Did they treat it on a case by case basis or did they have a particular department or organization in charge of repatriating and treating Allied POWs?

What advantages did that style provide over using only one sword, or a sword and a shield?

Were there lavish "last night of legal drinking" parties? Were people demanding the government reimburse them for goods they'd bought legally in good faith? Law enforcement can't possibly have gone door-to-door to every house in the US seizing booze, can they?

In the Talmud it says that the poor man's evening meal is "bread with salt." Would this be typical in Roman Judaea? What about the rest of the Roman world?

G'day folks! Just a quick question... What contributions does Aristotle have to the development of the periodic table? Thank you

Just saw this question elsewhere and realized it meets the time criteria.

We were discussing how maybe the sight or sound of birds would be one kind of signal. I can’t imagine the fear of being near a coastline in the fog at night

The holy books of the Abrahamic religions all seem to proscribe homosexuality. Why did this become such an important characteristic of these religions?

Since these religions developed during the time of the Roman republican and empire, and the Romans had fairly accepting attitudes towards homosexuality, is it probable that the religions were reacting against Roman practices?

I was listening to a podcast that quoted a English woman's diary as referring to Napoleon as something like a vampire that nearly sucked Europe dry. The revile directed at Hitler makes sense due to all the atrocities associated with the Nazis, but did Napoleon do anything we today would consider comparable (even slightly) to those atrocities?

Petersburg is, I think, famous as serving as a forerunner to WWI like trench warfare in 1864. But I was wondering if there is any evidence for trench warfare earlier in the war than this.

Thanks.

Just wondering if any poor unfortunate accused by the Church had any chance at all to prove their innocence and escape with their life and function of their limbs, or if the game was rigged against them from the start.

I’m reading “The First World War” by Keegan, and least in the first 100 pages or so he doesn’t really detail how infantry fought. He just mentions that they advanced, or that they retreated. Can anyone recommend any books that go into detail regarding infantry tactics for the period? Thanks!

What historical sources directly talk about verifiable and quantifiable aspects of medieval banditry?

How much income did an average bandit who was reasonably successful at his craft expect to take in? What sort of overhead would he have in fencing goods and avoiding repercussions? Would a bandit that managed to avoid death/capture expect to live an "outlaw" life for the rest of his days or would he have planned a retirement? If the latter then how long would a bandit expect to be in that line of work?

Was it common for governments, nobles, traders, travelers, etc. to keep records of how much was lost to bandits in coin, goods, and lives?

How did the realities of banditry differ from pop culture stereotypes according to the historical record?

Alexander founded dozens of Alexandrias, but I never understood how he simply up and "founded" cities -- cities are created over time, ancient ones over dozens of years. Did Alexander simply tell the locals "build a city here"? Were camp followers ordered to stay and make homes for themselves?

According to forgotten weapons videos, the German military liked the stg44 so much that they tried to replace the k98 with it. Ian also goes on to say why the stg 44 was advantageous compared to the k98.

But I'm sceptical that the stg44 actually gave the Germans a strategic advantage. Statistics on this topic don't exist as far as I'm aware.
