Re: Preuß,in fairness, he did a lot of original research which later biographers drew from. As the edition of the Katte tribunal protocols says, he was the first biographer to have access to them
Yeah, he definitely seemed to be the most source-oriented guy I could find so early, which is why I grabbed him. Well, like you said, maybe more gems will turn up. And maybe it's worth scrolling through the five non-bio volumes just to see if there are any sources in there that we don't have access to through Trier, or if it's all just Fritz correspondence that he later published.
