Level 50? so they're resetting the ranks? Or do you completely restart just because its alpha?
Everyone in alpha started fresh.
Nothing will be reset.

Thanks. The Bar chart is organized awkwardly, though. It would be important to know how they came up with these categories and what metrics they entailed. Also, a name change for Ostheer.
I ranked them in order.

Conscript oorah?
Faster setup maxims?
M3?
Faster tanks?
This probably adds up.
Now, I'd question soviets having more firepower then USF.

Coming in Company of Heroes 2: The Western Front Armies The OberKommando West (OKW) are designed to reflect the German army of late 1944 – resurgent, on the offensive, built around battle hardened infantry, and using expensive, massively powerful tanks at a time when they were facing economic collapse. They also bring a new type of base building to the front lines, something that will give CoH2 players new variety of tactical options.
Like the Soviets and Wehrmacht factions of the base CoH2, the OKW begin with one base building – the Command Headquarters. This building allows them to produce their starting units such as the Sturmpioneer Squad.
Shortly after the game begins the OKW have a sWS Supply Half-track deployed, this is their second base unit. The Half-track can be converted into one of three potential base buildings but has to be positioned on any captured territory that is currently connected to their headquarters.
These buildings are:
Battlegroup Headquarters: offers a versatile mix of support and strike units needed by the battlegroup to recon enemy positions, barrage light targets and support infantry operations with armour. The Battlegroup HQ has a medic team that can heal nearby infantry and can act as a retreat point to reinforce units.
Mechanized Regiment Headquarters: supplies vehicles to counter any threat – infantry or armoured – that the enemy can field. Powerful anti-infantry and anti-tank options add dimension to attack or defense. The Mechanized Regiment HQ has attached engineers who can repair damaged vehicles. It is also capable of performing either a Fuel Transfer or a Munitions Transfer to help players boost the income of one type of resource at the expense of the other.
Schwerer Panzer Headquarters: orders in the most powerful infantry and armoured units – elite and heavy forces capable of smashing through enemy infantry, armoured units or concentrations of both. The Schwerer HQ is armed with a powerful 3.7cm flak cannon that can devastate enemy infantry and light vehicles.
The Half-tracks are deployed every 180 seconds (three minutes) after the last one has been converted into an HQ building or after one is destroyed. The Battlegroup and Mechanized HQs can be constructed in any order and the Schwerer HQ requires one of the first two buildings to be built out.
The placement of these buildings is where strategy comes in. Losing one of the HQ structures to an enemy attack could be devastating, so a conservative player may want to build out all three in their starting territory. However being able to have a retreat and reinforce point far up the map can be a powerful tactical advantage, and well worth the risk of losing your Battlegroup HQ. Placing the Schwerer HQ near a vital resource area or Victory Point can help defend it against enemy capture.
Combined with their elite infantry and heavy armour this unique base system makes the OberKommando West one of the most tactically interesting armies in the Company of Heroes franchise.

Too bad it doesn't say what goes where, I was hoping to theorize build-orders to try.
I'm disappointed that the Flak gun is on the last truck though. By the time you get it, the enemy will have tanks and it won't be so useful anymore.
