Enkevort was exchanged for a captured Swedish general in 1641, upon his return he was promoted to Generalfeldmarschall by Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria. He then campaigned in Thuringia, between the areas of Aller and Leine. In the spring of 1642, he was again transferred to Lorraine, although this time the Lorraine front saw no major battles prompting his return to Bohemia. Under Leopold Wilhelm, he moved to Saxony, where the Imperial suffered a defeat at the hands of the Swedes in the Second Battle of Breitenfeld. The revolt of Transylvanian prince George Rákóczi I and his subsequent invasion of Bohemia tied Enkevort's troops there until June 1644, when the Imperials under Matthias Gallas began their march on Schleswig. In August, Lennart Torstenson's army was joined by another Swedish army under Hans Christoff von Königsmarck; their combined force chased the Imperials back south. The two armies surrounded Gallas' army in Magdeburg; by November, the army was virtually shattered. Trying to escape with the cavalry, Enkevort was captured for a second time at Jüterbog.
