Playing the Germans in the D-Day campaign. When Brest, Lorient, et. al., become isolated after the WA breakout, should I disband their depots?

No ...
They not only act as places to receive supplies but also store any supplies already there. So if you disband the units will go out of supply fairly quickly. I forget the exact rules but when a depot is disbanded some of the supplies are allocated to local commands and the rest is moved back to the National Supply Source. If this can't be done (isolation etc) then they are lost.
