Fritz definitely would. I'm also tickled about "Giant soldier–mania" - so FW did find his way into your version!
Fake memoirs are fiction
As we had plenty of opportunity to find out. Several times. BTW, as what do we count Henri de Catt? It's definitely RPF, but it's not a fake memoir in the sense that the fake Eugene/Austrian Trenck/Maintenon etc. memoirs are fake in that these are really the memoirs by the person whose name is on the title page, and he was Fritz' reader.
Yay for Emma Hamilton (and thus painter Romney) showing up in this version! I felt a bit guilty about not being able to work any of the Hervey stuff in, as I now have a soft spot for the entire mad clan. But then as you say, mine was Prussian-centric. I will say that Franklin shows up in mine, too, in the sole other line dealing with USian matters (in addition to the one about tax dodging). :)
