Minor piece of trivia that doesn't affect the bigger picture - it is possible that American units in the south western United States might include a small number of (West) German military personnel - the Luftwaffe ran an air defence school for its personnel at Fort Bliss since the 1960's. Presuming all personnel weren't immediately pulled back to Germany at the start of the War (and I see no reason why it should - training would still have to take place) some Luftwaffe personnel might have linked up with US units after Fort Bliss was overrun (the School Brigade is probably the most likely).

(IRL the Luftwaffe also had a permanent presence at Holloman AFB, NM, between 1996 and September this year but that was very much a post Cold War thing so I think unlikely to feature in the V1 timeline)
