Battle of Grunwald 1410 The biggest medieval battle. Germans smashed. [174]
Even Germans gave so much importance to the battle of Grunwald(which was known as battle of Tannenberg) that they insisted that their victory in 1914 against Russians should be called victory in the battle of Tannenberg although it took place in a field a little far from Tannenberg.
One of teuton knights who perished in 1410 battle was called Hindenburg and the Hindenburg who fought the battle in 1914 was his straight descendant so he had every reason to take revenge.
When Hindenburg died in 1934,Germans raised a huge memorial in Tannenebrg where he was buried with all honours.The memorial was later completely dissolved by the red army and its components used to build the Kulturpalast in Warsaw.
