The % aren't exactly huge in Germans either, if there was a marker in all Germans, then yes, the data would support such a statement.
Since I1a if found in 1/4 Germans, then the 2.6% of Germanic blood carrying the I1a marker only represent 25% of Germanic blood existing in N.Italy, thus multiplying by 4 gives 10.4% Germanic blood in N.Italy.
In the late imperial period, they were predominantly Germanic peoples (not "German").

The Hanseatic league provided Swedish commerce and administration with a large number of German speaking immigrants.
Many became quite influential members of Swedish medieval society, and brought terms from their mother tongue into the vocabulary.
Cross-borrowing from other Germanic languages is also common, at first from Low German, the lingua franca of the Hanseatic league, later from High German.

The Germanic languages is a subfamily of the Indo-European family of languages, which were spoken by about 420 million people in many parts of the world (chiefly in Europe and the Western Hemisphere).
Strong evidence for the unity of all the modern Germanic languages can be found in the phenomenon known as the first Germanic sound shift or consonant shift (also called Grimm's law), which set the Germanic subfamily apart from the other members of the Indo-European family.

 East Germanic language - Freepedia
East Germanic languages are a group of Indo-European languages in the Germanic family that were spoken between the Oder and the Vistula rivers in Europe, by a group to tribes generally also called East Germanic.
Information is sketchy regarding many East Germanic Languages as all are extinct and only one (Gothic) ever existed in written form.
There are however, similarities shared by many North and East Germanic languages to suggest that the migration of the East Germanic tribes from Scandinavia was later (600 - 300 BCE) than the departure of the tribes usually grouped as West Germanic (1000 - 500 BCE).

 East Germanic language - free-definition
The East Germanic languages are a group of extinct Indo-European languages in the Germanic family.
The only East Germanic language of which texts are known is Gothic; other languages that are assumed to be East Germanic include Vandalic, Burgundian, and Crimean Gothic, which survived until the 18th century.
Based on The Origin and Deeds of the Goths, on placename evidence, and on archaeological evidence it is assumed that the speakers of East Germanic languages migrated from Scandinavia to the area between the Oder and the Vistula rivers.

 Rugians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rugians (Latin rugii) were an East Germanic tribe whose ultimate origins have been traced to Rogaland in Norway, whose population probably was the Rugii that Jordanes mentioned as a tribe that still remained in Scandza.
However, at the time of Jordanes, there were many Rugii in Italy whose tribe had made a long journey to arrive there.
The connection is further supported by the fact that an old name for the province was Rygiafylke (y is an umlaut of u, like the German ü in Rügen).

 Germanic
The speakers of Germanic were not literate, so they left us no written records for study.
Bordering them to the east were the Saxons, occupying much of what is now lowland and coastal Germany.
By the time that the spread of Germanic was at its peak, the Germanic language was so far flung geographically that it was inevitable that dialects would have arisen and that these dialects would eventually become mutually incomprehensible and thus comprise separate languages.

Historical evidence suggests that both Vandalic and Burgundian were East Germanic, but the few proper nouns that remain do not allow a positive identification.
The former gave rise to Norwegian, Faroese, and Icelandic; the latter gave rise to Danish and Swedish.
Large-scale writing of a Germanic language did not occur until the fourth century CE, when the missionary Wulfila assembled an alphabet from Greek, Latin, and Runic and began to translate portions of the New Testament into Gothic.

Icelandic and Norwegian are descended from Proto-North Germanic, a separate branch of Germanic.
This list isn't intended to be exhaustive, even for families like Germanic and Italic.
For example, English, Dutch, and German have a common ancestor which we label Proto-West-Germanic, and thus belong to the West Germanic branch of Germanic.

 Gothic language
A rather archaic phonetic system: Germanic stops were preserved here together with their specific fricative allophones (t / ð); the Common Germanic *é also remained in Gothic, though disappeared in all other Germanic languages.
Gothic is the only Germanic language which preserved reduplication in the 7th class of strong verbs (haitan - haihait 'to call - called').
The noun has all four Germanic cases, adjectives and pronouns also preserved the instrumental case.

 Gothic language on Encyclopedia.com
dead language belonging to the now extinct East Germanic group of the Germanic subfamily of the Indo-European family of languages (see Germanic languages).
Gothic has special value for the linguist because it was recorded several hundred years before the oldest surviving texts of all the other Germanic languages (except for a handful of earlier runic inscriptions in Old Norse).
Thus it sheds light on an older stage of a Germanic language and on the development of Germanic languages in general.

 Language in India
The Germanic branch may be divided into three groups or subdivisions: East Germanic which consisted of Gothic, now an extinct language; North Germanic under which we include the Scandinavian languages; and West Germanic which consists of High German, Low German, Frisian and English.
Within this family, English is a member of the Germanic branch.
Old English was clearly Germanic, but it had borrowed many words already from Latin.
