* Henryk Sienkiewicz's ''Krzyżacy'' (''[[The Knights of the Cross]]''). The Teutonic Knights are (almost to the last man) [[Exclusively Evil]] stand-in for Germans, Poles are all noble and brave, and there is [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much|a decent guest of the Order]] who is there to be repulsed by what [[Complete Monster]]s the Knights turn out to be. In case you haven't already guessed, it was written around the time when [[Poland]] was being ruled by the [[The Sound of Martial Music|Austrians]] and [[Prussia]]ns (and the [[Imperial Russia|Russians]], of course).
* ''[[Wolf BreedWolfbreed]]'' has them raising werewolves as [[Super Soldier|super soldiers]] at first. When that doesn't work out they move onto Plan B: [[Kill Them All]].
* James A. Michener's ''Poland'' devotes one chapter to a [[Shown Their Work|very detailed]] retelling of the [[Curb Stomp Battle|Battle of Grunwald.]]

* Warhammer: Inner Circle Knights of the Empire. They even sport the same insignia - black cross on white.
* In [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] the Black Templars are some kind of futuristic Teutonic Order. They are dressed in black and white with crosses of the same color. They love to fight with [[BFS|Swords]], have sometimes altered, more mediæval looking helmets and are very fanatic. One of their High Marshals is called "Sigismund" and they've got other [[As Long as It Sounds Foreign|German names]] like "Gervhart" or "Helbrecht." Even among the other Space Marines they're the best example of [[Warrior Monk]]s.
* [[Infinity|Pan Oceania]] has [[Recycled in Space|recreated]] this and other [[Church Militant|knightly orders]] as elite crack teams. The Teutonic Order is known for being particularly [[Blood Knight|brutal]] close up, even in a game which focuses on ranged combat.
