Frederick the Great would start a fire that would burn through the world but there was one thing standing in his way, his father. After developing a fascination with strategy battlefield tactics and leadership during the War of Polish Succession he was ready to become king. He'd studied philosophy, writing his own book. Hired architects, artists, and planned to fund science and education. However, Frederick soon found being king and talking about battle tactics was very different than waging your first battle.

@0:22 "Frederick is embedded with the forces of the Holy Roman Empire, confronting the French under the famed general, Prince Eugene of Savoy." The way this is phrased and spoken, it sounded like Prince Eugene was leading the French. Was this intended?

John Cox

@3:54 It says that Frederick received word of his father's sickness in May, 1740, but a little later it says that his father died on March 31, 1740. Month mixup?

Will of the Supreme Chicken, actually. It'd be kind of boring if they got all their facts right.
