Kętrzyński Strikes South

Here is Wojciech Kętrzyński’s attempt at locating Slavic place names in south Germany, Western Austria and Switzerland:

 To the East of the green line we have Slavs, Germans in parts of Austria and more Slavs in southern Austria.  Ketrzynski  was not interested in those areas since their Slavic history (or present) were well known.

So once we combine the North and the South, this is what we get – again West of the Elbe-Saale/Solawa line (and we now have Krakow by Duisburg in there too – see the circle).  As we said before, Kętrzyński did not include any non-German speaking countries so the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, France and Britain are left out of this:
Or:

We will have more to say about this.  But in the meantime the Norican theory of Nestor and the Vindelici theory are looking mighty appealing.

Did we mention that there was a theory that derived Germani from Gera/Gora, i.e., mountain?  That is mountain men?  (e.g., Gorale).
