Agree with what everyone has said. Germany doesn't have its own category and is a bit of a mixed bag. Although these maps and explanations will indicate that "Europe West" is the primary region for the area comprising Germany, I'm willing to bet you'll find an awful lot of Scandinavia and Europe East, and perhaps also to a lesser extent Great Britain, Italy/Greece, and European Jewish in some people.

The original Germanic peoples were all originally wandering tribes who migrated out of Scandinavia and down into Germany and adjacent areas, and before that occurred, much of the area of present-day Germany had been settled by Celts/Gauls, especially in the central and southern regions (who probably account for much of the Europe West DNA in Germany). Slavic settlements in the east and northeast would probably account for Europe East DNA, and more minor Roman colonization or Jewish settlements later on would've contributed Italy/Greece or European Jewish DNA.
