Due to the poor logistical situation the Swedish army was divided into two forces. By June 675, C.G. Wrangel’s force was west of Berlin at Alt-Brandenburg while Wolmar Wrangel’s force was north of that, at Havelsberg. When news was received that the Brandenburg army was marching towards them, W. Wrangel was ordered to reinforce Carl Gustav Wrangel in order to give battle in the Halberstadt region Meanwhile, the Brandenburg army reached Magdeburg on June 2 (June 11) after having undertaken a 250 kilometer long march in only two weeks.

When Sweden invaded Poland, in June 1655, it went to war with an army which reflected not only the state’s military and cultural strengths but also its fiscal weaknesses. During 1655 the Swedes won great successes in Poland and captured most of the country. But a series of military decisions transformed the Swedish army from a concentrated, combined-arms force into a mobile but widely dispersed force.

The text is also available in French and Russian (see attached pdf files). The Battle of Warsaw was one of the most important moments of the Polish-Bolshevik war, one of the most decisive events in the history of Poland, Europe and the entire world. However, excluding Poland, this fact is almost completely unknown to the citizens of European countries. This phenomenon was noticed a decade after the battle had taken place by a British diplomat, Lord Edgar Vincent d’Abernon, a direct witness of the events. In his book of 1931 “The Eighteenth Decisive Battle of the World: Warsaw, 1920”, he claimed that in the contemporary history of civilisation there are, in fact, few events of greater importance than the Battle of Warsaw of 1920. There is also no other which has been more overlooked. To better understand the origin and importance of the battle of Warsaw, one needs to become acquainted with a short summary of the Polish-Bolshevik war and, first and foremost, to get to know the goals of both fighting sides. We ought to start with stating the obvious, namely, that the Bolshevik regime, led by Vladimir Lenin, was, from the very beginning, focused on expansion. Prof. Richard Pipes, a prolific American historian, stated: “the Bolsheviks took power not to change Russia, but to use it as a trampoline for world revolution”.

    The Cruiser Blücher – 9th of april 1940 Alf R. Jacobsen DISCLAIMER: This is a non-professional translation, done purely for the love of the subject matter. Some strange wording is to be expected, since sentence structure is not always alike in English or Norwegian. I'm also not a military nut after 1500, so some officer ranks, division names and the like may be different than expected because of my perhaps too-literal translation. Any notes of my own will be marked in red. I will drop the foreword, since it probably is of little interest to anyone but Norwegians. I’ll probably bother to translate it if requested at a later time. NOTE: This is the first book in a series of four – The cruiser Blücher(9th of april 1940), the King’s choice (10th of april 1940), Attack at dawn – Narvik 9-10th of april 1940 and Bitter victory – Narvik, 10th of april – 10th of june 1940.

Swedish Generals and ° Colonels in Gray 1861-1865 '·\ Bertil Haggman* and Lars Gjertveu+ Preface At the outbreak of the American Civil War, the U.S. census of 1860 reported 750 Swedes living in what would be the Confederate States of America. Perhaps not more than fifty joined the Confederate army and navy. The full story of all these Swedes in gray remains to be written. This modest booklet is an attempt to introduce higher officers of Swedish origin who were in the Confederate army. Of the two generals, one (Brigadier General Charles G. Dahlgren)· was commissioned by the Governor of Mississippi; the other (Brigadier General Roger W. Hanson), by a Richmond commission . It is the hope of the authors that this little booklet will encourage further research, both in Scandinavia and the United States, into the military careers of these officers and contribute to the celebration this year [1996] in Sweden and the United States of the start of Swedish mass immigration to America in 1846.

    TIMELINE Søren Larsen © James D Parbery 2020-2021 this edition 22 March 2021 The Danes have been building wooden ships since long before the Viking Era (c.790-1100 AD) and passing on skills from father to son while refining the method and ship design through the centuries. The principal building material, oak, was seriously depleted in most European countries by the late 19th century except in Denmark where oak forests were well managed at the initiative of King Frederich VI 1768 – 1839. Consequently wooden ship building in Denmark continued well into the 20th century. Søren Larsen, launched in 1948, was one of the last of these ships built in the 20th century for commercial cargo - a Baltic trader or sejlede paket (sailing packet) as the Danes called it. The builders, Søren Larsen og Sønners, named the ship after themselves as she was exceptionally well built and the last of a kind - a ship they could name with pride. Søren Larsen now has a rich history spanning almost seventy-five years and has sailed every ocean. She is in excellent condition, still sailing, currently based in Sydney, Australia.
