Why is he eating tree bark? Initially because I kept thinking about how the Great Famine of the early 14th century must’ve sucked for him (because if I remember correctly the Teutonic Knights were affected as well), but more so because he just strikes me as the kind of person who’d eat whatever is available with little regard for taste when there’s a food shortage

My favorite theme for Gilbert remains water. Prussia, the country born along the Baltic sea.
Vague context here is the battle of Waterloo, Gilbert’s uniform is based on the uniform Blücher is depicted with. The Iron Cross was introduced in 1813 in honor of the late Queen Luise. It was established on her birthday.
