About empty thrones, a lot can be said. Throughout history, both ancient and near modern, a lack of an heir and the sudden death of a beloved monarch always meant trouble. When the position of a king is up for grabs, a lot of eager hands come forward. Pretenders and would-be heirs, cousins and nephews, bastard sons and daughters - they all came forward staking their claim to the throne. In the history of Medieval England, such episodes were many. 

Richard Freiherr von Rosen was a highly decorated Wehrmacht soldier and outstanding panzer commander. After serving as a gunlayer on a Pz.Mk.III during Barbarossa, he led a company of Tigers at Kursk. Later he led a company of King Tiger panzers at Normandy and in late 1944 commanded a battle group (12 King Tigers and a flak company) against the Russians in Hungary in the rank of junior, later senior lieutenant (from November 1944, his final rank). Only 489 of these King Tiger tanks were ever built. 

"In der Fremdenlegion" wurde 1909 von dem deutsch-amerikanischen Autor Erwin Rosen veröffentlicht. In dem Buch verarbeitet er seine Erfahrungen in der französischen Fremdenlegion von seinem Eintritt im Oktober 1905 bis zu seiner Desertation irgendwann im Jahr 1906. Der Autor des Buches dachte, er wüsste etwas vom Militärleben. Er hatte während des Spanisch-Amerikanischen Krieges bereits bei den amerikanischen Streitkräften gedient. Wie viele junge Männer vor und nach ihm, entfaltete der vermeintliche "Glamour" des Lebens in der französischen Fremdenlegion seinen unwiderstehlichen Reiz.
