Big thank you to Ray Boyles for pointing me in the direction of this super Swedish documentary about Lutzen.
Very balanced, non jingoistic (in fact very much the opposite). The Swedes doing history as only the Swedes can... painting their greatest military champion as a cynical, hypocritical opportunist in it for the money and the glory and exploiting the gullibility of the uneducated masses.
Also recasting Lutzen not as a Swedish victory but as a bloody draw.... 30 minutes very well invested.. I thoroughly recommend it
