Finished “The Hell of 1812” by @BartFunnekotter. A shocking account of the 15.000 Dutch soldiers who fought for Napoleon during the Russian campaign. 10.000 would not return. If it wasn’t for the Dutch engineers’ Napoleon's army would never have escaped across the Berezina river.
Все эти годы я преисполнялся в познании для того, чтобы, наконец, понять, что на моей любимой гравюре из музея 1812 года рядом с Наполеоном изображены Бессье и Мюрат. 👌
THE JUNIPER TREE
Most shocking of all fairy tales:
"My mother, she slew me,
My father, he ate me
My sister, Little Marlene,
Gathered up my bones,
Tied them up in silk,
And put them under the Juniper tree"
