File:Verbreitungsgebiet der deutschen Sprache.PNG[edit]

This map has no verifiable reference source to back any up the claims it presents. Also, in regards to Poland, Czech Rep, and Slovakia it show German minority in places where there is none. This can confirmed by looking at other maps (backed up by actual references). Also, I'm concerned that this misrepresentation of facts peddles to German nationalist claims in eastern Europe and Wikipedia is being used to spread misinformation, depicting alleged German minorities in areas and cities where they simply do not exist. I encourage any one to review the actual Wikipedia articles on this matter (check the reference citations) to see how factually misleading this map is.
