Tears in his eyes: that's from Manger, though I'm not sure Manger says "Dresden"; in any event, Fritz wasn't there, he was in Breslau. With Amalie visiting. Which I happen to know. (Lehndorff writes about her visiting Fritz there in January. Winter HQ 1758: definitely BRESLAU.) As to who Manger might have it from: well, Fritz' idea of keeping him busy in the later 7 Years War was to let him teach the younger pages. (He even mentions a von Pirch as his favourite student, but it can't have been Carel since Manger says his von Pirch later went into French service, and Carel died.) So maybe from them?
acquitted himself so well that Fritz made him valet and gave him Zernikow (either chronological nonsense on Ledebur's part
Definitely that, as Exner claims it as well, and yeah, no. We have the 1740 dcoument (with all of Fritz' shiny new titles, remember), since Fahlenkamp thankfully reprinted it. Can you imagine what FW would have said if Fritz had given Fredersdorf something like Zernikow in his life time? *head explodes*
Speaking of rumors about Fredersdorf's Paris trip, something I didn't tell you is that Manger says there were rumors he met Louis XIV there. Which he doesn't believe, but there were rumors. Good on you for not believing them, Manger, what with Le Roi Soleil being dead since decades and Fredersdorf not into necromancy...
Also of interest: Fredersdorf was a musician and son of a musician, but because he was so tall and well-built/well-grown? (gut gewachsen), he had to serve in the army!
Well that was in Fahlenkamp as well. Again, I say, he so lucked out FW didn't recruit him as his personal oboist!
