I'm getting the feeling that any time anyone in power 1900-1945 opened their mouth about Old Fritz, he had to turn over in his grave. "Look, there's a reason I asked to be buried with my dogs. It's because you humans are stupid!"
Also, Fritz discussed abdicating after Kunersdorf, yeah? Or does this fall under "Fritz got a miracle, and so will I!"?
Map problems: yeah, it came as no small relief to know that I wasn't misremembering, per se, just remembering anachronistically. Being wrong for the right reasons.
