you can bet that if Voltaire would have heard gossip of either variation re: a temporary Fritz/Fredersdorf fallout back in the day (i.e. either "Fritz was going to sack him for a handsome subaltern, UNTIL" or "Fritz was going to put him back into the army, UNTIL), he'd have included it in either the pamphlet or the memoirs
Re: Fredersdorf: Prime Suspect? (or: By Jove, I've found it!)
Ha! Good point.
