The Dutch Commonwealth offically does not allow women to join the armed forces in anything but support roles so that is not going to happen. Sweden has some all-female squadrons but those only fly bombers. Canada has one, the 161th sqaudron "the Angels of Toronto" and the US has to few squadrons to create dedicated ace squadrons, and most definitly not all-female ace sqaudrons. One the Axis side Japan and France plain refuse to let women fight, Britian, Poland-Lithuania and Hungary only let women serve in support roles and Italy has a pair female aces who mostly serve in propaganda. |

So Germany is the leading country where women can fight as equals to men, in the air mostly because i do not see them on ground duties yet. |

Thanks to Von Manstein's "everyone who can fight Will fight" women do fight in ground combat as well, and another anime character commands the 212th panzer Battalion "Black Forest's Peak". |

Of course not, the Wehrmacht is not made of money. Instead their Inventory is of the "boring but practical" variety With Panzer IVs, STuG IIIs and two Tiger IIIs. Besides, the Maus never entered combat and ended its days as target practice. |

Okay so no Panthers. |

The Panthers are probably going to be the local equilant of the British Centurion, one of the first MBTs as we know them. |

With Germany itself being overrun and the Wehrmacht having to rely on River Platta and British Argentina's far less developed industry, there were simply no resources left for big fancy Projects. With little else remaining, the Heer was forced to equip its soldiers With humble bolt-actions rifles, Panzerfausts and machine guns (being made by Germans, they were of course all in excellent conditions). They did have some fancy Projects like the Me-262 and V-1 though. |

Yes, and when the war is over the Dutch are of course getting paid handsomely for it. |

So the Dutch Commonwealth never did a Destroyers for Bases Agreement with Germany like the United States did with the United Kingdom in OTL. |
