Just as a development on this idea, why not make the
displaced zone be behind allied lines. Say it was
over-run early in the invasion and now sits within the
so called secured zone behind the front lines.

You could have German units suddenly turn up in a
place they certainly shouldn't, be spouting wild
claims and insane descriptions. The PC's could be sent
off on a scouting mission to discover where these
relatively intact units are hiding and then......

Or, you could have the PC's attached to the area as a
security team. They suddenly find themselves under
attack by German infiltraitors who are hell bent on
either recapturing the displaced zone or destroying it
(if there is a form of gateway required to pass
between the worlds) before the Allies learn any of its
secrets. This works better for a hellscape form of
world rather than strict fantasy. Perhaps harnessing
this hellscape gave the German military strength for
the overall conquest of western Europe, now that it's
been lost it can not be allowed to fall into the hands
of the Allies.

Say the gateway can only be sealed from the otherside.
Now we have the PC's forced to follow the
infiltraitors through the gate to the otherside
without really knowing what they're getting into.
After much adventure the surviving PC's return, to
find a rather hot welcome from Allied Command in the
form of the OSI who are more than interested in what
the PC's have to say and equally interested in the PCs
not telling anyone else. 

Cheers.
