One of the things I learned from Duffy was that Valori wrote memoirs. They seem to be legit, as in written by him. But who knows! I also don't know if they're Mitchell-style or Catt-style.
Unfortunately, I can't find the memoirs in English, so if anyone wants to read them, I'll have to put them through the no-longer-free translation algorithms. The estimated cost would be $20-$25, for about 1,000 pages in 2 volumes.
The one thing I've learned (assuming they're trustworthy) was that after the battle of Soor, at the end of September, dognapped Biche wasn't returned until the peace was made in December, and "her restoration was almost an article of the treaty."
Frau von Nadasty: But you told me I could keep her! She's adorable! I want to keep her!
Nadasty: How was I to know the Robber King is dog mad? Look, we've just lost a battle. The way this guy sounds, I wouldn't put it beneath him to go after us just to get the bloody dog back
!
Also, if this is correct, my fic was wrong in assuming she was returned at the same time as the POWs! (No mention of any other dogs, but that was intentional creative license anyway--Richter thinks the other animals mentioned in the letter are horses.)
So if anyone ever wants to write another take on the post-Soor events, we have Heinrich and AW present, Fritz and Heinrich drowning in overlarge shirts, and Biche not returned for 2-3 months!!
