For some contexf, Henryk Sienkiewicz's famous novel, "Krzyżacy", meaning "The Teutonic Knights", which this movie adapted, was written at a period of time when Poland was wiped off the map by Prussia, Russia and Austria. Prussia was particularly brutal in its attempts to eradicate the Polish culture and break Poland's spirit, and so Sienkiewicz wrote this novel to remind Poles of one of their greatest victories against the Germans who now oppressed them. It was to fill their hearts with hope that another victory is yet to come.
I would like to add something because it sounds like Russians are not like that. The Russians tried as hard or even harder to destroy Polish culture and nation. Their tyrany, brutality and barbarism led to mass executions and other forms of murder.
@@MiksussI don't know what is better - gulag on Siberia or "polish German camp"..., Germans and Russians were one thing.

The hymn Polish knights are singing is "Bogurodzica" which is Old Polish for the Mother of God. It's a medieval hymn written in archaic Polish and used to be something like the national anthem of the Kingdom of Poland. It's still sung now in Polish churches on the feasts of Blessed Virgin Mary and during services on national holidays.
The two swords the Teutonic emissaries brought are known as the Swords of Grunwald. They were taken after the victory and were stored in the royal treasury. During the coronation of Polish monarch they would be carried in a procession to Kraków Cathedral as a sign of our glorious history. Unfortunately they were stolen by Prussians when after the partitions of Poland they broke into the treasury and stole the jewels - the crowns, orbs and sceptres were melted down and as the Prussians had no idea of the historic value of these two regularly looking swords, they were abandoned and later taken to Imperial Russia first half of the 19th century and confiscated as illegal weapons by the military. They haven't been seen ever since.
These swords are not physically present in Poland, but they live in the memory of generations. That's why you can see many memes on the internet where this scene is used. Yes, it must be said and admitted that the film The Teutonic Knights is a cult film.
My father and his mates used to sing it when they were blackout drunk lol
@@zenokellermann2364 right, another glorious Polish tradition XD
Ha, another similarity between Poland and Japan
The film was created in 1960, i.e. 15 years after World War 2, where Poland suffered the most and was still rebuilding this year. This film is a masterpiece of battle action for its time and for a long time no film in the world has equaled it. Only Hollywood films from the 80's and 90's like "Glory" could match him in battle scenes.
Sława i chwała Polsce.
It's definitely better to watch battles with real actors rather than CGI. 😊

Yes, many times Europe has been shaped thanks to Polish effort.
give some props to the lithuanian for this one tho
Sienkiewicz wrote 'Teutonic Knights' as a reaction to the Germanization and persecution of Poles in the Prussian partition, and Alexander Ford made a film because the analogies between the Third Reich and the Teutonic Knights were obvious and very topical

Every Pole has seen the film at least twice, a classic of Polish cinema ;) The Battle of Grunwald is the largest medieval battle in Europe. The army of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania broke all the rules of medieval battles. King Władysław Jagiełło did not take part in the battle but commanded from the hill. July 15, 1410 was apparently hot, the Teutonic Knights stood in the sun in their armor for many hours (the armor weighed about 40 kilograms), our troops stood in the shade in the forest. Poland attacked not with heavy cavalry, but with light cavalry, i.e. Lithuanians and Tatars. Only then did the heavy driving begin. After killing the head of the Teutonic Knights, i.e. the Grand Master, the fight should have ended, but our king pretended not to know and, to put it bluntly, we gave them a harvest. The battle should have ended after dusk and our troops entered the Teutonic Knights' camp and finished them off. Looking at the current nationalities, the Polish, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Tatar armies killed a large part of the knights of Western Europe. After this battle, the Teutonic Order ceased to be important. The battle scene in the film shows well what it really looked like. The text "We have enough swords" - is part of our pop culture ;)

Everyone in Poland knows this movie. Although it is so old, it is still a good movie. Definitely not worse than great Hollywood productions of that years. The movie is based on a book titled "Teutonic Knights", that also everyone in Poland knows, written by famous Polish writer Henryk Sienkiewicz. In 1905 Henryk Sienkiewicz won a Nobel Prize in literature, for his lifetime achievements as a writer. Also many others of his books have been filmed, especially famous so-called "Trilogy" (these three movies are also known by everyone in Poland, especially "Potop", which is about the Swedish Deluge in 1655-1660, and "Ogniem i mieczem", in English "With fire and sword", which is about the fights with Cossacks and Tatars between 1648-1651). And there is one more famous book of Henryk Sienkiewicz titled "Quo vadis" that was filmed many times (there are Polish as well as Hollywood movies based on this book), which is about the Roman Empire on the times of Emperor Nero and persecutions of first Christians in these ancient times.
King Jagiełło was played by Emil Karewicz - you have already seen him in a fragment of the film: How I Unleashed World War II. There he played a German officer who talked to Grzegorz Brzęczyszkiewicz. Mr. Emil's most famous role is Gestapo officer Brunner from the film Stawka większa niż życie en.wikipedia.org/wiki/More_Than_Life_At_Stake; he was a great actor
Interestingly, Emil Karewicz (a brilliant actor, one of my most favourite Polish actors) fought on the fronts of World War II and was in the units that captured Berlin (Polish armoured units protected the Soviet infantry). Years later, Karewicz recalled that Poles had raised a lot of Polish flags in Berlin, and Soviet soldiers went around and took them down (on Stalin's orders, they were supposed to hide the significant participation of Poles in this fight). Paradoxically, the Germans also started to hang Polish flags back in Berlin (perhaps probably as a result of the shock caused by the behaviour of Soviet soldiers towards the civilian population - Poles did not rape German women and did not rob the Germans of everything, hence perhaps this reaction).

In that time, this movie has made o world record of"the biggest battle scene" ever recorded in the world. Biggest number of horses, actors etc Some of them had serious injuries...
Nothing can beat the practical effects. The clouds of dust from actual horses on the battlefield.
The author of "The Teutonic Knights", Henryk Sienkiewicz, was the winner of the Nobel Prize in 1905. He is a very interesting man. Great literature.
This movie was a first ever filmed in Poland on Technicolor tape. At that point of time it had to be developed in Paris, because there was no proper laboratory in Poland.
A hospital was opened for horses on the film set. Only the mounts were saved. Many of the horses used in the film were raised for meat and ended up that way. But that's what makes the battle scenes so brilliant and realistic.
Among other things, because of this film (and also the excellent "Ashes" by Andrzej Wajda), the use of horses in this way in films was soon banned in Poland. Amazing scenes with horses were still shot, but the cinematographers and directors had to think hard about how to compose the scenes so that the horses would not suffer.
*Technically WRONG !!!!*
Polish Film "KRZYŻACY" was filmed on the american negative photosensitive color film tape *"Estman KODAK Color"* .... but processed by *"Technicolor" technology* !!!!*
Moreover, it was also an American technical whole camera equipment, rented from their division located in the West Berlin called: *"CINEMASCOPE"* !!!! It was an optical anamorphic system of shooting the panoramic ratio film on a regular 35 mm film tape !!!!
To jeden z nadal najlepszych polskich filmów historycznych. Co ciekawe w bitwie zagrało jako statuści wielu żołnierzy poborowych ówczesnego wojska polskiego. Takie to były czasy, że nie było grafiki komputerowej i trzeba było siły ludzi żeby nagrać sceny batalistyczne.
Ta batalia jest sfilmowana z ogromnym rozmachem przy użyciu wielkiej ilości koni- co nie było często spotykane w ówczesnej kinematografii ilości koni- co nie było często spotykane w ówczesnej kinematografii. Poza tym ujęcia, kontrasty, cienie - piękne dzieło.

3:21 More about actors? Here you go. The actor who plays the Polish king Władysław Jagiełło (the whole face was visible literally three seconds earlier) is the same guy who played the Gestapo officer with his neck wrapped in a scarf, who interrogated the famous Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz. 😂Emil Karewicz. Fantastic in comedies and more.
A Bruner to co? 😂😂😂🤣

The battle of Grunwald was one of the largest in medieval Europe
as far as I know it actually was the largest
The real battle of Grunwald went on for 8 hours
make that kinda movie, 8 hours , it will be grrreeeeat
I recommend you watch the whole movie. It's truly amazing. If only to see what the Teutonic Knights did to Danusia and Jurand.
Polish forces were standing in the forest because it was summer, so we were in the shade, and the Germans were boiling in their steel armor. that's why they were so impatient.
👉Polish king is played by the same actor who was struggling with Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz 😀. Emil Karewicz truely great actor, legendary Bruner, main vaillant of "Stawka większa niż życie".
👉Movie for british market is censored for scenes of horses falls. Which are very realistic for a reason, many horses did not survive. Unimaginable by today's standards. 😥
Bogurodzica💪❤️
If you like history, you should delve deeper into this topic. It was the largest battle in Europe at that time. Even the Spanish fought there, but not on our side. The Poles wiped out the "Krzyzakow" with very little losses. The Germans are still trying to erase their shame after this battle. This battle featured quite a few technical innovations. The first was a pontoon bridge, but it was a frewnian bridge, something like today, over which the troops crossed the Vistula, Jagiełło did not fight, he commanded from the top, and the first cannons were also used to fire. The film itself is not a faithful record of this battle, but it is the work of Henryk Sienkiewicz, who actually wrote the scripts. These are works such as The Krzyżacy, Potop , Pan Wołodyjowski and many others, but one you know is "Quo Vadis", which was filmed several times even by Hollywood. I live 15 km from Sienkiewicz's palace. If you like cinema, check out Polish cinema, thousands of them were created after the war and some are world classics

The Teutonic Order has always been represented by the Germans in this part of Europe and we Poles have always fought against them and their injustice and attempts at domination, it was like that during World War II and it is like that in the EU now.
God protect Poland 🇵🇱
Polish king Władysław Jagiełło was acted by Emil Karewicz. Maybe you remember him from the Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz's video ("How I started World War II"). He acted a German officer there.
Not only! Hermann Brunner was his most famous role in another television series.
@@andrzejukowski8262 Right, but Mert Pol does not know that role. I mentioned only those ones which he saw.
Big Actor Emil Karewicz starring role as król Władysław Jagiełło and it was adaptation Henryk Sienkiewicz book .
There is a monument in Krakow commemorating this battle. King Jagiełło on horseback surrounded by his knights and in front of him lies the body of Ulrich von Jungingen. When the Germans occupied Krakow in 1939, one of the first things they did was to destroy this monument. Its reconstruction took years and it was put back in its place in the 1960s. Interestingly, the monument was erected in 1910, when Kraków was under Austrian rule. As you can see, the victory of the Poles and Lithuanians over von Jungingen did not bother Kaiser Habsburg.
Always when I hear the Bogurodzica, shivers run down my spine and I'm ready to fight

You asked if any well-known Polish actors starred in the film. Yes, the leading and supporting roles were played by famous actors of the time, known in Poland for many great film and theatre roles. There is probably no one in the older and middle generation of Poles who has not watched the film "Krzyzacy". For us Poles, the Battle of Grunwald is one of the most important and significant events in Polish history.
Aktorzy głównych ról niektórzy byli wtedy bardzo już znani, inni nie, vide Zbyszko. Ale też dlatego Danusia i Jagna wydają nam się trochę nie na miejscu wiekiem, bo wówczas nie było zwyczaju zatrudniać do głównych ról młodych i nikomu nieznanych osób, musieli to być aktorzy doświadczeni, już z dorobkiem. Tak też zresztą działało Hollywood. Scarlett O' Hara nijak nie wygląda na nastolatkę, a w książce taką była.

In this film you heard the song of Polish knights, "Bogurodzica", sung before battles. It is considered the first Polish anthem and is still sung in churches. Hearing this song gives me goosebumps, it still makes an impression on Poles, remembering the meaning of this song and what it is connected with.
"Bogurodzica" ("Rodzicielka Boga", "Matka Boska" - "She who gave birth to God" "Mother of God") was sung by Poles before all battles since the 11th century, and in 1918 it was considered the official anthem of the Polish Republic, competing with 18th-century Dabrowski's mazurka (which ultimately won this competition and is still the Polish national anthem).
Every Pole know this date. Probably because this is simplest recipe for moonshine (1l of water, 4 kg of sugar, 10 dag of yates)
yeasts, not yates
Every time I watch this film its like first time watching. Proud of history of my Country
Ohhh, "Krzyzacy"! You made my day! :D
I really like Henryk Sienkiewicz's books and the movies based on those books! There is also his Trilogy: "Ogniem I Mieczem" (With Fire and Sword"), "Potop" ("The Deluge"), and "Pan Wołodyjowski" ("Colonel Wolodyjowski"), which are also made into movies. My favorites are specifically "Krzyżacy" and The Trilogy). Sienkiewicz wrote his books under the motto "ku pokrzepieniu serc" (to comfort hearts) in 1884-1888 (publishing dates of The Trilogy), so in the times when Poland was absent in European maps (since 1795 to 1918).
Edit:
In the times, when our enemies wanted to erase our nation from the face of the Earth, Henryk Sienkiewicz was telling us stories about our greatest victories ;)
In the scenes from the film where the Teutonic Knights' horses fall to the ground, it was a trap set by the Polish army. To prevent the enemy from attacking them from the side, pits were dug.
Nieprawda, ani my ani krzyżacy nie mieli czasu na kopanie wilczych dołów. Bitwa a raczej miejsce było przypadkowe, armia polska po spaleniu Dąbrowna miała maszerować na Malbork a krzyżacy którzy liczyli na nasz szturmy pod Kurzetnikiem. Bitwa w tym miejscu była zaskoczeniem dla obu stron i tak wyglądają najnowsze opracowania. Tak jak mitem jest ze udział brała piechota
The hymn that Polish knights sang before the battle, titled "Bogurodzica" (meaning Mother of God), is the oldest Polish anthem and poem. It's is dated between 10th and 13th century. The lyrics are in the old, medievial, archaic form of Polish language. But still, after so many centuries it is sang in Polish churches.
15:44 Scene of the duel and death of The Great Master of the Order. The Germans were traumatized by this for almost 400 years.
kolego za dużo PRL -owskiej propagandy, Krzyżacy to nie tylko rycerze narodowości z krajów niemiecko języcznych. Według szacunków historyków, co ósmy rycerz krzyżacki walczący pod Grunwaldem był Polakiem.
Finally, pls more that 🥰🤌
There have been many film adaptations of Sienkiewicz's books. Many of his novels remain in print. In Poland he is best known for his "Trilogy" of historical novels - With Fire and Sword, The Deluge, and Sir Michael - set in the 17th-century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth; internationally he is best known for Quo Vadis, set in Nero's Rome. The Trilogy and Quo Vadis have been filmed, the latter several times, with Hollywood's 1951 version receiving the most international recognition. He became one of the most popular Polish writers of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, and numerous translations gained him international renown, culminating in his receipt of the 1905 Nobel Prize in Literature for his "outstanding merits as an epic writer." I recommend watching the adaptation of the novel The Deluge. This is a Polish film shot on a grand scale. He was nominated for an Academy Award. The scene of the saber duel between Kmicic and Wołodyjowski is considered the best fencing scene ever filmed. This is what specialists in this type of scenes from Hollywood to Murmansk say.
Wiadomo, aktor , który grał Wołodyjowskiego uczył się prywatnie czy był po szkole szermierskiej😊
@@aneluakosa2910 Kiedyś w szkołach teatralnych przywiązywano olbrzymią wagę do szermierki i jazdy konnej. I byli też wybitni fachowcy od układania choreografii pojedynków szermierczych w filmie i teatrze. Dziś nie ma na to pieniędzy. Teraz w szkołach uczą kilku podstawowych technik.
It was the largest battle of medieval Europe and one of the key events in its history - it also contributed to the fall of the Teutonic Order (invited 150 years earlier to Poland to support the Polish prince of Mazovia in his fight against the pagans (the Balto-Slavic Prussians, who were, by the way, , fantastic warriors). However, the Teutonic Knights turned against Poland - trying to seize part of its lands. Well, they failed... they soon became a small secular principality, a Polish fief, under Polish law and subordination to Poland until the 18th century, when the principality of Prussia united with Brandenburg, and then together with Russia it attacked Poland (previously, for 400 years, there had been no wars between Poland and the German principalities).
Bitwa pod Grunwaldem, to było zmierzenie się ówczesnej potęgi Rycerstwa Zachodu i Wschodu Europy. Po stronie Zakonu Krzyżackiego przybyli bardzo bogaci i wpływowi Rycerze i magnaci.

Every single Pole has seen this film, it's one of our epics. You should check The Deluge, it's even better. It's about Swedish invasion that took place in 1650's.
A long time ago, in the fourth grade of primary school, I received the first and one of the few failing grades in my school career for the date of the Battle of Grunwald. It was such a shock for me, that I still remember it - July 15, 1410. 😁
Like for 1960 communism, it was a wery good movie, its still good in fact. Personaly i love it
Fun fact. The village of Spychów was build for the film in the forest around Starogard Gdański, my father always told me that as a kid he and the rest of the children from the town and near villages were playing with the movie props that the film crew left behind. Mainly rubber and foam shields, swords and axes.
It is worth knowing that Poland probably had the best mounted troops in Europe. The history of the Polish horse army began shortly after this battle and reached its peak with the rise of the Hussars. The traditions of mounted troops continued in Poland until World War II, when cavalry was already an obsolete formation. Therefore, organizing film scenes with a lot of riders on horses in Poland in the 1960s was not a big problem. There are also stud farms in Poland, known all over the world, often visited by members of the English royal family.
It was one of the biggest battles in medieval Europe. You should also see the oil painting of polish artist Jan Matejko called Battle of Grunwald. It's a masterpiece.
I believe your channel is actually very clever. Watching suggested stuff you will know the most important historical events and mentality of the people from other countries
It's an amazing experience to remember a film from your childhood through the eyes of a person so positively surprised by it. It gives a feeling of freshness and a desire to see this mouvie again.
Me too. I need to see this movie again :-)
Polish King Władysław II Jagiełło was played by famous polish actor EMIL KAREWICZ, same who played German Secret police officer investigating Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz 😜
The nextmovie should be "Potop" :)or all 3 parts of trilogy. This will help you understand polish mindset better :)
Finally ❤ As a person totally passionate about the Teutonic Order, and quite an expert in the area, I'm delighted that you decided to see & review this iconic film, which the whole Polish generations grew up with and which I must say hardly influenced my passion for the Teutonic Order. Haven't watched your review yet, but hope you enjoyed the battle of Grunwald fragment 😉
Another important battle was Battle of Warsaw in 1920 when Poland stopped Russians from conqueing west of Europe. It was a true story telling that Edgar Alan Poe"s book had a great contribution to do so. Can' t wait to hear about it from you.!!!
my ancestor Maciej from Srzednica was in this battle as a knight, he was Pomian herb and he drafted 5 pikeman and two heavy horseman for polisch army
movie is real without computers mise-en-scene .It was the first time when Germany used cannons in history .During the Battle of Agincourt was an English victory in 1415 no one has used cannons yet .Pride comes before a fall when the Teutonic Order stood too long in a heatweave
This is a much better executed battle, even though for less money, than the Battle of Vienna which was shown tragically
The shields of the white knights have the same crosses that many centuries later were on German tanks during World War II. It was their first great defeat, which is why this battle was so important in Polish history
You should try The Deluge 1974. There're few good battle scenes in the film. Including the siege of Czestochowa. The film is based on another novel by Sienkiewicz about the Polish Swedish war in the mid-17th century. Until 1939, it was the most devastating war in Polish history.
Ponoć Potop zrujnował Polskę bardziej niż II Wojna Światowa
@@ireneuszpyrak961 "Potop" szwedzki to pewne uproszczenie. W 1648 roku wybuchło powstanie Chmielnickiego, po tym jak kozacy oddali się pod władanie Moskwy Rosja w 1654 roku zaatakowała Rzeczpospolita, w 1655 roku Szwedzi do których przyłączyli się Brandenburczycy i Siedmiogrodzianie, a po pokoju w Oliwie znowu wojna z Moskwą i Kozakami do rozejmu w Andruszowie w 1667 roku. Tatarzy raz po jednej stronie, raz po drugiej, ale grabili zawsze. DZIEWIĘTNAŚCIE lat nieustannej wojny ze wszystkimi sąsiadami poza cesarstwem (Austrią). Historycy twierdzą, że ubyło 30% ludności, także z powodu zarazy i głodu. Biorąc pod uwagę proporcje - ilość ludności i majątku w czasach bądź co bądź przed przemysłowych, to tak, to dwudziestolecie było bardziej rujnujące niż 2 wojna światowa. Polska już nigdy się w pełni z tej tragedii nie podniosła.
This knight encircled and killed by commoners was Grand Master of Teutonic Order.
While I know that the tactic for Battle of Grunwald was to stay in the bushes for as long as possible so that the Teutonic Knights would fry in their armors while waiting during the 30+ Celcius July day, I like to think that the Poles just got too busy with berrypicking and had to be dragged away for battle.
Also the "two naked swords" were unfortunately lost during partitions of the country to who knows who.
Fun fact 1: King Władysław Jagiełło is played by Emil Karewicz. You saw him before - German officer from Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz scene:)
Fun fact 2: Teutons had stayed in open field... With full plates on them... On July... Why we should left forest?:)
If you want - every year around 15.07 we have reconstruction of this battle
My favourite part and the most powerful is when polish knights singing „Bogurodzica”. This is one of the oldest polish songs and it’s about Mother of God. Every time when watching to this part I’ve got a goosebumps😃
Nice one
Imagine. There was only: about 350 horses, and up to 950 people on the plan... And the scenes are epic ;) Camera mastery...
If you liked that you should see the movie fight of "Wołodyjowski i Kmicic".The saber fight is said to be the most realistic of all of the movies ever maid.And of course it's also great acting.

63 y old movie .. But still kicks ass 😅
My father was a stunt man in this movie performing as teuthonic knight. I used to have some uniforms and weapons from that production. He said that at least 2 guys died in the action while riding horses through wolfes trenches.
Fortunately, as Piotr Stec assures, no one died on the set. Even though the horse carcass was scattered throughout. Even though the army built a field hospital next to the tents for extras, where more valuable items were operated on. The geldings, constituting the vast majority, were destined for slaughter anyway. In the post-battle scene, most of them were really dead.
- A military vet walked around with a syringe filled with poison - recalled a visibly moved extra from Kąclowa. - He stuck it into a vein in the horse's neck. The animal began to stagger on its legs and after a while it fell. For me, a young boy from the high school, it was a terrible, depressing sight. These were not the times when viewers were assured that no animals were harmed during the filming. Death was real there.
dozens of horses were slaughtered after this film
Being Polish chap, I'm very pleased to watch this channel.
I remember watching a Polish historian, the Castellano from castle Chojnik, talking about this moment, and saying that there are a _lot_ of things where Sienkiewicz (the author of the novel this movie is based on) went with artistic license, rather than with historical accuracy. The dug pits weren't there, the way the entire battle started and played out was different, and also the whole "Teutons in full plate armour vs. lightly armoured Polish and Lithuanian forces" thing wasn't true either, IIRC - mostly because full plate armour was a luxury back then, kind of like having a Lambo today - so obviously, not everyone could afford it.
He was also explaining the meaning behind "the two swords" - because the battle was happening on the day Christ sent off his Apostles to spread his word. In the Bible, Christ says that they should bring swords with them - the Apostles say that "they have two", to which Jesus replies "those will be enough". The idea was that, the swords were supposed to be used only for defence, and not to convert other nations by force.
The Teutons at the time were carrying out their expansionist policies, trying to gain more ground and influence over Europe - essentially conquering neighbouring countries under the guise of religious conversion of the pagans. But by presenting these two swords on that day, they were essentially saying, "We are but Apostles of Christ - we are not coming here to conquer, but to defend our faith from the pagans".
It's the same thing that happened at the start of WW2 - Germany didn't invade Poland, they were "defending the German minority from persecutions". The USSR didn't invade Poland, they were "moving the frontline towards the Germans to defend the Russian minority from the fascists".
As my mother often says, "A kraut will be a kraut, until the end of times".
Also, as a side note - I just checked, and the actor who played king Jagiełło was the same actor who played the angry German in the "Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz" bit :)
Dzięki ❤
The polish King in this movie is the same actor like the older SS Officer at the table in your video - "Reaction To Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz" from Sept. 4th 2023 ;-)
If you're fan of the battles check one from Deluge movie. Some consider dueling between the main characters, Michał Wołodyjowski nad Andrzej Kmicic as the most realistic one.
You really need to see the best sabre duel in movie :) "POTOP" and Kmicic vs Wołodyjowski fight
And have you seen The Deluge (Potop)? The Teutons is good but not half as good as this Oscar nominated breathtaking, epic gem. A must!
I think you deserve clarification on a few issues related to this movie. Of course, it has its technical advantages - everything was recorded without the use of computer tricks or currently used tricks, using people and horses, but the historical context is also important. As you know, the film was made in 1960, just 15 years after the end of World War II. There were still people alive who remembered the cruelty of the Germans and how many millions of polish people died because of them, so there are several important references there - when the Teutonic Knights (mainly Germans) greet their leader - Grand Master Ulrich von Jungingen, they shout "Hail!" just like the Nazis to their fuhrer. The crosses on their shields looks like crosses on the wings of the Luftwaffe and Wermaht tanks for a reason, and when they go into battle, one of the knights says to the master "Gott mit uns" - this is a motto present on the belts of all the soldiers of the Third Reich, meaning "God is with us"... ;)
I recommend reading a book about Polish history by the British historian Norman Davis titled "God's Playground. A History of Poland" and other .Of course there are some simplifications and distortions, but it's enough for a beginning ;)
"Wołyń" to trzeba zobaczyć!!!! Ten film jest odpowiedzią na wiele pytań 👍😎
What polish people had to go through is horrifying, survivors were traumatised for life.
@@user-qe9ug2mo6oto prawda. Pozdrawiam
🎉🎉🎉
Rusku co ma Wołyń do Grunwaldu czy wam ruskim trollom w Polsce całkiem we łbie szambo wybija. Może popatrz na mordy Polaków na Ukraińcach i komentuj to w temacie Grunwaldu. Co ma piernik do wiatraka ruski durniu .
Jakby nie pomoc Krzyżakom kilku tysięcy rycerzy największych zabijaków z europy zachodniej to my Polacy wykończylibyśmy Niemców czyli Krzyżaków w godzinę nie trzy 😊 no i jak Litwini nie dali by dyla na początku bitwy😅 ..
"krzyżacy" - fantastic book, "Ogniem i mieczem" also fantastic.
As an anecdote, I will say that it is a must-read. Everyone in primary school saw the film The Teutonic Knights. He should also read the book of the same title The Teutonic Knights by Henryk Sienkiewicz. And I found a book called The Teutonic Knights at home and started reading it. I read and read, but until the very end the main characters did not appear. A little surprised, before the end of the book I looked at the author and it turned out that the book had the same title: Teutonic Knights, but was written by Józef Ignacy Kraszewski. He is a historical writer who has an unimaginably large number of books in his literary output. But it's not Sienkiewicz, so at school I got the lowest grade in knowledge of compulsory readings.
In 1985, at the end of the summer break, there was a gathering of the scouts (Polowa Zbiórka Harcerzy Starszych), and that year, the chosen location was the battle fields of Grunwald. Five thousand people showed up independently. The army supplied drinking water, portable facilities and general security. I was one of the scouts. We slept three nights, in our own tents. Believe it or not, but maybe somehow, the spirit of the battle is still there, hanging in the air. On the second day, there was a spontaneous idea of recreating the battle, on pretend basis of course. The idea was to grab some stick from the local woods, and have fun doing the historical thing. Well, roughly two thousand people responded, lining up within about fifty yards of empty ground in-between. The average age was some 17 years old. I was standing in the second row. Then we realized something. This was really a spontaneous thing, with no one directing anything, no any kind of supervision, and the whole thing was to begin now. A thousand of "us", and a thousand of "them". What if things get out of hand? In retrospect, I'm glad that I was able to experience a real, authentic, overwhelming shiver down my spine, followed by an instant case of cold sweat. Oh, so that's how they felt in 1410. Then the only thing I felt was a clear tactile sensation of what I held in my hand, and a weird forward tunnel vision. The collective energy was so thick, you could cut it with a knife. Thank GOD that the army personnel got the wind of the whole thing. They cut through the middle with full speed, with their Jeep-like vehicles, shouting, What the heck do you think you are doing! Man, what a sigh of relief. They quickly organized some fun and games activities, some people got in trouble for bringing the official banners, and that was the end of that. I thought about the whole thing afterwards, and concluded that there's no way.. There has to be some energy in the air, still, after almost six hundred years. There you go, my true story. I still have the scout uniform into which I couldn't possibly fit anymore :) Now, every year recreation enthusiasts from Poland and Germany gather there recreate the battle, and socialize afterwards.
Battle of Grunwald, also known as a Battle at Tannenberg. Germans hate this total defeat so much that they spent centuries trying to erase this from history. In 1914 (if my memory serves well) they finally got their wish when on the very same spot under the leadership of Hindenburg they defeated russian army. And thus they substituted the defeat of 1410 with a victory.
Anyway, it was such an awesome victory for Poland and the (rising) Commonwealth, but seemingly wasted by King Jagiello. To this day it is a (hot) topic of why Jagiello in the aftermath did what he did, or rather didnt do, and that if he reacted differently (pushed on Malbork straight away) history of Poland and that of Europe might have taken a different turn...
I first saw this film as a child in the 80s and been fascinated with it ever since, the battle scene is just as powerful today as it was then , mind you I found the Teutonic knights much more interesting visually than our troops, it was about their looks, dark and mysterious, kind of like you may find Darth Vader fascinating, of course I know they were evil and in the end I am glad we beat them.
You absolutely must watch the entire movie. The film is based on the book by Henryk Sienkiewicz entitled "Teutonic Knights". It is required reading in our schools. It represents the largest battle in Europe at that time. The Teutonic Knights were true Germans - their exact name was: the Order of the Hospital of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the German House in Jerusalem. They then occupied the northern areas of Poland and the southern areas of Lithuania. Under the slogan of Christ, they murdered and plundered in the name of conversion. The battle was a confrontation between them and the Poles and Lithuanians. The order is still active today. Just for fun, look at the current markings of German troops.
To dobry choć stary film ale jest jednym z najlepszych filmów o czasach średniowiecznych w Polsce
The best movie made
It's obvious to every single Pole, that at least one date in history to remember is 1410 - Battle of Grunwald.
The largest battle in Europe at that time. The victory of Poland and Lithuania over the European flower of Chivalry. I watched and I do own the film, I also read the trilogy... one of the textbooks on our patriotism. Regards.
