I just figured out...



...that  Tolkien's Battle of the Pelennor Fields that ended the Siege of Gondor was a repurposing  of the Battle of Vienna, where instead of three thousand Rohirrim showing up to kick ass, it was three thousand Polish hussars.

And while "Polish hussar" doesn't sound all that tough, they look pretty badass.
