Was there ever any economist claiming that such institutions were vital and if we started regulating them to standards the economy and thus people would suffer even more?

I guess the eastern front too, but the western was so tight and fiercely fought for over such little ground. How did they remove the bodies? Where'd they put them? Wouldn't retrieving and burying tens of thousands (sometimes) of men a day or week be an astronomical logistics nightmare that would divert considerable resources? ie: you'll need men, trucks or horses, food, a system for identifying who they are and where they should go, etc. Right? How'd this work?

I ask this because I've noticed in a few games that I've played that the demo units tend to be Scottish. In Company of Heroes, a WW2 RTS game, the British faction's sappers are Scottish. In warcraft 3 the sapper units, mortar teams, and the Dwarves in general (which tend to favor weapons that go boom) speak with Scottish accents. And of course Team Fortress 2 with its Demoman class who is a Scot.
Just curious where this trend came from.

Did the Nazis have any crazy, sci-fi type ambitions?

As the title states how did parts of Scotland turn to the feudal system? After existing within a tribal culture for so long, was the transformation gradual or did it occur under a single king, for example.

If I remember correctly, Winterfell is warmed by natural hot springs piped through the castle walls, and the Dreadfort has something similar.
Was there anything like this recorded in history? I only know of a few places off the top of my head where someone could find natural hot springs, and would that have even been viable to heat something as large as a castle?

I've ready that many presently fiercely religious groups like Chechens were very secular during the Soviet Era. Is this accurate?
