Over Yom Tov I saw two people using Rodelheim Siddurim. I pointed out 
to them that their Siddurim has the "Leshaim Yichud" before Sefiras 
Ha Omer." I do not believe that this was said in the "good old days" 
in Germany. Indeed, to the best of my knowledge the "real Ashkenaz 
Nusach" never had any Leshaim Yichud in it anywhere.

Apparently the versions of the Rodelheim Siddur printed after the war 
have become Chassidized! >:-}
