EDITORS COMMENTS
Attack on Wesel: A Meticulously Planned Surprise Assault by the Dutch Republic in 1629 This print depicts the strategic plan for the surprise attack on the fortified town of Wesel, located on the Rhine River in present-day Germany, by the Dutch Republic in 1629. The event marked a significant turning point in the ongoing Eighty Years' War between Spain and the Dutch Republic. The print, produced in the late 17th or early 18th century, is a testament to the intricate planning and military prowess of the Dutch forces. The image illustrates the various stages of the assault, from the initial landing of troops on the riverbank to the final capture of the town. The Dutch commander, Frederik Hendrik, Prince of Orange, devised a plan to bypass the heavily fortified walls of Wesel by attacking from the rear. The print shows the troops advancing in formation, with the pontoon bridge in the foreground, which allowed the Dutch army to cross the Rhine unopposed. The print also highlights the crucial role of the Dutch navy in the attack. Ships are shown bombarding the town's defenses from the river, creating a diversion and providing cover for the troops on the ground. The successful capture of Wesel not only boosted Dutch morale but also weakened Spanish control over the Rhine region. The event marked a significant victory for the Dutch Republic in their struggle for independence from Spanish rule. This print is an essential historical document, offering a unique glimpse into the military tactics and strategies of the time. It serves as a reminder of the complex and often brutal realities of war in the early modern period.
