and compare it with a group of Poles (on the left) from early 13th century.

The hairstyle is both strikingly similar and unique.

That's actually quite plausible considering the continuity of settlement in Central Europe. Languages and elites changed and shifted, the bulk of population remained the same.

Bull-fucking-shit.
Slavs came from the swamps of Pripet and outbred all the Germanics, who were few in number to begin with because they had immigrated to other lands.
Poles are not the same as Goths.
Czechs maybe a little but not Poles.

>There appears to be a striking continuity of culture.

yes because western slavs were germanised by the HRE. Same reason they're catholic and not orthodox. Of course there is a lot of admixture but the poles are a pretty distinct group from the germans. If anything, eastern germans are descendents of slavs.

divided by centuries, shitty unclear artwork, you are leaping to conclusions

The Goths were originally from Scandinavia, but they might have intermixed with the local populations as they migrated southwards and adopted their customs.

The Romans said that Slavic and Germanic tribes had an indistinguishable material culture

They pretty much named the Balto-Slavs as (east) Germanians.
