I sometimes think that when BA invites passengers to spend 2 nights at their expense in a hotel rather than (e.g.) handing you a First Class ticket on LNER to NCL, they do so in the hope that people make their own arrangements. In your case you are OK to go with the flow, which is fair enough. If it happens again - hopefully not - then you can bypass queues, sort your own hotels out, and call BA when you're comfortable.
What hotels did they put you in? And what was the reaction on board when people were told they were off to Germany?
