    Didn’t the Germanic tribes fight largely without armor, or very little? A lot of them were shirtless, unless I’m confusing someone. But they also died easily. Weird.

      Early Germanic tribes fought largely without armor, but in the 4th, 5th, and 6th centuries AD, increasingly fought armored.
