Coming over lateish to echo my support for cahn’s suggested chronology format. Year by year, and the various highlights in each year, with no more than a line or two describing said highlight. Major events in bold. (And then people could come back and insert links or footnotes to said events if they wanted to.) As we all know, chronos are invaluable for the casual reader wanting to deep dive, academics, and fic XD

Relatedly, is there a good, non-overly aggrandising book or resource as to Fritz’s military strategy? I’m only familiar with the standard myth of the war genius general, mostly from Berlin visits and familiarity with the post-Fritz Napoleonic wars, albeit from the non-Prussian side of things (thanks, Mis fandom!). I see you’ve recommended Blanning to cahn, which probably means I should wait for her to be done with it and make free with her summarised views :)

(I’m also interested in resources on the Prussian military uniform, but that’s probably just my thing for uniforms.)
