Orientals in the Germany Army - book search

I recall seeing a book cover showing what I took to be a Japanese man in a German army uniform. I think the book covered other Eastern and Asiatic people, but I can't recall the title. Any help?

All I can remember in the moment is the official US photo which show captured Mongols in the German uniforms, not sure about the book. But such title would be interesting to see.

There is mentioned in a book of the US army capturing a group of Koreans serving in the German army in Normandy after D-Day. I have also seen pictures of other orientals in German uniform.

Maybe this one: it is a book by a French editor, but usually text is both in French and English.

Thank you, Laurent. I'm not sure if it is the same book, but I appreciate you taking the time to help. Whatever the language, I want to explore this subject.
