Historical fact: the Soviet Germans fought in the Red Army and although there were few of them and although they were mostly sent to the rear, but some still remained.
I suggest you do it either for a gold card or with a 1 in 150 chance.

Germany heroes of Soviet union
Why is there a need to add them as special golden order?
Just do it in the same way like it is done for Wehrmacht - by adding more surnames to the pool. When you play as Axis you can get soldiers with names from all around the Europe - polish, russian, belgian.
So they should just add few more, german sounding names to the list for the Red Army.
Traitors not was in wermacht,they was in SS national divisions
Soviet Germany was in regular Soviet army
What?
So if Russian went to fight alongside Germans he was a traitor, but if German fought alongside Russians he was a hero?
That’s some kind of wierd logic here.
But here you go:
Russian Liberation Army - Wikipedia
A whole bunch of Russians who joined Wehrmacht as volounteers.

Volga Germans
Yes, Vlasov was a communist, but he was captured and he did not want to die from terrible torture and began to play the German game with the ROA,like Paulus.
True, some of Russians who fought on the White side during Russian Civil War joined those forces. But there were also some Red Army soldiers who got captured during Barbarossa and decided to join German army.
There also were a lot of Russians who enlisted as volounteers after Germans took control of their land. Wehrmacht was in many cases seen by Russian people as liberators, who saved them from Soviet regime (we now know that was not true, but their point of view was different). So of course they wanted to join the army and fight against Soviet Union.
Overall Vlasow Army was not the only one.
Collaboration in the German-occupied Soviet Union - Wikipedia
You can see here that up to 1 000 000 former SU citizens joined Wehrmacht. And many of those were normal people, not some Whites from 1917. They just saw opportunity to free themselfs from communist opression.
On the other hand Volga Germans, from what I have found were treated by Stalin as potential traitors and as soon as Operation Barbarossa started great numbers of them were deported into Siberia.
History of Germans in Russia, Ukraine and the Soviet Union - Wikipedia
"As a result of the German invasion of the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941, Stalin decided to deport the German Russians to internal exile and forced labor in Siberia and Central Asia. It is evident that, at this point, the regime considered national minorities with ethnic ties to foreign states, such as Germans, potential fifth columnists. On 12 August 1941, the Central Committee of the Communist Party decreed the expulsion of the Volga Germans, allegedly for treasonous activity, from their autonomous republic on the lower Volga. On 7 September 1941, the Volga German Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was abolished and about 438,000 Volga Germans were deported. In subsequent months, an additional 400,000 ethnic Germans were deported to Siberia from their other traditional settlements such as Ukraine and the Crimea.
The Soviets were not successful in expelling all German settlers living in the Western and Southern Ukraine, however, due to the rapid advance of the Wehrmacht (German Army). The secret police, the NKVD, was able to deport only 35% of the ethnic Germans from Ukraine. Thus in 1943, the Nazi German census registered 313,000 ethnic Germans living in the occupied territories of the Soviet Union. With the Soviet re-conquest, the Wehrmacht evacuated about 300,000 German Russians and brought them back to the Reich. Because of the provisions of the Yalta Agreement, all former Soviet citizens living in Germany at war’s end had to be repatriated, most by force. More than 200,000 German Russians were deported, against their will, by the Allies and sent to the Gulag . Thus, shortly after the end of the war, more than one million ethnic Germans from Russia were in special settlements and labor camps in Siberia and Central Asia. It is estimated that 200,000 to 300,000 died of starvation, lack of shelter, over-work, and disease during the 1940s.[67]"
So even if some managed to escape deportation and join Red Army - do they really need golden order to be represented in Enlisted? I still stand by my opinion that adding some German sounding names to the list of potential names for the Red Army should be more than enough.
