I'm just a gun enthusiast...but,
in documentaries, I've heard that A. Hitler hated the new gun; that stamped
metal just didn't meet his Nazi-style manual criteria.
And the German army simply ignored his disapproval and
quietly kept on making some of them.

I agree. The MP43/MP44 and the 7.92mm Kurz cartridge are what really started the development of modern infantry rifles.
