A lot of soldiers picked up weapons that they felt superior to their US counterpart.
The US in WW2 didnt have an assault rifle. So even if it was shitty in the grand scheme of things, it was still new technology that was exciting to the folks on the front.
My issue would've been the lack of ammo availability. You'd literally have to kill a german with a Stur44 to keep shooting. Doesnt seem like a good philosophy to me.
ETA - A 44 is not comparable to a Tommy gun or Greaser. Much better accuracy and longer range capability.
