Der junge Alexander eroberte Indien. Er allein? Caesar schlug die Gallier. Hatte er nicht wenigstens einen Koch bei sich? Philipp von Spanien weinte, als seine Flotte Untergegangen war. Weinte sonst niemand Friedrich der Zweite siegte im Siebenjhrigen Krieg. Wer Siegte auer ihm? (Bertolt Brecht) Young Alexander conquered India. Did he do it alone? Caesar conquered the Gauls. Didn't he at least have a cook with him? Philip II of Spain wept when hes fleet sank. Didn't anyone else weep? Frederick II won the Seven YearsWar. Who else won apart from him?
