Ironically, this is exactly the level of lying that Hitler wrote about in Mein Kampf.
The 'Assault Rifle' as a concept in firearms was invented in Nazi Germany. The AR-15 has the same basic capabilities as the Nazis STG-44, but other than capabilities, the design has almost nothing in common with STG-44 other than that both of them have comical flippity floppity dust covers.
Saying the 'AR-15' was invented by the Nazis is just an INSANE reach from the reality of the situation, but there is that teeny weeny kernel of truth, no matter how irrelevant, for the liar and his allies to cling to.

You can argue that the assault rifle as a concept started with the Federov in Russia if you really stretched the definition.
The muskets made from dark-stained oak clearly are more dangerous than their lighter-dyed cousins.
And the French Ribeyrolles. But nobody kept the blueprints so it's lost to time.
And the AR-15 isn't even an assault rifle.
Not concepts, a propaganda name. A part of the brand.

The StG-43/44 was also known as an MP (Maschinepistole) and an MKb (Maschinekarabiner) in the previous names.
