1632 Mar 1

Bavaria, Germany

In March 1632 King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden invaded Bavaria, with an army of Swedish soldiers and German mercenaries. Adolphus planned to move his forces parallel to the Danube River, moving eastward to capture the fortified cities of Ingolstadt, Regensburg, and Passau - so that the Swedes would have a clear path to threaten Vienna and the Emperor. However these fortified cities on the Danube were too strong for Adolphus to take.
