Colorized photo of members of the Indian Legion being inspected. A lot of them were former POWs captured in North Africa, Middle East or even in England frontlines and join, either by political ideals or rather by in order to reach India as quickly as possible, the division was little used, not knowing its baptism of fire before 1944 in occupied russia.
US Army Green Beret conducts a live fire test with a captured German made FG-42 Falshimjager. Caption was unclear and some rumors confirms that this photo can came from a brutal combat between an unknown enemy force identified as part of the SS and a unit of green berets in the late 1960s somewhere in Colorado. Official sources had denied the existence of such a military engagement.
Minor nitpick: Estonia's population is mostly Finnic. Back in the 1940s, even Narva was barely one third Russian, and in cities like Tallinn/Reval, Tartu/Dorpat, and Parnu, Russians were virtually absent.
While this is true, it is also true that the Nazis did plan to practically eradicate the Estonians as a population group, by Germanizing a part of it and destroying the rest in some fashion (likely through slave labour, etc). For Nazi victory scenarios that include an independent Greater Finland, I often suggest a stock solution for the Finns to rescue at least a part of the Estonian people (say, something like a million or so, or more) from oblivion by offering to take them off the Nazis' hands, and then resettling them en masse to their newly-annexed Eastern Karelian territories, hereby creating an "Estonian homeland" of sorts somewhere along the Onega or the White Sea. While there would be humanitarian-cultural reasons for the Finns to do this, it would also make sense from a cynical economic POV: after the expulsion of the Russian population of Eastern Karelia, Greater Finland would be sorely in need of people to settle in its far-flung territories as farmers and workers...
The other nitpick that came to my mind when reading Nathan Bernacki's post was one of my little pet peeves, that of calling Mannerheim a "von". While the Mannerheim family is originally from Germany, they are Swedish nobility and have generally never used a "von" as a part of their name. Of course in a Nazi victory scenario the standard German style might be to call the Marshal of Finland "von Mannerheim" - but then that would be an in-universe style, not one that has been really traditionally or officially used IOTL.

The Imperial Japanese Navy base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The site of the infamous December 7th, 1941 surprise attack became the springboard for the IJN for their invasion of the West Coast after retaking Hawaii in February 1942.
The streets of Havana, Cuba, an external territory of the American Reich and a popular tourist destination for Reich citizens.
German soldier in Occupied Greenland, 1958.
considered by theorists and other Nazi occultists as the cradle of an Aryan hyperborean civilization, the polar circle was massively colonized and explored by Germany (which annexed many Norwegian and Danish islands). the attachment of Greenland to the Reich as an SS state will not surprise anyone.
"Cowboy resistance" in occupied Texas, c. 1964. These cowboys are known to operate throughout the former Southwestern United States and is alleged supported by the Mexican resistance across the border.
