not sure about numbers on the killed Germans but I can surely say they killed more Poles. Do not make it equal.

And about Asian girls, that is completly off-topic [but someone can start a thread on it] unless somone tells me how many Asians [girls mainly] fought in the Grunwald battle:)))))
- WHAT?! where have you been looking? Plenty of them in Kraków.
Also while TO were the equivalent to medieval Nazis they didnt kill people because someone was German or Polish, they killed people because someone was opposed to them, they killed thousands of Germans as well as Poles.

Food / Do Polish beers contain adjuncts? [34]
LOL!
I think we have exploited the topic with the following resolutions:
1. Polish beers are healthy and potent, no adjuncts.
2. Convex doesn't like those beers, only porters I guess. Which is fine.
3. Convex has to go check his senses or remove his head from... [hey, I didn't say it!] ;)
Don't take it as offence Convex, it's your opinion, others rather disagree as I do.
Perhaps you'd better able to taste beer if you removed your head from your anus.

Yes, but I can appreciate a good pils. Brackie is good :) Perla is disgusing. Try to drink it at anything but freezing cold. Lomza smells like ****. Ciechan isn't horrible, it's boring considering it's unpasteurized...but why drink mediocre beer?

I know that, I happened to be an author of some articles in in too. But there are mistakes - it is not the most reliable source in all cases. Agree?
My obvious joke turned out to be a bit dry:). Anyway, the Germans always seemed to have one of the best uniforms. Trendy and comfy;). Isn't Germany the country of Karl Lagerfeldt?
I personally admit that TO had cool coats and plate armors and those heavy swords.
- I just love it when someone calls themself a pagan. Are you using this just as a synonym for atheism or you mean really pagan??
Wikipedia isn't "solely", that's what many people don't get.

Ok, but do not rely solely on wikipedia. It is not the most reliable source, just provides a lot of information that needs to be checked. Even historians are cautious with numbers in this battle. But mostly they don't argue it was the biggest - or one of the biggest.
Bratwurst, are you Teutonian decendant? ;) hahaha

- eehh? that they have MORE extract? I don't know how else to put this.
Ok, so you like porter. But light beers are different class, right? And out of this category Polish ones and Czech are the best. If Ciechan or £omża or Perła chmielowa don't taste you - don't drink it, but consider going to a doctor to check your sense of taste;)
When you say more extract, what do you mean exactly?
- eehh? that they have MORE extract? I don't know how else to put this.
Ciechan isn't that great, it smells like a hospital glove and is too sweet for my taste.

Maybe they are exagurated but I imagine that if you wound or capture a knight, all his "soldiers" are confused and either give up or are killed or are taken as slaves for which their master has to pay later. Get one knight and you actually capture his whole crew;)
It's a 48 to 1 ratio. Now, I could believe 1 Pole knocking out 10 Teutons.........

- Touche
- that difference is very inconsistent
- since the historians "agree" on the number then we might as well treat this source as completly unreliable
Sometimes I go to the library, and the Eastern history is almost nonexistent in Western history books
- Touche
60.000 - 120.000
- that difference is very inconsistent
200.000 ottomans (most of the sources of that time placed the numbers of the ottomans at 200.000 - 400.000, but nowadays historians think this is impossible and agreed on the lower)

Not a wide-known fact outside Poland, but the Grunwald battle (15.07.1410) was one of the most spectacular victories and one of the biggest battles in medieval times. Too bad the victory was not used politically to gain something or at leaast to finally crush the Teutonian order. Big celebrations are prepared starting from today. There should be more of such dates celebrated here, not only cult of loses and martyrology.
