This video presents the Walther VG-1, a fascinating example of a German World War II 'last-ditch' rifle designed for extreme simplicity and cost reduction. The specific rifle featured was a presentation model with an inlaid plaque, dedicated to Arthur Grieser, a Volkssturm leader convicted of war crimes. The VG-1 is highlighted as a testament to how much can be omitted from a firearm while still maintaining functionality, a design philosophy distinct from other wartime simplification efforts.
