In my TL Petrograd, The Red Flame Of Russia I'm planning to get into some detail over alternate uniforms for the German Red Army.
A few questions (I'm not pretending to be an expert, so bear with me):
-Should I keep the field-gray color scheme, or should the coloring on the new uniforms be markedly different?
The reason I ask is because I don't want the German Red Army to look too similar to their Russian counterpart, as the German Red Army is going to be its own separate army
-In looking at Soviet Red Army uniforms, would it be a good idea to have red insignia (stars, stripes, etc.) on the German uniforms as well?
Any other advice and/or information for designing a fictional German Red Army uniform will be greatly appreciated.
