Thirty Years' War - Soldiers

Picture from the Day of Brno - ceremony for the anniversary of the unsuccesfull siege of Brno (May 3 - August 23 1645). Swedish army of generalissimo Lennart Torstenson attempted to break through the city in its way to Vienna, but was forced back.

The picture is from battle reconstruction, performed by several clubs of military history. Sorry for the people in background - It was practicaly impossible to make a single shot without them because the battle was performed in the middle of the town.

These are soldiers from that period. Unfortunately, I don't know which side they were - Sweden od Habsburk? Damn...
