Do Germans are genetically more similar to Scandinavians or French?

I know the question is stupid and probably there another thread about this, but I didn't found, I was just wondering

Depends on the regions. Some closer to French, other to scandinavians and easterly to Poles

Germans are genetically closer to the French obviously. Since both are predominantly Western and Central European genetically.

The ones from Schleswig-Holstein might be closer to Scandinavians and the ones from Rhineland closer to France, actually closer to the Low Countries.

Overall average is quite closer to France.

For a better picture, let us compare their genomic pictures:

French (Only for ethnic French people, not others!) genome:
Western & Central Europe = 59%
Southern Europe = 21%
Great Britain & Ireland = 7%
Eastern Europe = 5%
Jewish Diaspora = 3%
Scandinavia = 2%
Northern Africa = 2%

German (Only ethnic Germans) genome:
Western & Central Europe = 42%
Eastern Europe = 16%
Scandinavia = 14%
Great Britain & Ireland = 11%
Southern Europe = 6%
Finland & Northern Siberia = 6%
Jewish Diaspora = 5%

Dutch (Only for ethnic people of the Netherlands) genome:
Western & Central Europe = 59%
Great Britain & Ireland = 19%
Scandinavia = 13%
Eastern Europe = 6%
Southern Europe = 3%

North Germans are closer to Scandinavians.

Germans from Schleswig are actually just Germanized Danes, for the most part:

Oldenburg (Starigrad) was formerly Slavic land. I didn't know. Ten years ago I had an internet friend from there. Little does he know he'll be soon part of the Polish Empire.

EDIT: He was from the other Oldenburg, not from Oldenburg in Holstein.

whatever, new Polish EmpiR1e will take everything

PS: I don't think east Germans are exactly same like Poles. More like Czechs or more northwest shifted-Hungarians. Poles are more northern on average than them, and actually closer to north Germans if I remember well.
