Relativistic and nonrelativistic modern nucleon-nucleon potentials are mapped on a relativistic operator basis using projection techniques. This allows us to compare the various potentials at the level of covariant amplitudes were a remarkable agreement is found. In nuclear matter large scalar and vector mean fields of several hundred MeV magnitude are generated at tree level. This is found to be a model independent feature of the nucleon-nucleon interaction.
