Re: Martin Sabrow's Gundling Biography: I

Love all of Sabrow's primary source research! Great and very interesting. (And I immediately put the Berliner Adreß-Kalender to good use.) But I would not have imagined that all the humiliations got reported in the yellow press court news. Damn.

at one point even hiding with SD, who helps him. (!)

! indeed! (What's the source for that one?) Also, one more data point showing the deliberateness on FW's part and how clear it was to others what was going on there.

Atheism is also ! Hm. I'm kind of wondering if there was some weird psychological thing going on where FW tormented Gundling because he also allowed him some influence despite looking down on him. I mean, yes, bad temper and cruelty, but both the relentlessness and the deliberateness, when he didn't have a personal investment like he did with Fritz for example, seems weird.
