We've all seen tanks with names and images painted on them. What is the process to getting this done? Does the tank crew have to get permission from someone first? Was it pretty unregulated? I've hit google and gotten nothing at all on this topic.

Between the Franks, the Saxons, and the various Germanic tribes, it seems like Roman tactics had stopped giving the Roman Empire the tactical superiority that had helped the empire expand as much as it did.

Did the various tribes use Roman tactics, thus negating a Roman advantage? Were the barbarians so numerically superior that Roman tactics were no longer useful?

If I was a member of a standard Heer Infanterie-Division, not a mechanized one, how much of my movement would be done on foot?

If I was not currently in an active part of the front, would I be moving by train? Wagon? Horseback? Or would the entirety of my advance through the Soviet Union during Operation Barbarossa consist of walking?

As a less important curiosity, what about my Soviet counterpart?

In the movie The Hateful Eight the character John Ruth says: "I don't like cheating the hangman. He's got to make a living too."
 
Is this true? Were hangmen paid per hanging? Did this not create a possible conflict of interest?

This probably has been answered before but because the two civilizations are close to each other. So how did they interact and view each other's peoples/civilizations?

We hear examples of men carrying multiple pistols into battle (particularly in the navy). How would these have been carried? Are depictions of holsters and shoulder holsters accurate or a movie creation?

I've been wondering whether the Barbarian "Invasions" are a bit of a misnomer, and I'd like to know more. What were the circumstances of the migration period in ancient Rome? Were people really invading, or were they simply migrating because they had nowhere else to go? What spurred the migrations? How did Rome deal with the migrants? Did the Romans give any of them citizenship, or some other legal status? Might some of the migrants be considered refugees by modern standards? How did the migrations affect Roman attitudes toward multiculturalism? Also, if you know of any, I'd love to hear recommendations of sources for further reading on this topic!

Adding the question posted by TheRetardedGoat:

"Adding to the question, did the Israelites and Egyptians share any cultural/religious traditions?"

Hi Historians! I'm in my first year of studying History in University and it's a question one of my teachers brought up today but left sort of unanswered and I've been curious about the answer since. Would the societies of ancient History such as Romans or Egyptians have known of the existence of extinct species? When were they first known of? Are there sources or information that suggest they did know about them?

Was Europe afraid of a return to the napoleonic era?

I've heard that it was a very controversial and contentious issue at that time, but have never really understood why it mattered all that much which was chosen. As I understand it different sections of the population favored one or the other. What were the rationale behind these positions?

Would Amsterdams harbor be larger than Rotterdams harbor is now?

Was it wast farmlands, grassland or desert or dry lands like now? When did it change? why did it change?

Was just reading a post on the front page that had facts about US presidents and many were lawyers. Did they go to law school as we know it today? Did students read a bunch of case law and take bar exam?
