where were the Germans if not in Germany, even if on the coast?! is the theory that they were so dense in the head that they went North into colder and more hostile lands, even though they were already South? then went SOUTH again? that's A LOT of population pressure.
that's like Indo-Europeans migrating from Anatolia UP into the steppe and going EAST then coming back down from the steppe back into Europe from which they came- that doesn't make any sense either.
we don't know much of anything of the Cimmerians.
we don't know much of anything of the Cimbri.
There is absolutely no apparent linguistic connection between the two except a coincidence in letters- there could be, but there is no proof of it.
it is really cool that you're making connections, because as you mention, most of academia is entirely too conservative (until knocked over the head wrong), but it has to be. the fun stuff is what you're doing, so keep doing what you're doing.
