Peter, For the life of me, I can't remember the name of the leader of the German troops that helped America in the revolution, but it wasn't Howe. I will have to do more research.

Maybe they were not Prussians but the leader was very strict in military training, and demeanor.

I know there was a reason for France to send a fleet to help us. Anything to weaken the British Navy would be a boon to them.
