Produktbeschreibung
The book presents some main features of the battlefield archaeology at Tannenberg (today Grunwald, Poland), where armies of the Kingdom of Poland and the Great Duchy of Lithuania inflicted a devastating defeat on the army of the Knights of the Teutonic Order in Prussia. Special attention is devoted to an intriguing question of the acceptance by historians and archaeologists of a fallacious theory about the march routes and battlefield deployment of the armies created by the famous Prussian historian Johannes Voigt in 1836. The author rejects the credibility of the thesis by Voigt and refers to a contemporary source that has remained unknown in scholarship, and offers an alternative interpretation. The book considers not only written sources but also archaeological investigations and historical maps. The research is based on the use of methods associated with archaeological exploration. The presented data are the results of search with metal detectors in the fields of Grunwald from 2014 to 2020, when more than 600 hectares of land were explored. The richly illustrated book also presents many political and cultural perspectives, well beyond the archaeological questions.
