"On the defensive, MG 42s were shifted back and forth between different positions to confuse the enemy. The Germans called this tactic Stelungswechsel (change of position) and was a vital part of their overall machine gun doctrine."
No reason , they were not under fire , I just moved them 20 meters ..... sorry , we lost the important machine gun .
Is this supposed to represent battlefield attrition ? It happens very regularly .
