I changed Swedish infantry to Protestant infantry under Swedish command because no regiments from todays Sweden participated in this battle. 83.248.26.40 02:39, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
I think that at least the five infantry brigades under the direct command of the swedisn were in fact swedish, i don't know the cavalry. But for example, the "swedish" infantry was deployed with the typical colours regiments (yellow, black and blue), contrary to the pure germans troops under the command of Weimar.

- No, there were no regiments from Sweden proper present at the battle. 83.248.27.130 17:05, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
All the acounts, articles and books say that the the troops under the command of Horn was mainly swedish, can you provide us with sources that suport your afirmation?

- All Swedish and Finnish regiments are listed in the constitution of 1634. Their history is well documented, none of the Swedish regiments were present at Nördlingen (and as far as I know non of the Finnish either). The Swedish army in Germany consisted of both Swedish/Finnish regiments and regiments put up in Germany (with German, Dutch and Scottish mercenaries). If there's talk about Swedish regiments at Nördlingen it must have been hired troops.
