What if the ethnic Germans in Eastern Europe never got persecuted by the Soviets after WWII?

For Czechoslovakia: I don't know how typical this is, but in the Most District https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_District where "Settlers--mostly young and unattached-—came to work in Most's factories and mines, and to acquire German property...Settlers had little connection to the natural and built environment of Most, or to each other. This made them particularly amenable to the productivist identity advanced by the Settlement Office and leading Communist politicians. Indeed, the Most district gave Communists a commanding 58 percent of the vote in the 1946 election..." https://books.google.com/books?id=o-EZDgAAQBAJ&pg=PT135

I don't know if it would be possible to give any figures for Poland because the 1947 election figures were thoroughly falsified by the Communists.
Not sure how representative it is. For example in Spis region Slovakia in houses of expelled or self evacuated Germans (they were leaving as front was closing and not allowed return) Slovaks expelled from Poland were haused.

Things like this remind me what WW2 changed about Europe... Like it blows my mind sometimes how diverse Poland used to be
