Assuming that by some miracle the Germans survive WW2 and dominate Europe minus Britain and the Soviets survive, but in a Brest-Litovsk sized USSR, what would the German (Nazi?) special forces look like?
There basically is a multi-polar cold war with Britain a neutral state, but economically tied into Europe, with much of its Empire breaking away postwar (India on time; Canada, Australia, and South Africa going their own way); Japan never having attacked the US, so it still a power in East Asia, but is locked in China fighting everyone there; and the USSR having clawed back from the brink and locked in an uneasy peace with Axis Europe, with an undeclared war raging in the ceded Eastern European territories with guerillas and various groups fighting one another for control (Axis Cossacks, various Ukrainian groups, Jews, Communists, pro-Axis Russians like Vasilov's group, etc.), while Yugoslavia is a mess too. Italy retains Libya and its oil, but loses East Africa.
The Abwehr is pretty much subsumed into the SS, which is now run by a surviving Reinhard Heydrich (not assassinated ITTL), as Canaris has been caught and executed for working with the British, and the SS maintains their IOTL late war 'pan-European' recruitment. Italy is in alliance with Germany and is caught up in maintaining the Axis Empire.
Spain is also involved to a degree in the Axis, never abandoning the 'Blue' (Azul) Division, but isn't a formal member in the East, nevertheless still sends 'volunteers' to fight communism in Eastern Europe.
What special forces the Axis field in this environment?
