Western Prussian German scores zero percent Western Europe. Do you have any idea why?

Could of been either way. Her family might of originally been German, but kept on mixing with Slavs, whilst keeping their German culture. A bit like how in Turkey you have Bosniak Turks who look Turkish, there ancestors probably came from Bosnia but kept on mixing with local Turks whilst keeping their identity through the ages,

But in that case it is not called as assimilation but called as interbreeding, as far as I know.

In the video, I also think the same as Peterski. The woman might be Germanicised Polish. Because, zero percent Western Europe seemed very atypical for an ethnic German, in my opinion.

Yeah you're probably right. If her ancestors had been Germans who interbred overtime she'd have at least a small amount of German ancestry.

Germenized Baltic peoples or polishised Baltic people?

"East European" on MyHerirage is a Slavic component, not Baltic.

"Baltic" is Baltic.

West Prussia was never inhabited by Balts, except for it eastern part (east of the Vistula).

In her results there is 70% Slavic and 15% Baltic, seems like a typical Polish result.

[Profileid]

She scored 10% western europe actually.

[Peterski]

She scored 10% western europe actually.

Which is less than average for ethnically Polish people.
