The Prussians were surrounded by enemies of their own creation. In the history of Poland, for example, almost every conflict it had with Prussia, or Germans in general, were instigated by the Germans. The Teutonic Knights pillaged Polish Catholics, treated them as if they were pagans, so the Polish Kingdom understandably kicked the Order out of Polish lands.
And the Mongols were never in Northern Germany. They were stopped at the Polish border by Poles and Hungarians.
As for ancient populations, they have been doing genetic testing on the bones of the Tollense Valley battlefield in Northeastern Germany, the oldest known battle in northern Europe (1200 BC), and they've found that among modern populations, the dead are most closely related to Poles.

@hohetannen4703 I said nothing of pre-migration Slavic people. I merely said the dead of the Tollense Valley Battlefield cluster more closely with Poles than any other modern European population, Germans included, which is true as this is backed up by the genetic testing being done on the bones. You operate under the assumption that all Slavic-speaking peoples are 100% Slavic and nothing else and, by extension, that all Germanic-speaking peoples are 100% Germanic and nothing else. This is a simplistic and inaccurate way of viewing the past. At the end of the day, these are language families that don't necessarily mean the speakers had to be of a certain genetic background. From a genetic point of view, pretty much all Northern Europeans are closely related to one another anyway.
100,000 years? May I ask what you have been smoking?
"Eastern Admixture," You referring to the Indo-Europeans? If you are, they most likely originated in Europe, in what is now the steppes of Ukraine and Southern Russia. And it may interest you to know that Germanic peoples also decent from the Indo-Europeans, which means that Poles wouldn't be in procession of any "Eastern" blood that German don't also have.
"Im not going to word battle/keyboard warrior with you further. Any response you give I will assume is just a subconscious admission of me being correct based on your own insecurity."
Yes, we call that rage quitting.
Your entire comment reeks of historical ignorance. The Poles had been Christians for nearly 300 years by the time the first German crusader knights arrived at the scene. The entirely of Polish-German animosity throughout European history stems largely from the Germans treating the Poles like pagans when they clearly weren't, eventually leading to the Kingdom of Poland outright kicking out the Teutonic Order.

@hohetannen4703 To you first paragraph, I would say read my comment again, as you obviously didn't the first time.
To your second, I'd say it is YOU who need to brush up on your history.
To you third, it runs completely contrary to all genetic studies conducted on Poland and Poles in general. One of the interesting aspects of the Slavic people is how genetically uniform they are (The West and East Slavs at least). There is basically no genetic difference between a Pole and a Czech or Slovak, basically no genetic difference between a Ukrainian and Belarusian, even almost no genetic difference between a Czech and a South/Central Russian, despite the great difference. Despite inhabiting such a large area, Slavs evidently didn't intermix with other groups much.
In fact, the opposite is actually true. Genetic studies on Germans reveal that Northeast Germans have significant Slavic admixture, likely coming from the Polabian Slavs that inhabited the region during the Viking Age.
