Koramei posted:The presence/lack of domesticatable animals, which he stressed is specifically as based on the luck of geography determining which regions had them and which didn’t. Yea, IIRC the point of that argument was that people who spend most of their time mastering the use of complex machinery, will be less skilled at improvising tools from random materials, compared to people who spend a lot of time making basic tools from scratch.

On the whole aim for the weak points thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PL2HFLRMI0 Seems like soldiers were encouraged to try and supress tanks to make it easier for the dedicated anti-tank stuff to do its job

I believe the Nizhny Tagil factory complex was a licensed copy of River Rouge. So there is Albert Khan again. That man was one of the most important persons for WW2 having the outcome it had.

All fortifications in history can be looked at as you need X resources to take this area. The effectiveness of fortifications in any specific time or place is dependent on how easy it is for an army of the time to amass X

Among all the other things wrong with that rant, studies made by the Norwegian army indicate that the rate of sexual harassment goes down when the number of women in the units goes up.

SeanBeansShako posted:What you skip Iron Maiden entirely? If Maiden has published videos on the historical background of their songs, please point me in that direction ASAP. That aside, Sabaton is one of my favorite bands and the first video they put out was about a battle I never knew much about, so I wanted to see if there was any obvious flaws or slant I should look out for.

InAndOutBrennan posted:I have no idea where you are from but here in Sweden there is a considerable overlap of not very progressive people who might not like other people (mostly brown) and Sabaton fans. I'm assuming those people just pretend songs like Rise of evil, Final solution and Wermacht dont exist ? I'm not really paying that much attention to the metal scene these days, but last I looked there wheren't significantly more of those people among the Sabaton fanbase than other metal bands.

So, was there ever lawsuits over whether someone qualified as a habitual surrenderer or not? Because that sounds like something that would happen.

Nebakenezzer posted:Thanks to the Aubrey-Martin novels, my go to is the Royal Navy in the Napoleonic era. Crews are so hard to come by press gangs are at work and prison hulks are emptied of prisoners - meanwhile every officer is trying to climb this ziggurat of rank which is insanely top heavy because seniority is almost everything, and there are all these dudes stuck ashore at half pay, trying to weedle themselves onto a ship where they might have good fortune/get promoted. The RN even had 'sessional lecturers' - officers who worked all the time but would never be promoted, because they were sailing transports or something. In 'Desolation Island', the gang gets saddled with an officer based on a real life one, who was a brilliant sailor but also a belligerent rear end who managed to get himself sent to the bottom of the lieutenant's list, so he's as old as Aubrey but still a Lt, and he's always crabbing about how lucky 'Lucky' Aubrey is. Lots of people and events in those books are based on real life. Aubrey himself is heavily based on Thomas Chocrane IIRC

Yeah the post war process of dealing with the Nazis was ... messy. Quisling and a score other high-ups getting tried and executed for treason is one thing, but there was quite a bit of vigilante mobs and people using the opportunities to settle personal scores.

Technology is one of several advantages one can have over ones opponent. whoever manages to get the most advantages and/or remove the enemy's advantages tend to be the winner.
