The MP-40 machine gun: an emblematic weapon of the Wehrmacht

The MP-40 submachine gun, designed by Erma Werke in Germany, became one of the iconic weapons of the Second World War. Chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum and equipped with a 32-round magazine, it had a rate of fire of around 500 rounds a minute. Easy to produce thanks to its extensive use of pressed sheet metal parts, the MP-40 was an invaluable tool for German troops, particularly non-commissioned officers and mechanised units.

Light and compact, with a folding metal stock, it was particularly suited to close combat in urban areas or confined environments. Although the MP-40 was not as widespread as rifles such as the K98, it made a lasting impression with its distinctive appearance and combat effectiveness. Used on all fronts, from Stalingrad to North Africa, this submachine gun symbolised the innovation and modern tactics of the Wehrmacht.
