What is the name of this sea my king?" "That is the sea of vanities," replied Friedrich. Slowly and tired from the long ride, he dismounts his beloved horse and goes to the bank. "Countless of our ancestors bathed here."
“Sit down, my king, you are exhausted. We'll take a break.” Lieutenant Colonel Kurt Christoph Graf von Schwerin set up a camp in a few simple steps under the protection of a dune.
“Kurt, we're going to war soon. I want you to get the troops ready. You are in command. Silesia is ours! I will bring back what was not allowed to Father." "At your service, my King! I will always be by your side!"
The November wind was blowing rough across the stormy sea. It was as if the waves reflected Friedrich's inner turmoil. Despite the differences of opinion with his father, Friedrich stood by him when it came to Silesia.
Friedrich wanted nothing more than to finally occupy Silesia and defeat the Austrians.
Two wild geese passed by and woke those who were sleeping with their screams.
Friedrich got up and took his sword. "Come on Kurt, let's go." Kurt helped him onto his horse. “Yes, my King, we still have a long way to go. May God help us!"
