Poland
Game aside, I find it funny how OP claims soviets produced smgs becouse they were easier to train soldiers for. Smgs being much harder to control and score a hit than rifles were actually the reason why soviets dumped all of their smg programmes before losing a war to finland. Only then, they decided that one of the main reasons for the loss was superior infantry tactic of their opponent, who deployed single smg to every infantry squad. That smg was given to squad leader, who was the most experienced and best trained soldier, that could control the gun in close combat and could lead the charge of his men. Similarly, existance of shock troops as separate units was coused by the fact they needed longer training. Typical frontline troops did indeed get smgs as well, but only later in the war when soviets could train all the soldiers a little better then in the early years. In fact, a badly trained soldier with smg will soon be defenceless shooting all his ammo off. That is why they gave them rifles that shoot slower and need manual reloading.
Obviously, the game is dated around 43-44 in the eastern front so in this case having some soldiers with smg and some with rifles makes sense historically. But it is definitely not becouse smgs need less training.
