Because it meant he got to build a memorial for everyone he credited with winning the war that Fritz had started and then mishandled beginning to end, "about whom he says nothing in his fucking memoirs," beginning with dear older brother Augustus Wilhelm.
cahn, you have to check out Heinrich's "Fuck You, Fritz!" monument to truly get the full flavour of fraternal feeling here, aka the obelisk with all those names of people Heinrich felt were wronged by Fritz: Here it is.
re: other brother Augustus Wilhelm, loved by Heinrich and loathed & humiliated by Fritz, we should also mention he was FW's favourite kid (no. 11 of 14, thus also much younger than Fritz) and the only one FW was sort of decent to. Which evidently had much to do with Friedrich's Feelings. (I mean, what's worse, having an abusive parent who can't be other than abusive, or one who can and just isn't towards YOU?)
