The Polish map is fascinating. First observation - *most* of the areas in Poland which are both part of Germany pre-1919 and are not urbanized (so e.g. not counting greater Gdansk) were part of Germany until 1945 - the rural population mostly moved there from elsewhere in Poland (or, particularly from what _was_ Poland east of the Curzon line pre-1945, now westernmost Belarus and Ukraine). Voters there will tend to be the children and grandchildren of the internally displaced - might change the sociology (also land tenure arrangement post-1989 probably quite different).
No idea what is going on in the very thinly populated far southeast corner.
