kind where and when the MG42 was first used?

This is actually a really good question, Kai. I've hunted through all my books and as yet, cannot find the answer.....
