I believe from the accounts i have read, they respected the rifle greatly, while the average landser (German foot soldier) was armed with a 5 rd, bolt action rifle, dating back to the trenches of ww1, the American soldier had a 8 round, semi-automatic rifle that could lay down effective suppressive and accurate fire.

if you want to see it for yourself, attend a ww2 re-enactment/ public battle. you can see the difference for yourself.
