I am guessing so that the machine gunners would not have far to go to get to them, which might have been necessary at any time, and speed would have been an asset.
Yes, they did have machine guns in WW2
the machine guns
In World War Two, German defensive fortifications generally ran along the German border in the west. These included minefields, tank traps & bunkers. The bunkers were armed with machine guns and anti-tank weapons. The line was constructed to protect Germany from the Allies that were advancing through France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands. It was difficult to breech the Siegfried Line and impossible to bypass.
Germany had thirty to forty different weapons in World War I. Some of these were artillery, pistols, special weapons such as a flame thrower, machine guns and ships.
Answer One of the most poplar machine guns was the Maxim, which was named after its inventor.
They were placed so close to bunkers so when men looked out
So they can protect the important people in there

To defend the gunners against artillery barrages and to allow the crews a close place to shelter. The machine guns were usually positioned to cover the approaches to each other and the trench systems between the bunkers.

well bunkers are where the machine guns are placed(also know as mg42's)
So they can protect the important people in there
because the Nazis sat in the bunkers with heavy machine guns and mines in the field
Machine guns are often placed near bunkers to defend them, and to ensure that the said bunker isn't breached by enemy forces. Machine guns are capable of providing heavy fire that can stop large groups of enemy combatants in their tracks, and maintain dominance on the battlefield. They're also perfect for suppressing fire, which can pin down the enemy and stop their advance. For more information, please specify the war your question pertains to.
