Friedrich der Große was a very Prussian king who primarily spoke French - one of the great ironies of European history (Pour le Mérite? Seriously?). He also lived and interacted with his soldiers in a way no modern leader can or could hope to, so it is no wonder that the Prussians tended to do better.
