Catsch is definitely a new one. Pity later researchers looking for Katte mentions.
Katte declaring that he regrets the placing of the scene is also a new one, and I must say I suspect this newspaper writer of a lot of artistic embellishment.
LOL on Grumbkow, because, yeah. Mind you, isn't Schulenburg related to G1's mistress and Katte's sort of aunt, now retired? also, I doubt this maneouvring would have helped Grumbkow in the long run if he'd lived into Fritz' reign instead of timely dying in 1739.

Yeah, or else the story had gone through several iterations before it got to him. You can see where it's based on a true story: Katte did reassure Fritz that he wasn't distressed by death, but then the story went a little off track.
