I am new to the Mg42 world and was wondering how to correctly load the belts in to the German cans I have been looking around the net and haven't found anything that show how to load them.

Looking at the side of the can, with the latch to the left, 2 belts get loaded first, with the bullets pointing toward you, then 3 belts get loaded on top of that, with the bullets pointing away from you.
This information is contained in several of the MG34 and MG42 manuals I've translated.
