Danzig was not a part of interbellum Poland, unlike Upper Silesia. Policy towards Silesians and Mazurians was different, so before you accuse me of mendacity care to do your own bit of reasearch.
"The first mass movement of German civilians followed the Red Army's advance and was composed of both spontaneous flight driven by rumours of Soviet atrocities, and organised evacuation starting in the summer of 1944 and continuing through to the spring of 1945.[1] About 3.5 million people were involved, mainly driven by fear of the advancing Soviet Army.[1] In 1945, the eastern territories of Germany (most of Silesia and Pomerania, East Brandenburg, and East-Prussia) as well as Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany (especially Warthegau and Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia) were occupied by the Soviet Red Army and Polish military forces. Early expulsions in Poland were undertaken by the Polish Communist military authorities[2] even before the Potsdam Conference ("wild expulsions"),[3] to ensure the later integration into an ethnically homogeneous Poland[4] as envisioned by the Polish Communists.[5][6] Between seven hundred and eight hundred thousand Germans were affected.[1] Germans were defined as either Reichsdeutsche, people enlisted in 1st or 2nd Volksliste groups, and those of the 3rd group, who held German citizenship. About 1.1 million[7] German citizens of Slavic descent were "verified" as "autochtone" Poles,[8] 900,000 of whom natives of Upper Silesia and Masuria.[7] Of those, most were not expelled, yet hundreds of thousands emigrated to Germany after 1950, including most Masurians.[9]"

Noone is denying the expulsions. But they were conducted by Soviet and Polish communists.The German population was driven out in a merciless and swift fashion and the Bierut decrees regulated the systematic expropriation of German property by Poles.
In the specific case of Silesia, which I was talking about, yes they did - read the article in the link.No one looked at a Volksliste.
If you were German. In Silesia many people with some German ancestry were not classfied as "Germans" and were allowed to remain.If you was German you was outlawed, had to face grave criminal acts and had to leave your home and property.
And where do you see the gross flasehood?I don't have resentments against Poles but if gross falsehood is spoken I can't lean back and ignore it.
