>>481056
Is there some sort of chief world history organization that decides whether a reconstruction of something historical is valid?

They are quite likely monks yes.

Then again perhaps I'm underestimating what professional historians actually know off the tops of their heads. Does the average historian really know, for example, the number of men involved in a particular battle, the order of battle, the commanders, the casualties, etc of a campaign in ancient times? Or do they usually consult the sources and take notes before giving a speech about it or something.

And yes before anyone tells me, I already tried googling it. Didn't get any results, just practice AP exams for generic "world history." I'm looking for specific exams and quizzes over things like Alexander's conquests, the Punic Wars, stuff like that.

You could probably download some. Find an examination body, and History Past Paper.

If God and Satan were real, than the book of Job rather firmly declares that Satan works for God, and there is no treason.

>>480917
Doesn't declare that anywhere, m80

>>480922

You haven't actually read Job, have you? Or did you somehow miss the parts where Satan walks up and down the earth, investigating things and then reporting them to God? Or how he has to ask God for permission before he starts smiting people?

The Stasi, no contest. Did its job exceedingly well and cleanly, most people were barely aware it of its operations.

Get out peasant

As I get older the more fucked up the whole commissar thing was. These were a bunch of 23-26 year olds radicalized by communist and executing their fellowman. Idk the older I get the more fucked up war seems. It blow mys mind when I hear about how young guys had a bunch of men under their command. Major Winters was only like 26 years old by the time of Bastonge.

>>482344
Who else was supposed to lead a command during war? All the ones who saw combat and were old were also dead.

Si

you should go back to /int/

Bit offtopic, but I find Waterhouse to be one of the greats, and I feel like he never gets the attention he deserves, or maybe I just prefer his style of paintings over that of Picasso or Dali.

Pretty much always

define good and bad

A lot of times there just wasn't really a good guy. Like WW1, the Russian Revolution, pretty much every Chinese civil war, the recent and current conflicts on the Middle East.

>special military units
The First King of Prussia was obsessed with tall guardsmen. There was a height requirement to be a Prussian Guard to the King.

Also Grenadiers were big men since the belief being large cunts can throw grenades further. Eventually Grenade throwing was phased out and Grenadiers were just selected for their physical strength as they were shock troops and expected to ace in hand2hand combat.

No, you're thinking of academia qua profession.
