So I'm thinking about writing a timeline in which the US decides to field multiple regiments consisting of people from Axis-allied countries to fight. Similar to the 442nd, there would also be an all-German unit, all-Italian, and perhaps other Axis-related countries if enough potential soldiers could be found.
My 4 questions though, before I even think about writing such a thread, are:
How feasible is this, with regards to both methods (scrounging up enough people to form such regiments) and motives (would the US government and military be receptive to such a move)
Could the US potentially send these regiments to fight against their home countries, i.e. sending the 442nd into the Pacific or an all-German brigade into Europe
What would be the effect of such regiments, both during the war and after, both internationally and domestically?
