C.S.A. Soldier WWII

A Confederate States soldier in a Second World War setting is an alternate-history subject. The historical Confederate States existed during the American Civil War and ceased to function in 1865. A twentieth-century Confederate army therefore requires an imagined survival or re-creation of that state; no authentic Second World War Confederate service record exists.

The original Confederacy relied on a combination of volunteers, conscription, imported weapons, and domestic manufacture during its 1861–65 struggle against the United States. Its forces used black-powder firearms, field artillery, cavalry, and increasingly elaborate entrenchments. Those institutions provide the historical background from which an alternate setting might depart. Rifles, uniforms, vehicles, or tactical organizations appropriate to the 1940s would belong to that imagined later development. Specific battles, commanders, and technological choices for such a force cannot be presented as documented history without a separately identified fictional setting.
