Ein Banner ist das Kampfsymbol einer Einheit. Wenn eine feindliche Armee das Banner Ihrer Einheit eroberte, war das die größte Schande und der wichtigste Erfolg für den Feind.
Der deutsche Orden hat ganz Europa belogen, dass Polen immer noch an der heidnischen Religion festhält, und tatsächlich haben sie die Polen mit Überlegenheit behandelt. Leider scheint es mir, dass die Deutschen es in ihren Genen haben ;/
Fun fact. This battle take place five years before famous Battle of Agincourt. Where British surprised French with obsolete weapons. In fact 3/4 of Polish forces were armed in the crossbows. Only decade after that Czechs introduced they famous battle wagons armed in the canons. Literal Warhammer! East Europe is backward after all.
"Bogurodzica" ("Mother of God") is a religious song and was also battle song of Polish knights. It is a regarded as a first Polish "anthem" (from the times that real national anthems did not exist yet).
Choragwia jest znakiem jednostki wojskowej oraz symbolem sławy wojennej, tradycji, wierności, honoru i męstwa, których Ojczyzna wymaga od swoich żołnierzy.
I była miejscem do przegrupowania jednostek po rozbiciu, a sam chorąży był zwykle oficerem który pomagał sie zgrupować rozbitym siłą, więc były jednocześnie symbolem i znakiem strategicznym

Teutonic Knights LITERALLY were calling themselves best among the living, because, what they thought, they were GODS KNIGHTS. You, German guys always had a superriority complex. Roman Empire, Teutonic Order, Otto Von Bismarck, Hitler.
True and besides that this film was made in 1960, so in order for the Poles to make it, they had to get permission from the authorities, who were influenced by the Soviet Union. The USSR was always trying to blame everything on the Germans, so this narrative was advantageous for them.
@@olanieliwodzka I used a translator!!! Like every film, "Teutonic Knights" is also the director's vision. Of course, the film was shot under the watchful eye of the authorities, but the director himself had a lot of leeway due to the budget. Director Alexander Ford used history, archeology and weapons experts to capture the spirit of the era in which the story takes place. In the history of Poland, the dispute between the Crown and the Order lasted for a long time, over two centuries. It seems normal, then, that aversion to them has become entrenched in Poles' national memory. We must also remember how the Teutonic Knights were brought to Poland. Because the Masovian prince Konrad gave the nuns the Chełmno and Michałów lands on lease, leaving himself the entire princely power over these areas. However, the Teutonic monks used a number of political situations to their advantage and created their own state. In the following centuries, the Order took or plundered many of our lands. One of the many battles that the Crown had to fight against the Teutonic Knights in many wars was the Battle of Grunwald. And I'm rambling on this topic. There is no point in adding to the ideology because it so happens that Poles in the times of the Polish People's Republic could boast of probably the greatest cultural freedom in the bloc of communist countries. just watch other movies, listen to music, see what fashion looked like on the streets of Polish cities at that time. And the film, "Teutonic Knights", is really good for its time. He has entered the film industry, among the Legendary ones!!!
This battle is an interesting topic. In Germany it is called the Battle of Tannenberg. It was the biggest battle of the time. Part of Europe against Poland. It was a technological battle, it works but there was something more, e.g. a pontoon bridge. No one had made it before, it was like Lego blocks. The detailed description is by Jan Długosz and this novel was written by Henryk Sienkiewicz. They both lived near me. The battle ended with the slaughter of the Teutonic Knights and the knights of Europe. Later, because of this, this power fell. There is a lot of material about this battle. This is a very interesting topic.
Unfortunately, the victory in the battle itself was wasted by the Polish king, who did not immediately set out to siege Malbork. This was also caused by King Jagiełło's reservations regarding the increased importance of the Crown over Lithuania in the event of the liquidation of the Order. The Teutonic Knights therefore had time to build fortifications and bring supplies and a garrison. Suffice it to say that the body of the great master reached Malbork faster than the Polish army (the king of Poland sent it to Malbork with honors). Only after a few days did the siege of the castle begin, and the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Vytautas, withdrew almost at the very beginning. Ultimately, the siege was interrupted due to the outbreak of an infectious disease - dysentery. Długosz sharply criticizes the Jagiellończyk's mistakes. He indicates that he did not storm the castle through a breach in the walls and that he ended the siege when the defenders ran out of food. Unfortunately, it seems that the great triumph of Polish knights was wasted mainly by political games (fear of Poland's growing importance in the Poland-Lithuania Commonwealth). As history has shown, these political games were just beginning and continue to this day - all to prevent Poland from unleashing its potential...
@@Bula1910Lodz So many errors. 1. The fortifications of Malbork/Marienburg didn't have to be constructed. They were in place. And they were impenetrable by then. 2. Peace treaty caused the Teutonic Order to pay such a heavy contribution that it bankrupted the Order's economy. Heavy taxes imposed by the Order on the populace of Prussia switched everybody and his brother to support Poland in the next war. This is why Poland didn't have to actually siege Malbork - the King could actually buy the castle from the mercenaries manning it. Stomach it, there was a time when Poles were actually smart and rich.
12:45 - In middle ages, Main Banner by a symbol. If fall, its mean "we lose", and army can left battlefield. It's time when no by radio and no body can give orders in loud noises. If you see like you main baner fall - you can think "is over, time to run, and save life".
5:25 - Gift from two naked sword is a historic fact. This is not war symbol, but religious symbol - Battle by in 15 july a "the day of the sending out of the apostles", when apostles get two swords for defend all 12 apostles and Christianity. It's means - "We are defenders of Christianity. If you attacking us, attacking Christianity".

This movie was released in 1960 and was probably the first major historical epic made in Poland. It was directed by Polish director Alexander Ford. Given that it made a few years after WW2 it was very anti-German and hence the "heil, heil" utterances and veiled references to the Nazis. For its time the stunt work was amazing as were the camera's positioned on the ground to capture the hooves of the charging horse. Historically speaking the Battle of Grunwald 1410 lasted several hours and was one of the biggest battles during the Middle Ages. The Teutonic Knights included volunteers from the German states, England, Flanders and other parts of Western Europe but were not supported by either the rulers of Austria, Hungary or the Holly Roman Empire (today's modern Germany). For their part the Poles and Lithuanians had Sorbians, Czechs, Tartars, Ruthenians (ancestors of modern Belarusians), Letts (Latvians) and even some Saxons and other West Europeans on their side. Initially, the Teutonic Knights had the better of the Lithuanians who fled the battlefield but then they made the mistake of allowing a good portion of their cavalry chase after them only to get ambushed. As the battle wore on the Poles sent their reserves hidden from view in the surrounding forests. And, when the Lithuanians returned they attacked the Teutonic Knights from the rear. The Poles and Lithuanians had the Teutonic Knights surrounded and inflicted huge losses upon them and won the day After this battle was won the Poles gradually recovered much of Pomerania and the important port city of Gdansk established by Polish ruler Mieszko the First in 987 AD. Teutonic Prussia was confined to what is today mostly the Russian oblast of Kaliningrad and became a vassal state paying allegiance and taxes to successive Polish kings. Notably, many Prussians served the Polish and Lithuanian Commonwealth as auxiliaries in wars against Tartars, Ottomans, Muscovites, Swedes and the sometimes rebellious Cossacks in Ukraine. Interestingly, many Germans from Saxony and other parts of the Holly Roman Empire served as mercenaries in the service of Polish kings in most of these wars.

The banner is the sign of a military unit, a symbol of loyalty, courage, honor and bravery that the Homeland requires from its soldiers. That's why it was so important and had to be defended and protected.
That exactly, losing the banner was a critical moment, which could result with a mass retreat and chaos on the field, because Knights knew that the banner was always extra protected. Losing a banner was a sign of a bad position.
@@victorius_45 W ówczesnym czasie używało się pojęcia chorągiew i pomimo kwestii honoru i tożsamości rycerskiej.

Optowałbym za brygadą lub batalionem. W średniowieczu oprócz organizacji wojskowej- rycerstwa, chorągiew była, jak wspomniałem wyżej, znakiem państwa, ziemi, miasta, organizacji społecznej, politycznej, kościelnej, zawodowej itd. Od chorągwi pochodzą: Sztandar, flaga, bandera, proporzec, gonfalon.
Bogurodzica, a Polish battle song. According to sources, it was sung before the Battle of Grunwald in 1410. It was also sung during the coronation of Władysław of Varna in 1434 and before the Battle of Varna in 1444. It was also the royal anthem of the Jagiellonian dynasty in the 15th century. From that moment on, religious songs began to be combined with military songs, and Bogurodzica became a symbol of religious and patriotic unity. The author of Bogurodzica is unknown. The date of composition of the work is not known, it is assumed to have been in the 13th or 14th century

The Polish King who was leading the Battle of Grunwald was Władysław Jagiełło. He ruled in Poland in the years 1386-1434. Before becoming a Polish King, he was a Grand Duke of Lithuania, who married in 1386 Queen Jadwiga - starting the Polish-Lithuanian Jagiellonian Dynasty, being one of the most important royal dynasties for more centuries, ruling in more European countries. King Władysław Jagiełło in 1387 converted also Lithuania, being earlier pagan, to Catholicism.
OMG, most people would say I'm such a nerd, but I really love this movie!!! And it is my favourite school reading. It is really sooooo fascinating to see how those battles looked like.😍
The troops were deployed on a 3km long line! On the Polish side there were 30,000 cavalry! Imagine the trembling earth and this huge number of furious knights, armed with scabbards and with swords in their hands, rushing!
The Teutons with peacock feathers are "Komturzy"- also known as commander - the head of a religious house in some knightly orders (e.g. Teutonic Knights, Hospitallers, Templars). Later, in the countries of these orders - the administrator of a district, province (commandry), consisting of one or several castles and adjacent territory. In the Teutonic Order, prosecutors were subordinated to him. Teutonic Knights 51 banners: approx. 21 thousand mounted knights (including approximately 230 monastic brothers), 6 thousand pedestrians and artillerymen Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth 50 Polish banners: from the kingdom, Masovia, Płock, Bełz, Podolia, Moldova and Czech mercenaries, 40 Lithuanian banners: Lithuanians and Ruthenians from the Grand Duchy, Tatars of Jalal ad-Din (vassal of Prince Vytautas, khan of the Golden Horde. Son of Tokhtamysh), Lingwen's private banner (Lingwen Semen Olgierdowicz, prince of Lithuania, prince of Novgorod the Great and Mstislav, temporarily Smolensk and Krzyczewo, from the Giedyminowicz dynasty, brother of Władysław II Jagiełło); approx. 29 thousand soldiers (2/3 of them are Polish knights) Losses on the side of the Teutonic Order: 8 thousand killed 14 thousand captured Losses on the side of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth: from 2 to 3 thousand killed. EDIT: At one point in the battle, the Grand Master rode with his banners very close to the place where King Jagiełło commanded. If he had recognized the king, the battle could have ended badly - Władysław had only a modest unit with him (a few banners, I think). EDIT2: That thing about being above everyone else is because of Teutonic Knights's pride - they saw everyone who (according to THEM) was not Christian as lower, and they would then do everything to appear as teaching those ppl the one true way of living. But then would take everything from those ppl, and make them essentially into slaves... Not too different. Thieir pretext was religion, Nazi had their own pretext. Both of them cried: "Got mit uns!"
The author of the novel "Krzyżacy" ("Teutonic Knights"), adaption of which is this movie - Henryk Sienkiewicz - in 1905 received the Nobel Prize in literature for his whole life achievements (as it was stated by the Nobel Prize committee, "because of his outstanding merits as an epic writer"). He is one of the best known writers. There are film adaptations of more of his novels. One of his novels "Quo vadis" was even adapted into Hollywood movie (in 1950s), with well known in that times Hollywood actors, like e.g. Peter Ustinov (playing Emperor of Rome Nero). Later, there was another Polish movie adaption of "Quo vadis" (2001).

The Teutonic knights were not only Prussians but knights from all over Europe, as far as Belgium and further, etc. They were offshoots of the Crusaders, if you will, who were expelled from Holly Land and other countries because of their "unsavory" monetary practices. They were invited at first by Konrad of Mazovia, one of the Polish dukes, to Christianize Old Prussians, who were still clinging to their pagan faith and who were also very pesky to the province of Mazovia. In return, the Teutonics received some land in the Old Prussian realm. However, they turned out to be very cruel to the local population and kept expanding their territory, which became a problem, especially when Jagiello was crowned the king of Poland. So, this is, in a nutshell, the story. Flags were very important in the Medieval ages; they represented lands, clans, etc, so they were a status symbol. The canons were present, but at that time, they were very not precise; it took centuries for them to become more accurate; even during the Swedish Deluge, they were still not that accurate, although much more than in the Middle Ages, obviously. The purpose of a canon in those days, was more to make noise and scare the opposite side, as well as horses, and if they did hit the unfortunate fellow, even better. Also, honor was a thing to die for in those days, and in later centuries, men would duel with each other when offended.
Prusowie byli już wówczas wybici przez Krzyżaków. Nie mieli żadnych powiązań z Niemcami. Zakon Najświętszej Maryi Panny Domu Niemieckiego,został po wygnaniu z Jerozolimy zaproszony na Węgry. Tam tak sobie poczynali,że ich Węgrzy o mało co nie wybili. Uciekli do Polski,gdzie opiekę im dał Konrad Mazowiecki. Skasuj ten swój debilny komentarz.
Hi Chris! The reason why teutonics appear a bit like caricatures (or as you noticed a bit nazi-esque) is for two reasons: 1. The war was still a fresh memory to many when this movie was made 2. Poland at the time was lead by a communist government and there was a propaganda incentive to paint the westerners (including West Germans) as fascist warmongers (similarly to what russian propaganda still does today) That aside, the movie is still pretty great for 1960. Hab ein schönes Wochenende! Cheers!
But thry were warmongers. They couldn't accept Pope's verdict that Lithuanians shouldn't be opressed. They wanted to genocide them just like they did it to the Baltic tribe of Prussians
Interesting fact. A guy who brought the two naked swords was a squire of the Duke of Stettin, who joined the battle as a guest of Teutonic Order. Interesting fact 2. During the battle Order loses - Grand Master and almost all Orders elder. On Polish side - 12 high rank knights. All together ca 14 thousands killed. side
It's not just a flag, but the banner of the Great Kingdom of Poland, a very important symbol and type system of communication: if during a battle this flag is folded or falls, it means the retreat of the army, and its capture by the enemy is considered dishonor. BTW. Since soon (May 18) will be 80th anniversary of the conquer of Monte Cassino, I recommend You check polish military song "Czerwone maki na Monte Cassino" (Red poppies on Monte Cassino)
"Bogurodzica" is the first anthem of Poland and since that battle of 1410 until today it has not been broken in terms of the number of people singing this song at the same time. Ps in those days honor was more important than life, which is why they fought 1vs1 in this duel.
Powiedziałeś że nie byłbyś honorowym w walce ,tym się różnimy. My Polacy mamy Swój Honor i Świętości takiej jak Bóg, Honor, Ojczyzna i dla niech jestem gotów zginąć broniąc mojej Ojczyzny.
Also, both Teutonics and Polish at that time in 1410 were of the Catholic Faith; both sides reported to the Pope in Rome. The Reformation did not occur until 1517 with Martin Luther, although earlier attempts were present. I only mention this because Teutonics were somewhat represented as if they were of the Protestant faith; at least, the final battle gives that vibe. Teutonics' full name was The Teutonic Order of Saint Mary of Jerusalem; they were knights and monks simultaneously. One can only conclude, therefore, that they were not only "unsavory" in the monetary dealings or territorial expansions but much more. One can not be surprised that both Frederic the Great and Adolf himself were infatuated with the Teutons, perhaps for obvious reasons.

Because the movie was based on it. The author is Henryk Sienkiewicz. And the book was written in the years 1897-1900.

Old Prussians (Baltic Prussians) were Baltic people (tribes of Balts) that inhabited the region of Prussia. Since the first historical ruler of Poland, Duke Mieszko I (Xth century), Polish rulers tried to baptize these Baltic tribes, being then pagans. In 13th century, when Polish Duke Conrad of Masovia invited in 1226 the Teutonic Order wanting them to help in baptizing of these Prussians, they Teutonic Knights came there and the Old Prussians were subjugated and their lands were conquered by the Teutonic Order, that created there their own state.
1. The banner was important on the battlefield because it was the only sign of where our men were and whether we were still fighting, lost or won. 2 The Prussians are not the same as the Teutonic Knights. 3 The cutouts in the shield provide support for the copy, which is difficult to hold in one hand
@@MayaTheDecemberGirl one could say that Prussia was defeated. But in fact they were simply murdered by the Teutonic Knights. According to them, this is what Christianization looked like
Spears were rested in this cut in the shield to aim steadily while charging on horseback. During a foot fight, when the knight was taking cover, he looked through this cutout. The battle confusion flag allowed the commander to determine where combat units were during battle. Losing the flag means losing control over the combat unit. Greetings from Poland.
12:43 Treat the flag as the central radio station of the army. Using flags, orders were given at a distance. Such a system was used even when radio was already known, in the 20th century - the flag code in the Navy.

ta bitwa to tylko opis na podstawie jednego z największych dzieł literatury Polskiej pod tytułem" Krzyżacy " która została napisana w XIX wieku , Nie jest do końca pewne czy słowa wypowiedziane przez Króla Jagiełłę w tym dziele naprawdę zostały wypowiedziane ? Czy jest to pomysł Henryka Sienkiewicza , autora książki . Ale sam przebieg bitwy jest zgodny z danymi historycznymi . Co więcej, Krzyżacy nie byli Prusami, istniało wówczas państwo krzyżackie, było to państwo zakonne, które później przekształciło się w państwo pruskie. Istniejące wówczas tarcze widoczne w filmie zostały zaprojektowane do walki wręcz. this battle is only a description based on one of the greatest works of Polish literature entitled "Teutonic Knights", created in the 19th century. It is not entirely certain whether the words spoken by King Jagiełło in this work were actually spoken? Is this the intention of Henryk Sienkiewicz , the author of the book? But the course of the battle itself is consistent with historical data. Moreover, the Teutonic Knights were not Prussians, there was a Teutonic state at that time, it was a monastic state, which later transformed into the Prussian state. The then-existing shields seen in the film were designed for hand-to-hand combat.
Nie do końca tylko opis Sienkiewicza, ponieważ scenę przekazania mieczy opisuje także kronikarz Długosz. Co więcej, z kronik można wyczytać niechęć do Jagiellona, a jednak w tej scenie opisał go jako dobrego mówcę. Poza tym nie ma wiarygodniejszego źródła niż kroniki, przecież nikt tego nie nagrywał. Zatem nalezy przyjąć, że jest to fakt historyczny.
During the battle warriors would observe when the flag is moving and they had to follow it around the battle ground. It was a way of communication. By its position commanders can lead warriors and implement tactics maneuvers. Regiment flag is very importatnt and had to be protected at all cost. Commanders and high ranked nobels were usually near their flag.
At that time, there were no means of communication other than signs. The banner was a sign at which the commander stood and at which soldiers were to group. Notice that this is a crowd of thousands of people (half of whom want to kill you), noise and dust. When fighting, you move so that you are close to your banner. After its loss, the unit (which in the case of cavalry is also called that - "banner") is quickly dispersed, and the commander thus loses the ability to command.

The battle is epic. It is the largest battle of medieval Europe. This battle was the beginning of Polish's military power, which ended only some 200 years ago.
Read also about the Prussian Homage, called also Prussian Tribute, in 1525. It was the formal investiture of Albert Hohenzollern of Prussia, as a vassal of Polish King, with the Duchy of Prussia as a fief of Kingdom of Poland. He was the last Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights Order. This ended the rule of Teutonic Knights Order in Prussia, the Grand Master became a protestant and his duchy (being then a fief of Polish King and the Duke of Prussia his vassal) became a secular protestant state. On 10th April 1525 on the Main Market Square in Cracow (being then the capital of Poland) Albert Hohenzollern resigned as a Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights Order and received the title "Duke of Prussia" from Polish King Sigismund I the Old, and as a vassal he paid homage to the Polish King. There's a very well known painting, of one of the best known Polish painter Jan Matejko, titled "Prussian Homage". Such homages were repeated later. The last Prussian homage took place on 6 October 1641 in front of the Royal Castle in Warsaw. So up till 1657 the Dukes of Prussia were vassals of Polish Kings.
The flag is super important for cordination of the army. If you are a basick soldier in compleat chaos its nice to know where your comander is. And if your side is wining
The flag was the symbol and position of the unit on the battlefield. The flag was the signal for the retreat of the unit in the confusion on the battlefield, if the enemy had captured it and folded it, the knights could have perceived it as a signal to retreat, they would have broken formation, created a hole in the formation and could have lost the battle.
1:16 on the shields of knights who voluntarily wanted to go into the battle were the family crests showing from which family they come from. As Surnames then were not so popular, rather name with the name of your family place like here: Zbyszko from Bogdaniec were then more popular. Therefore in nobility families Crests were so popular and important as they represented from which noble family the knight came from, also it was a source of pride and honour of knight. Therefore they so fiercely defended crests on shields or on flags , because taking it away by the enemy was seen as a great insult and dishonour; this also dropped army's morale. second thing is that Teutonic Knights asked the most experienced knights of Europe to help with fight with us - both Poles and Lithuanians because Lithuanians were considered pagans until they got Baptized when their Duke Jagiełło married our female king Jadwiga, so Teutonic Order lost the exuse of staying on lands where they could not " christianize" by plundering and murdering Pagans anymore. Also the lands Poland got rights and even won Pope's Judgement case who ordered the Order to give back lands of Dobrzyń and Chełm that were originally part of Polish kingdom. it took nearly 300 years (1226 - duke Konrad Mazowiecki brought Teutonic Order and paid them as mercenaries to fight with Pagans on Pomeranian lands, however they decided not only not to give back the lands according to contract, but to stay and establish their own state. 1410 - battle under Grunwald destroyed the main forces of the Order and finally 1525 - Prussian Tribute of the Master of Order to Polish King Zygmunt I the Old made the Order the vassals of Polish - Lithuanian Commonwealth) 10:45 Bogurodzica is the oldest anthlem of Poland. the other song - Christ is resurrected was an anthlem of Teutonic Order 13:42 I guess this is for spear so you can attack with great force on horse and also shield yourself at the same time.
13:33 For sword or spear, so you can defend your self with shield and still attack from "save" spot ;). Like for example small window in tower on castle, you are protect and still can fight back.
Today in Poland there are recreation societies from various European countries that fight each other with real swords and axes in groups of about 20 men to a side. They chop and hack with real axes, swords and maces. You will then see how each weapon including the shield is used. These contests are very close to the real thing, but the participants can do anything except kill.
The song of Polish knights is Bogurodzica. a medieval Polish religious song and the oldest Polish poetic text preserved with its melody. The date of composition of the work is not known, it is assumed that it took place in the 13th or 14th century, although the first written text dates back to the beginning of the 15th century (1407). Since the 15th century, Bogurodzica also served as the state anthem in the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Today it is sung as a patriotic and church song.

Don’t get me wrong, but when choosing the topic of the Battle of Grunwald, you should better prepare for it - it is a very delicate issue for Poles in the context of centuries of occupation, invasions and partitions of Poland by the Germans
W 1409 była Wielka Wojna Krzyżacy walczyli z Polską i Litwą wtedy to 1410 była wojna pod Grunwaldem, a natomiast po klęsce Krzyżaków w 1411 był pokój Toruński miedzi Krzyżakami a Polską i Litwą. Bardzo fajny film bardzo edukujący.
The flag was very important because at that time there were no battlefield management and communication systems, the flag was a sign transmitting orders to the unit, folding the flag could be treated as a signal for the withdrawal of the entire unit. In the chaos of the battle, knights from a given unit tried to group themselves around their flag, and the lack of it could cause chaos and the unit's dispersion. ad2 The hole in the top of the shield was a place where a lance could be rested.
Grunwald was one of the biggest and most important battles of that times. Film was based on the novel written in 1897 by a Polish Nobel Prize winner. The battle was described based on a chronicle from 15th century (so dialogues are NOT contemporary !!) Unfortunately the film is very old. You can check 3 other films based on the historical novels of the same author: With fire and sword (Ogniem i mieczem), Flood (Potop) , Lord Wołodyjowski Pan Wołodyjowski) you will be amazed with the stories and battle scenes. Best regards from Poland

There were no Russians in this battle. Not even Muscovites. Lithuanians were the greatest enemies of the Muscovites. They invaded Moscow several times. There were several Smolensk regiments, but then and later it was either Lithuania or the Republic of Poland and Lithuania. There were Tatars on the Polish-Lithuanian side, but they were refugees settled in the Crimean Khanate after the civil war, to whom Poland and Lithuania provided support.
Teutonic order full name is The Order of Brothers of the German House of Saint Mary in Jerusalem. it still exists to today. Prussia did not speak German during the Teutonic era. They used the Baltic language, which is an extinct language. today we may know at most 2k words. Poles called them Niemcy, derived from the word niemowa, (no spaeking) because it was difficult to communicate with them. Today, Poles call Germans Niemcy because in Prussia there were Teutonic Knights who spoke German and the inhabitants themselves who did not know German language. just as we call Italian włochy from the world włosy(hair) because of Queen Bone who came to Poland from Italy and brought her knights who had long hair.
These strange shields are cavalry shields, you could hold a lance on it, they were used in tournaments, I don't know if they were used during normal battles.
Te wyżłobienie w tarczy to miejsce na kopię można ją tam położyć i masz podparcie w czasie jazdy ;These grooves in the shield are a place for a spear, you can put it there and have support while riding
This is a battle between the Teutonic Knights and the Poles in 1410. We won this battle. In Germany they don't teach about this battle because it is a disgrace to them to this day.
Dlaczego barwy klubów piłkarskich są takie ważne 🤣🤣🤣 dlaczego kibole są w stanie poświęcić dużo za swoje barwy za swój szalik ( kazda jednistka wojskowa ma swój sztandar który jest najcenniejszy i żołnierzy sa wstanie oddac za niego życie ,utrata sztandaru to zniszczenie jednostki
To też, ale poza symboliką należy pamiętać, że w tamtych czasach nie było telefonów czy internetu. Chorągiew to był symbol dla wszystkich żołnierzy należących do niej. Wskazywała umiejscowienie, pełniła ważną funkcję w menewrach. Pozwalały umiejscowić rycerzy "na planszy". Po prostu ruch chorągwią przekazywał rycerzom rozkazy. Zdobycie chorągwi oznaczało praktycznie rozbicie danej jednostki (tak jakby stracić figurę w szachach). Zwinięcie chorągwi oznaczało zatem sygnał do odwrotu. Utracenie z oczu chorągwi mogło mieć zatem fatalne w konsekwencjach skutki. Stało się podczas ucieczki z pola bitwy wojsk rusko(nie mylić z rosyjskimi)-litewskich. Krzyżacy jednak jej nie podnieśli (błąd w filmie), ale sprowokowało to ich do zaciekłego ataku. Ponieważ była to najważniejsza chorągiew to osłaniali ją najlepsi polscy rycerze (w tym legendarny Zawisza Czarny). Warto wspomnieć, że scena upadku i ponownego zdobycia chorągwi to jeden z kulminacyjnych punktów bitwy pod Grunwaldem, bo była to chorągiew Wielka Królestwa Polskiego (zwana także pierwszą chorągwią wielką ziemi Krakowskiej) - najważniejsza w bitwie. Wracając do szachów strata takiej to co najmniej jak utrata królowej. Król podczas rozwinięcia tej chorągwi przysięgał przed Bogiem, że to nie on, a nieprzyjaciel szukał wojny oraz, że "w imię Boga i sprawiedliwości swojego narodu" musi przystąpić do wojny i w imię Boga tą chorągiew podnosi. Dla ówczesnych ludzi symbolika miała ogromne znaczenie, przejęcie tej chorągwi mogłoby zasiać niepewność co do słuszności działań króla. Podczas bitwy chorągiew zajmowała miejsce na prawym skrzydle.
@chris.poland. You were close, not the Russians, but the Ruthenians, i.e. the current Ukrainians and Belarusians, they also took part in the Battle of Grunwald. After the personal union in 1385 between the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Lithuanians, Ruthenians (Ukrainians, Belarusians) and mercenary Tatar troops fought on the Polish side. "Here is he who, this morning, thought himself to be the greatest above all the mighty men of the world." - this is a quote from the book "Teutonic Knights" by Henryk Sienkiewicz, written in 1897. A movie was made based on it.
Funny is that song of polish knights in the beggining of battle is a pray to Saint Mary for victory against Order of Brothers of the German House of Saint Mary in Jerusalem . And they won :)
Krzyżacy means something like "man of a cross" krzyż means a cross in polish, therefore since their sign was a cross, they were called man/knights of a cross instead of their official name
Interesting fact: in those years, many Poles (due to vassal law) fought on the side of the Teutonic Knights. Even some Piasts (from the first Polish royal dynasty). It mainly depended on which side of the border they had most of their wealth on.
Interesting detail. It was the First Battle of Grunwald (German historiography considers the Battle of Grunwald to be the First Battle of Tannenberg). The Second Battle of Tannenberg was fought in 1914 between the Russian Empire and the German Empire, ending with a German victory.
The film itself was based on the book of the same title written by Henryk Sienkiewicz. He is known for putting effort into his works by, for example, visiting places written in books or drawing on historiographic works. I apologize for any errors.
It's cavalry shield, it has this cut/hole so you can put spear/lance through it I suppose, I'm not expert in this topic so someone correct me if I'm wrong.
0:25: The Commonwealth would not become a fact until more than a century later. What existed was the Polish-Lithuanian Union where both states were tied politically and headed for an eventual merger in the future but at the time still remained distinct entities. 1:18: Those are jousting shields, although I'm not sure this exact appearance is historically accurate. The slot serves to support the lance while charging 1:58: Probably deliberate. The Teutonic Knights are sometimes viewed as a product of the same imperialist tendencies that later contributed to the Partitions and WWII. Keep in mind that Sienkiewicz wrote the novel during the Partitions and that probably colored his outlook. Then add that the generation which produced the movie saw WWII with their own eyes. Lots of baggage there. 7:56: There is an account of the battle that states the Teutons brought a pair of siege cannon to the battlefield. By this time, gunpowder weapons were known in Europe for a century already. 10:47: One of the oldest recorded hymns in Polish and as far as I understand one of the country's first anthems. 16:19: That duel is actually important to the story. Maćko (the Pole) has a long standing grudge against Konrad (the Teuton). 20:44: Jagna is one of Zbyszko's two love interests in the novel.

Fun fact. This battle take place five years before famous Battle of Agincourt. Where British surprised French with obsolete weapons. In fact 3/4 of Polish forces were armed in the crossbows. Only decade after that Czechs introduced they famous battle wagons armed in the canons. Literal Warhammer! East Europe is backward after all.
"Bogurodzica" ("Mother of God") is a religious song and was also battle song of Polish knights. It is a regarded as a first Polish "anthem" (from the times that real national anthems did not exist yet).

True and besides that this film was made in 1960, so in order for the Poles to make it, they had to get permission from the authorities, who were influenced by the Soviet Union. The USSR was always trying to blame everything on the Germans, so this narrative was advantageous for them.
@@olanieliwodzka
I used a translator!!!
Like every film, "Teutonic Knights" is also the director's vision. Of course, the film was shot under the watchful eye of the authorities, but the director himself had a lot of leeway due to the budget. Director Alexander Ford used history, archeology and weapons experts to capture the spirit of the era in which the story takes place.
In the history of Poland, the dispute between the Crown and the Order lasted for a long time, over two centuries. It seems normal, then, that aversion to them has become entrenched in Poles' national memory. We must also remember how the Teutonic Knights were brought to Poland. Because the Masovian prince Konrad gave the nuns the Chełmno and Michałów lands on lease, leaving himself the entire princely power over these areas. However, the Teutonic monks used a number of political situations to their advantage and created their own state. In the following centuries, the Order took or plundered many of our lands. One of the many battles that the Crown had to fight against the Teutonic Knights in many wars was the Battle of Grunwald.
And I'm rambling on this topic. There is no point in adding to the ideology because it so happens that Poles in the times of the Polish People's Republic could boast of probably the greatest cultural freedom in the bloc of communist countries. just watch other movies, listen to music, see what fashion looked like on the streets of Polish cities at that time.
And the film, "Teutonic Knights", is really good for its time. He has entered the film industry, among the Legendary ones!!!

@@EXODUS-d2q RE was dope, no doubts abut it, but it doesnt change the subject of arogancy and ubermensch metality in German culture code.
This battle is an interesting topic. In Germany it is called the Battle of Tannenberg. It was the biggest battle of the time. Part of Europe against Poland. It was a technological battle, it works but there was something more, e.g. a pontoon bridge. No one had made it before, it was like Lego blocks. The detailed description is by Jan Długosz and this novel was written by Henryk Sienkiewicz. They both lived near me. The battle ended with the slaughter of the Teutonic Knights and the knights of Europe. Later, because of this, this power fell. There is a lot of material about this battle. This is a very interesting topic.
Unfortunately, the victory in the battle itself was wasted by the Polish king, who did not immediately set out to siege Malbork. This was also caused by King Jagiełło's reservations regarding the increased importance of the Crown over Lithuania in the event of the liquidation of the Order. The Teutonic Knights therefore had time to build fortifications and bring supplies and a garrison. Suffice it to say that the body of the great master reached Malbork faster than the Polish army (the king of Poland sent it to Malbork with honors). Only after a few days did the siege of the castle begin, and the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Vytautas, withdrew almost at the very beginning. Ultimately, the siege was interrupted due to the outbreak of an infectious disease - dysentery. Długosz sharply criticizes the Jagiellończyk's mistakes. He indicates that he did not storm the castle through a breach in the walls and that he ended the siege when the defenders ran out of food. Unfortunately, it seems that the great triumph of Polish knights was wasted mainly by political games (fear of Poland's growing importance in the Poland-Lithuania Commonwealth). As history has shown, these political games were just beginning and continue to this day - all to prevent Poland from unleashing its potential...
@@Bula1910Lodz So many errors.
1. The fortifications of Malbork/Marienburg didn't have to be constructed. They were in place. And they were impenetrable by then.
2. Peace treaty caused the Teutonic Order to pay such a heavy contribution that it bankrupted the Order's economy. Heavy taxes imposed by the Order on the populace of Prussia switched everybody and his brother to support Poland in the next war. This is why Poland didn't have to actually siege Malbork - the King could actually buy the castle from the mercenaries manning it.
Stomach it, there was a time when Poles were actually smart and rich.
12:45 - In middle ages, Main Banner by a symbol. If fall, its mean "we lose", and army can left battlefield. It's time when no by radio and no body can give orders in loud noises. If you see like you main baner fall - you can think "is over, time to run, and save life".

This movie was released in 1960 and was probably the first major historical epic made in Poland. It was directed by Polish director Alexander Ford. Given that it made a few years after WW2 it was very anti-German and hence the "heil, heil" utterances and veiled references to the Nazis. For its time the stunt work was amazing as were the camera's positioned on the ground to capture the hooves of the charging horse.
Historically speaking the Battle of Grunwald 1410 lasted several hours and was one of the biggest battles during the Middle Ages. The Teutonic Knights included volunteers from the German states, England, Flanders and other parts of Western Europe but were not supported by either the rulers of Austria, Hungary or the Holly Roman Empire (today's modern Germany). For their part the Poles and Lithuanians had Sorbians, Czechs, Tartars, Ruthenians (ancestors of modern Belarusians), Letts (Latvians) and even some Saxons and other West Europeans on their side. Initially, the Teutonic Knights had the better of the Lithuanians who fled the battlefield but then they made the mistake of allowing a good portion of their cavalry chase after them only to get ambushed. As the battle wore on the Poles sent their reserves hidden from view in the surrounding forests. And, when the Lithuanians returned they attacked the Teutonic Knights from the rear. The Poles and Lithuanians had the Teutonic Knights surrounded and inflicted huge losses upon them and won the day
After this battle was won the Poles gradually recovered much of Pomerania and the important port city of Gdansk established by Polish ruler Mieszko the First in 987 AD. Teutonic Prussia was confined to what is today mostly the Russian oblast of Kaliningrad and became a vassal state paying allegiance and taxes to successive Polish kings. Notably, many Prussians served the Polish and Lithuanian Commonwealth as auxiliaries in wars against Tartars, Ottomans, Muscovites, Swedes and the sometimes rebellious Cossacks in Ukraine. Interestingly, many Germans from Saxony and other parts of the Holly Roman Empire served as mercenaries in the service of Polish kings in most of these wars.

The banner is the sign of a military unit, a symbol of loyalty, courage, honor and bravery that the Homeland requires from its soldiers. That's why it was so important and had to be defended and protected.
and in the same time banners were used as place for soldiers to regroup after formation was broken
That exactly, losing the banner was a critical moment, which could result with a mass retreat and chaos on the field, because Knights knew that the banner was always extra protected. Losing a banner was a sign of a bad position.
@@victorius_45 W ówczesnym czasie używało się pojęcia chorągiew i pomimo kwestii honoru i tożsamości rycerskiej.

Optowałbym za brygadą lub batalionem. W średniowieczu oprócz organizacji wojskowej- rycerstwa, chorągiew była, jak wspomniałem wyżej, znakiem państwa, ziemi, miasta, organizacji społecznej, politycznej, kościelnej, zawodowej itd. Od chorągwi pochodzą: Sztandar, flaga, bandera, proporzec, gonfalon.
Bogurodzica, a Polish battle song. According to sources, it was sung before the Battle of Grunwald in 1410. It was also sung during the coronation of Władysław of Varna in 1434 and before the Battle of Varna in 1444. It was also the royal anthem of the Jagiellonian dynasty in the 15th century. From that moment on, religious songs began to be combined with military songs, and Bogurodzica became a symbol of religious and patriotic unity.
The author of Bogurodzica is unknown. The date of composition of the work is not known, it is assumed to have been in the 13th or 14th century

The Polish King who was leading the Battle of Grunwald was Władysław Jagiełło. He ruled in Poland in the years 1386-1434. Before becoming a Polish King, he was a Grand Duke of Lithuania, who married in 1386 Queen Jadwiga - starting the Polish-Lithuanian Jagiellonian Dynasty, being one of the most important royal dynasties for more centuries, ruling in more European countries. King Władysław Jagiełło in 1387 converted also Lithuania, being earlier pagan, to Catholicism.

14 thousand captured
Losses on the side of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth:
from 2 to 3 thousand killed.
EDIT:
At one point in the battle, the Grand Master rode with his banners very close to the place where King Jagiełło commanded. If he had recognized the king, the battle could have ended badly - Władysław had only a modest unit with him (a few banners, I think).
EDIT2:
That thing about being above everyone else is because of Teutonic Knights's pride - they saw everyone who (according to THEM) was not Christian as lower, and they would then do everything to appear as teaching those ppl the one true way of living. But then would take everything from those ppl, and make them essentially into slaves... Not too different. Thieir pretext was religion, Nazi had their own pretext.
Both of them cried: "Got mit uns!"
The author of the novel "Krzyżacy" ("Teutonic Knights"), adaption of which is this movie - Henryk Sienkiewicz - in 1905 received the Nobel Prize in literature for his whole life achievements (as it was stated by the Nobel Prize committee, "because of his outstanding merits as an epic writer"). He is one of the best known writers. There are film adaptations of more of his novels. One of his novels "Quo vadis" was even adapted into Hollywood movie (in 1950s), with well known in that times Hollywood actors, like e.g. Peter Ustinov (playing Emperor of Rome Nero). Later, there was another Polish movie adaption of "Quo vadis" (2001).

The Teutonic knights were not only Prussians but knights from all over Europe, as far as Belgium and further, etc. They were offshoots of the Crusaders, if you will, who were expelled from Holly Land and other countries because of their "unsavory" monetary practices. They were invited at first by Konrad of Mazovia, one of the Polish dukes, to Christianize Old Prussians, who were still clinging to their pagan faith and who were also very pesky to the province of Mazovia. In return, the Teutonics received some land in the Old Prussian realm. However, they turned out to be very cruel to the local population and kept expanding their territory, which became a problem, especially when Jagiello was crowned the king of Poland. So, this is, in a nutshell, the story. Flags were very important in the Medieval ages; they represented lands, clans, etc, so they were a status symbol. The canons were present, but at that time, they were very not precise; it took centuries for them to become more accurate; even during the Swedish Deluge, they were still not that accurate, although much more than in the Middle Ages, obviously. The purpose of a canon in those days, was more to make noise and scare the opposite side, as well as horses, and if they did hit the unfortunate fellow, even better. Also, honor was a thing to die for in those days, and in later centuries, men would duel with each other when offended.
Prusowie byli już wówczas wybici przez Krzyżaków. Nie mieli żadnych powiązań z Niemcami. Zakon Najświętszej Maryi Panny Domu Niemieckiego,został po wygnaniu z Jerozolimy zaproszony na Węgry. Tam tak sobie poczynali,że ich Węgrzy o mało co nie wybili. Uciekli do Polski,gdzie opiekę im dał Konrad Mazowiecki. Skasuj ten swój debilny komentarz.
rycerze krzyżaccy nie byli Pruami, oni Prusów (lud Bałtycki) wymordowali i osiedlili się na jego ziemiach.
Hi Chris!
The reason why teutonics appear a bit like caricatures (or as you noticed a bit nazi-esque) is for two reasons:
1. The war was still a fresh memory to many when this movie was made
2. Poland at the time was lead by a communist government and there was a propaganda incentive to paint the westerners (including West Germans) as fascist warmongers (similarly to what russian propaganda still does today)
That aside, the movie is still pretty great for 1960.
Hab ein schönes Wochenende! Cheers!
Thanks for explaining :)
But thry were warmongers. They couldn't accept Pope's verdict that Lithuanians shouldn't be opressed. They wanted to genocide them just like they did it to the Baltic tribe of Prussians
And this is why Urlich has been killed by pesant's infantry.
Interesting fact. A guy who brought the two naked swords was a squire of the Duke of Stettin, who joined the battle as a guest of Teutonic Order.
Interesting fact 2. During the battle Order loses - Grand Master and almost all Orders elder. On Polish side - 12 high rank knights.
All together ca 14 thousands killed.

It's not just a flag, but the banner of the Great Kingdom of Poland, a very important symbol and type system of communication: if during a battle this flag is folded or falls, it means the retreat of the army, and its capture by the enemy is considered dishonor.
BTW. Since soon (May 18) will be 80th anniversary of the conquer of Monte Cassino, I recommend You check polish military song "Czerwone maki na Monte Cassino" (Red poppies on Monte Cassino)
"Bogurodzica" is the first anthem of Poland and since that battle of 1410 until today it has not been broken in terms of the number of people singing this song at the same time. Ps in those days honor was more important than life, which is why they fought 1vs1 in this duel.
Powiedziałeś że nie byłbyś honorowym w walce ,tym się różnimy. My Polacy mamy Swój Honor i Świętości takiej jak Bóg, Honor, Ojczyzna i dla niech jestem gotów zginąć broniąc mojej Ojczyzny.
Also, both Teutonics and Polish at that time in 1410 were of the Catholic Faith; both sides reported to the Pope in Rome. The Reformation did not occur until 1517 with Martin Luther, although earlier attempts were present. I only mention this because Teutonics were somewhat represented as if they were of the Protestant faith; at least, the final battle gives that vibe. Teutonics' full name was The Teutonic Order of Saint Mary of Jerusalem; they were knights and monks simultaneously. One can only conclude, therefore, that they were not only "unsavory" in the monetary dealings or territorial expansions but much more. One can not be surprised that both Frederic the Great and Adolf himself were infatuated with the Teutons, perhaps for obvious reasons.
7:55 - Yes. In this battle Teutonic Orders using few cannons. But without effects.

The knights' duel in the swamps is a personal matter. It is the culmination of many dark and tragic events that took place during the film. To understand you need to watch the movie or read the book. Because the movie was based on it. The author is Henryk Sienkiewicz. And the book was written in the years 1897-1900.

Old Prussians (Baltic Prussians) were Baltic people (tribes of Balts) that inhabited the region of Prussia. Since the first historical ruler of Poland, Duke Mieszko I (Xth century), Polish rulers tried to baptize these Baltic tribes, being then pagans. In 13th century, when Polish Duke Conrad of Masovia invited in 1226 the Teutonic Order wanting them to help in baptizing of these Prussians, they Teutonic Knights came there and the Old Prussians were subjugated and their lands were conquered by the Teutonic Order, that created there their own state.

1. The banner was important on the battlefield because it was the only sign of where our men were and whether we were still fighting, lost or won.
2 The Prussians are not the same as the Teutonic Knights.
3 The cutouts in the shield provide support for the copy, which is difficult to hold in one hand
@@MayaTheDecemberGirl one could say that Prussia was defeated. But in fact they were simply murdered by the Teutonic Knights. According to them, this is what Christianization looked like
Spears were rested in this cut in the shield to aim steadily while charging on horseback. During a foot fight, when the knight was taking cover, he looked through this cutout. The battle confusion flag allowed the commander to determine where combat units were during battle. Losing the flag means losing control over the combat unit.
Greetings from Poland.
12:43 Treat the flag as the central radio station of the army. Using flags, orders were given at a distance. Such a system was used even when radio was already known, in the 20th century - the flag code in the Navy.

Jeśli chcesz poznać lepiej konflikt Polski z zakonem Krzyżackim to zobacz film: "Bitwa pod Grunwaldem 1410 - Krucjaty Północne DOKUMENT".
Tak, doskonala dokumentacja
ta bitwa to tylko opis na podstawie jednego z największych dzieł literatury Polskiej pod tytułem" Krzyżacy " która została napisana w XIX wieku , Nie jest do końca pewne czy słowa wypowiedziane przez Króla Jagiełłę w tym dziele naprawdę zostały wypowiedziane ? Czy jest to pomysł Henryka Sienkiewicza , autora książki . Ale sam przebieg bitwy jest zgodny z danymi historycznymi . Co więcej, Krzyżacy nie byli Prusami, istniało wówczas państwo krzyżackie, było to państwo zakonne, które później przekształciło się w państwo pruskie. Istniejące wówczas tarcze widoczne w filmie zostały zaprojektowane do walki wręcz.
this battle is only a description based on one of the greatest works of Polish literature entitled "Teutonic Knights", created in the 19th century. It is not entirely certain whether the words spoken by King Jagiełło in this work were actually spoken? Is this the intention of Henryk Sienkiewicz , the author of the book? But the course of the battle itself is consistent with historical data. Moreover, the Teutonic Knights were not Prussians, there was a Teutonic state at that time, it was a monastic state, which later transformed into the Prussian state. The then-existing shields seen in the film were designed for hand-to-hand combat.
Nie do końca tylko opis Sienkiewicza, ponieważ scenę przekazania mieczy opisuje także kronikarz Długosz. Co więcej, z kronik można wyczytać niechęć do Jagiellona, a jednak w tej scenie opisał go jako dobrego mówcę. Poza tym nie ma wiarygodniejszego źródła niż kroniki, przecież nikt tego nie nagrywał. Zatem nalezy przyjąć, że jest to fakt historyczny.

During the battle warriors would observe when the flag is moving and they had to follow it around the battle ground. It was a way of communication. By its position commanders can lead warriors and implement tactics maneuvers. Regiment flag is very importatnt and had to be protected at all cost. Commanders and high ranked nobels were usually near their flag.
At that time, there were no means of communication other than signs. The banner was a sign at which the commander stood and at which soldiers were to group. Notice that this is a crowd of thousands of people (half of whom want to kill you), noise and dust. When fighting, you move so that you are close to your banner. After its loss, the unit (which in the case of cavalry is also called that - "banner") is quickly dispersed, and the commander thus loses the ability to command.

The battle is epic. It is the largest battle of medieval Europe. This battle was the beginning of Polish's military power, which ended only some 200 years ago.
Read also about the Prussian Homage, called also Prussian Tribute, in 1525. It was the formal investiture of Albert Hohenzollern of Prussia, as a vassal of Polish King, with the Duchy of Prussia as a fief of Kingdom of Poland. He was the last Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights Order. This ended the rule of Teutonic Knights Order in Prussia, the Grand Master became a protestant and his duchy (being then a fief of Polish King and the Duke of Prussia his vassal) became a secular protestant state. On 10th April 1525 on the Main Market Square in Cracow (being then the capital of Poland) Albert Hohenzollern resigned as a Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights Order and received the title "Duke of Prussia" from Polish King Sigismund I the Old, and as a vassal he paid homage to the Polish King. There's a very well known painting, of one of the best known Polish painter Jan Matejko, titled "Prussian Homage". Such homages were repeated later. The last Prussian homage took place on 6 October 1641 in front of the Royal Castle in Warsaw. So up till 1657 the Dukes of Prussia were vassals of Polish Kings.

Flag was the sign of pride and helps indentify peoples on battlefield. When you loose the flag, you loose the honour and everything.
The flag is super important for cordination of the army. If you are a basick soldier in compleat chaos its nice to know where your comander is. And if your side is wining
The flag was the symbol and position of the unit on the battlefield. The flag was the signal for the retreat of the unit in the confusion on the battlefield, if the enemy had captured it and folded it, the knights could have perceived it as a signal to retreat, they would have broken formation, created a hole in the formation and could have lost the battle.
Bogurodzica was the first Polish anthems and the best I think, please check this and discuss about it
1:16 on the shields of knights who voluntarily wanted to go into the battle were the family crests showing from which family they come from. As Surnames then were not so popular, rather name with the name of your family place like here: Zbyszko from Bogdaniec were then more popular. Therefore in nobility families Crests were so popular and important as they represented from which noble family the knight came from, also it was a source of pride and honour of knight. Therefore they so fiercely defended crests on shields or on flags , because taking it away by the enemy was seen as a great insult and dishonour; this also dropped army's morale.
second thing is that Teutonic Knights asked the most experienced knights of Europe to help with fight with us - both Poles and Lithuanians because Lithuanians were considered pagans until they got Baptized when their Duke Jagiełło married our female king Jadwiga, so Teutonic Order lost the exuse of staying on lands where they could not " christianize" by plundering and murdering Pagans anymore. Also the lands Poland got rights and even won Pope's Judgement case who ordered the Order to give back lands of Dobrzyń and Chełm that were originally part of Polish kingdom. it took nearly 300 years (1226 - duke Konrad Mazowiecki brought Teutonic Order and paid them as mercenaries to fight with Pagans on Pomeranian lands, however they decided not only not to give back the lands according to contract, but to stay and establish their own state. 1410 - battle under Grunwald destroyed the main forces of the Order and finally 1525 - Prussian Tribute of the Master of Order to Polish King Zygmunt I the Old made the Order the vassals of Polish - Lithuanian Commonwealth)
10:45 Bogurodzica is the oldest anthlem of Poland. the other song - Christ is resurrected was an anthlem of Teutonic Order
13:42 I guess this is for spear so you can attack with great force on horse and also shield yourself at the same time.
13:33 For sword or spear, so you can defend your self with shield and still attack from "save" spot ;). Like for example small window in tower on castle, you are protect and still can fight back.
Today in Poland there are recreation societies from various European countries that fight each other with real swords and axes in groups of about 20 men to a side. They chop and hack with real axes, swords and maces. You will then see how each weapon including the shield is used. These contests are very close to the real thing, but the participants can do anything except kill.
flag is the most important thing, getting a flag = you will show what regiment fall under your attack. It was REALLY important
You have missed the most important moment. The scene with two sword is iconic in Polish culture. :)
Grunwald/Tannenberg 1410 was biggest battle of medieval times.
The song of Polish knights is Bogurodzica. a medieval Polish religious song and the oldest Polish poetic text preserved with its melody. The date of composition of the work is not known, it is assumed that it took place in the 13th or 14th century, although the first written text dates back to the beginning of the 15th century (1407). Since the 15th century, Bogurodzica also served as the state anthem in the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Today it is sung as a patriotic and church song.

Don’t get me wrong, but when choosing the topic of the Battle of Grunwald, you should better prepare for it - it is a very delicate issue for Poles in the context of centuries of occupation, invasions and partitions of Poland by the Germans

W 1409 była Wielka Wojna Krzyżacy walczyli z Polską i Litwą wtedy to 1410 była wojna pod Grunwaldem, a natomiast po klęsce Krzyżaków w 1411 był pokój Toruński miedzi Krzyżakami a Polską i Litwą. Bardzo fajny film bardzo edukujący.
deziękujemy ci POLSKA
The notch in the shield of some knights allowed them to poke the lance forward without exposing your arm or shoulder.
The flag was very important because at that time there were no battlefield management and communication systems, the flag was a sign transmitting orders to the unit, folding the flag could be treated as a signal for the withdrawal of the entire unit. In the chaos of the battle, knights from a given unit tried to group themselves around their flag, and the lack of it could cause chaos and the unit's dispersion. ad2 The hole in the top of the shield was a place where a lance could be rested.
Grunwald was one of the biggest and most important battles of that times. Film was based on the novel written in 1897 by a Polish Nobel Prize winner. The battle was described based on a chronicle from 15th century (so dialogues are NOT contemporary !!) Unfortunately the film is very old.
You can check 3 other films based on the historical novels of the same author: With fire and sword (Ogniem i mieczem), Flood (Potop) , Lord Wołodyjowski Pan Wołodyjowski) you will be amazed with the stories and battle scenes.

There were no Russians in this battle. Not even Muscovites. Lithuanians were the greatest enemies of the Muscovites. They invaded Moscow several times. There were several Smolensk regiments, but then and later it was either Lithuania or the Republic of Poland and Lithuania. There were Tatars on the Polish-Lithuanian side, but they were refugees settled in the Crimean Khanate after the civil war, to whom Poland and Lithuania provided support.
1:19 The shield has a cutout for a lance.
Teutonic order full name is The Order of Brothers of the German House of Saint Mary in Jerusalem. it still exists to today.
Prussia did not speak German during the Teutonic era. They used the Baltic language, which is an extinct language. today we may know at most 2k words. Poles called them Niemcy, derived from the word niemowa, (no spaeking) because it was difficult to communicate with them.
Today, Poles call Germans Niemcy because in Prussia there were Teutonic Knights who spoke German and the inhabitants themselves who did not know German language. just as we call Italian włochy from the world włosy(hair) because of Queen Bone who came to Poland from Italy and brought her knights who had long hair.
Teutons did shout Heil. They were highly orthodox and crazy about their Germanic heritage. Many of Prussian doctrines came from Teutons.
Ta dziwna tarcza jest typem kawaleryjskim aby podeprzeć lance
Dziekuje za informacje.
this groove on the shield served to stabilize the lance (the long stick visible in the film) and at the same time protect itself with the shield.
These strange shields are cavalry shields, you could hold a lance on it, they were used in tournaments, I don't know if they were used during normal battles.

Jako ciekawostka , jakie państwo przestało istnieć po drugiej wojnie światowej
odpowiadam sam sobie . Prusy
Dlaczego barwy klubów piłkarskich są takie ważne 🤣🤣🤣 dlaczego kibole są w stanie poświęcić dużo za swoje barwy za swój szalik ( kazda jednistka wojskowa ma swój sztandar który jest najcenniejszy i żołnierzy sa wstanie oddac za niego życie ,utrata sztandaru to zniszczenie jednostki
To też, ale poza symboliką należy pamiętać, że w tamtych czasach nie było telefonów czy internetu. Chorągiew to był symbol dla wszystkich żołnierzy należących do niej. Wskazywała umiejscowienie, pełniła ważną funkcję w menewrach. Pozwalały umiejscowić rycerzy "na planszy". Po prostu ruch chorągwią przekazywał rycerzom rozkazy. Zdobycie chorągwi oznaczało praktycznie rozbicie danej jednostki (tak jakby stracić figurę w szachach). Zwinięcie chorągwi oznaczało zatem sygnał do odwrotu. Utracenie z oczu chorągwi mogło mieć zatem fatalne w konsekwencjach skutki. Stało się podczas ucieczki z pola bitwy wojsk rusko(nie mylić z rosyjskimi)-litewskich. Krzyżacy jednak jej nie podnieśli (błąd w filmie), ale sprowokowało to ich do zaciekłego ataku. Ponieważ była to najważniejsza chorągiew to osłaniali ją najlepsi polscy rycerze (w tym legendarny Zawisza Czarny). Warto wspomnieć, że scena upadku i ponownego zdobycia chorągwi to jeden z kulminacyjnych punktów bitwy pod Grunwaldem, bo była to chorągiew Wielka Królestwa Polskiego (zwana także pierwszą chorągwią wielką ziemi Krakowskiej) - najważniejsza w bitwie. Wracając do szachów strata takiej to co najmniej jak utrata królowej. Król podczas rozwinięcia tej chorągwi przysięgał przed Bogiem, że to nie on, a nieprzyjaciel szukał wojny oraz, że "w imię Boga i sprawiedliwości swojego narodu" musi przystąpić do wojny i w imię Boga tą chorągiew podnosi. Dla ówczesnych ludzi symbolika miała ogromne znaczenie, przejęcie tej chorągwi mogłoby zasiać niepewność co do słuszności działań króla. Podczas bitwy chorągiew zajmowała miejsce na prawym skrzydle.
@chris.poland. You were close, not the Russians, but the Ruthenians, i.e. the current Ukrainians and Belarusians, they also took part in the Battle of Grunwald. After the personal union in 1385 between the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Lithuanians, Ruthenians (Ukrainians, Belarusians) and mercenary Tatar troops fought on the Polish side.
"Here is he who, this morning, thought himself to be the greatest above all the mighty men of the world." - this is a quote from the book "Teutonic Knights" by Henryk Sienkiewicz, written in 1897. A movie was made based on it.
Funny is that song of polish knights in the beggining of battle is a pray to Saint Mary for victory against Order of Brothers of the German House of Saint Mary in Jerusalem .
And they won :)
Krzyżacy means something like "man of a cross" krzyż means a cross in polish, therefore since their sign was a cross, they were called man/knights of a cross instead of their official name
To nie chodzi o pająki?

Interesting fact: in those years, many Poles (due to vassal law) fought on the side of the Teutonic Knights. Even some Piasts (from the first Polish royal dynasty). It mainly depended on which side of the border they had most of their wealth on.
Interesting detail. It was the First Battle of Grunwald (German historiography considers the Battle of Grunwald to be the First Battle of Tannenberg). The Second Battle of Tannenberg was fought in 1914 between the Russian Empire and the German Empire, ending with a German victory.
The film itself was based on the book of the same title written by Henryk Sienkiewicz. He is known for putting effort into his works by, for example, visiting places written in books or drawing on historiographic works.
I apologize for any errors.
It's cavalry shield, it has this cut/hole so you can put spear/lance through it I suppose, I'm not expert in this topic so someone correct me if I'm wrong.
0:25: The Commonwealth would not become a fact until more than a century later. What existed was the Polish-Lithuanian Union where both states were tied politically and headed for an eventual merger in the future but at the time still remained distinct entities.
1:18: Those are jousting shields, although I'm not sure this exact appearance is historically accurate. The slot serves to support the lance while charging
1:58: Probably deliberate. The Teutonic Knights are sometimes viewed as a product of the same imperialist tendencies that later contributed to the Partitions and WWII. Keep in mind that Sienkiewicz wrote the novel during the Partitions and that probably colored his outlook. Then add that the generation which produced the movie saw WWII with their own eyes. Lots of baggage there.
7:56: There is an account of the battle that states the Teutons brought a pair of siege cannon to the battlefield. By this time, gunpowder weapons were known in Europe for a century already.
10:47: One of the oldest recorded hymns in Polish and as far as I understand one of the country's first anthems.
16:19: That duel is actually important to the story. Maćko (the Pole) has a long standing grudge against Konrad (the Teuton).
20:44: Jagna is one of Zbyszko's two love interests in the novel.
Lithuanians role is so undervalued in this movie. 😂
