I didn't think I said that, but I'll take credit for it, just like the PFC taking credit for the retreat of the German corps that had been backing the US XI Corps. That could be an interesting area for a PC group's exploration, the zone west of the American new cantonment and the Oder River. Maybe some gear got left behind, and it would be no-man's-land between the Americans, the PFC, and any Soviets that were following the retreating Germans (a pair of cavalry divisions, IIRC?). Now I think on it, doesn't the Danish Jutland Division go home between July and October, either thru there or by sea?

Not sure what you mean here, since the US XI Corps didn't leave during Op. Omega?

The flag+anchor is probably as good an emblem as any other, I'll hang on to that idea.

Going Home, p. 38:

Quote:
Each character may take up to 100 kgs of personal property.
Certain items must, however, be turned in to the high command.
These include food, heavy weapons (including ammunition and
spares for these weapons), vehicles (and spares), medical equipment
and supplies, and fuel (of whatever sort). Food and medical
supplies will be placed in a centralized storage facility and issued
as needed. Vehicles, and other bulk supplies will be left with
the German army in Bremerhaven.
The characters are told they
will be re-equipped when they arrive back in America.
(Emphasis mine.)

Yes, that was the deal negotiated between MilGov and the German Government. And frankly it would have been a price MilGov happily paid. Without a great deal of German support and assistance, the evacuation would have been much more difficult at best, impossible at worst.
