520 $a"Nazi Germany's MP 38 and MP 40 submachine guns are among World War II's most recognizable weapons. Widely issued to airborne troops and tank crews owing to their portability and folding stocks, the MP 38 and MP 40 quickly became the signature weapons of Germany's infantry section and platoon leaders. Over 1 million were produced during World War II, many finding their way after 1945 into the hands of paramilitary and irregular forces, from the Middle East to Vietnam; the Norwegian armed forces continued to use them until the early 1990s, and examples and derivatives saw widespread use in the Yugoslav wars of that decade"--P.
