Why was white bread such a relative luxury in the past? Was wheat really that expensive? All sources indicate that only aristocracy and rich people ate white bread lin larger numbers while commoners mostly ate ones made from rye and oats.

White bread looks nice. Brown bread with little shit on it does not. Even though it is healthier. Simple as that fám.

Humoral bullshit. Foods were judged by color and taste in how they would impact your health. Your circumstances of birth judged your personality and what you should eat.

>“Be aware that it is food which aught to cause growth. For adults, it replaces instantly that which, being dissolved in the body, would decrease in quantity. The most commendable is the one which forms a pure blood when being transformed; for example, a good loaf of semolina, the meat of young chickens. Likewise, the vegetable beet agrees with sick people. Amoung foods certain ones are thick; example; semolina and two-year-old lambs with flavorful meat. The fish caught in rocky waters is a thick food which agrees with people who have to work hard. Among foods, there are some which, by themselves unpleasant to taste, are useful such as mustard, onion and garlic. In reality, they generate yellow bile; they are sometimes used as medicine. There are some which produce black bile and may make certain people sick; for example, old goats, old bulls, bread make from wheat with its impurities; that is dangerous. There are also those which create plegm; for examle, large fish and milk."

In reality, there was no great difficulty nor expense in sieving wheat flour once it's gone through the gristmill. The upper classes could use slaves or servants for sieving duties... and the peasantry did not have the time nor the will to sieve flour.

Production of white flour caught on during later industrial ages because of its longer shelf life over wheat with the bran and germ still added. Hardtack is typically made with white flour, for instance.

How brutal was medieval warfare actually?
Compared to antiquity.

For some reason, when I think of combat in the middle ages I think of mud, blood, limbs falling off, decapitations and lots of violence.

But when I think of ancient warfare, it seems to be much more romanticized. Like it wasn't as hardcore. Or am I wrong?

Most deaths and casualties for soldiers throughout the middle ages would have been from disease and supply issues. Unless you were in a particularly bloody time you wouldn't see that many battles in your life as a career soldier.

Well, when it came down to it, you can imagine how a battle really was.
A big amount of levies and another part of professionals and knights.
It's as brutal as having people stabbing each other in close quarters can get.
Imagine a shitload of peasant levies getting hit by a huge wave of arrows.
I imagine it was really fucking gritty.

I . Slave revolts/dissention
II. Morally-opinionated markets
III It seems mistaken to believe that money flows in isolation, that is, autonomously.
IV. Slave population could be a consumer population
V. Transportation logistics would be more simple (i.e. moving slaves to and fro)

I think it's time for a new Funny historical moments thread.

I'll begin with OC

You may know the story of the russian baltic fleet and its disastrous journey to the pacific.
Let me tell you another devastating military failure.

And sorry for the bad english.

> Be a belgian officer in 1940
> Defending the mighty Ében-Émael, one of the strongest fortress of Europe
> 650 men garrisoned, 4 km of tunnels
> Double 120mm howitzer in a cupola, two double 75mm
> Twelve 75mm in pillboxes
> Anti-tank defenses all around, 60mm anti-tank tubes and machine guns everywhere
We can stop an entire army
We are Belgians, we are kings, we will defend against Germany

> Be the 10th of May
> 00:30 AM
> We receive the "Alerte Alfred"
The Germans are here at last.
> Fullalert.mp3
We will stop the Wehrmacht
Wait.
Where is everyone ?
> Most of the garrison is sleeping outside of the fortress.
> They should have been awoken by 20 cannon shots from the North and the South
> North turret is unoccupied
> South turret have mounted the firing pins upside down. A gunsmith is sent to repair the howitzers.
Merde.png
Ok but where are the garrisoned soldiers ?
> Commander Jottrand recalled them ALL to remove the archives from the outside barracks, because they are in front of the howitzers.
> The fortress is undefended
Putain.jpg
-But wait ! Some turrets are manned
> Gunners did not load them
> During past excercises, they were scolded because they opened the airtight ammo stocks
> This time, they decided to keep them sealed and wait.

> 69 motherfucking german soldiers, boosted with amphetamines, are destroying the turrets, cupolas and pillboxes one by one with hollow charges
> Everyone is terrified and fleeing
> 10 minutes later, all of the heavy defense is down
> The motherfucking german soldiers entered the fort with pistols and our troops are retreating everywhere
> Fucking commander Jottrand is giving erroneous orders

Long story short
> 24-hours "siege"
> Germans paras are still there, they are destroying everything with their hollow charges
> Only six of them are dead
> Fucking commander Jottrand is calling for help, but the belgian division is lost somewhere and phone lines are being cut
> More Germans are coming
> Stukas are bombing everything

At last
> We decide to surrender
> Ambassador is sent out to negociate an honorable surrender
> We open our main door...
> Ambassador is knocked out, Germans are rushing inside thanks to the wide opened door. They soon take the whole fortress.
Putain de chier.mp34

Belgium is open to the Germans. Panzers went through and did not stop their journey until Dunkerque.
Ében-Émael was not even a strategic point. Goebbels just wanted it for the lulz and propaganda.

>>2553420

basically a belgium repeat of the battle of Liège in WW I

> Be late sumer 1914
> Everyone knows germany will pass through liege
> Belgium build stronk concrete fortress to withstand 20 cm guns and block path
> Germany uses 40 cm guns
> It's very effective!

Literally the only thing stopping it from being a quicker seige was the time required to set up the 410mm artillery

wikipedia and the uneducated will claim this delayed the germans long enough for british french to gather forces but germany would later have open paths to paris that could have completed the von schleifen plan with minimal delays well before january had they taken these opportunities
