The novel findings about the Hussite's warfares in the Gdańsk/Danzig surrounding in the late summer of 1433

One of the most spectacular episodes during the Hussite Wars was the Czech raid through the lands of the Teutonic Order up to the Baltic Sea in 1433. This chapter reconstructs the day-by-day history of the assault on Gdańsk, the unsuccessful attempt to capture the city and the plundering ca. 30 villages belonging to the Order, monasteries, burghers, and gentry. Moreover, it allows shedding light on the different tactics of the two medieval armies (Czech-Polish vs Teutonic Knights) and analysing the role of fear in then-politics and military operations. In the case of Gdańsk, the awareness of threats and damages caused by Hussites' attack on the agglomeration, its suburbs and harbour might have been one of the crucial reasons why 20 years later, the city council, during the civil war in Prussia, decided to demolish one of the three municipalities – the Young City (Jungstadt) in 1455.
