Hello

The thread "Galaxy of Nations" contains information on foreigners who participated in the war. I've just added a couple of Swedes to it, and earlier in it you'll find a link to the online memoirs of August Forsberg.

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you.

The vast majority of Swedes fought for the Union and this is really not my field of expertise. So I'm struggling to recommend books on Swedish combatants. I would imagine that you can find a fair amount on John ******** [not a combatant, of course] & Admiral Dalghren, but I'm only guessing.
