The Prussians invade Swedish Pomerania on January…
January 1760 CE
However, despite these successes and despite the Prussian army's attention mainly being elsewhere, Lantingshausen and his fifteen thousand troops are under-supplied and only able to invade Prussia in August, mainly in order to find supplies.
He pushes forward to Prenzlow (now Prenzlau) in Brandenburg with his main force of six thousand troops, leaving Augustin Ehrensvard with a detachment in Pasewalk.
Here he is attacked by the enemy and fights back bravely, but Ehrensvard is wounded and has to resign his command.
Many officers now depart to participate in parliament and the resulting shortage of officers forces Lantingshausen to return to Swedish Pomerania, where he will remain for the whole winter without being attacked by the Prussians.
