1. none of them is 100% Polish or else they couldn't play for another country
2. The region they were born used to be part of Germany
3. They have German ancestors (Podolski's grandparents, Trochowski's grandparents, Klose's father)
4. They were raised in Germany (Podolski and Trochowski more than Klose)
5. All of them starting playing football in Germany

I'd like to add that Trochowski pretty much doesn't exist anymore and that Podolski and Klose probably will leave the team soon due to their age.

Then it's gonna be time for the turkish again.

Podolski will have some more years for sure. Trochowski never really mattered in comparison.

About the Turkish, I don't see why you put the "again" there. The vast majority of German-Turkish players went to play for Turkey basically since Özil chose to play for Germany. Scholl being a big exception lol. Can't really think of any other semi Turkish player that played for the Nationalelf (before the Özil age).
