I've heard contradictory things, on the one hand that Hunnish pressure pushed the Goths and some other Germans into the empire, yet I've also heard that the Huns held down the Goths to a great extent and the collapse of the Hunnish empire released Gothic-Germanic energies to finally topple the west Roman Empire.
