  Teutons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The migrations of the Teutons and the Cimbri
The Teutons or Teutones (from Proto-Germanic *Þeudanōs) were mentioned as a Germanic tribe in early historical writings by Greek and Roman authors such as Strabo and Velleius.
After several victories for the invading armies, the Cimbri and Teutones were then defeated by Marius in 102 BC at the Battle of Aquae Sextiae (near present-day Aix-en-Provence).

The Teutons (Teutones) were mentioned as a Germanic people in early historical writings by Greek and Roman authors.
After several victories for the invading armies, the Cimbri and Teutones were finally defeated by Marius in 102 BC at Aquae Sextiae (near present-day Aix-en-Provence).

When this theory was first broached, doubts arose in some quarters as to the possibility of ascribing to the ancient Italians and Teutons in their primitive condition such a pure and relatively high degree of culture, but the certainty of linguistic results seemed to dispose of all objections.
Teutonic mythologists in proposing such an identification of a hero with a god, or of one god with another, go on the theory that what is seemingly a proper name is in truth only a surname, the hero or god of lower rank being regarded as an hypostasis of the higher god.
The Teutonic tribes always had their faces turned to the west and south and it was the contact with Kelts and Romans, and not with Balto-Slavs, that molded them.

The Teutons (Deutches) as a people seem to have emerged from out of the area surrounding the Skagerrak - the estuary of the Baltic into the North Atlantic; i.e Denmark, southern Norway, and southwestern Sweden.
Identifiably Teutonic characteristics begin to emerge after roughly 2000 BCE, and a stable culture in the region is established which endures for better than 2200 years.
Their own earliest mythologies speak of two antagonistic groups, the Æsir and the Vanir - the former a group obsessed with the cult of the warrior and the martial virtues, the latter seeming to be focussed on land-use and fertility cults.

We shall probably never fully succeed in tracing the boundaries dividing Kelts from Teutons in the prehistoric times, or in determining the lands which each of these peoples originally occupied, or in fixing the tribes of which they were composed.
The original boundary between Kelts and Teutons was doubtless situated in the country between the Oder and Elbe.
From these facts we may infer that the Balto-Slavs and Teutons were brought into contact on every side, and since with the migration of a people there are always some that stay behind, the two races must undoubtedly have intermingled in the region between the Vistula and the Elbe.

 Teutonic Mythology by Viktor Rydberg
Teutonic has already been adopted by Max Müller and other scholars in England and America as a designation of all the kindred branches sprung from one and the same root, and speaking dialects of the same original tongue.
The native stories telling of Teutonic gods and heroes received terrible shocks from Christianity, but were rescued in another form on the lips of the people, and continued in their new guise to command their attention arid devotion.
And while Odin in the Teutonic mythology is the father and ruler of the gods, Mercury in the Roman has, of course, as the son of Zeus, a high rank, but his dignity does not exempt him from being the very busy messenger of the gods of Olympus.

 THE BATTLE OF GRUNWALD
The Teutons would be tired, and one attack in the early hours of the morning could have crushed the exhausted Teutons, but Yagailla considered that making them wait in the heat of the day would make the Teutons nervous, and irritable.
The Teutons with their long swords killed many lightly-armed soldiers, but most of the Teutons were confused now, their white clothes turned to red, because of the amount of blood that was on the ground, and on the horses.
The Teutons did not expect the tired enemy would be able to reach their base so soon, but Jahaila(Yagailla) had more fresh reinforcements to throw into the battle, even at this late stage.

 Army on field of the battle of GRUNWALD
The Teutons (Krzyzacy) could assemble that day 21.000 excellent heavy cavalrymen, 6000 massively armed infantry, and 5000 servants trained in battle, and better-armed than most of the Lithuanian and Polish foot soldiers.
Most of these Teutons would be Teutonic Knights/Germans, but from all Western Europe knights had come to help their brothers against the "pagan" Lithuanians (some of them were indeed still pagans), and the Poles who dared to support the pagans instead of the Christians.
The Teutons were conventionally opposed to the Polish-Lithuanians.

 Northvegr - The Culture of the Teutons
To blote the gods or in the grove and the rock are expressions altogether parallel to the consecration of men and cattle.
In the religion of the Teutons, such terms as worship and adore, atone and propitiate in the Jewish and Christian sense are empty words, they slip powerlessly aside; the discrepancy between the fundamental need of religion and their meaning makes them empty and superficial.
The worshipper went to his grove and to his gods in search of strength, and he would not have to go in vain; but it was no use his constantly presenting himself as receptive, and quietly waiting to be filled with all good gifts.

The Teutonic peoples resemble the latter; their plasticity is extraordinary, and every crossing between their own different tribes has enriched the world with new models of noble humanity.
On the other hand, where the Teutons by force of numbers or by purer blood predominated, all alien elements were carried with the current and even the non-Teuton had to become a Teuton in order to be and to pass for something.
This work of Teutonism is beyond question the greatest that has hitherto been accomplished by man. It was achieved, not by the delusion of a “humanity,“ but by sound, selfish power, not by belief in authority, but by free investigation, not by contentedness with little, but by insatiable ravenous hunger.
