There are many books on the last year of Nazi Germany. Some of the most useful for wargaming the German side are those written or edited by Tony le Tissier (served as translator for interrogations and was Governor of Spandau Prison post war) as they give (mainly) the German point of view. Bear in mind the political and cultural biases of the Germans who had lived under Nazi rule when reading them (and also the Soviet Russian sources that are becoming available now).
What comes over is the dense smoke, dust clouds, constant threat of artillery/mortar/rocket attack from both sides, command confusion, disorientation and horrific conditions coupled with dreadful casualties on both sides to make both sides adopt the tactics described the previous post. Of course, the Red Army also employed tactics similar to those used in Stalingrad with considerable success.
In several of le Tissier’s books reference to Volkssturm and HitlerJugend being issued with SS, Heer or any other available uniform, an armband or nothing at all to identify them. So your selection could well be anything from a Volkssturm unit to an elite SS one without changing anything.
