Den tyske ridder var en perfekt kriger (The Teutonic Knight was a Perfect Warrior) is the title of the infographic that shows the weaponry of one of the members of this military order that appeared, along with others, in the 12th century to combat in the Crusades against Muslims in the Holy Land and in the Iberian Peninsula, or against the pagan peoples of Eastern Europe. The image is part of an article in the Danish magazine Illustreret Videnskab Historie, dedicated to the Teutonic knights and to their expansion through the Baltic territories, where they established a powerful State in the Middle Ages. From the original infographic on the Crusaders, the editors could select the image that best suited their needs.
