Interesting Footnote. ~ 100 thousand Cossacks fought for Germany in WW2. They were amongst the few foreign troops to be used in direct combat. At wars end many had made their way to the allied lines to surrender. The allies retured them to the Soviets who began shooting them out right, often within ear shoot of the Allies.

A very interesting and brutal video. Who were the poles + Lithuanians fighting

I don't know if the Poles and the Lithuanians were fighting the Teutonic knights or maybe the Russians, the Swedes or the Prussians.

The Teutonic knights were a knight order in Eastern Europe, they emerge shorty after the downfall of the knight Templar and that is pretty much all I know about them. Their castles remain still in Lithuania, Poland, and maybe in Belarus too.
