Erfurt LP-08's After 1914...?

Look at the production dates in correlation with the progress of the war, initially the war was fought with war material on hand, then they had to replace the losses from late 1915 and 1916. Also WWI was after 1915 an artillery and machine gun war, both types required the LP08. Then the rise in the requirement for the assault troops with Erma making the first MP (the 18.1) with approximately 30,000 being produced by the end of the war reduced the demand for LP08s.
