Pictorial volume commemorating the 600th anniversary of the famous Battle of Tannenberg (Grunwald) in July 1410 between the armies of the Teutonic Order and that of the Polish King Jagiello. The illustrated book is profusely illustrated with very good, exclusively colour photographs. The illustrations show the castles and buildings of the Teutonic Order and the Polish king connected with the events, armour and weapons as well as the landscapes the two armies had to cross on their march to Tannenberg.
The heart of the volume, however, are the spectacular photos of a large re-enactment on the old battlefield of Tannenberg, which recreates the course of the battle. Hundreds of re-enactors in faithfully reproduced armour and with weapons typical of the period can be seen, giving a good impression of the appearance of the warriors on both sides at the time. The events following the battle up to the siege of Marienburg are documented in the same way. Captions explain what is shown in the photos and provide historical background information. In addition, there is a text introduction to the history of the Teutonic Order, the background of the conflict between the Teutonic Order and the Polish Crown.
