Years: 1628 - 1628
September
Wallenstein, attacking on August 22 (O.S.)/September 2 (N.S.), wipes out the Danish flank, killing one thousand of Christian IV's troops and capturing another six hundred.
Thereafter, he is able to retake the town, where five hundred Danish troops are now isolated from the main army and have no choice but to surrender.
Wolgast, with its residence of the Pomeranian dukes, is badly burned and looted.
Only nightfall allows Christian and some of his troops to retreat and board their vessels.
