 :The removal is perfectly correct, the theory is highly dubious and the passage was completley unsourced.  I believe the references at the end of the passage are only accidentally attached through poor editing over the years.  But even taking them at face value, the first is to Tacitus, who only says that the Chatti were scared of the Cherusci, and the second is a (now deadlink) page of the Asatru Folk Assembly.  In my opinion, contributions from anyone who believes that organisation is capable of producing a reliable source should be deleted with extreme prejudice without bothering to read.  But in the spirit of WP:AGF I searced for archive copies of the page, which told me only that the Cherusci no longer exist. 

 :And will contributors to this page please read WP:INDENT, you have turned the page into an unreadable wall of text. '''''' "
