>Katte was beheaded at the fortress of Küstrin where the king forced Frederick to watch the execution. However when he was brought up to be executed, Frederick shouted in French to Katte, "Veuillez pardonner mon cher Katte, au nom de Dieu, pardonne-moi!" ("Please forgive, my dear Katte, in God's name, forgive me."). Katte called back in the same language, "There is nothing to forgive, I die for you with joy in my heart!" Frederick then fell to the floor in a dead faint.

What would a man of homoerotic tendencies would've thought of a violent government which suppressed homosexuality as degenerate?

nazis had serious problems with prussian traditions, ill let you figure out the rest

>>3206545
He'd have thought it was idiotic like Luddendorf and Hindenburg did.

>>3206545
>Prussian aristocrat
>Nazi plebs lead by a Bohemian private

Let me guess OP, you don't speak German and don't know much about German history?

Frederick was an enlightened monarch but he was anything but progressive. He firmly believed in the superiority of the aristocracy and wouldn't have approved of the egalitarian aspects of National Socialism.

>the egalitarian aspects of National Socialism.

all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others?

>>3206645
didn't he say that he was a monarch only by luck of beeing born into the right family?
doesn't it kinda imply that he did believe that people were equal?

>>3206655
NS wanted to do away with the Prussian Junkers
>>3206663
"Enlightened monarchs" believed it was the destiny of the aristocracy to rule over the plebs benevolently

>>3206667
NS wanted to do away with lots a people.

As often, Nazi propaganda was far away from reality, and corruption and favoritism was rampant in the NSDAP. Hence the therm Parteibonze.

You sure about that?

>>3206645
>egalitarian aspects
More like nationalistic or volkish aspects, egalitarian is hardly the correct term.

Luddendorf originated the term "Stab-in-the-back Myth. He thought they were retards.

>>3206667
I don't think enlightened monarchs believed in destiny

>>3206691
Duty is the word I should have used

>>3206693
fair enough, but i still dont quiet get how enlightened monarchs legitimize their power
if they don't believe in god, or at least that royal power comes from god, what give them the right to rule?

>>3206663
Frederick disapproved of non-aristocratic officers in the army. Under his rule the already small number of common officers became even further reduced.

>>3206698
From muh social contract

>>3206717
but do we know if he did it because of his ideology, or in order not to piss off his aristocratic staff?

>>3206698
the plebs are dumb and naive, i will lead my sheep blablabla

>>3206719
makes sense

>>3206690
He supported them in Hitlers coup attempt and he was way more pro-nazi than anti-nazi

>>3206616
An Austrian ruling the successor of his kingdom would've likely sent him into an apoplectic fit.

>>3206667
>"Enlightened monarchs" believed it was the destiny of the aristocracy to rule over the plebs benevolently
Most people in the 1800s believed that the lower classes were only fit to be ruled. Remember that Marx believed that "proletariat revolution" would be led by the bourgeois lawyers and academics and other educated middle class types. You still see that today too with most of your commies being university educated academics and the like.

Who cares. If Prussia didn't fail Germany in WW1, WW2 never would have happened.
