but you know what we agreed on re: pov, and what it betrays about who's telling the story.
No, I totally agree. I haven't been able to read the sources myself, but I trust both of you to sort out the unaccounted for elements and recognize the POV, so it does very much sound like Wartensleben was reporting to Manteuffel.
Thank you for teaching me the term IM!
Wartensleben: Well, Fritz once called him his Socrates!
Good grief, how many does he need? And did this one get a golden walking stick head? :P
Misunderstanding alert! I just wanted to make a joke, letting Wartensleben excuse himself for spying on Fritz by pointing out Fritz had called Manteuffel his Socrates.
