In our last installment, our heroes found that Henri de Catt's memoirs, a major source for current biographers of Frederick the Great, are not to be trusted!!

Re: Zimmermann sets the record straight

[selenak]

Zimmermann might have been the very first Fritz/MT-shipper, come to think of it! In the 19th century, others joined, but in 1790 she and he were too recently dead, and both Prussia and Austria being humiliated by Napoleon, which led to Fritz and MT being recalled as national champions with hurt pride and fondness hadn‘t happened yet.

Meanwhile, everyone else in the 18th century was antishipping them („our Protestant hero would never!!!!“, and, of course, Eugene going „...that‘s one dangerous young man“ when Fritz first proposed the idea), so ZImmermann was a true pioneer.

ROTFL. And Katte (a lying liar who lies while under threat of torture, anyway) claimed to be trying to help Fritz *escape* from this Evil Catholic Plot...so truly a pioneer!
