I wasn't there, but I reckon the STG-44 was used extensively in full-auto mode for both covering fire and clearing rooms.

Not according to the records of both the allied and axis soldiers who were there.

Do you have sources for that? I know they were instructed to use primarily semi-auto, due to ammunition supply issues, but I can't find anything about what they actually did in said circumstances.

I dont have them immediately on hand and I don't care enough to dig them up for you.

You could just say you don't have them, it's fine. As far as I'm aware, they're basically nonexistent anyway, hence my conjecture.
