Mikhail Timofeevich Kalashnikov was inspired by his experiences in the battles of WWII. Being a soldier and seeing the fighting firsthand gave him a pretty good idea of what was needed. He worked out the basic design of the rifle while recovering in a hospital after being wounded.
In terms of design details the concept and the ergonomics may have been influenced by the German StG44 rifle. However, the AK internal workings are nothing like the Sturmgewehr. Some of the technical solutions employed are somewhat close to designs of John M. Browning and John C. Garand, but far from being direct copies.
