Friedrich will become famous soon enough
But it seems that Hitler and Goebbels ignorned some facts about Friedrich 'der Große' like he was an enlightened monarch who believed in human rights and freedom —being personal friend of Voltaire, who the nazis despised along all the ideals of the French Revolution—, a man who relied on his subordinates, who liked, appreciated and expanded culture instead of destroying it. And of course they ignored the great King's weakness for tall and handsome lads...
