Historical Characters, Including Frederick the Great, Discussion Post 44

[cahn]

Not only are these posts still going, there is now (more) original research going on in them deciphering and translating letters in archives that apparently no one has bothered to look at before?? (Which has now conclusively exonerated Fritz's valet/chamberlain Fredersdorf from the charge that he was dismissed because of financial irregularities and died shortly thereafter "ashamed of his lost honor," as Wikipedia would have it. I'M JUST SAYING.)

Re: The two letters from Glasow to Fredersdorf - Translation

[mildred_of_midgard]

Meanwhile, I wouldn't be surprised if Fredersdorf did wonder whether any dislike or distrust he may have had for Glasow was simply due to the fact Glasow was the hot red Porsche of hussars, and told himself not to be ridiculous.

Love it! Would read that fic! Especially as a sequel to "The Adventure of the Time-Travelling Valet." (Hey, we have a whole cast of characters for this episode now, including Joseph Benda and Mrs. Leining!)
