Kortlandt:
"Saskia Pronk-Tiethoff has made clear that there are no Proto-Germanic loanwords in Proto-Slavic because “the two homelands were at best about 900 kilometres removed from each other” (2013: 72). The Proto-Germanic homeland can be identified with the area between the Erzgebirge, the Thuringian Forest, the Harz
and the river Elbe (cf. Udolph 1994: 925f.) and the Proto-Slavic homeland with historical Galicia (cf. Udolph 1979: 619-623)."

And here we go again to Udolph. It is circular.
Kortland didn't make any research about the problem. He simply referenced Udolph.
