It's a bit complicated but here goes! Those Asians were Koreans held in Japanese POW camps. Japan and the USSR fought a series of border skirmishes between 1938-39, the Soviets "liberated" POW camps in Chinese territory occupied by the Japanese but kept the prisoners and conscripted them into the Red Army! The Korean soldiers were than captured in the early stages during the Battle of Stalingrad! The Germans than conscripted them into the Wehrmacht! Hitler believing the real European invasion would be a Calais, France had his best troops stationed there! Normandy troops consisted of only half Germans, the rest were conscripts from Poland, Czechoslovakia, Russia and those handful of Koreans! Hope this helps!

Actually against 4th Infantry and 101st Paratrooper divisions fought 2 or 3 "Ost-Battalion"' s At least one of them was Georgian (country in Caucasus region) and others were formed from "non-Russian" Soviet PoWs. There were not only Koreans, but (most of the time) Buryat, Kalmyk and other people from Central Asia, South Ural region and Siberia.
