It's a Germanic tribe that hardly can be confused with Turks.  |

The Vandals got nothing to do with the Turks nor the Iranians.

Germanic tribes roamed the western steppes. Gothic was found in Crimea for example.

Vandals ! That's interesting !  I know that they passed up from Central to western Europe and continued down south to Spain and then moved to the Arab countries ( Marroco,Algerie,etc ) You can find more info on internet i am shure. |

Vandals was one of the Germanic tribes originated in Poland. In archaeology we associate them with the Przeworsk culture (3rd century BC - AD 5th century). We know that they cremated their deceased family members and put a lot of weapons and metal objects in the graves.  And yes they migrated with the Alans to westward from Eastern Europe in 401. |

This video covers the reign of Geiseric, their king. It somehow doesn't really address their origin, migration and their alliance with the Alans.
