Hi Shadow, welcome to the forum.
It's certainly getting there. Some of the colours, such as Hitler's eyes are over saturated and over worked, just a little too intense, perhaps knocking them back a few shades might add to the realism. Also a few more layers in the individual colours to add depth, the hay and trees and grass would benefit from it. One last thing, I think the soldiers boots should be brown, not black (even though it looks like you may have left the original untouched).
Sorry to be disheartening, as really it's a good effort

yeah the blue eyes was kind of on purpose (hitler wanted germans to have baby blue eyes and blond hair back then xD) but thanks for the advice!
I mainly use
Leveling and Color Balance

I think you would enjoy trying Gradient Map colouring too, it produces some exceptional results when combined with good masking.
The basics are converting to LAB colour space and then using a custom gradient in Create New Fill or Adjustment Layer>Gradient Map. The technique is great for skin tones and with that end here's a useful skin tone chart to help, make 3 further gradient stops on the Gradient Map and start with a dark tone and work down to lightest tone.
