Assault Rifles:

Well the StG 44 really is the predecessor to the AK47. There isn't a huge difference in the technology since the AK was only like 3 years older, but in all reality the  AK is more advanced. It really was the first assault rifle of the modern era, the STG was the first ever and was just produced at the dawn of the modern era. Overall the AK has a very minor advantage over the STG, a bit lighter, slightly higher rate of fire and slightly longer range.

EDGE: Vietcong

LMGs:

Hitler's Buzzsaw really was a vicious weapon in WW2. Really it was the most advanced LMG of its time no one could really match it and the German MG crews really new how to handle it. It has a much higher ammo capacity, higher rate of fire, and longer range.

EDGE: Waffen SS

SMGs: Honestly I wanna give it to the MP40 sheerly out of how classic a weapon it is but honestly it does have better range and accuracy.

EDGE: Waffen SS

Pistols:

Vietcong definitely takes this. All stats are the same except caliber. That's a much much bigger round.

EDGE: Vietcong

Explosives:

The Germans really lag behind here with the technological gap. Everything the Vietcong is using here is just a more advanced version of its German predecessor

Edge: Waffen SS

X-Factors

EA I think you got most of the x-factors pretty much accurate so I don't have a lot to say here. Only thing I would say is I think you're a little off on fatigue. I'm not gonna take anything away from the Vietcong because those guys really did live in hell and march through a miserably muggy jungle filled with nasty animals and diseases, but what the Germans went through (especially on the Eastern front) was nothing short of pure hell. I mean keeping you're composure, holding off wave after wave after wave of Russian mass attacks in -20 degree cold in knee deep snow while being constantly bombarded by artillery (not to mention dealing with that awful sound Stalin's organs made) has got to take some insane endurance. Maybe for guys on the western front this is true, but post Stalingrad Eastern Front Germans I don't think lag behind the Vietcong.

Overall: Waffen SS take this. You should have said where the fight would take place, but even if it takes place in the Jungle my answer is the same, it'll just be a much tougher fight. If in the jungle the SS would be out of their element for sure, but their fanatical discipline and training will hold them through. On top of it their killer instinct will provide them with strong reflexes and the ability to not panic when ambushed. Their machine gun, which I feel is the most important weapon here and their most desicive advantage will be a crucial factor. Not trynna be one of those guys who like sucks the SS' dick and worships them talking about "The SS were the greatest toughest strongest most devoted well trained fanatical impecable soldiers ever" as those guys totally exaggerate it but they were honestly an incredible fighting force. I think they still take the win.
