Wow, thank you very much for the write-up of the article and the diaries. The diaries were fascinating, and yes, I can see that they would be horribly intense and sad. :/ But even apart from that, Klepper seems like quite an individual.
And I am interested in the medical side of things, so will check this and the Fritz article out when I can read just a little bit faster than at present. ;)
FW: not anyone else's idea of company to cope with horrible times. But his.
For all that FW is a hard no for me personally, and Klepper's view of FW is quite different from mine, I guess I can see this? He just has a different problematic fave than I do.
Yeah, that makes sense -- I was unable to find most stories about him endearing, but I can see how another person might (like the meeting his Maker in uniform, which I think I knew too many other stories about FW to find endearing but can see how someone else might).
That's the only story about him I really like, and I like it enough that I dearly wish it had been anyone else! :P
I mean, there are stories that involve FW that I find deeply entertaining (like the single combat), but the dying in uniform story is the only one that strikes a chord with me in terms of making me like *him as a person*.

...It is outweighed by all the other stories.
