The Germans fought in many hundreds, which were consisted of outdoors and led by Hunni. In these formations was also military training and exercise. Such hundreds, which are also known as Huntare were organized by village communities, which facilitated the cohesion and social control, and existed in rural areas to the Middle Ages as an organizational form of free peasants ( as in today's Switzerland ).
