Not quite.  The deleted entries are East Germany (Y2) and Germany as it
existed prior to September 17, 1973 (this was the date when the
East-West Germany split was recognized for DXCC).  

West Germany (post-1973) = current Germany (post-October 3, 1990).

See footnotes 18 and 19 of the DXCC rules.
