Just hit the Küstrin episode (where the kids are lined up by Mom and beaten by Dad). In the immediately preceding paragraphs, Catt is listening to stories around camp. This general says this, that baron says that. Fritz left yesterday, when Heinrich arrived, if I'm not mistaken.
So is this pre Kunersdorf, since the German preface writer said Fritz left De Catt there with Heinrich's army and that's where some of the key stories come from?
Pity the preface writer also says De Catt and Heinrich didn't get along, otherwise I'd have wondered whether he tried pumping him for stories, too. But no love lost there, ergo no likelihood of Heinrich telling him the gory tale of Dad's return home.
