De hecho Adolf Hitler estuvo interfiriendo con el desarrollo del arma hasta que el OKW sin informarle lanzo a las tropas atrapadas en una bolsa en el frente ruso una partida de estos fusiles de asalto y con ese aumento del poder de fuego pudieron enlazar con el resto del Ejercito aleman, a partir de ahi apoyo al fusil pero ya era tarde para que pudiese ser distribuido a gran escala.
Bueno, otro mito, lo que pasa que A.H estimaba mucho las experiencias de la ww1, y veia que el 7,92 K tenia muy poco alcance, igualmente el nombre Sturmgewehr se lo puso el.
On 6 April 1944, Adolf Hitler issued the following decree:
a) The former MG42 is to retain the same designation
b) The former self-loading rifle, known as the Gewehr 43, shall receive the designation Karabiner 43 (K43).
c) The former new MP, known as the MP43, shall receive the designation MP44.
In July 1944 at a meeting of the various army heads about the Eastern Front, when Hitler asked what they needed, a general blurted out
"More of these new rifles!" This caused some confusion, but once Hitler was given a chance to test fire the MP44,
he was impressed and gave it the title Sturmgewehr. Seeing the possibility of a propaganda gain, the rifle was again renamed as the StG44, to highlight the new class of weapon it represented, translated "assault rifle, model 1944", thereby introducing the term.
