So, no, Germany won’t have any valid claim as Alsace-Lorraine was French even before the State of Germany existed. But don't mind me, I was just fixing a minor historical mistake. Carry on.
I do know that the French limited themselves to annexing only what Germany annexed during the course of WW2 Actually the french went further, as they did not annex the Saar, which had been under French control before the war. The French set up a protectorate, which they eventually returned completely to West-Germany following a referendum(not God's will). The history of that entire region has changed back and forth so many times it's dizzying to an outsider(like me), dating all the way back to the "Age of Extreme Number of Tiny States Noone Can Possibly Keep Track Of".

The Dutch also made a request to annex a large part of Germany, which was denied. They eventually annexed a much smaller part, which was later handed back to West-Germany.
