Well, this is a really complex topic and I am still struggling to find really convincing theories after researches about the gen-pool proofed most things scientists would have never disputed a few years ago, totally wrong. Like the irish beeing celtic.
Still there has never been a genetic research with too many people so lets dig out this thread in 10years again and see what scientists believe then, maybe the germans arent believed to be related to the germanic people anymore by then

Well if you take southern Germany it probably has strong ties to the Celts who lived there. I'd say only the more middle and northern areas would be for the biggest part still Germanic.

Meh. We have "strong ties" to every single ethnic group of Europe, since the Thirty Years' War.

What?

Most people in southern Germany were killed or died from the plague, while the survivors were raped by Germans, Poles, Italians, Scotsmen, Flemings, Croatians, Cossacks, Greek, Turks, French, Spaniards and Swedes.

Most? More like 15-30% which is still an extremely high figure. Although I have read somewhere that Württemberg was particularly hard hit I dont remember the figure though.
