Really, no black soldiers in WW2?
Can you help me out with the correct insignias?

Are you sure? What kind of soldiers can be guard Los Alamos? Maybe it will be better to use civilian security?

But this would be historical incorrect. It was a military nuclear research base.
Perhaps mok could help you, by using a MoT model file with references to the US
soldier uniform texture. He could make it fit to new model file...

They were in the army, my bad but they weren't in the same units as white-americans.

Quote:
African-American soldiers played a significant role in World War II. More than half a million served in Europe. Despite the numbers they faced racial discrimination: prior to the war the military maintained a racially segregated force. In studies by the military, blacks were often classified as unfit for combat and were not allowed on the front lines. They were mostly given support duties, and were not allowed in units with white soldiers.
from: http://www.voanews.com/english/archi...5-10-voa47.cfm

So the mix of black/white is not correct in the level? Guarding a home-base facility would be a support role though.

Sorry I thought they weren't allowed to serve until 1944.

It's not quite true. As I see, it's something more global:

The laboratory is one of the largest science and technology institutions in the world that conducts multidisciplinary research for fields such as national security, outer space, renewable energy, medicine, nanotechnology, and supercomputing.
And I don't know what kind of soldiers/civilians will be more realistic here.

UPD: Maybe here is answer?

So is the statue of Lenin throwable yet?

If you really want to mod as much as possible, you can place some small soviet weapon stockpiles on Maps like Winter Cold. It was a soviet city it would most likely have some soviet equipment lying around.

E.g. You can place a ppsh and some mags. in a corner of a room or a pps and one or two magazines in the middle of the park. Stuff like that.
