I've an interest in the Second World War, particularly the lesser known actions of the Eastern Front. Also, European history, basically from Karl der Große to Gustavus Adolphus thru to the Seven Year's War, Franco-Prussian War and World Wars I and II.

The nickname comes from the Ansbach-Bayreuth dragoon regiment which saved Frederick the Great at the Battle of Hohenfriedberg, 4 June 1745. Their charge resulted in the capture of 2,500 Austrian troops and 67 regimental flags.

I think i'll take a break from the WWII articles, which seem to be quite controversial. I've recently been working on some Napoleonic articles. I want to work my way through the 1809 Danube Campaign. I've already completed the Battle of Teugen-Hausen and am working on the La Grande Armée article along with User:R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine). Oh, and i'm also a Goon.

And Laura is the cutest, coolest girl in the world!!
