So you know what I'm thinking? I'm thinking we have another simplification here.
Having gone through Seckendorf's report, I'm thinking you're right. Also, the fact that Peter took the time to have lunch or dinner with Keppel (the former Dutch resident in Berlin, who, however, seems to have been a Prussian citizen*, since Seckendorff mentions later FW is pissed off with "General Keppel for aiding Keith") would indicate he's at this point not yet aware that FW is after him and he has to fear for his life.
*Like Stratemann was actually a Prussian citizen but appointed envoy by the Duke of Braunschweig nonetheless.
I'm curious what you make of other details Hertefeld-via-Nicolai gives for the escape plan, but I'll fait for your comment on this before I ask.
