Does anyone knows any good paintings or engravings of German cavalrymen from the 1550-1570 period, or any good pictures of German cavalrymen armor from that time? |

Albrecht Durer has some nice stuff:

Unfortunately Dürer died in 1528 so never provided us with any examples from the period in question. The Landeszeughaus in Graz and the Hofjagd und Rustkammer in Wien have a large number of armours from that period. The best engravings are those by Jost Amman. |

For the Landeszeughaus you would want to invest in this DVD provided you have a computer that is old(!) enough to run it

and Peter Krenn's Harnisch und Helm
link Unfortunately the Hofjagd- und Rüstkammer has not published similar books as their publications fokus on the spectacular armours and weaponry rather than that worn in combat. So there a visit is the best solution :) |

is a big fan of the Age of Sail, and these ships really speak to him - he loves transitional eras, and the Anglo-Dutch Wars was one of those.
