The Germans were poorly equipped with swords. They mostly had to rely
on spears/javelins, often wood-tipped ones. Many also had to make do
with wooden clubs. Examples of these (they look like baseball clubs)
have been found near the battle site.

The Romans were also much better equipped with body armour
.
But the Germans could exploit terrain and fortifications.
