I always thought it would be nice to have the Ostheer as the main german army for EF, but then have the satalite axis countries be represented though doctrines, with doctrine specific infantry and tanks, and abilities that characterize the nations that fought with Germany. (Romania, Finland, Austria, all would be represented through doctrines)

I could see that in a future update maybe ;D but just a little bit. Like have Romanian infantry as a little add on to a tech tree

Problem is that only finnish Tank brigade students and finnish Waffen SS troops would have been with the germans in eastern front in places such as Stalingrad, Kursk and so on.

Students were only there to observe the tanks in battle and then return back home to finland and start their own training with vehicles of all kinds. Waffen SS' finnish members only operated until 1943.

Finns never reached Leningrad because they didnt want to participate in the siege as much as the germans, they only wanted to reach the old border before Winter War and only crossed it from few places. Same in Olonets Karelia in where they crossed river Svir only in few places. Finns fought on their own front. So it would be highly unrealistic to have finnish soldiers fight in "deep" russia. While romanian, hungarian and italian troops wouldnt be so.

I know for a fact that Romania had several thousand men in Stalingrad

Like a very wise man said long time ago "No shit Sherlock, so what?"

Yes, indeed. There were loads of romanian troops who collapsed when Red Army started their attack to encircle the remaining german troops in Stalingrad. What is your point?

Thousands of Polish, French and Colonial troops fought in Normandy with the British, yet the Brits side is only made up of Brits (and Canadian artillerymen strangely).

There is no need to represent these Axis countries through Ostheer doctrines.
