I was tired of reading the same old information, some of it bad about Liechtenstein so I decided to dive in and see what I could find.

For Englisher readers search online and chances are you'll read:
- The Liechtenstein Army's role in the Austrian Prussian War of 1866. 80 men went to guard a pass in Italy and they came back with 81 (an Italian "friend"). No, they came back with an Austrian, maybe a liaison officer or maybe someone heading home in the same direction.
- A Swiss unit on night exercises inadvertently "invaded" the principality. 1km in they realized their mistake and withdrew and the Swiss apologized.
- Vaduz Castle was razed by the Ottomans twice, in 1529 and 1683. Wrong. Confused with Liechtenstein Castle near Vienna.
