On May 11, 1720, Karl Friedrich Jerome von Munchausen, better known as Baron Munchausen, was born in the German city of Bodenwerder. For more than ten years he served in the cuirassier of Braunschweig regiment of the Russian army, but did not participate in any battles during this time and did not receive awards. Munchausen became famous as a narrator of incredible stories, which were supplemented by his own fantasies and subsequently formed the basis of a number of literary works and films.
