Again, awwww. "Ship-wrecked in port" is such a great and fitting and sad image. Otoh, cynical observation: by dying at this point, Suhm avoids having to witness Fritz invading Saxony twice, wrecking considerable havock on Dresden in particular, and gang pressing hundreds of Saxons into his army (a lot of which unsurprisingly deserted to the Austrians as a result). I'm assuming that as a Saxon who spent most of his life working for the Saxon state, he would not have been happy.
