I have a similar situation in my T2k canon (OLEFIN AVERT YOUR EYES) with Belgium: there's a core of Belgian citizens and the bulk of the military that want to stand with NATO, but the central government was destroyed when NATO HQ in Brussels was hit, so the whole nation is fractious. However enough of their armed forces remain as a force-in-being in Germany on the German/Belgian border, maintaining what security they can against French incursion there, looking longingly at their former homeland.
Once things stabilize in Europe by the 2010s Germany's long-term plan is to hopefully use the Belgian expats and their military to form a sort of freikorps to force the French out of Belgium and reclaim their homeland. This gives the Germans friendly access to whatever resources Belgium still has (undamaged seaports, etc.), and gives Belgium back to the Belgians, and gives the Germans a buffer zone between them and France at least partially.
