=== Tropes Associated With The Teutonic Knights ===
 
* [[Big Badass Battle Sequence]]: The [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Grunwald:Battle of Grunwald|Battle of Grunwald (a.k.a. Battle of Tannenberg)]] in 1410, in which the Teutonic Knights were defeated by the allied Poles and Lithuanians, was one of the largest battles of the European Middle Ages.
* [[Church Militant]]: Among the trope codifiers.
* [[False Friend]]: The nations opposing the Knights tend to remember them as such. Theirs' and the Knights' versions of the same deals not matching each other and stuff.

== Film ==
* ''[[Alexander Nevsky]]'' is a film by [[Sergei Eisenstein]] (which ironically is just the sort of surname you'd expect one of the Knights to have). Wildly historically inaccurate, especially since it was created in Russia during the Stalinist era, it is also full of Soviet propaganda (The Knights' helmets even resemble those of 20th century German soldiers). It nevertheless has dominated the contemporary conception of the Teutonic Order, and is a damn fine film.
** In the novel ''[[Red Storm Rising]]'', this film is shown on Russian TV shortly before the main [[False -Flag Operation]] (detonating a bomb at the Kremlin and blaming [[West Germany]]).
* The 1960 film adaptation of Henryk Sienkiewicz's ''Krzyżacy''. (''See'' [[Literature]],'' below''.)
