In order to keep things sane, we're going to assume that by this point in the war, the WA has adopted standard pattern vehicles and weaponry throughout the ranks (would seem sensible practice to ensure supply situation is as ordered as possible), but I'm looking for ideas to give WA forces their own national identity.
The main forces are:
The US
Germany/ Austria
France
Italy
Greece
Belgium
Holland
Switzerland
Turkey
Looking for unique units or doctrines (a la 40k IG regiments), but nothing too esoteric, these need to be basically variations on a theme eg predominance of sipers amongst Swiss, camoflauge alipini/carabinieri Italian troops, German antitank sniper teams, French artillery support etc.
Ideas please! :-)

JM,
You might want to add the Israelis to the WA list, though I don't specifically have any thoughts on specialization(s).

Hi- the Israelis are a moot point. Because in the A:E timeline the Nazis never came to power and there was no Holocaust, the state of Israel was never brought into being.
However, I'm open to ideas on how they could be brought in to the fluff- any suggestions?

How to get israelis into the fluff is definitely a good question - making them part of the WA might be even harder. Again, we could do things the 'history with a twist way' - assume the region of palestine having been made into a Commonwealth colony, some Jewish guy invents something that the Commonwealth really needs, and thereby allows the Commonwealth grants the Jews their own colony in the Palestine.
The thing invented could have something to do with the Imperial Japanese gaining an advantage over the Commonwealth in Naval Combat, and the invention thus allows the commonwealth to regain the advantage.
Sorry, can't brain today.

Nice to have you back with us ;-)
What I'm thinking is if we can work a Jewish faction into the "second-phase" (i.e. post-Barbarossa) section of the war fluff, where the Soviet Empire and the WA invade the Middle East to secure oil supplies (thus forming the Jihad Pact). Problem is, everything I've come up with so far smacks of "Zionist conspiracy theories", and I don't want to start propagating that kind of thing, I don't want to start anything anti-Semitic even though this is all fictional
