400 years since the Swedish attack on the mouth of the Vistula River and Gdańsk

It is 400 years since the Swedes hit 1 of the most tender places in the Republic. It was not a random raid or a romanticist war for the honor of kings. Gustav II Adolf knew where the economical heart of the Polish-Lithuanian state beats. There was money on the Vistula River and on the road to Gdansk.

They hit where ports, fortresses, crossings and trade routes could be rapidly taken over. It was the Baltic War, but besides about grain, wood, flax, tar and customs. little Elevated
