Can anyone point me in the right direction of any literary accounts of this splendid little war? Has Ambrose produced anything on this? Nate

Nate warspite1 Sadly Ambrose never got round to covering this, the reasons for which can be found in his 1956 blockbuster "Why I never wrote about the Prussian Incursion of 1807". I will see what I can dig up, but from memory wasn't it all to do with disputes along the Prusso-Greek border?

nate25 -> RE: The Prussian Incursion Of 1807 (3/5/2014 5:32:56 PM)
I think that's the case; however Greece was just Monaco's proxy in this instance. There's Swedish involvement too (Those bullying Swedes) - I really am becoming intrigued with this. Nate

PunkReaper -> RE: The Prussian Incursion Of 1807 (3/5/2014 5:34:42 PM)
Is this another one of these political debates....[;)]

warspite1 -> RE: The Prussian Incursion Of 1807 (3/5/2014 5:36:17 PM)
Yes it is - but don't worry I will do my best to get it closed down before the conversation gets too heated and people start acting arseholey....

PunkReaper -> RE: The Prussian Incursion Of 1807 (3/5/2014 5:42:38 PM)
Sending this statement to the Swedish embassy There's Swedish involvement too (Those bullying Swedes) But seriously more of these sort of discussions would make this forum more interesting...

Here is an extract from a conversation between Prince Ranier III of Monaco and the Prussian ambassador on the 30th February 1807: Prussian Geezer: Why do you waste your time on Greece? Prince Rainier: Greece is the word, is the word that you heard It's got groove, it's got meaning. Greece is the time, is the place, is the motion. Now, Greece is the way we are feeling. Prussian Geezer: I feel the urge to dance - would you permit me the honour Prince Rainer?

No debate, just the facts please - this is a serious historical forum, after all. We've a reputation to look after.

Orm -> RE: The Prussian Incursion Of 1807 (3/5/2014 5:50:35 PM)
So why the winking then? [&:]

nate25 -> RE: The Prussian Incursion Of 1807 (3/5/2014 5:53:00 PM)
Here's an interesting little fact. Lohanby Lindsanius, an obscure but powerful Swedish smuggler from the Goteborg area, funded a reg't of professional soldiers to go to the Greek border. Anyone have a clue what he was smuggling? Had to be quite profitable.

She could have been secreting a shed load of the stuff within her underclothes?

Orm -> RE: The Prussian Incursion Of 1807 (3/5/2014 5:57:02 PM)
He was smuggling paper clips. This was very profitable since they had not yet been invented.

Excellent work W1. That coincides with the legend that an entire family of homeless Swedish peasants could set up house in a set of her discarded undergarments. Things are starting to make sense.

nate25 -> RE: The Prussian Incursion Of 1807 (3/5/2014 6:06:55 PM)
Her reg't had 4 companies of regular paid professionals - and two other rather odd companies, one composed of Iowans and the other Minnesotans. Rather unsavory lot all in all.

Interesting....

Apparently all the Iowans were related to each other, while less said about the Minnsodans the better - that is another story altogether.... Yuk....

Interesting.... He started the incursion to hide the involvement. If he had written about it then all of it would have been even more lies and that would just cause more ways to bugger the initial lie.

nate25 -> RE: The Prussian Incursion Of 1807 (3/5/2014 6:11:36 PM)
True, W1. "Bugger it all" was not an epitaph you threw around lightly in that company.

The only thing wrong with your theory is that it is total Sloblocks... Ambrose was born almost 100 years after the Incursion [X(]

Orm -> RE: The Prussian Incursion Of 1807 (3/5/2014 6:13:50 PM)
Ah! So he would like you to believe.

First trooper of said regiment. [image]local://upfiles/29130/0958624A0127402784E790AD311B11EA.jpg[/image]

nate25 -> RE: The Prussian Incursion Of 1807 (3/5/2014 6:17:28 PM)
Ahh, Orm. While it's commendable that you defend your fellow countrymen, there's just no denying Sweden's massive warmongering in the past. Why, you even sent soldiers to the GBPBW!

Posting pictures of Aussie Surfer Dudes in Australian Beauty threads... Hideous nation.... wasn't Adolf Hitler Swedish?
