Pretty good bit of thinking by the Imperial German Army really, especially in an age when automatic weapons were large crew served weapons used mostly in the defense. Of course if they had been really thinking outside of the (Prussian) box, they might have licensed production of the Madsen before WW I. Units equipped with these might not have been stopped at the Meuse. Any information on what became of these units?
