Johannes Kunisch, who is the German Fritz biographer who made my AP argue for a while that maybe Fritz was just pretending to be gay because Eugene and Turenne had made it fashionable
On the other hand, if Kunisch had been Eugene's biographer, I'm sure he would have found some Zimmermann analogue to argue that Eugene didn't marry because STD/disfigured genitals/etc and that he totally wasn't gay, lies and slander. :P (Salty, me? Totally. I sure turned off a random Fritz documentary because their expert was Kunisch, who was telling the nation at length that there's no way to say that Fritz was gay and see, there's this contemporary source, a guy called Zimmermann.)
Very pleased to learn about the Eugene/Marlborough military bromance, too.
