Re: Fritz chronological maps, or a labor of love

Thank you! I'm not a very visually creative person, so the only "fanart" I'm going to come up with is going to involve writing code to do it for me (some code went into the Sanssouci slideshow as well, lol).

Some of us in this fandom make contributions via knowledge of German and French, some of us manage to make contributions via knowledge of bash and R. ;)

Also, I'm slain by the fact you managed to come up with all the current Czech and Polish names to all the places.

Haha, it was definitely the most time-consuming part, but I had to! It was the only way to get latitudes and longitudes so I could plot the locations on the map. Like I said, a lot of the original place names seem to exist in Frederick the Great-related sources and nothing else, according to Teh Googlez.

Also, just checking (since you replied to the first comment) that you saw the revised version(s), not just the far inferior black-and-white first draft?
