The first one manufactured in Germany was the Maxim Model 08, which they had to licence from the British, and which was designed by an American. After the war, "German" machine guns get a bit iffy... the Treaty of Versailles prevented Germany from developing military arms, so, as a loophole, they did their military development outside of Germany, in countries such as Sweden and the Soviet Union.
The Stermgewehr. Also known as the Mp44, Mp43, and the stg-44
the German machine gun was the MG 34 and MG42
the MP-38 and MP-40 was the sub-machine gun
The aircraft mounted machine gun was at first simply a ground machine mounted for a gunner to fire. All sides in WW1 used it. The first successful machine gun fired by a pilot was the Lewis machine gun on a special mounting attached to the top wing, allowing the gun to fire over the propellor.
He was born in the US in 1840.
