German ydna map from Ftdna Germany project

Okay.

However, what sense does it make if no Haplogroup tests were done in pre-WW1 German Empire ? Useless.

What do you mean? The map shows birthplaces of most distant ancestors.

For example it shows where was your father's father's father's father born.

As if haplogroups were tested in the German Empire!

They weren't, but most people today know where did "their haplogroup" live in 1914.

For example I know.

Great. The question is why it shows the borders of the German Empire and what it politically implies by this.

Judging by the red area - it implies that Polish-German border should be at the Elbe, not Oder.

Okay. Very similar to Germany 1939. A very nationalist map. As if haplogroups were tested in the German Empire!

Pre-1945 borders are a better reflection of historical settlement patterns than modern borders, which were created at a whim by Stalin for no real reason.

Peterski do you have regional YDNA for Germany? Like this one you posted for Lower Saxony a couple years ago.
