those are the layouts made by those who sit in offices, you may find that on the ground it was very much for the soviets what ever they had ammo for, americans what ever they could replace when what they had was damaged, but the germans kept mostly to the table or organization

source? cause i havent seen any source mentioning anything about zh29 or zh32 being used by germans. they were never mass produced and i have only seen weapon orders for china and ethiopia with trial rifles sent to several other countries. lithuania had some for its police force but idk if it was prewar or captured postwar weapons.
some sources quote ~600 made while others say that it was higher cause of orders to different countries. i havent found any source that claims exact number produced with 100% certainty.
i know that situation in field was different then theoretical squads. but it wasnt completely different. soldiers use most effective weapons they can get their hands on and for which they have ammo for.
Summarizing Issues and Suggestions Since the Merge
Please take a look here; I’ve spent a lot of time explaining it in great detail.
Personally never seen any picture / document but could be, for example wiking had kp-31’s.
If i recall something something prevented foreigners to join wehrmacht so SS was the place to go and due to that there was quite variety in weapons.
I think germany put captured weapons back in use in somewhat large scale.
officially ussr for example didnt really do this with small arms prob due to logistic issues.
Inviduals most likely could & would carry what ever.
I just uninstalled. This udate killed it for me
