Probably brought back by some German immigrant and hoarded before being stashed during the fighting in 1945.
From what I recall, the Wehrmacht was ready to surrender Stettin but the SS and Hitler Youth attacked the Soviets after a truce had been agreed. This led to the Soviets giving the city over to a few days of raping and pillaging when the city was finally taken.

Probably.
Lots of European men would travel to the US, work for a few years then go home, buy a farm and marry the girl next door.

No the Soviets raped and pillaged the civilian population as a general rule. They were utter ruthless in their treatment of German civilians.
