Wonder if he ever commented on Mozart?)

According to Blanning, no, but you know how far we trust him. Also, it's hard to prove a negative.

LOL. He can't even get credit for nonmilitary stuff?

You know, before selenak came along to tell us otherwise, I had always learned that it was Fritz's idea to divvy up Poland, and he got Catherine and MT on board with it. That's some effective self-aggrandizement there, Fritz! Perpetuating misinformation throughout the ages. Tsk.

*chokes* Further evidence for mildred's theory on why Fredersdorf never learned French!

I'm telling you!

Lucchesini: Okay, so, never tell Fritz about my love interests, got it. Is it too late to pretend I only know Italian? It is, isn't it.
