Dundee Pew: GRN| vs BAF| (Poll for next pew)

[Fluffyball]

Germany didn't use captured and coerced foreigners to control such key territory (particularly because they wouldn't be that trusted).

You are very wrong on this one.

Germans used Ukrainians, Russians, some other minorities (those opressed by USSR). There were even whole divisions completly made from "volounteering nations", like Sweden, former Czechoslovakia (then: Slovakia and occupied Czech), Norway, Croatians, Netherlands (!) or even UK or France (!!). Not to mention Romanian, Hungarian, Polish (!) ones. I've even read about a special division entirely made of such nation as Mongols, Siberians, Russian Chinese (who defected after capture onto German Side). Japanese on the other hand used a lot of minor nations (Han Chinese, Manchu, Koreans, Taiwanese - not current Taiwan Chinese! - Malay and some other) to fill their ranks.

About the capturing stuff: Germany during WW2 widely used the USSR made tanks and weaponry, because it was way more reliable than German ones at some points. During the Vietnam War US made some squads using AK-47, because their "new" guns were very... unlikely to be used in such climate. USA dropped that idea because of very common friendly fire in the jungle (AK-47 makes very distingiushable rattle).
