Near Le Grand Chemin, France 1009 May 14, 1944
Three dozen paratroopers laid down heavy suppressive fire. Two machine guns were each sending short bursts at the dug-in German machine gun nests. Another pair of .30 caliber machine guns were firing longer bursts. Even as the fire base was...
The Greeks main disadvantage was the rigid phalanx. Even if from the front it was better, the Roman mandibular legion is more flexible and can outflank the phalanx
They need to reform the phalanx to be more flexible. Add other kinds of heavy infantry to the flanks to prevent envelopment. They...

Adding capacity to NYC is one of the obvious ideas--another subway tunnel under the Hudson to complement the PATH trains, a PATH extension to Staten Island, maybe a tunnel from SI to Brooklyn. Or a much earlier East Side Access and Penn Station Access to organize NYC's railroads more...

In April 1944 Brand was approached by SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann, head of the German Reich Security Head Office department IV B4 (Jewish affairs), who had arrived in Budapest to organize the deportations. Eichmann proposed that...
You forgot to mention the occasional vivisection without anathestia and the odd literally ritually butchering and eating them. Sometimes supposedly actually as part of the latter taking say a man's arm one day and his leg the next. Literal living larders.
And after the parachutes appear and germans order inmates into the barracks and start machine gunning people remaining on the streets, they still have no weapons...
The only non asb way of saving any substantial number of the inmates would be somehow scaring Germans into treating them better.
Either federal or an easier way of forming joint bodies (inter-state compacts?). Not sure how complicated it is over there to set up bodies with multiple states overseeing.
Most of us do get what you're saying, we just disagree with it. Partly it comes down to a car vs train judgment - if the...
Or just shoot them. It was an effective, if somewhat costly (in terms of ammunition and mental strain on the killers) solution before they adopted gas.
