The King's Section

The king asked every new soldier three questions at their first meeting: 'How old are you? How long have you served me already? Do you like the food or the quarters here?'

A man from another country faced the issue of not knowing the German language and being unable to understand the king's questions.

The king's favorite group of soldiers in his army was a section of tall soldiers that he kept under his own care and loved to watch.
