Would you need the USS Tarawa? Looking on the map you will see a great German seaport near the polish coast that you could use Peenemünde, the birthplace of the V-2 Rocket. The Germans and the US would then be able to conduct the whole landing using LCM or LCU's and maybe a few ro-ro ferries. Most landing craft and other small craft could be brought in using the Kiel Canal to transit from one side of Germany to the other and then down the coast.

You can also use this same method for troops leaving Poland for Germany during Omega. Szczecin is NATO in hands in 2000 so it could serve as evacuation assembly area.
