	TheHistoryNet Discussion Forums: Gustavus II Adolphus: Thirty Year's War Greatest Captain? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Gustavus II Adolphus, king of Sweden, emerged as the most famous and influential general of the Thirty Years' War, even though his "winning streak" lasted only two years and three months before his death at Lützen on November 5, 1632.
		Adolphus' tactics proved to be a more nimble and efficient usage of manpower, and, a more lethal engagement of weaponry.
		That Adolphus was under a four year contract with France to field his army would in no way mitigate his army's merciless drive for plunder, but it is suggestive of another way to approach the era's contested issues.

		In June, 1630, Gustavus Adolphus, king of Sweden, landed in Germany; and in a very short time conquered Pomerania and Mecklenburg.
		The hope of conquest, of making the Baltic a Swedish sea, was, no doubt, one of his motives in taking up the cause of the Protes tants in Germany, but his conviction of the justice of that cause was as surely another, and perhaps the stronger one.
		The Swedish soldiers of Gustavus Adolphus resembled the Iron sides of Cromwell.
