Fritz is an interesting character. He was an atheist and a German who hated the German language and culture.

NAPOLEON SWIFTLY conquered Prussia in October 1806

And the Prussians got their revenge at Waterloo in 1815.

The French aren't going to hold the Germans down for long.

Fritz is an interesting character.

With a father like he had, there was no choice in the matter.

But he gave his dog a German name: Hasenfuss (rabbit's foot).

I visited his palace in Potsdam in 1972. At the time, Potsdam was in East Germany, and it was hard for an American to get there because we had no diplomatic relations with the Soviet Zone (I refuse to call it the GDR), but I was able to join a handful of Americans on a tour bus that departed from West Berlin. I was amazed as to how well it was preserved.

Is it a coincidence that most of the ‘great’ people back in the day had one thing in common???

Vlad, Attila, Peter, Catherine, Richard, Frederick and a host of others had the same middle name???
