Yes, quite true. This will illustrate it:
My father's best friend is a Silesian, my mother's best friend is a Silesian, our mayor was a Silesian, my aunt married a Silesian.
So I indeed almost feel about being one of the last indigenous people of my generation of my region.

OK, perhaps it is more extreme in Germany, but the percentages of internal migrants from the map you posted (if I'm reading it correctly) don't look all that different from what would be the case in the likes of Britain over a longer period since the Industrial Revolution - there is the large-scale Irish migration to England, Scotland and Wales, the English migration to Wales and Cornwall, the Scottish and Welsh migration to England, the Northern English migration to the South, and the re-migration of mixed British & Irish and other whites from around the Empire back to Britain after decolonisation. All of whom are embedded by now. Plus with such recent migration in Germany you can genetically differentiate the 'pure' locals from the mixed or Easterners, t-sne cluster maps show it. And there must surely be rural areas in Western Germany that are largely unchanged since before the war.
Spoiler!

I think the British Isles are less diverse than the German countries. But it's true that Western Germany is full of people with one or two Eastern grandparents. Don't forget WW2 ended almost 80 years ago at this point. And I guess since the 90s the East is receiving some more patriotic/socially conservative people from the West because the former is less woke and less diverse.

Again i'm not saying that this study will be useless, i'm all for it, i'm just explaining that it the figures that we will get will not represent modern-day picture in a resonable way. As for comparisson with other countries, it's just can not be compared, not shure if you read the figures right, but right after the war 12-14 millions moved from EE, later in 1950-2020 4.6 mil moved from EE and exUSSR areas and 3.6 mil moved from Eastern Germany to the West, thing when you go to the countryside in France, UK or Ireland, it's still mostly natives for hundreds of years, in Germany it's really not the case.

I think impact of east German refugees may be overrated.
West Germany always had notably higher population and higher population density than the east?
