As for vehicles and stuff, it might look a lot IRL Bundeswehr. Possibly with a lot of unnecessary complexity and gigantism depending on how much sense the post-war military retains.

>>30174478

The StG 44 would have likely stayed in use with upgrades and enhancements for a long while and would have been replaced with something like the G3 or HK33 in the 1960s.

Projects like the Maus and Ratte would have been scraped like the T-28 in the US. The E series tanks would have likely seen service or the Panther II until an MBT like the Leopard showed up. Tank Destroyers would have likely been phased out in the 60s like they did in the USSR.

Aircraft would probably shadow the US's development timeline with flying wings being pushed into service.

Splinter camo would likely be the Heer and Waffen SS's combat uniform as it was successful post war in our timeline with the Swiss and Nordic states.

The Stahlhelm would have stayed in service and would likely have a successor mimicking the PASGT or ACH.

Expect an interest in weaponizing space with orbital platforms.

Oh yeah and the MG42 would be around like it is today in real life.
>>
>>30174478
probably the exact same as today, but using some roughly .22 caliber neck down of 7.92x33 rather than 5.56.

People act like there's no continuity between imperial, Nazi and post-war germany, but suprise: they're the same people under a different flag.

Look at the HK G3, it's 7.92x33 prototype, and the StG 45. Their shit would have evolved likewise, but accomodating German directives rather than bowing to the US.

So, imagine the HK33 in something like 5.5x33mm, and that being the evolution of the current G36.

Everything else would be similar -- the major differences would be in strategic warfare. I.e. germany would be a nuclear power.

John Browning's designs were already a thing in europe by WWII on account of his work at FN, and the P38 is a very obvious browning-like short recoil design.

Either way, toggle actions are stupid and inefficient anyway, so logic would have caught up with them in the end either way.

Handguns would have been the same...

front gearbox and rear engine seems a little odd but the Sherman has it as well but the Americans were planning to move past that
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T20_Medium_Tank
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M24_Chaffee

the only real problems with leaf springs is a tendency to crack when overloaded
but they are much like other suspension in terms of bulk aside from the type used on the pz3 pz5 and pz6 and also the m24

>christie be better?
its a little fragile but good for speed and smoothness not a high weight loading but good enough
an important thing to remember with springs is that smaller springs must be stiffer to hold the same mass as a longer or otherwise larger spring
christie uses bell cranks to locate the large springs remote from the wheels

and torsion bar systems are the same in that they locate a large spring in a way that does not occupy the same space as the wheels
at least compared to types like horizontal volute spring suspension

That's because it's made by mostly reasonable people with more care for costs and function than looks(=not nazis), mostly for small wars against sanddurkhas of questionable capability. A soldier meant for conventional combat against peer enemies could (and is often expected to) look very different.

Nope, P-08 was already on its way to be replaced with P-38 when World War 2 started. Hence more likely something with double-action trigger and larger mag like what is now commonly available.

Jackboots would have also been replaced with more modern boot design - we still had rather that sort of leather boots (with bit wider soles to leave room for extra socks) when I did my military service and they are neither particularly comfortable or practical. Also just having camo smock instead of full camo suit seems to have been intended as temporary solution, hence full camo suit would have replaced it. Also - steel helmets are now practically completely replaced with kevlar and for very good reasons.

Giving you an example, the Flip military was able to follow along the US military's standards in the ground forces/infantry level until the decline of the 60's flip economy led to the IT AIN'T ME Era stasis.
