I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but the search doesn't seem to be working at the moment.

If the Roman Empire fully conquers Germania up to about the Elbe, with intermittent control to the Oder, what effect would this have on the later 'barbarian' migrations into the empire and where they end up?

I don't know that much about this, but I'm guessing the German tribes would be assimilated/enslaved by the Romans, effectively removing them from the scene when the migrations happen. Without the German tribes, the Slavs are then free to move further west into Germany and possibly Gaul, making a predominantly Slavic Europe. Am I right, or is there something I'm missing. Thanks.
