Origin/meaning
The two swords refer to the battles of Grunwald.
The first is the Battle of Grunwald (also known as Battle of Tannenberg) in 1410, where the alliance of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, decisively defeated the German–Prussian Teutonic Knights.
The second is a battle at nearly the same place in 1914 between Russia and Germany during the first month of World War I.
The green colour is a canting element (Grun=green in German).
