I really don't see Münchow calling Algarotti a valet.
Agreed, *if* he knows it's Algarotti. But say he got his information third-hand, and all he's heard is "chamberlain." He might 50 years later remember it as "valet." That's what I meant by "we can't assume Münchow has full and complete information."
But I think Marwitz is more likely than Algarotti, for something involving a valet and a regimental field medic.
he says he'd always thought the trashy pamphlet and memoirs
Hmm, he says this about both the pamphlet and the memoirs? I should look at them more closely, with this in mind.
Münchow of all the people would know that FW wasn't in Küstrin
Ha! He'd better. That's some serious senility if not! (I mean, Koser doesn't think Münchow knows what year he was born or whether he was the youngest son of his father, which...)
