GreyC Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) Well put. I was just paraphrasing Berthold Brecht who wrote (if I remember correctly: Julius Cesar conquered Gaul? Surely he must have had at least a cook supporting him...) ? On a more serious side: it seems hard to find biographical information and photographs of Franz on the net. It´s mostlyy about today´s head of the Wittelsbacher, also named Franz. GreyC Edited June 20, 2019 by GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
