Here is the link to that apparent document: http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?p=1190847#p1190847
The discussion here may also be worth looking at, if you can't read German you can google translate.

I don't see how any game could have an MKB 42 but not an MG42 ....

The mkb42 is there to fill the gap of assault rifles, as for Mg's we've already heard that there is an Mg34. I don't see how you can compare them, its after all still a game and there will need to be a balance.
If they add the MG42 which i hope, then they'll probably add another Russian mg as well.

DT would be the only possibility as there were no other Soviet LMGs. Actually DT would be very nice indeed.

The Western Crusade in 1940 didn't feature it, so you'd say that a game about this part of ww2 is doomed to fail as there are no mg42s?

Oh but it would be a terrible shame if the MG42 were left out of this game. I mean, they existed in RO1! And of course they definitely existed in Stalingrad.

That doesnt necessarily mean there will be (or wont be) an mg42 in my opinion, i simply could imagine it being left out perhaps due to the fact its in basically every ww2 game, it would be nice if it is in the game though

Kinda iffy since the allmighty WIkipedia says that the "linoleum ripper" as the Soviets called it only started production in 1942 and only 17000 units were made in that year alone.
Looks like an MkB clone, in the sense that it COULD have made it to Stalingrad...
Official adoption date of the MG42 was Oct 12, 1943 but various prototypes were sent out beforehand JUST LIKE the MkB.
So lets say that this gun was in Stalingrad just so we can throw in another weapon
After doing some digging I found a website with a bunch of hardcore fanboys which said that this gun actually wasnt in Stalingrad,

Don't worry, I "know" how they will do it:
They will add the MG-42 as an unlockable weapon!
This way they will have Hitler's buzzsaw in the game without making them too common the battlefield.
Please note that this is an educated guess, nothing more.

It is still more likely that the MG42 made it to Stalingrad than the Mkb42. I wouldn't be surprised to see it in the game for the 'Elite Machinegunner' like Vonreuter mentioned.
