IMO, the Germans are better in every way save for their limited LMG mobility.
Their grenadiers get full fledged rifles instead of using little pew pew pistols, they get a unique armored troop, their commander has the ultimate spammy pistol of doom, and their helmets aren't taken from a Lego Bob the Builder set.
Although getting the bandana with the French Grenadier makes me feel like le spy.
