Fascinating link. It mentions the later encroachment of la Tene and Germanic peoples upon this earlier Nordwestblock. The unnamed authors of the Wikipedia article state that haplogroup I1c is high in this area.

One of my ancestors, Steven Flanders, has a male line descendant ysearch T5JPR who is said to be haplogroup G. The region of Flanders is right in this Nordwestblock and I wonder if haplogroup G and haplogroup Ilc might both have been present in it in significant amounts.

Curious. A large part of that same region would have been covered by the
Harpstedt Culture, which is mentioned by Mallory (along with the neighboring
Jastorf Culture) in his "In Search of the Indo-Europeans", as one of the
cradles of Germanic (p. 87).
