    Greetings @panzerman —I found this cool YouTube video and thought you'd be interested. It's a clip from a longer movie. It shows some of the tactics and training of Frederick the Great's cavalry (Garde du Corps)

    Well, I don't have any from Kaiser Bill, but I've got his grandpappy Willy.

    I've also, coincidentally, got his Grandma Victoria:

    In historical terms, Kaiser Wilhelm II was a progressive emperor. He had the misfortune that the Serbian Secret Police/ Black Hand plotted and succeeded in assassinating the Archduke Ferdinand and his spouse in Sarajevo in 1914. This led to war between Serbia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Czar Nicholas II with all his domestic problems thought it would be a good time to declare War on the latter. This forced the Kaiser to come to the aid of Franz Josef, due to previous alliances, which ultimately led to WW1/ Russian Revolution/ Communist Regimes that killed 150+ million in China/USSR/Cambodia.
