That was a battle between Germanics and Slavs. Fighting since 13th century BC.

No one is hijacking your stuff here, i'm just contextualizing the battle, which is a fundamental part of the history of Germanic people. Genetics has shown that the opposing factions were from the Nordic Bronze Age and some early Balto-Slavic culture.

Ok I watched the whole video. The narrator said one side were on horseback and the other side probably not

This sounds interesting, is there any studies I can read about this further?

Yep, and the faction that wasn't on horseback fought with North German wooden clubs, so from somewhere around Denmark or Saxony.

Poles had the upper hand against Germans, before Germans got smart with tech, especially firearms. When it comes to raw brute force the Polak is the better warrior.

This can't have been either Germanics or Slavs so you might just as well drop that one: neither groups did exist at that time and neither would have been in what is now Germany. We simply don't know who was fighting who and what for.
