Are germans racially closer to eastern europeans or western europeans

[Hajimurad]

Depends on lands. Southern Germans (Swabians, Bavarians, Franconians), while having Gaulish and Huguenot blood, closer to South French and Northern Italians. Lower Saxons and Westphalians are purer Germanics closer to Dutch, English and Scandinavians. Eastern Germans (former Prussia, Mecklenburg and Saxony) has large amount of Slavic blood and closer to Poles and Czechs. But culturally Germany clearly is a part of Western Europe because cultural influences came mainly from France (Roman empire, Charlemagne's conquest, French Enlightenment and Napoleon's reforms).

Totally bullshit, south germans are not mediterraneans.

Lower Saxons and Westphalians are purer Germanics closer to Dutch, English and Scandinavians. Eastern Germans (former Prussia, Mecklenburg and Saxony) has large amount of Slavic blood and closer to Poles and Czechs.

All germans are closest to Dutch, English, Danes and far away from poles, even finns are closer to germans than poles:



Czechs are half germans with tons of german ancestry, i'm sure even hungarians are more slavic than czechs. Slavic influence is significant in Burgenland where many hungarian, croat and serbian people migrated and mixed with locals and some part of East Germany, rougly 5-6 million german have significant (so more than 20%) slavic ancestry other 80 million haven't.

South germans are not dinarid, but mostly alpinid + nordid amixed types or do you really think croats (who are alpinid + dinarid) and south germans look same? Don't make me laugh.

Dinarid is not the most common type among south germans, lol and many people are norid or alpinid on your pics. I love when a totally foreign person know better this region than a native.

Who is alpinid? Leni Riefenstahl? Max Planck? Manstein? Wagner? Grimm brothers? With their round heads, hooked noses and dark eyes? Only Woody's are Noric and Alpine. If you don't know Noric type is an basically Dinaric with light features. Russians often mocked Germans as having big hooked noses.
