Not to focus on one's own answers, but I believe this post dealing with everything from 13 as unlucky to Slenderman proved to be a successful discussion, in no small part thanks to the persistence of the OP, /u/Kerkinitis. I point it out since it seemed no one else was reading it - I came to the question late (thank you mods for bringing it to my attention), so this all unfolded after the expiration date of the question. Perhaps others may find it useful as well.

I first ran upon this question as soon as it was posted, about a month ago. With my tiring work schedule, I realized it would take more than a few weeknights or weekends to gather up resources and give a proper answer, so I held off answering it until I could.

• Can it be statistically proved that the 'inexperienced reinforcement' units for example in WW2 or other large long conflicts suffered casualties at a quicker / bigger rate than the veterans?

Before coming up with the final product, I scrapped several far-too-long half-attempts at answers that were basically, prior to actually answering u/scientificsalarian's specific questions, explanations of how the entire replacement system functioned from beginning to end (which is, in my opinion, actually pretty critical in understanding how these "common knowledge" facts came to be). I basically boiled down my final answer to common psychological, physical, and tactical problems observed among replacement troops, and how they were treated by established unit members.

The Saturday Showcase doesn't get much love these days, so check out Week 36 of /u/klesk_vs_xaero's excellent Fascist Italy series here.

(And, just to toot my own horn, my far less formal, original and frankly far less impressive go at discussing Extra History's coverage of the Opium War here.)

Caribbean-theme week sadly got minimal love, so I am going to shamelessly share the one question I got time to answer today on the broad journey Britain's Caribbean colonies took to independence.

There was an already existing discussion, "Monday Methods: Holocaust Denial and how to combat it" by /u/commiespaceinvader , which I gather is the basis of the one standard mod-reposted reply in AskHistorians (the "basic, underlying facts of the Holocaust" reply). He also wrote a reply under "After WWII, what did the International Red Cross conclude, in it's investigations into the holocaust?" .

I was impressed by replies in the newer "How to refute a holocaust denier" . This one is more specifically on a specific case, counts and a report, and there are replies by /u/LiterallyBismarck , /u/vonadler , Sergey_Romanov, commiespaceinvader (pointing to previous replies and expanding on them), Searocksandtrees (pointing to previous replies), and Instantcoffees.

Unless someone thinks it's not worth it, I may mention this if I reply to a Holocaust denial post, though I may instead only report it to the mods for the boilerplate.
