Description

La Seconda battaglia di Breitenfeld, anche nota come prima battaglia di Lipsia, si svolse il 2 novembre 1642 in Sassonia, vicino Lipsia, e vide impegnati l'esercito svedese al comando del generale Lennart Torstenson e un'armata imperiale guidata dall'arciduca Leopoldo Guglielmo d'Asburgo e dal principe Ottavio Piccolomini. Come già la prima battaglia di Breitenfeld, lo scontro si risolse in una decisa vittoria svedese, che consegnò di fatto la Sassonia nelle mani degli svedesi e consentì a Torstenson di procedere, negli anni seguenti, ad una vigorosa serie di offensive verso i domini asburgici.
Con la morte del comandante svedese Johan Banér, il 20 maggio 1641, e la sua sostituzione da parte del generale Torstenson, si aprì una nuova fase offensiva per le forze svedesi in Germania. Procedendo verso est, egli sconfisse le truppe sassoni a Schweidnitz , in Slesia, e procedette quindi all'invasione dei domini imperiali della Moravia, occupandone la capitale Olmǘtz , che provvide a fortificare, trasformandola in una solida base di operazioni.
