Say that main merit in the invention of AK belongs to the Germans - like saying that the U.S. missile program appeared only because of a German scientists.
At that time the Soviet Union had several projects of a new automatic rifle. But they chose project of yuong Kalashnikov. Read about it .In internet fully truthful information and not fictional made by enemies to defame the name of the great Russian gunsmith.

Okay. I gave a bad example. Here is another. Say that Kalashnikov din not create AK - all the same as saying that the twin towers were destroyed, not by terrorists, and by the U.S. government itself. This conspiracy theory. It has no relationship to reality. And you can easily make sure of this, if you look for the real sources of information, not conspiracy.

What's the difference what he was doing? Was a prisoner, like thousands of other Nazis. Once again - I do not want to argue with someone who believes in conspiracy theories. This is pointless.
Russian capable of creating genius weapons without any German prisoners.

He was a prisoner. All those germans were taken into USSR after WW2. Here is some information from Wiki about him
"From the "characteristics" of foreign experts at the Department of the chief designer of the plant number 74 (Izhevsk, 1949) [1]:
Hugo Schmeisser Rihord Max. Technical education has not. In the course of its work on the project has shown himself as a practitioner constructor. From any engineering development refuses, citing the lack of special education and inability to independently design. Works on any plant used it can not be."

I can tell you that the German prisoners who are willing to work in the West - with the Soviet Union flatly refused to cooperate.
