Given that the German word is scheisse -- obviously cognate -- see, e.g., Irish shite -- I think shit is just good old Anglo Saxon.

And that's without cracking me Websters.

Not to be a spoilsport or anything, but then again, it might not. My usual suspect source on words, www.onelook.com, now seems to link in www.etymonline.com for etymology; that particular source seems to have picked up on your source, as you might estimate from the red highlights in etymonline.com
