Potsdam Giants


 

The Potsdam Giants was a Prussian infantry regiment composed of taller-than-average soldiers. Its founder was the Prussian king Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia (1688-1740). The unit was known as the ?Potsdamer Riesengarde? ("giant guard of Potsdam") in German, but the Prussian population quickly nicknamed them the ?Lange Kerls? ("Long guys").
