New squad

I propose to introduce a new squad ((premium or marathon) decide for yourself) with a Lewis machine gun, for Germany as a trophy weapon.

historical note:

In Germany the trophy machine guns were used under the designation MG 137 (e). In the autumn of 1944, when the Volkssturm battalions were formed in Germany, 2,891 6.5mm Lewis M1920 machine guns were transferred from the arsenals of occupied Holland to arm them.

for that reason alone, it’s a yes for me.

…but…

at the same time, i think the :uk: :teapot: enjoyers them selves should get it first.

due to… being theirs.

opposed as the already present ussr lewis squad or a possibly german addition.

… they could add the lewis for germany as gold order weapons similar to the BAR though.
but still.
a bit ironic that everyone gets one but British forces themselves

Yes, the British have one: marathon paratroopers with machine guns (they have Aviation Lewis).

It’s a Vickers Gas Operated machine gun, different from the Iconic Lewis gun of WW 1.
