Well, what Ziebura quotes, at any rate. Mind you, context is important: AW in 1744 writes this for baby FW2 to read once he's grown up, he's an excited young father, and presumably "oh, and also, Grandpa FW locked up Uncle Fritz that year and had his bff beheaded" is not what you want your kid to read. Or your theory of traumatic amnesia applies, since we know kid AW did witness the terrible of FW's return.
In any event: "The year in which Heinrich moved in with me" is not how other Hohenzollern family members would describe 1730...
(BTW Heinrich was born on January 18th, so the moving him from nurses and his mother to his brother's household really happened basically as soon as he'd turned 4, which also happened to Ferdinand later, who moved in with the older two.)
I'm definitely including that "treaty" in Potsdam scene. Since Fredersdorf is still around in 1749: What do you think is his take on brother Heinrich? Because the situation is different than it will be with Voltaire. Voltaire made his own bed, so to speak, and "staying out of this one" is the wisest thing to do. But Heinrich as Fritz' brother won't go away, he's a permanent fixture, plus - do you think Fredersdorf would see the resemblance?
