Is this like ultimate warrior?
Anyway while storm troopers were pretty much a myth (they weren’t specially trained or equipped, they were just the younger more fit soldiers), I would say that the Japanese would win against the average German “Stormtroopers” if only due to his technological advantage.
The average German soldier during WW1 was significantly larger and stronger than the average Japanese soldier of WW2, but the Japanese soldiers were usually battle hardened veterans who had been fighting in China since the 1930s, while the German soldiers were pretty much just sitting in trenches getting gangrene most of the time.
If you were to compare the average Japanese soldier during WW2 to the average German soldier during WW2 than I would put my money on the German. The German army was better trained, better equipped, and fought much more able enemies. The Japanese fought the Chinese, and later the Western Allies, the Germans fought the Poles, French, Russian, Norwegians, the British, and some had served in the Spanish civil war.
