I had an idea. So generally speaking, every war, major and minor, has had a certain aesthetic or genre attached to it. When we think of Vietnam we think of LSD, Fortunate Son, olive drab fatigues and chopper blades whirring over the jungle. When we think of the Soviet Union doing pretty much anything we think of the Red Army Choir rumbling some powerful hymn in the background as a human wave pours over a position, be it desert or snow, while AK or nugget metal flashes in the sun. We hear the music, we taste the ethnic cuisine, we feel the uniform on our skin.
Now, what if we took these unique, iconic aesthetics, and force-matched them? How cool/goofy/humorous/epic/downright autistic would that look? What music would play? What guns would be used? How would they make the tactics work in this strange new environment? I want to come up with new ideas and see what we could make.
My go-to example when I've talked about this with friends is "Nazis in Vietnam." Forget the historical conflicts for a second and focus on the aesthetic. What if you took America out and plunked the Third Reich into the jungle instead? Maybe think of it from the Wolfenstein timeline angle. Wermacht soldiers listening to psychedelic music like Fortunate Son or The Doors, except in German(youtu.be/q3TVqZ3lO-U). WW2 German weapons being used in the moist jungle. How would it sound? What would it taste like? Would it make a badass alt-history video game or movie?
For Nazis in Vietnam you can even keep the LSD, just change it from degenerate conscripts smuggling it from home to a new experimental drug for enhancing combat effectiveness...however when it isn't held at the proper temperature the side effects can be...unexpected.

Be intresting to see jungle sturmgewehrs or just the STG evolution and refinement develope into the sixties. The commando scene would also be nice to see since the germans will likely have a counterpart to the allied special forces.
