...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)

Did Trenck pass through East Prussia on his way to or from Danzig? I haven't read his memoirs, not even the abbreviated Gutenberg version.

Honestly, don't remember, am too overwhelmed to look it up again right now, but geographically speaking - he pretty much would have had to, no? Unless he'd have come by sea?

I was thinking he'd have gone either by sea or through Poland, but my admittedly hazy memory tells me that East Prussia at this date is this chunk of territory surrounded by Poland (including Danzig) on three sides and the Baltic on the north, so it should be possible to get to Danzig without crossing Fritz's border. Now, without Fritz crossing a border is a different story...
