Sitting in King of Prussia, PA as I type this I will look out the window and salute the King of Prussia mega mall in his honor (and yes I know our little berg name was really to honor von Steuben). Alte, I think your ceremony is a bit more appropriate. |

And what do you want for your birthday?
Oh. Silesia? |

Always loved Napoleon's comment at Frederick's Tomb: "If he were still alive we wouldn't be here" |

Congratulations! Der Alte Fritz on "your" birthday celebration! As always your figures and staging are inspiring! I'm sure that the King would reward you as inhaber of these regts. with a small purse of gold ducats!
Thanks for posting. |

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, Herr König, doch wenn Sie Frieden wollen, hätten wir am liebsten Schlesien noch mal unter Maria Theresia verbundet. |
