Today:
Welcome to this week's instalment of /r/AskHistorians' Sunday Digest (formerly the Day of Reflection). Nobody can read all the questions and answers that are posted here, so in this thread we invite you to share anything you'd like to highlight from the last week - an interesting discussion, an informative answer, an insightful question that was overlooked, or anything else.
I quite enjoyed /u/true_new_troll on Why was America so afraid of the spread of communism after WWII?
/u/sunagainstgold on "What are the chances of the Holy Grail still existing today?" and "The working people, particularly skilled labourers in Europe who survived the Black Death are often said to have largely benefited from the die off, mostly at the expense of the nobility How much upward social mobility was there really? Did it last more than a generation or two?"
/u/mythoplokos on "Did Roman generals/emperors really have a slave present at their triumphs to tell them "remember you are a man"? If not where does the myth come from?"
/u/dandan_noodles did a nice job discussing the relative doctrinal strengths and weaknesses of the Wehrmacht on the eve of WWII, as well as some insight into major German military thinkers of the interwar period.
Georgy, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this post, if any.
One answer I want to point out as especially good this week was /u/Kugelfang52 and How did Nazi Germany reconcile their treatment of Jews, namely the 'Final Solution' for the Christian majority in the nation?
