Actually, some things do change:

(by the way, the Lithuanians, and Lipka Tatars, neither of which were Slavs, had a lot to do with the Polish victory over the Teutonic Knights in 1410)
I was just commenting on the German desire for hegemony over the Slavs. Fritz just needs to calm down. Delusions of grandeur and all that.
