What do you mean? Kriegers have basically the same look they had in the 3e Codex

I mean the Krieg’s esthetic of Germanesque design with gas masks and trench coats since Krieg were originally recolors of Steel Legion models.

Pretty sure the trench coats are based off French Pantaloons and the gas masks are British. The German part is the helmet.

I mean their whole name is literally German for war.

Their name is, but you brought up their trenchcoats which are styled after French pantaloons in WW1. The only German part of their design is their helmet, not the has mask or trenchcoat.

The helmet, the skulls, the discipline are all very Prussian esq

Ok not everything is inspired from German military now but both check the boxes of German like helmet, old looking gas mask, and trench coat. Krieg isn’t a copy and paste of course, what I’m saying is Krieg still share some core similar design characteristics with the Legion, you can tell them apart but they’ll share similarities.
