Frederick the Great, discussion post 6

[cahn]

...I think we need another one (seriously, you guys, this is THE BEST) and I'd better make it now before I disappear into the wilds of music performance.

(also, as of this week there are two Frederician fics in the yuletide archive and eeeeeeeeeee)
(huh, only one of them is actually tagged with Frederick the Great even though two with Maria Theresia and Wilhelmine, eeeeeee this is awesome I CAN'T WAIT)

Re: Kattes

But Holmes, how did you manage this!

Same way I put together a map of 18th century German place names translated into modern Czech and Polish place names: mad googling skills! (Seriously, when I asked you about Keith's Jägerhof, it's because it was ungoogle-able: either you knew from Lehndorff, or else all hope should be abandoned.)

Did you manage to discover who the red-haired Staatsminister was as well?

I have not, but admittedly I haven't looked (aside from not spotting an obvious candidate in my General Katte searches).

:) At least now we have some gossip about his family. They were utter blanks before!

I know! I was thinking: this is good for me as a fanfic writer. :D Because I'm bad at inventing characters out of wholecloth, but given a starting point, I can flesh existing ones out.
