His desire for his comrade, whose uniform reveals skin, a lot of skin, is reciprocated. Gay sex in Prussia, 1760. Not in the military regulations. No matter. Still hot, or perhaps even because of it. Gay love is as old as humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd yet, we present here \u003cstrong\u003ean image that was never painted\u003c\/strong\u003e. Until we took hold of the art that concealed and had to conceal gayness. We created a work with the esprit, artistry, and genius of old masters, which does not celebrate Prussia and its militarism, but rather destroys the very values that celebrated death. \u003cstrong\u003eMake Love not war\u003c\/strong\u003e was on our flags a few hundred years later.

It is older – by almost 200 years. Frederick the Great founded the Death's Head Hussars in 1741, Prussia's most famous elite unit.
