This is the treaty where Prussia got most of Swedish Pomerania
And Fredersdorf becomes a Prussian citizen. Otherwise, he and Fritz would never have met, so this is an important historical date!
So Rottembourg is totally passing on secrets to his buddy Whitworth, the English diplomat.
Given that French/English relations were no warmer in this century than they were in most centuries, I find this extra remarkable. Was Withworth financially sound, or could his sympathy for Rottembourg have come with some financial encouragement?
