AH challenge: most multinational WWII allied army instead of in Italy

OK, the Italian Campaign has often been cited as involving the most multinational allied forces of WWII, with servicemen from some 17 different countries fightin the Germans- not just the Brits & the Yanks, but also among others- the Indians, Gurkhas, New Zealanders, Free French- including their Algerians, Moroccans & Senegalese, Poles, Canadians, Greeks, Brazilians, Palestinian Jews, Australians (only from the RAAF though), West Indians, plus Italian Co-Belligerents & partisans. Now, where could that reputation of multinationality in Italy have been exceeded ? The allied forces in Burma, such as the British 14th Army, together with the US CBI forces & Nationalist Chinese, seems another alternative for said moniker...
 
Not that hard. You have in Britain;

Free Norwegian Brigade (more like a battalion plus support units though)
Free Belgian Brigade/Piron Brigade
Free Dutch Brigade (also more like 1½ battalion plus support)

They could be added. You could drum up a brigade form the best and the brightest of the Gideon force, the patriots and the new regular Ethiopian army for show. The British East African Division (mostly Kenyans) could be added. You could also add the Royal Yugoslav Battalion and the Belgian Force Publique Brigade (Congolese) that were mostly milling about in Egypt (yeah, internal security, training, logistics, not milling about, but anyway).

I guess it is also possible to add the Arab Legion and a Senusi volunteer battalion. Perhaps some volunteers from Iran and the Iraqi regular army too? Or the ex-french colonial forces in Libya.

Evacuate a few companies of Tito's partisans during some German offensive, and the mix is complete.
 
Heres a Crazy, implausible idea but anyway.
Let's say Japan Get's Beaten/Surenders early, so D Day (Or it's equivilent analouge) gets multiplied by five, with a compsoisiton such as this.

The British, which of course includes English, Scots, Welsh and Irish, With colonial forces from East, West and Centeral Africa, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, Afghanistan, Burma, Malaya, Yemen and the Trucil states aswell as contingents from British protectorates such as Eqypt, Iraq, Persia, Trasjordon and Palestine.

Then, you have contingents from the British Dominions, in which case you have Australia with Aborigionies and New Guineans, New Zealanders with Maori and Polynesians, South Africa with Afrikanners, Zulus, Xhoxa ETC, Canadians with Qubebecouis and Aborigionies as well as normal White Anglo Saxon Protestants.

Next You have the US, which includes Whites from all Backgrounds, Blacks Native American Indians, Hawaiians, Philipinos, Japanese Americans and Hispanics. Added to this might be contingents from South American Nations attached to the US Army, like the Brazilians and Mexicans from OTL.

Next you of course have the Various Free Contingents from Occupied European Nations like France (which would include West Africans, Algerians, Morrocans, Tunisians, lebenese and even Vietnamese, Cambodians and Laotians), Poland, Czecheslovakia, Norway, Denmark, Yugoslavia, Belgium and the Netherlands.

From Now it gets Harder, so maybe we can add a Chinese contingent in there which would include Han, Manchus and Mongolians, Ethipoians and maybe a Jewish Contingent for good measure.

What do you think?
 
Could Australia have formed aboriginal combat units and sent them to Europe?

I have my own crazy fantasy about the U.S. First and Second Cavalry Divisions and the 26th Cavalry Regiment grouped together into a Cavalry Corps.
