Not great deal, only few hundreds. Polish army was made of Poles, Lithuanians, Tatars, Cossacks, Germans and Latvians, because Commonwealth was very big country with many nations, so army was also multinational. I'm not sure if hussars were Lithuanians, because commanders names were polish - Tomasz Dąbrowa, Teodor Lacki and Wincenty Wojna, Lithuanian was Jan Piotr Sapiecha.

@xganger2 Take it easy ffs. It's a polish film from 1974, based on a novel from 1886. Good luck finding a novel from 1886 that isn't nationalistic. We gave the author the prize in 1906... if even Sven Hedin was OK with it then so should you be. Also, if you're such a star in history, you'll know about the political situation in Poland during the 70's. Maybe, just maybe, NOT making propaganda wasn't exactly an option in this case.

@krashly71 lol and you guys can relive the past as a genocidal colony nobody gives a shit about. While China relives it's past as the greatest empire on the planet. Maybe even the Muslim-nations will get their shit together and reestablish the Ottoman E, considering what's been going down during the last year. What a brave new world, ey?

One word. HUSSAR!!!! XD but i dont think those wings were used in actual battle, maybe ceremonial purposes. would've been diffcult to ride in full gallop with those things on, even for a skilled rider.

Wonder what would have happend if the swedish-polish empire from 1590 wouldnt have been disbanded.. then we would probably be the greatest state in europe by that time..

[Nevaahh]

Its not that i dont like poland but please dont talk shit.. you cant say were weak when we where the ones to end your great era (which u never regained). Infact sweden had such low population that in the 15th century people never could believe we would be one of the greatest empire even if our great era only lasted for 90 years.. If our king charles XII wouldnt have underestimated the russian winter it probably would have lasted for atleast 50 more years..
