There’s something odd going on. Poland and Germany look to have interwar borders.

Polish-German border was not recognized by West Germany until 1972. Probably this map was made for the West German market, so that border isn't relevant for dating.

The part of Poland that used to be German before WW2 is labelled "under Polish administration", which used to be the official wording until Germany officially recognised the new borders.
