So, it is known that the Germanic tribes of Germania Magna and German culture in general originates from Scandinavia. The Scandinavian tribes went from their homeland and conquered south into the mainland of Europe killing or culturally converting the Celtic tribes there and founding Germanic and later German culture. There has always been somewhat of a north/south divide in Germany phenotypically and culturally (kind of like the North/South divide in the USA). The northern Germans phenotypically appear more nordic and closer to Scandinavians, they are more liberal, ruder, protestant, secular, and industrious while south Germans appear more alpine phenotypically, and are more hospitable, rural, catholic, religious, and conservative. The south Germans, Austrians, Swiss, Alsace Germans all seem to be in places that were home to Romanized Celts during the Roman era and were only conquered and displaced (either culturally or literally) after the empire fell.
My question is how Germanic vs Celtic, Slavic, Roman etc are the south Germans, Austrians, Swiss and other groups such as these? Do the south Germans predominately descend from Germanic tribes or are they La Tene Celts speaking German today?

What does Nazi bullshite have to with this? But if you read about the Nazi racial hierarchies they admit that south Germany was full of alpines. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism_and_race They wanted to selectively breed so that the Germans would be of pure Nordic type. In fact Hitler himself was an Austrian alpine.

Okay then... Back to the question. Are south Germans mostly of Celtic or Germanic descent?

My Great Grandfathers family was from Alsace Lorraine. I wasn’t sure if it was French or German ancestry. Usually on DNA tests they are grouped together also.
