Many Germans fled from Poland during the interwar period
That's not true.
They emigrated during several months long window between the signing of the Versailles Treaty and the moment when Polish administration took over. So they left the area during the time when it was still under German rule, but it was known that it was going to become Polish.
They did not leave under any pressure (except for their own disgust at the thought that they would live in a Polish-ruled state).
After 1921 Germans were no longer emigrating en masse. Those who left mostly left in 1918-1920.
