The Gerat Potsdam, a Mauser-produced German copy of the British Sten Mark II, was developed in late 1944. It featured a folded metal construction for its magazine well and barrel shroud, differing from the seamless British design. While functionally identical, these manufacturing differences were intended to speed up production for units like Skorzeny's commandos and the Volkssturm.
The MP 3008, or Gerät Neumünster, was a desperate 'last-ditch' German submachine gun designed for rapid, low-cost production during the final stages of WWII. It's a simplified copy of the British Sten gun, modified to accept standard MP40 magazines and featuring crude construction due to extreme material and time constraints. Production was decentralized, leading to variations in finish and markings, with this example bearing the 'TKK' code.
