A soldier fires an MG-34 on the outskirts of Stalingrad amid a
workers' housing area. On the edge of his position is a 7.92mm Mauser
Kar.98k carbine, the standard Wehrmacht shoulder weapon. The Landser
referred to it variously as a Gewehr (rifle, even though it was a
carbine), Mauser bochse (bochse container, but also an old term for a
firearm), Mauser Karabiner, Flint (colloquialism for shotgun) , or
Knarre (colloquial ism for rifle). He also possesses a 7.62mm PPSh-41
soviet submachine gun.
