I wasn't expecting Austrian Trenck to do Rasputin one better, either! BTW, it just so happens that his body got mumified, so current historians could check, and he did have, among other things, a broken and perfectly reset leg, for example, as well as various other injuries.
A+ motivational speech!
His Pandurs thought so, according to him. :)
OMG. Assuming this is accurate (I'm scarred by Prussian Trenck not even having *been* at Soor, but this seems plausible considering we know the camp/baggage train was sacked), that's awesome!
Well, Austrian Trenck definitely was in charge of the raiding (which we know due to the accusation at his first trial that Fritz must have bribed him, as well as the blame for being co-responsible that he and Nadasty didn't as ordered circumvent the Prussians and attack them from behind, as opposed to plundering their camp), we know Fritz writes that "the entire bagggage" was stolen, we know Heinrich and AW were both at Soor with him, so I'd say it's really likely that Austrian Trenck is telling the truth about having made the three brothers cloth- and laundryless. (Though I bet some officers the right size were ordered to help out until he got his stuff back. Still, it makes for a valuable addition to Fritz' having just a really bad week, despite his victory.)
(Heinrich: and what kind of week do you think we were having as a consequence?) (AW: Guys, guys, there are a lot of ponds and rivers here. Why don't we use the opportunity and practice swimming a lot?)

Yup.

Agreed! More than makes up for his batman not having been accused of spying that week. I don't remember if I mentioned this before, but that migraine Fritz has in "Care and Feeding of Italian Greyhounds" a couple days after the battle was based on something that I found at least in a biography, even if not in a primary source. And whatever biographer it was wrote, "Probably stress," and I agreed.

Lol forever.
EC and Louise: also having a really bad week, possibly a worse one *after* AW got Fritz to write the uncondolence letter.
