    No, the Vikings don't speak Germanic languages, and the Vikings have a lot of indigenous European ancestry, and the Anglo-Saxons belong to the Indo-European race, so there is a big difference between the two Of course, later the Vikings and the British Isles were mixed, especially in the north of England and Scotland, and there was a lot of Viking ancestry.

    The Vikings** were Germanic peoples, who lived first in Central Europe and later in Scandinavia.

    The current Jutland Peninsula, which is the area of Denmark and northern Germany, was an important place for the ancient Germanic peoples. Of course, many of the tribes are still scattered in other parts of the surrounding area, and life in the early days was generally not easy.

    During World War II, much of Hitler's culture was inspired by the Vikings, such as the widespread adoption of the Lune script by the SS and the practice of Nordic rituals. In Northern Europe, Sweden and Norway also had many volunteers who joined the army of Nazi Germany, and they were fundamentally inspired by the same culture and determined to fight for the future of the Germanic people.

    The Vikings were Germanic.

    The Vikings also belong to a branch of the Germanic people in a broad sense, and the northern European weather is cold, and in the ancient Roman era, they relied on local products to make a living with the Romans.

    Viking Age

    The Viking Age, generally referred to as the period from 790 to 1066. Viking refers to the Viking of the time, who invaded the coast of Europe and the British islands from the 8th to the 11th centuries, covering the vast territory from the European continent to the Arctic, this period is known as the "Viking Age" in Europe.

    In English, the word was introduced from an 18th-century legend, and there is a theory that it may have been in the language of the ancient Norsemen, with "vik" meaning "bay" and "ing" meaning "from ......".Come", adding up to "Viking" means to do something in the bay. A "vikinger" is a person who does this kind of thing in the bay.

    Another theory is that "wíc" in Old English means "the city of counting", because some Vikings later settled on the British Isles and engaged with the locals.

    Era-defined

    From the expansion of the northern Germanic peoples from 790 to the conquest of England by descendants of the Danes in 1066, commonly known as the "Viking Age", it was a transitional period between ancient times and the Middle Ages in Europe.

    The Vikings were a group of navigators who colonized the Shetland Islands, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, and lived in Newfoundland in the Americas from time to time at the end of the 10th century. They were not only pirates, but also at the same time**, and even settled on the coast of Europe and on the banks of rivers.

    They are recorded as Byzantine mercenaries who conquered North Africa in 839. Their colonies were spread across Europe, including the Danish Quarter of England, Kievan Rus', Normandy of France, and more.

    It was only at the end of the Viking Age that independent states and kings emerged in Northern Europe, and at the same time, they also embraced the Christianity and began to enter the Middle Ages. It wasn't until the kings of Europe were powerful enough to resist Vikings that the Vikings gradually died out.

    It was impossible to make a strict distinction between plunder and ** in the Middle Ages. And in recent years, the remains of the city built by the Vikings in the past have been excavated in many parts of Scandinavia. All these show that the Vikings used different places as bases to engage in ** activities.

    Let's start with a few specific examples. About 30 kilometers west of Stockholm, Sweden, there is the island of Björk on Lake Mälaren in southeastern Sweden, on which there is a city of Birka. Birka is one of the Vikings' strongholds.

    Others, such as Hedby in the southern Jutland Peninsula of Denmark, York in the United Kingdom, Dublin in the Irish Sea, and Leon in France, are all urban settlements that are known for their names. After archaeological excavations, it was confirmed that these places were all ** strongholds. It can be seen from this that the ** network of Vikings is very large.

    It can even be said that the Vikings were the "Phoenicians of the North" in Europe, who integrated the North Sea and the Baltic Sea and its surroundings into a trading circle, and the Vikings even set foot in the New World of America. In addition, Scandinavian society during the Viking Age, in many cities, was characterized by a high degree of economic and social mobility. Historians ignore these facts and view the Vikings as predators because they use historical sources that have been interpreted by the Vikings who have usurped their lands.

    The Vikings (Old Norse: Víkingar), also known as Vikings, invaded the coast of Europe and the British islands from the 8th to the 11th centuries AD, covering a vast territory from the European continent to the Arctic, a period known as the "Viking Age".

    The Vikings were not the Germanic people who were often referred to as du, and both the Vikings and the Germanic dao were Aryan Hui.

    Descendants, the difference is survival answer.

    The Vikings lived mainly in northern Europe, while the Germanic people lived further southwest, in what was once Germany. The Nazis believed that the Aryans were the descendants of the survivors of the mysterious Atlanteans who fled the sunken Atlantis to the European continent.

    All belong to the Germanic race;

    The Germanic peoples, whose birthplace was Jutland and southern Scandinavia, gradually migrated to present-day Germania, Germany, and in the process of migration, merged with the Celts to form a new Germanic series

    and part of the Germanic branches, the English Saxons, crossed the English Channel and entered England;Most of the Germanic peoples expanded into continental Europe, the Germanic peoples we have today.

    So, the Vikings were the original Germanic peoples, the current Germanic people are the merged Germanic peoples, and the English Saxons are a branch of the Germanic peoples.

    The Vikings and Angles are all descendants of the Germanic peoples. So Hitler would have given preference to the Danes and the British, that's all
