Conflating the Spanish Inquisition with the Thirty Years War is just dumb and bad history. The Thirty Years War wasn’t as simple as “Protestant vs Catholic”; there were Catholics and Protestants on both sides. And it was a *war*, not a judicial proceeding.
True. But in the case of the Spanish Armies, there were always inquisitors attached. Many atrocities committed by the Spanish army, probably had their blessings.
