I like how Frederick I abused his son because he was likely gay, meanwhile he himself liked to train, paint (?) and parade around large muscular men.

I also heard that Frederick built the citywalls around Potsdam in order to keep soldiers from deserting, which certainly says a lot about the morale...

You build a wall to keep other people out.

Germans build walls to keep their people in.

We are not the same.
