October 1759: The Swedish army captured Usedom and Wollin.
September 1757: Swedish Major Carl Constantin De Carnall was able to reach Fehrbellin with 800 men to defend it from about 5,000 Prussians at a battle fought there on 28 September.
June 1759: The Russian advance in May liberated Swedish Pomerania.
September 1760: However, despite these successes and despite the Prussian army's attention mainly being elsewhere, Lantingshausen and his 15,000 troops were under-supplied and only able to invade Prussia in August, mainly in order to find supplies. He pushed forward to Prenzlow (now Prenzlau) in Brandenburg with his main force of 6,000 troops, leaving Augustin Ehrensvard with a detachment in Pasewalk.
October 1757: After the failure of the Austrian invasion of Saxony, Hamilton left Neuruppin on 10 October and headed for the River Oder, in the hopes of joining up with the Russians. He failed in this and the Swedish force had to go into winter quarters, with Hamilton returning to Swedish Pomerania. .
April 1759: In 1759, during the Seven Years' War, the Swedish commander Carl August Ehrensvärd was forced to retreat to Stralsund by a superior Prussian force. This resulted in the loss of the garrisons at Demmin, Anklam, and Peenemünde to Prussia through military occupation.
December 1759: In 1759, during the Seven Years' War, Russian Field Marshal Stepan Fyodorovich Apraksin was unable to besiege Stettin due to lack of cooperation from his allies. As a result, he withdrew into Swedish Pomerania, specifically in Usedom and Wollin, which then became part of the Kingdom of Prussia.
January 1760: Swedish troops penetrated as far as Anklam.
December 1760: Then many officers left to participate in parliament and the resulting shortage of officers forced Lantingshausen to return to Swedish Pomerania, where he remained for the whole winter without being attacked by the Prussians.
