Oh it has something to do where you come from, simply because I suggest that someone who actually is from Germany will most likely have a deeper insight in his or her country's history than a foreigner. That is true for Germany at it is for France or the US.
Golo Mann is a respected historian, not a politician. I quoted from "Deutsche Geschichte des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts" which is generally accepted as the most outstanding work concerning this era. Frederick the Great - in this specific case - is mentioned not to single out one person (who indeed lacked interest in Germany), but is as a general example of his era. An era where there was no German fatherland.
But I understood your argument, don't you worry about that. But it lacks evidence.
