To be fair to Rhalitra, it really does depend upon how you use the symbols. Eg. Using a Totenkopf + Black Sack Coat would be fine if the unit is based on the Black Brunswickers or Prussian Deaths Head Hussars, but not if they're based on the SS.

Or it would even be fine if you have antagonistic group using over the top dictatorship style tropes ala the People's Republic of Tyranny, but if you start acting like they're the good guys it becomes rather obscene.

Also, personally, I've always seen Alterac as a mix of Switzerland and Austria due to the mountains and Swiss Cheese. You could even give a fanon explanation for Alterac as it being a corruption of Altereich or "Old Realm" in German, like how Austria is Ostereich/Eastern Realm.
