from the Osprey site :
By 1400 the long running conflict between the Order of Teutonic Knights and Poland and Lithuania was coming to a head, partly as a result of the Order’s meddling in the internal politics of its neighbours. In June 1410 King Wladislaw Jagiello of Poland invaded the Order’s territory with a powerful allied army including all the enemies of the Teutonic Knights – Poles, Lithuanians, Russians, Bohemians, Hungarians, Tartars and Cossacks. This book recounts how, when the armies clashed on the wooded, rolling hills near the small village of Tannenberg, the Teutonic Knights suffered a disastrous defeat from which their Order never recovered.
Nobody is shocked by the use of the word : "Cossacks" ???

Heh, lets hope its Osprey mistake, not Turnbull... (AFAIK, there weren't any Hungarians there, either)
Yeap, and Czechs were neither Order's neighbours nor enemies, but just mercenaries...
But they were still there
Why did they use bohemians BTW? Wasn't that some kind of writers in the late 19th century?
Ah, missed that. Though he meant those Smolensk Banners (no idea why i though so. Smolensk was Ruthenian, too), and didn't checked if anyone is lacking... another reason why ad is crappyOriginally posted by vilkouak
And Russians instead of Ruthenians. How nice
