Same map, diff quality. http://68.media.tumblr.com/6bd3311358555a47eae5e594b76444a2/tumblr_ntdsmhRL581r81zmco2_1280.png … The red areas are before the German east expansion in 11-19 hundreds.
But, yeah, looks like they either included Dutch in Germans, or Germans used to live in NL area too. Not sure.

Sorta defensible on linguistic grounds, as Dutch, Frisian and German form a cluster. Other Germanics more distant (Scandinavian & English)

...migration of germans (or peoples who would become germans) eastwards (ostsiedlung) occurred in three-ish bands: north, central, south.

The Deutsch used to consider the Dutch as family and at times NL was part of Holy RE. The Dutch were never so sure about being Deutsch.
