Nazi weapon mistakenly depicted on AK-47 inventor's statue
The base of a statue of AK-47 assault rifle inventor Mikhail Kalashnikov has been found to mistakenly depict a rifle used by Nazis during World War Two. The depiction of the StG 44 rifle, created by Hugo Schmeisser five years before AK-47, has been removed from the base depicting Kalashnikov's inventions. The rifles have been compared due to their similarities.
