WI: Earlier unified Germany pushes Danes out of Jutland

Is it possible than a Germany unified earlier (by the era of 30 years War) could have invaded Jutland, expelling the Danes to Norway?
 
Nope, since cant think of a case where something like this happened OTL.

Sure you can unifie Germany earlier, but expelling a whole region? Doubtful.
 
At best I could see an ambitious claimant to the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein decide to also claim Jutland as well with German backing. The population probably wouldn't be expelled, though an increased amount of German settlement there might be possible. The Danes wouldn't really be expelled to Norway just for losing Jutland though.
 
the latest POD i can see is 10th century where HRE vassalized Denmark.

By the point of 30 years war, Denmark had been Denmark for ~700 years, including Jutland and Scheswig.
 
Denmark leads a coalition uniting both the Lutheran an Reformed protestant states early in the 30 years war. The Danish King becomes HRE. Eventually Germany unifies under a Danish king.Not quite what the OP asked for but it does make Jutland part of Germany.

Expulsion of peasants was not common in Europe prior to the 19th century as fallow land generates no revenue

While highly implausible, given the fact that the Danish King were also duke of Holstein, hence a member of HRE (similar to the membership of Austria-Hungary, where only parts were in HRE) its not as ASB as it might sound at the face of it.
