Croats more German than your average Slav, according to Hitler at least.

We are Slavic,although many people have some Kraut in the bloodline.

We are Slavic,although many people have some distant Kraut in the bloodline.

Krut=powder in swedish

No, we are not Germans, lol WTF, we are much better

Thing with Goth story, it was made up so we could be incorporated into German elite military troops, as they could be only of Germanic stock.
So it was purely political reason.

I stole this off http://www.slavorum.com/index.php/topic,788.0.html

That's what our scientists lately said in the newspapers (few weeks ago) according to this latest European-Union research

EU7
Croats 44,8%
Lapps (Saami): 41,7% <--- LOL
Germans: 37,5%


EU19
Hungarians 60% <---- Magyars turn to have most I-E EU19 genome by this recent study
Poles 56%
Ukrainians 54%
Croats: 29%

Germanic-Dinaric haplogroup (Eu7 or I) is the most frequent in West Balkans (to 73% in Dalmatia and Herzegovina), reaching across Germany northwards to Skandinavia (48 %) and eastwards to Caucasus (58 %), Kurdistan and Teheran (to 34%). It includes 4 similar regional subtypes. The Germanic-Dinaric haplogroup is divisible into the Germanic haplogroup (I1), which is most common in Scandinavia, and the Dinaric haplogroup (I2), which is most common in the West Balkans.

Other dozen genomic types indicated mostly in southern and eastern Europe there are rare, and they are more expanded and frequent in Asia and Africa being remarkable for other non-white human populations (in the next list added together as non-European: Neu).

In following comparative list, the participation of 3 main European genoms in fifty different ethnic groups of Europe and adjacent western Asia is presented. Related ethnic groups here are arranged after the decreasing percentages of all included European haplotypes. Symbols used: Eu = total percentage of all 3 European types, R1b = West-European type, R1a = East-European type, I = Germanic-Dinaric haplogroup, I1 = Germanic haplogroup, I2 = Dinaric haplogroup, Neu = total percentage of other out-European types presented, ! = genetic position very divergent from traditional cultural prejudices.

They claim because most of Croats belongs to the Haplogroup I, specifically haplotype Eu7 which is found highly among Germans (37%) and Lapps (41%!), and only secondly to haplogroup R1a that we have more population genetic wise common links with present day Germanics and Lapps...and to add that second Slavic nation to Croatia with most Eu7 is Poland (23%).

However the truth is that Haplotype Eu7 is was actually found in Europe, and is older than terms "Germanic" or "Slavic" thus it's found in lets say Slavic Croatia and Germanic Germany, however scientists nevertheless say that since that is the situation found today that Croats are due to Genetics more similar to Germans and Lapps than to Slavic neighbors. Nothing makes sense anymore, it's funny how everything in Europe is mixed today actually, you can even hardly say who is who according to genetics.

My personal thoughts on the whole matter are: Croatians should focus on being them selves and working in their best interest, every thing else is a distraction.

@derLowe

Its old info, I hg is not Germanic, but predates all of those tribal constructs, and languages, and our I hg is of different kind than that found in Scandinavia and north Germany.

[Onur]

There was once a theory about Croats supposedly being the descendants of Germanic tribes. Ofc it was a stupid theory and no one believed it but Hitler was probably using this argument to pull Croats to his side.

I am indifferent really, I just thought it was some thing different and odd.

Germanic? Who wants to be a Germanic? Being Slavic is the best gift anyone can be born with.

It worked since almost all Croatian officers of Yugoslavian army defected when Germany invaded the country.

I have strong aversion towards wannabism, so I am glad that you as a member of my tribe look at it indifferently

I am not a fan of it either, it is best to be a first class version of your self than a third rate copy.
