The Deutschritter-Orden, it's original name, organised for the entire European nobilty bounty-raids, officially crusades, into the Baltics and Belarus. The simple trick is the religion. The term Slawes comes from slaves. These eastern germanic tribes, like the Poles, were all heathens. The church, means the pope in Rome, allowed it, to enslave them and to take their lands, easy business. Germans are a mixture of Celtes and Germanics ( in the EDDA called Wanes & Æsir). As more as You travel to the east of Europe people get more germanic and less celtic. My statement there are no Slawes by race will bring me a lot of enemies, mainly in the pan-slawian Russia. Iceland became a Christian island by Snorri Sturlusson to avoid the invasion of the King of Denmark and Norway. It was not allowed by the church to conquer christian countries.
