Today it is 379 years ago since the Swedish King Gustav II Adolf was killed in the foggy break of dawn on a wet and dirty field in the German village Lützen. For more information see last years memorial.

By the way, you can still see the outfit that Gustav wore the day he died when you visit Sthlm. My favorite Museum to visit as a child: Livrustkammaren (the Royal Amoury).

Picture is taken in August at the Killing Fields of Lützen as me and my Swedish friend Anders went on our thematic road-trip labeled:
