The Battle of Grunwald, in German "Tannenberg", took place in present day Poland in July 1410. The Teutonic Order and its allies fought and were defeated by the combined forces of Poland-Lithuania and its allied Russian and Tartar forces.  It was numerically the largest battle to have taken place in the Middle Ages up to that point.
 According to "Tannenberg 141 - Die Belagerung der Marienburg 1410" by Gerald Igelt and Rolf Fuhrmann,
 "The information about the strength of the forces varies considerably.  The lowest numbers speak of 11,000 for the Teutonic Order’s side and 17,000 for the Allies, with differing interpretations following, e.g., one source even speaks of 83,000 opposing 163,000.  In detail, 50,000 Prussian troops and 33,000 mercenaries from Germany and a total of 26,000 horsemen fought for the Order.
  On the opposing side the strength was 60,000 Polish and 44,000 Lithuanian troops, 40,000 Tartars and 21,000 Bohemian mercenaries, and of them 66,000 were horsemen.  These unrealistic numbers are still taken today without criticism by Kurowski[1].  The numeric ratios given during the Middle Ages do not represent realistic facts but were a stylistic device used to impress the significance and danger.  How could have it been possible under medieval conditions to logistically supply and lead a quarter of a million men and tens of thousands of horses?  With all the contradictory numbers about the relative troop strengths, the fact still remains that the Poles and Lithuanians were numerically stronger than the Order by about one third."
