Potop - the Deluge 1974 - battle scene

The Imdb on this great movie here. The story is about the Swedish invasion of Poland. Interesting review here

Kamieniec Podolski 1672

This is worth watching... From an old tv programme this shows the siege of a town in the Ukraine.

Another depiction of the murder of Wallenstein

Can't read the key but it's an interesting picture. Just had this transcription from Norbert
the nakme of teh pic is: The murder of Wallensteins Officers, drawing by feather, anonymous
the notes on this, as far as i can make out:
a,b,c,d reads as Obristen.. whis means Colonel´s ... maybe "Colonel butlers" soldiers or dragoons e , f illegible g Tertzsky which is Trcka, one of Wallensteins subordinates and relatives i Rittmeister... which is a title for an officer

Scots and Irish in the Thirty Years War

What is the best source of information on this subject I wonder? Am I right in thinking Scots troops didn't use musket rests as in this picture? Longbows were involved? I notice there's an American group recreating Gaffney's Regiment. Also some stuff on Scotswars. A page on Mackays here.
Irish
Also there are a number of Irish officers involved in the death of Wallenstein and therefore in the Imperialist army. An Irish Captain Walter Devereux, a Walter Butler, and a fellow named Newman were present. Was there an Irish dragoon regiment in Wallenstein's army? Anyone have any ideas or information on this subject?

Four Musketeers Siege of La Rochelle

More trivialising of the period from me but this is an amusing scene from the 1974 movie directed by Richard Lester. Part 1 of this scene here

Wallenstein parade

If you are interested in the Czech 30 Years War scene as I am you'll find this footage of a parade celebrating the arrrival of Wallenstein interesting. Nice to see all those musket rests in action.

Anglo-French war 1627-29

This war is mostly famous in Britain for the Siege of La Rochelle (surrendering in the colour pic) as featured in the Four Musketeers movie. From an English perspective there was a sizeable contingent under the Duke of Buckingham in this war...also some Irish reinforcements numbering 3,000 apparently - something else in the general era of the Thirty Years War to think about.
