Question: The Sturmgewehr 52 was heavily patterned after which selective-fire automatic rifle produced in Nazi Germany during World War II?
Context: The Battle of Nuremberg was a five-day battle between the forces of the United States 7th Army on one side, and Nazi Germany and Russian Liberation Army volunteers on the other during World War II.  The battle saw some of the fiercest urban combat during the war and it took four days for the United States to capture the city.  The battle was a blow to Nazi Germany as Nuremberg was a center of the Nazi regime.  Many rallies took place in the city and to lose the city to the Americans took a heavy toll on already low German morale.  Even though American forces heavily outnumbered the German forces, it wasn't until 20 April, that the 7th Army took the city center.  The battle devastated the city. Catholic bishops in Nazi Germany differed in their responses to the rise of Nazi Germany, World War II, and the Holocaust during the years 1933–1945.  In the 1930s, the Episcopate of the Catholic Church of Germany comprised 6 Archbishops and 19 bishops while German Catholics comprised around one third of the population of Germany served by 20,000 priests.  In the lead up to the 1933 Nazi takeover, German Catholic leaders were outspoken in their criticism of Nazism.  Following the Nazi takeover, the Catholic Church sought an accord with the Government, was pressured to conform, and faced persecution.  The regime had flagrant disregard for the Reich concordat with the Holy See, and the episcopate had various disagreements with the Nazi government, but it never declared an official sanction of the various attempts to overthrow the Hitler regime.  Ian Kershaw wrote that the churches "engaged in a bitter war of attrition with the regime, receiving the demonstrative backing of millions of churchgoers.  Applause for Church leaders whenever they appeared in public, swollen attendances at events such as Corpus Christi Day processions, and packed church services were outward signs of the struggle of ... especially of the Catholic Church - against Nazi oppression".  While the Church ultimately failed to protect its youth organisations and schools, it did have some successes in mobilizing public opinion to alter government policies. The FG 42 (German: "Fallschirmjägergewehr" 42, "paratrooper rifle 42") is a selective-fire automatic rifle produced in Nazi Germany during World War II.  The weapon was developed specifically for the use of the Fallschirmjäger airborne infantry in 1942 and was used in very limited numbers until the end of the war. The Sturmgewehr 52 (STG-52) was a battle rifle manufactured by the government-owned W+F Bern of Switzerland.  It was chambered in the 7.5mm Kurzpatrone cartridge and later the 7.5mm Swiss service round as the Sturmgewehr 54, which was fed from the right-hand side.  The Sturmgewehr 52 was heavily patterned after the German FG 42 as it was fed from the side from a 30- or 40-round magazine and was also fitted with a muzzle attachment capable of launching rifle grenades. Kurt Wilhelm Albert Karl Agricola (15 August 1889 – 27 December 1955) was a general in the Wehrmacht of Nazi Germany during World War II who held senior level occupational rear-security commands in the occupied Soviet Union.  A native of Saxony, Agricola entered army service in 1908 and served during World War I.  During the interwar era, he held staff assignments and continued to rise through the army's ranks in the Wehrmacht of Nazi Germany.  His career ended stalled in January 1939, when he was sent into retirement on political grounds because of his marriage to Martha born Hahn, a Jewish woman.  Reactivated again upon the start of World War II, Agricola received exclusively positions behind the front line.  As rear area commander of the 2nd Army in the occupied Soviet union during 1941–43, Agricola brought changes in the Wehrmacht's harsh occupation policies and was successful in maintaining control of his area of occupied territory from Soviet partisans.  Shortly after the war's end, he was arrested by Soviet authorities, convicted of war crimes and remained in captivity for a decade.  One of the last German prisoners in the Soviet Union, he was released in October 1955 and died shortly thereafter in West Germany. The 7.92×33mm "Kurz (designated as the 7.92 x 33 kurz by the C.I.P.) is a rimless bottlenecked intermediate rifle cartridge developed in Nazi Germany prior to and during World War II.  The ammunition is also referred to as 7.9mm "Kurz ("German: "Kurz" " meaning "short"), 7.9 "Kurz", or 7.9mmK, or 8×33 Polte.  It was specifically intended for development of an automatic carbine (assault rifle).  The round was developed as a compromise between the longer 7.92×57mm rifle and the 9×19mm Parabellum pistol rounds, and is known as an intermediate cartridge (German: "Mittelpatrone" ). The Winchester Model 30 was an experimental self-loading rifle offered to the United States War Department as an alternative to the M1 Garand.  Winchester Repeating Arms modified the design to a selective fire Winchester Automatic Rifle after military field trials favored the Garand.  Development had not progressed beyond limited-production prototypes when official interest faded at the end of World War II. The Fedorov Avtomat (also anglicized as Federov, Russian: Автомат Фёдорова) (English: Federov Automatic Rifle) or FA was a select-fire rifle, designed by Vladimir Grigoryevich Fyodorov in 1915 and produced in the Russian Empire and later in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic.  A total of 3,200 Fedorov rifles were manufactured between 1915 and 1924 in the city of Kovrov; the vast majority of them were made after 1920.  The weapon saw combat in World War I, but was used more substantially in the Russian Civil War and in the Winter War. An assault rifle is a selective-fire rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine.  Assault rifles were first used during World War II.  Though Western nations were slow to accept the assault rifle concept, by the end of the 20th century they had become the standard weapon in most of the world's armies, replacing full-powered rifles and sub-machine guns in most roles.  Examples include the StG 44, AK-47 and the M16 rifle. The StG 44 (abbreviation of Sturmgewehr 44, "assault rifle 44") is a German selective-fire rifle developed during World War II.  It is also known under the designations MP 43 and MP 44 ("Maschinenpistole 43", "Maschinenpistole 44" respectively).
