agree  Hans-Bertil Karlsson (X): Nog är vi tyskar från början. Men våra förfäder måste varit "dumma". Tänk bara att ge sig av från varmare länder för att bosätta sig här bland is och snö :-(

göter


Explanation:
Just a thought... Is the asker talking about Goths as a whole, or about göter, as in svear and göter? Although göter should be translated as Geats it could very well be the case, depending on the timeframe and the geographical location for these particular Goths...
