When Germany entered the war in 1914 each infantry regiment had three machine gun companies
of hand pick troops, thoroughly trained in the operation of the sled mounted '08 Maxim. Each
company had six guns crewed by 1 Company commander, 3 2nd Lts. and 133 other personnel
(including support personnel). By 1917 the number of guns per company had risen to 12.
