Gardingen siege press of war as Count Steinbeck faces decision
In Hamburg letters from Holstein urge continued preparations for attacking Count Steinbeck’s forces at Gardingen. Tomorrow is the last day for him to decide whether to surrender to Danish captivity or risk an assault. Danish ships reportedly mobilize to reinforce the Helstein troops from Flanders for a wider Swede attack, while Holstein houses face demolition risk and Danish ties with Gottorp residents.
