Announcing Rheinsberg: Frederick the Great discussion post 10

[cahn]

So for anyone who is reading this and would like to learn more about Frederick the Great and his contemporaries, but who doesn't want to wade through 500k (600k?) words worth of comments and an increasingly sprawling comment section:

We now have a community, rheinsberg, that has quite a lot of the interesting historical content (and more coming regularly), organized nicely with lots of lovely tags so if there's any subject you are interested in it is easy to find :D

Oh wow, thank you for doing this!

Looking very briefly at pt 1: 9567 and 10147 look like they got cut off?

Fixed! Thanks for catching that.

And wow, those weren't just any two missing letters, either! One was the announcement of Leuthen, Fritz's most admired victory, and the other was one of the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad condolence letters on AW's death. "You can't expect things to be *perfect* in this imperrfect world, you know; it's not like we expected him to be *immortal*, after all. But please tell me how Wilhelmine is doing because she's actually important."

You're right. If Heinrich had been in the room with Fritz, Fritz would have been strangled on the spot.
