Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
Stralsund was not a free city of the empire, but though it was nominally dependent on the Duke of Pomerania, it was practically its own mistress.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
Above all, he appreciated the danger to Sweden of an imperial hold on the Baltic.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
He had already sought to guard against this last menace by aiding the citizens of Stralsund, the noted Baltic port, in their resistance to Wallenstein, which proved the one real check to the imperial general's all-conquering progress.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
In a letter to Oxenstierna in sixteen twenty-eight, Gustavus had uttered the prophetic truth, which later history has made so clear, that the wars that are made in Europe are complicated and nearly always become general, one of the many indications that he had long realized his entry into the struggle to be inevitable.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
But for a time he hesitated as to the choice.

Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
In Gustavus's third campaign, of British alone, mainly Scots, there were six generals, thirty colonels, fifty-one lieutenant colonels, and ten thousand men.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
It is an interesting coincidence that in the storm of Frankfurt on the Oder, where the Scots took a foremost part in the assault, the last stand of the Imperialists was made by a body of Irish under Colonel Walter Butler.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
By these various means Gustavus formed early in 1630 an army of 76,000 men, of whom 43,000 were Swedes, but of this total only 13,000 landed with him in Germany, while David Leslie occupied Stralsund and Rügen with another 6,000, a desperately slender force for so gigantic a venture, though another 25,000 came to him as reinforcements before the end of the year.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
Of the surplus, 16,000 were left to garrison Sweden, and three contingents of from 5,000 to 7,000 apiece in Finland, the Baltic provinces, and Prussia.
Ben TuckerNARRATOR
A breathing spell had come in the war which had wracked all Germany for a generation.
Ben TuckerNARRATOR
Wallenstein, the adventurer general of the Emperor Ferdinand's armies, had failed to make good his blasphemous boast that he would take the town of Stralsund, though it were fastened by chains to God's own throne, and Gustavus Adolphus, the Lion of the North, had swept the imperial troops from Pomerania.
Ben TuckerNARRATOR
Suddenly the noonday calm was rent by such a clangor of bells as had not been heard since the alarm heralded the approach of Pappenheim's Walloons.
Ben TuckerNARRATOR
Women rushed to their doors with infants clinging to their breasts and older children clutching their skirts.
Florian KrammerHOST
The name is made up of two words.
Florian KrammerHOST
The RU comes from Rubella because it's similar, and then the strella comes from the Stralsund region of the Baltic Sea in Germany.
Florian KrammerHOST
So it's just a made-up name.

So once Vasa joined up with the other vessels, the destination for the three would be decided.

Coming down to either reinforcing the Swedish blockade of Gdansk, or Danzig, depending on what language you're reading your history in, or the Swedish squadron at Stralsund.
TannerHOST
And I know that because you had made some brief references to some of these military conflicts that Sweden is embroiled in at the time.
ChrisGUEST
yeah and stralsund is actually the bit that is going to drag sweden or the they're going to use as the excuse for sweden to join the 30 years war so this is uh where the imperial forces are heading up towards denmark and then sweden are a bit like oh wow you know we kind of like them beating denmark in war but not so bad that they could then come and get us and so then they basically go down to stralsund which is near the south of denmark and uh They try and defend it together.
