Paul Hausser might be the man, if we imagine the collaborators to be of the "man, wouldn't it be cool if we had regular Pogroms against our Jewish populace in Germany as well" variety.
Sounds like a good fit for commander of the Teutonic Grand Ducal forces. Von Reichnau could be the Teutonic Grand Duke's military adviser/minister of war.

As for Herr Schorner, he could command the military forces of Joseph Goebbel's puppet administration in German territory occupied by France...
 
Here's another question: what about the Ukrainian resistance? The UPA, the Banderists, men like Dmytro Klyachkivsky? The region was occupied by Germany, but I doubt they'd want to go back under Russia either.
The Ukrainian Insurgent Army would definitely be fighting against both the Russian occupation and the German re-invasion. After the war they would fight the German armies and the armies of the Kingdom of Ukraine until the last active insurgents surrendered in 1948, although local and sporadic resistance would continue until 1955. Some members of the UPA would also selectively collaborate with the Russian Empire, although the Russian Empire raised their own collaborationist "Ukrainian Armies" and well as units of ethnic-Russians in Ukraine loyal to the Russian Empire.

The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) would also exist, founded by Ukrainian exiles in Paris, France in 1929. The more moderate wing of the party would be led by Yevhen Konovalets, as opposed to Andriy Melnyk who led the moderate wing IOTL, as he would be a general in the army of the Kingdom of Ukraine. Thus, the moderate wing would the OUN-K. The radical wing would be led by d Stepan Bandera and would be the OUN-B. They, along with the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, would be responsible for numerous atrocities during the Second Great War against Jews, Russians, Poles and Germans. As a result, after the war, Stepan Bandera, leader of the OUN-B, along with UPA members Vasyl Ivakhiv, Dmytro Klyachkivsky and Roman Shukhevych would all be executed on June 30, 1946 by the government of the Kingdom of Ukraine and the Ukranian and German armies. The OUN was forcibly disbanded by the German armies occupying Paris after the war in 1945.

Yevhen Konovalets (June 14, 1891-September 20, 1975). Shortly before the atomic bombing and subsequent fall of Paris, Konovalets fled to the United States of America, where he continued to advocate for a Ukraine free from German control and became active in many Ukrainian immigrant communicates, including those in the East Coast, Midwest, West Coast and the Canadian states. Until his death, he continued to defend his actions and always condemned the genocidal actions of the UPA and OUN-B.

In The Aftermath: the US Navy, the Americas, and US foreign Policy in the post Confederate World
Part 1: 1944-1960
5bc8988665d332134a3448e5


Battleship USS Missouri is paraded through San Francisco on her way to retirement, 1985.

The Last of the "Mahanian Philosophy" Battleships built for the US Navy, with their successors, the Montana-class, cancelled following the End of the Second Great war, the "Mighty Mo" and her three sisters of the Ohio-class (Ohio, Kentucky, Wisconson) formed the core of the "New Model Navy" constructed to supplement Aircraft carrier operations in both the Atlantic and Pacific, with the speed needed for fast-response operations and to keep up with carrier groups, as well as provide close-in Anti-Aircraft support.

Of the Four, only Ohio and Missouri were completed in time to see service in the War, bombarding Confederate coastal positions in Virginia and South Carolina in support of Irving Morrell's "Drive to the Sea" and, in what would turn out to be the last Battleship vs. Battleship engagement in the Western Hemisphere, Missouri engaged CSS Louisiana off the Hampton Roads in early 1944 as she tried to break out of Newport News with a small squadron of CSN warships.

Not far from where USS Monitor and CSS Virginia had fought their historic duel in March 1862, in what some regarded as the first battle between the USN and CSN, the LAST battle between the two navies would be fought, as the punishing 16-inch guns of the Mighty Mo pounded the "King Louie" and her escorts, aided by Y-range fire control systems that allowed for great accuracy.
Within 4 hours, Louisiana was limping back towards port, trailing smoke from over a dozen fires on board, while the cruisers CSS Charleston and CSS Norfolk were settling to the bottom of the harbor. Missouri, for her part, had taken several hits, including a torpedo to her starboard side that, depending on who you ask, came from a CSN destroyer or a coastal torpedo battery. However, despite her damage she was still in fighting shape, and was back to bombarding Confederate positions within 3 hours.

With the End of the War, Missouri was part of the task force ordered to guard the remainder of the Confederate Fleet that had been gathered in Narragansett Bay, the few ships of the CSN Atlantic squadrons that were not scuttled or caught in the Superbombing of Newport News. Among these is the incomplete hull of the CSS Florida, a Confederate response to the Ohio-class that the needs of the war prevented from being finished, as well as the near-complete hull of the CSS Douglas Corrigan, the CSA's first and only Aircraft Carrier. The Florida would later be sunk in Superbomb tests in the Pacific, while the "Wrong Way" as it was so nicknamed after its namesake, would be completed by the USN and sold to Brazil to help maintain a pro-US force in South America.

Following the war and the completion of her two remaining sisters, Missouri and Wisconsin would eventually be assigned to the Pacific Fleet, with their first mission being to oversee the ceremonies commemorating the opening of construction on the "Columbia Canal" cut through the isthmus of Panama, which had, finally, been organized by US diplomats, such efforts long stymied by the USA and CSA threatening war if the other began such an effort. From there, They would be posted to Pearl Harbor, where as part of the USS Wilbur Wright Carrier force would lock eyes with the Japanese Navy, with whom tensions had almost immediately upon the end of the war begun flaring again. With some proclaiming "Unfinished Business" with the Japanese for the quasi-war in the Pacific before the rise of the Freedom Party in the CSA, the "Double-W" force would regularly close distance with their counterparts from the Imperial Japanese Navy, sometimes close enough for sailors on both sides to wave to one another. Missouri would regularly square off with the Japanese battleship Shinanao, one of the 18-inch armed "Super Battleships" that the IJN had constructed in an effort to match firepower against their numerical inferiority to the USN.

Heading into the 1950's, as the USN began to streamline its forces to reduce costs in the post-war world, the Ohio's were among the only wartime Capitol Ships to remain in active service, with much of the USN's pre-war or wartime forces being decommissioned, mothballed or, in the case of most of the battleships, scrapped. Aside from the memorialized USS Dakota, which was officially proclaimed as the USN's "Heritage Emissary" ship and docked alongside USS Constitution in Boston Harbor, and several other other vessels purchased by veterans groups to be preserved as private museums, the "Mahanian Fleet" of the pre-Great Wars era was for the most part reduced to scrap iron and recycled. With the fleets of the Allied powers such as the Royal Navy being reduced to near-impotence by Armistice regulation, the only fleets in the Atlantic region that posed a conspicuous threat to the USN were those of her allies, and of these only the Kaiserliche Marine of Germany could hope to face them in Open Battle. While Japan remained adversarial, they seemed content to consolidate their holdings in the Western Pacific.

it was during this period that the question of Superbomb warfare emerged to the fore of Military planning, with the subsequent question as to whether such massive navies served a practical purpose when superbombs could sink an entire task force in one blow. This philosophy was made all the more prominent following the joint US-German Midway tests, wherein several ex-Allied vessels and surplus USN and KM assets were subjected to a sequence of Superbombings, both from the air and from underwater. The results spoke for themselves: while the ships proved reluctant to sink outright, they were badly damaged, and the radiation contamination would have rendered them effectively inoperable as there would be no chance of their crews surviving.

Following these operations, the Close-knit task forces the Ohio's had been built for were reorganized to prioritize destroyers and cruisers as fast escorts, leaving the battleships at something of a loss of purpose: with no enemy battleships to fight and the carriers now dashing about with lighter vessels to support them, the quartet of battleships faced a period of shuffling about duties, including a hitherto unheard-of moment when all four were stationed in the San Diego Navy Yard.

Salvation came with the beginning of the "Peruvian War" of 1957 between Chile and Peru, where the vessels, in league with their allies in the Chilean Navy, lent their heavy guns to shore bombardment duties in support of the Chilean Advance. A Neo-Freedomite government had taken over Peru, with intelligence indicating that ex-FPG officers who had fled to the country being behind the coup, and this was compounded by the Peruvian forces being equipped with weaponry, particularly barrels and aircraft, that bore remarkable resemblances to that used by the CSA during the 2nd Great War.

President David Ironhewer was hesitant about Committing US ground forces to the fight, but knew he could not allow a pro-Freedomite regime to stand in the Americas, as rumblings of similar attitudes had emerged in Bolivia and Ecuador, and Argentina, always pro-British from the start and serving as a hidey-hole for ex-Silvershirt officials, would likely throw its weight behind such an effort. In league with the Chilean government, as well as those of Columbia and Brazil, the United States deployed an expeditionary force of 47,000 men, augmented by Barrels, aircraft and logistical support, to back up the Anti-Freedomite Coalition of the Americas, or AFCA, which would subsequently become a permanent alliance organization, with Venezuela, Uraguay and Paraguay later joining.

After three and a half years of hard fighting through the Andes, more than half of Peru was in the hands of AFCA forces, and Bolivian intervention had been curtailed by a combination of economic incentives and the veiled threat of superbombing. Joseph P. Kennedy Jr, who had succeeded Ironhewer as president, sought a diplomatic end to the fighting, especially as tensions were beginning to heat up in Europe as Austria-Hungary was wracked by a series of internal crises and Germany cracked down on a rebellion in her West African Colonies through a series of bloody reprisals that were revealed to have been carried out by ex-Confederates serving in the German Foreign Legion.
With the Freedomite government of Peru not being forthcoming, Kennedy instead threw his backing behind the creation of a North and South Peru, with a pro-US government taking over the south, backed by Chile and Brazil.​

Native Sequoyahns during the Second Great War
One of the most well-known stories to have occurred when the USA and CSA fought each other for the fourth and final time was the use of indigenous soldiers by the Confederates (and occasionally by the Union).

Since the beginning of the Confederate Revolution, the Confederate government quickly developed cordial relations with the Indian tribes that existed in the then-Indian territory and sought an alliance with them in order to fight against the Union. Although Sequoyah was annexed as a Union territory after the First Great War, an underground movement of pro-Confederate Native Sequoyahns was created during the two decades before the Second Great War. Featherston knew that he could count on the loyalty of the Sequoyahns to rebel against the Yankee government once the Confederate Army took over the entire state and liberated it by the beginning of Fall 1941. When the Yankee White population was expelled by the Confederates, Sequoyah began to sent out its own men to join the fight against the Union. Some Sequoyahns, who lived in Texas or Arkansas after 1917, were trained and selected as a special force throughout the Confederacy.

The most famous of these were the Code Talkers who sent out orders to other Sequoyahns in their own languages, confusing the Union government. Recently declassified documentation revealed that most of the secrecy behind the Confederate kernweapon program was successful due to the use of Code Talkers. Several battles were also won or at least lasted longer in favor of the Confederacy with the help of Code Talkers. While this gave Confederate Intelligence an extra layer of secrecy, it was not enough to stop the gigantic force of Union forces descending upon the Confederacy during the last years of the Second Great War.


The Sequoyahns who were active during the war were captured, tried, imprisoned, and/or executed. However, President La Follette saw their languages to be used for Union Intelligence. Often times, Code Talkers were granted amnesty or a reduced sentence in return for their service to the U.S. government.

Code Talkers have been a controversial topic in the history of the Second Great War. Despite being enemies against the Union under the Freedomite government, the vast majority of the Code Talkers would be granted U.S. citizenship and become involved in classified operations against the Japanese Empire during the Second Great Game. Some have argued that they should have been given the same treatment as the Freedomites did, while others argued that they were merely soldiers who were not directly involved with the crimes against humanity that occurred in the CSA. President Dewey would later write in his memoirs that both he and La Follette did not wish to condemn the Code Talkers in order to gain the support of the Sequoyahn population, who have historically been screwed over by the U.S. government.

Below are photographs of Sequoyahns, Code Talkers and non-Code Talkers, who fought during the Second Great War.

Flag of the International Order for Peace (an OTL parallel to the United Nations)

Headquarters: Brussels, Belgium, German Empire (International Territory)
Official Language(s): Esperanto
Type: Intergovernmental organization
Membership: ~200 member states; 1 observer state
Leaders:
-Secretary-General
-Vice-Secretary-General
-Economic & Social Council President
-Security Council President
Establishment:
May 4, 1945

I.O. Security Council:
Permanent Members (Kernweapon-states)- German Empire, United States, Japanese Empire, Ottoman Turkey
Non-Permanent Members: Austrian States, Kingdom of Poland, Ukrainian State, Kingdom of Italy, Kingdom of Finland, Kingdom of Bulgaria, Qajar Persia, India, Brazilian Empire, Quebec, Bogd Khanate of Mongolia

Notes:
1) Flag is a mixture of the League on Nations and United Nations from OTL.
2) My choice of Esperanto is a reference to the OTL attempt at making it the official language of the League of Nations back in the 1920's. My head canon is that it becomes a reality in TL-191.
3) The observer state is Leonine City (TL-191's version of Vatican City).
4) The establishment of the International Order's date of founding was chosen randomly, but it would occur about a year after SGW.
5) There were initially two permanent members, Germany and USA, but once Japan got the superbomb, the I.O. were compelled to grant the Japanese a seat. Ottoman Turkey was eventually given membership for its (neutral) help in sending oil to Germany and its allies, although the USA fought back against it especially under President Morrell but Germany and Japan voted in favor of its inclusion, mostly to make the USA angry (even more so when they got the bomb).
6) Non-Permanent members are nations who have some relation with the permanent members. Some of them may or may not possess superbombs.
7) These are all Head-canon ideas.

Not that they actually deserve it but doesnt the fact that the UK has superbombs at least make them a candidate for permanent member of the IO security council but surely a non-permanent member ? Assuming they havent refused to join this body of course Im asking if it has even been offered to them....

I tend to view England (or Britain) going down the path of Japan in TL-191 as it did OTL: Forever renouncing war and never using superbombs. They occasionally are part of the non-permanent members, but it is always temporary, as it is in real-life.

Camp Boligee and many other Concentration Camps largely served the role as a transit camp which was a stopover for Black Confederates that were being taken to Death Camps such as Determination, Byrd, and Prosperity and other Concentration Camps. Camp Boligee itself was actually a repurposed CS Army Depot that was established in 1908 and was taken over by the Freedom Party and converted into a transit camp in 1940.
