Seen this map before?

Ok, Maybe not this one specifically, but it still should tell you about what went down OTL

Drang Nach Osten & Ostsiedlung, I.E German settlement east.
I'm not gonna bore you with the explanation of why this happened (mostly because I know too little to add much). But as you can see, there are no Germans that settled or entered Scandinavia, well... there were Germans there, but never in the long run (Schleswig Germans aren't counted).

So, what POD(s) are required to make it so that the Scandinavian countries of Sweden, Denmark and/or Norway gain a German minority?

Scandinavia has always been underpopulated, which is why none of the Scandinavian countries successfully were long-term great powers, simply due to lack of manpower. This question is about if Scandinavians managed to get Germans to settle there. Essentially "growing" the underpopulated region withGerman settlers.

So how plausible is it?
