That's really interesting. I'd never considered where Germany would find experienced commanders to support their role in NATO and be the front line with the Soviets. It's obvious in retrospect I suppose.

It's very similar to people like Werner Von Braun that went to the US, were key to the space race, but also key to advancing the technology that went into military missiles etc.
