So... this is my first post and I'm going to suggest some stuff for the Ostheer.
So lets start with the basic stuff, the buildings and units.
HQ

Produces: Hitler youth, Grenadiers, Veteran grenadiers, Waffen-SS.
Hitler youth: An inexperienced squad of young soldiers having 5 recruits in one squad, inaccurate and not very strong but fights with an almost unbreakable spirit and is almost insuppressible.
Grenadiers: The standard infantry of the Ostheer, comes in a 4 man squad and can be equipped with Panzershrecks and grenades.
Veteran Grenadiers: These veteran grenadiers come in a 3 man squad and are like an major improvement over the regular grenadiers, but are more expensive and can't be equipped with Panzershrecks, but come with grenades standard.
Waffen SS: The elite units of the barracks, requires specialised barracks (Spezialisierte Infanterie-Bunker), very tough infantry, can be equipped with light machine guns which they can carry around and shoot with (without having to set it up) comes in a 3 man squad.
Upgrades: None

Pkw-Produktion Bunker

Volkswagen: Can hold 4 people, fast.
Halftrack: Can hold 8 people, medium speed.
Truck: Can hold 12 people, slow.
Motorcycle: Fast, recon unit, like the Wehrmacht one, except it has a different skin and maybe a few bits and bobs changed.
Armoured Car: Don't know much about armoured cars, but a normal armoured car would do that isn't in the game.
Upgrades: None
Fahrzeug-Bunker
Description: Produces the medium tanks and vehicles of the Ostheer.
Produces: Panzer III, Panzer IV, Nashorn, Panzer II Flamm, Grille and Brummbar.
Panzer III: Cheaper than the Panzer IV, can be upgraded with a wide range of weapons like the Panzer IV.
Panzer IV: Same as the panzer III only stronger, can also be be upgraded with a wide range of weapons.
Nashorn: Tank destroyer
Panzer II: Flame tank.
Grille: Self propelled artillery.
Brummbar: Assault gun, research all these tanks on wikipedia for more information.

The rest of the buildings would be standard stuff, MG bunker, medic tent, etc.
