You’re indeed wrong about Germany, the different attachments don’t follow the iron curtain at all. Both west-and east Germany have regions with different attachment color.
Most of the regions with a strong regional attachment seem to correspond to the larger independent states before German unification in the 19th century: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unification_of_Germany. Mecklenburg, Wurttemberg, Bayern and Upper Saxony are all 4 recognizable on the map of the op. The bit below Denmark was ruled in a personal union by the Danish monarch before the unification wars.
France tried their best to split Saarland off from Germany several times, which might explain their strong regional attachment.

Well, at least I was right about me being wrong. I guess it’s Friday again.
Sorry, and thanks for the correction! Today I learned.
