[faltin2001]

Welcome to this list, which has been somewhat dormant recently. I
think your text below does contain a lot of misconceptions and
inaccuracies. Yet, Oskar provided you with a very good answer, to
which I have nothing to add.

If you read German, the latest book by Walter Pohl 'Die
Voelkerwanderung', Kohlhammer Verlag, 2002, is of greatest interest
for anybody interested in the Goths.

cheers,
Dirk
