To, co jest oczywiste dla autora nie musi być czytelne dla odbiorcy.

: Zdaje się, że chodzi o pododdziały armii Stanów Zjedn. stacjonujące w Niemczech - tak wynika z innego pytania. Jeżeli tak, to tłumaczenie niecelne./Z pytania "nad Wisłę" wynika, że US Army. Może Szan. Pytaczka zechce wyjaśnić?

1) Thank you. 2) You are right. 3) zza Odry is not on the other side of the river but the whole country on the other side of the river.

A simple option: it deals with the metonymy which might not be clear (or not immediately clear, anyway) to a non-Polish reader without implying that the units were actually German.
Also, I have a (personal) feeling that such figures of speech sound more affected in English than in Polish.
