Another cool pic, remove the Iron cross and SS runes and he could stand in for a modern day TL-191 US soldier.
What do you think of these guys for a kind of Desert Storm era soldiers?

I like it! Definitely looks like something that the US and Germany would use in a desert storm styled conflict.
I have a lot of pics like this and just added the two you posted, steam and diesel punk and sci-fi mixed with WWII. I wish i could do human figures, would like to do something along the lines of these pics and a cross between Wolfenstein. Wolfenstein goes a little too far with nazi imagery, I like pics more of what the Heer might have looked like in a victorious scenario.
The pic below is a good futuristic German soldier pic but I'd like to see more post WWII era style images, a Germany in the Nam would be a pretty cool concept, a 1950's era soldier would be cool too..
This is how I imagine the U.S. army uniform to look in TL-191 sometime between late 20th Century-early 21st Century.
I've thought that Germany would be more technologically advanced and have their soldiers' uniform look like this, compared to their American counterpart during the
I'm definitely thinking that the US would be lagging behind slightly compared to their German counterparts, in terms of military technology.
Actually I'm pretty sure that modern North America would be pretty similar to Rvbomally's Yankee Spring. Maybe have Alaska being host to the in universe equivalent of the Korean War.

The trend IOTL is away from the flaring found on a "Fitz" style helmet. It impedes with the collar on body armor, pushes the helmet over the eyes when in the prone, hurts situational awareness, and impedes the use of communication devices.
The A11 "Morrell". The US first standard barrel introduced in 1948 and given the the official name of "General Morrell". After the introduction of the Morrell, light and heavy barrels were no longer developed, some new designs were drawn up and proposed but none were ever accepted into service.
Instead US barrels got bigger, more powerful and more technically advanced.
A glimpse of the future, inspired by the "Ersatz M10".

So some ideas for US SMG's.
Something that resembles this but has a more realistic projectile gun.

I'm liking the idea that the US had their own versions of the picklehaube, that was mainly worn for ceremonial purposes pre Great War.
No idea to be honest, just found them while doing an image search on "American Pickelhuabe," though I did see one for the marines that was supposed to be a ceremonial helmet. (Sadly the image was to large to upload)
Actually it's in the cover section on the picklehaube page over on wikipedia

And here's another look at it.

So some possible symbols that could be placed on the US Stalhelm.
The classic flag shield im the place of the German tricolor.
Perhaps the American Star to represent the Army.
The twin swords of the cavalry or perhaps in this case US mechanized and armored forces.
And of course the American Eagle.

I like the star in the green circle for army vehicles. I used a star with crossed swords for the air-force.
Going to copy these and try to use them on some pics, how small I can shrink em without losing clarity will determine what I can use and what I can't.
