Helmuth von Moltke found himself face down in the dirt. He couldn't remember just how he got here. All around him were his men, each of them just as dazed as he was. He didn't recognize this forest. None of his men did. It stretched on for days. "Alright men, set up camp. Send scouts out in every direction. We need to figure out just where the hell we are." And with that, his army got to work. Some trees were chopped down for fuel and within a few hours, a camp was made. The nights passed fretfully with reports of walking trees and violent trees. Molke was rather reluctant to buy into any of it, but one night something strode through camp. It was angry. The beast killed scores of men before it was finally brought down with massed machine gun fire. Sure enough. It was a walking tree. This couldn't have been any normal forest. The beast's body was set up for examination. Panic should have spread throughout the camp, but Moltke urged them that the only way to survive here would be to stick together. As morning struck, a census was started to figure out just who was here. The results found that many soldiers from across both fronts had arrived here. A mix-and-mash group of German soldiers found themselves in a place was not Russia, Italy, or France. Within a few days, the scouts had returned. They told tales of a massive army marching away from a black tower. They also brought back a rather perturbed Crown Prince Wilhelm. "This isn't the Black Forest," the Prince said to the general. A hearty wave of laughter arose from the ranks of men behind him. "Indeed it isn't," Moltke responded. They discussed their situation. The only landmark anyone knew of was the black tower. They decided to set out at dawn.

I think this stopped being an Alternate History the second you said Middle-Earth

Well, it'll continue being an Alt-History due to the influx of new folks coming in.
That and it's an alternate history revolving around the actions of historical figures rather than the world itself.

Fanfiction, lol.
But alright. Germany takes Isengard. What year does this happen during WWI? Because that determines who gets thrown into the mix

who have wound up in middle earth? Funky grammar aside. Roughly ten thousand German troops from all over the East and West fronts. Including Moltke, Wilhelm III, Adolf Hitler, and Erwin Rommel. Later more Germans will show up including civilians. The Russian Revolutionaries may also show up.

Gondor may or may not follow suit.
The Elves will be fucked three ways from sunday by the German Orc Divisions. Orekmacht?
