Note the boost in E in the South and boost in I (presumably Germanic I1) in the West.

West Pomerania has almost as much E as the southern parts so I don’t see a linear increase in E as you move south.

A true R1a land
I think Poland may be even more R1a than Belarus (by a narrow margin).

Very high N for Podlaskie, probably many were from Suwałki area(close to Lithuania)

Here is the heatmap for my Subclade of N, which seems have entered the region long, long ago. It dips into NE Hungary, where my paternal line comes from. Still, as you can see it is very heavily associated with Poland and Western Ukraine, not really the Baltic region. Anything under the N-Y6075 subclade (which includes me) is sort of a "Slavic" branch of N.

Lubuskie (Lubusz) is full of I y-dna, I bet mostly I2a1 from Ukraine

That's a good point, which I somehow missed. They are a clear outlier.

It cannot be further away from the truth.
Why "I" from germanic lands would be among people from Ukraine,
in addition in much higher proportion than among Germans? Why?
It doesn;t make any sense at all. Like Ülev said...

I is at 23 and 25% in Lubuz and Lower Silesia, while in the rest of voivodeships it stands at 16% and lower.
Last time I checked, those two were on the border with Germany. Do I not understand something here?

Do I not understand something here?

A lot.
People living in Lebusland and Lower Silesia are migrants mainly from Ukraine.
In 1945 all, 100% people living there migrated to the West.
There is no reason to bind living there I-people with Germans.
These are I-people from western Ukraine, probably mostly I2.
And btw, I1 is not a germanic special haplgroup.
