Dänemark und die Protestanten verlieren an Boden
In Böhmen festigt der Kaiser seine Position und macht es zu seinem Erbbesitz. Die Wahlmonarchie wird abgeschafft und die Stände entmachtet. Im Norden sind seine Truppen siegreich. Bei Heiligenhafen, an der Ostsee, erfahren die Dänen eine vernichtende Niederlage und kapitulieren. Das gesamte dänische Festland ist in der Hand der Kaiserlichen. Deren Heerführer Heinrich Schlik hatte bereits bei den Kämpfen in Mitteldeutschland eine herausragende Rolle gespielt und war zum Feldmarschall ernannt worden, da Wallenstein Mansfeld nach Ungarn verfolgt. Georg Friedrich von Baden-Durlach scheidet im Oktober im Streit aus dänischen Diensten. Landstriche, die nicht direkt vom Krieg betroffen sind, müssen die Heere ernähren. Neben Geldzahlung und der Lieferung von kriegswichtigen Gütern, leiden sie unter dem Verhalten der einquartierten Söldner. Diese nehmen sich was sie wollen. Frauen sind Freiwild. Während Frankreich die deutschen Protestanten unterstützt, verfolgt es im eigenen Land die Hugenotten gnadenlos.

Bohemia, the emperor consolidates his position and makes the country his hereditary possession. The elective monarchy is abolished, and the estates are stripped of their power. In the north, his troops are victorious. At Heiligenhafen on the Baltic Sea, the Danes suffer a crushing defeat and surrender. The entire Danish mainland is in imperial hands. Their commander, Heinrich Schlik, had already played an outstanding role in the fighting in central Germany and had been appointed field marshal while Wallenstein pursued Mansfeld into Hungary. In October, Georg Friedrich of Baden-Durlach leaves Danish service following a dispute. Regions not directly affected by the war must feed the armies. In addition to making payments and supplying essential war materials, they suffer from the conduct of the mercenaries quartered there. These men take whatever they want. Women are subjected to unrestricted abuse. While France supports the German Protestants, it ruthlessly persecutes the Huguenots within its own borders.
