Germans were subject of expulsion or even genocide during the war, while soviet troops were entering to territories inhabited by germans. But after the war they were not killed in masse, except in the Soviet Union, where former prisioners of war died in great numbers. Also germans of Volga and from the baltic states were expulsed from their lands and their number was reduced as result.
Since most germans were expulsed from eastern Europe, is difficult to estimate a death rate in those countries, because after the war no german was living there.

Maybe you won't find a higher death rate after the war outside the Soviet Union. But for those who died in the gulag you might use this graph as reference.
