John Kettler Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 Der Alte Fritz, You got to hang out with Christopher Duffy? Fantastic! Got to read his phenomenal FIRE AND STONE many years ago. Lucky you to have had such a splendid grog experience! 2 x Der Alte Fritz--imagine that.

Der Alte Fritz Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Dear John We did three trips around old Prussia. I remember one discussion about a battle hinged on why the Austrians removed the shoes from their horses before the battle. Luckily being a horseman and having some knowledge of C18th horseshoes I was able to supply the answer. How groggy is that! But in the intervals we were able to explore the Seelow Heights and the area of the Battle for Berlin and Festung Breslau, together with the Napoleonic battlefields of Bautzen and Katsbach. And of course we went to Potsdam, Sans Souci and visited the grave of the great man himself - buried in the garden with his favourite dogs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
