Hello George Zentner,
Having been raised in Holland (Netherlands) from 1935 to 1955. I learned
about the 80-year war against Spain (1568-1648) in school. At the conclusion
of this war, during the Treaty of Muenster which coincided with the end of
the 30-year war in Germany, Switzerland (Helvetia) and the Netherlands
(including the Spanish Netherlands - now Belgium) were made independent
states. You probably know all this but my question has to do with the
approximate dates when this Swiss regiment existed and where its garrison was
located. Looking forward to hearing from you, I remain
sincerely,
