Is that true that The Anglo-Saxons arrived into England from German Saxony, or maybe from South-East Sweden?

The Angels and the Saxons originally came from North-western ';Germania'; -- much of what is today Holland, Southern Denmark (Schelswig-Holstein), and Ruhr area of Germany.





It is also true that Norsemen (also known as Vikings) migrated, and (for a brief period) politically controlled England (but several hundred years after the Angels and the Saxons). The majority of Norsemen that migrated to England, Scotland, and Ireland, however, were primarily from modern-day Denmark. In fact, the Anglo-Saxons commonly referred to all Norsemen as ';Danes.'; There is a very famous quote from an Anglo-Saxon priest in which he prays ';In thine mercy o Lord, save us from the Danes.';





In Scotland and Ireland there were also a large amount of migrants from modern-day Norway. The Swedes, however, tended to migrate towards the eastern Baltic area, and the majority of their migration can be located in modern-day; Finland, Russia, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. The Danes and the Norwegians (Norway was actually part of Denmark until the 1830's) were the ones who settled in modern-day; England, Scotland, Ireland, Iceland, Greenland, France, and Italy.Is that true that The Anglo-Saxons arrived into England from German Saxony, or maybe from South-East Sweden?

DNA evidence has blown this traditional history sky high.


The Anglo saxons were just a tiny fraction of the population - like the Normans in fact.


They didn't come from Saxony which is well inland, but from the area connecting modern denmark and Germany.
Yes
Anglo-Saxon is the collective term usually used to describe the ethnically and linguistically related peoples living in the south and east of the island of Great Britain (modern Great Britain/United Kingdom) from around the early 5th century AD to the Norman conquest of 1066.[1] They spoke closely related Germanic dialects, and they are identified by Bede as the descendants of three powerful Germanic tribes, the Angles and the Saxons from today's northern Germany, and the Jutes from today's Denmark
I guess german is the correct answer
