@Dog 6 and Rainbow 6: Thanks guys.
@Atiff: Thanks for sharing your work. A population of 8000 would still work for my vision of Elblag.
Assuming that Elblag was in fact nuked, I think it's safe to say that it was a relatively small airburst type of device. Perhaps it detonated a little off target, sparing the city some destruction. Perhaps it was aimed at the port/industrial facilities at the city's north end, resulting in less damage to the road nets to the south (or vice-versa)
@Leg: Although Krakow proper did not get hit, the industrial suburb right next door-Nowy Huta, IIRC (they're basically conjoined)- did.
Canon clearly states that the Marines were making multiple landings along the Baltic coast. My Operation Limerick is but one of them (the easternmost, in fact). I envision the main effort being closer to the ruins of Gdansk, at the SE neck of Polish 1st Army's coastal pocket.
