Nazi Propaganda Truck
I saw this from the movies; not sure if it happened in for real in the war itself but I was thinking of one of those Nazi propaganda trucks that never stfu and lower the enemy's morale.
The idea is that it is a truck that can be built from a production building, but only 1 is allowed on the field at a time.
It works kind of like the USSR medic truck. It has to lock down to take effect, so it can't just kite around with its penalty effects, which would make it OP. Once it locks down, enemy infantry in a large area around the truck move slowly, sort of like British infantry sections in enemy territory, and also have reduced accuracy.
Optionally we could also give it a prop war ability that costs 100 munitions but a very long cool-down in comparison to the Wehrmacht Terror Doctrine's. ofc one could also give it some other unique ability instead if it seems too much like copy-cat.
How much accuracy is penalized and the HP and speed of the truck could be adjusted accordingly to balance, but I believe the area of effect should be fairly large; large enough so that it would take a while for enemy AT squads (under the movement penalty) to reach the truck. If the area of effect is not large enough a few AT squads could take it out in 2 seconds since it has to be locked down to work.
On the other hand, it cannot just unlock and run from battle very easily because it has the unpacking time of a British truck, so it still needs to be used with caution and good judgement; one cannot expect to use it everytime and escape easily once enemy infantry win the battle.
