Hey, /tg/ here. I am an avid 0layer of historical war games and war games in general. I just started a ww2 British army. I am a yank so I have very little idea about the British army during this era as nobody really talks about the Brita here in burgerland.
I was looking to see if any of you could give me good sources to poke around for info on British army organization during that era.
If you have any info that you would like to post here about the British army and it's organization in the 1940s (especially 43-45) I would be very grateful.

No. Soviet expatriate Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum was a sexually frustrated anti-commie whose fanatic anti-communism was just as noxious and full of mental gymnastics as the regular communism her family escaped from. Outside of sociopathic, crypto-jewish power-fantasy, her ideology has no bearing on reality.

Jesuit Luís Fróis on Oda Nobunaga:
>"This King of Owari, who would be around 37 years old, is tall of stature, lean, sparsely bearded, with extremely sonorous voice, given to military exercises, indefatigable, inclined to works of justice and compassion, arrogant, a great lover of honour, very secretive in his decisions, a master of stratagems, hardly or not at all mindful of the reprimands or advice of his subordinates, and is feared and venerated by all to the highest degree. He does not drink wine, is brusque in his manner, looks down upon all the other kings and princes of Japan and speaks to them with disdain as if to his inferiors, is totally obeyed by all as the absolute lord, has good understanding and sharp judgements, despises the gods, the Buddhas, and all other kinds of idolatry and pagan superstition. Nominally, he professes to belong to the Lotus sect, but openly declares that there is no creator of the universe, no immortality of the soul, or life after death. His buildings are very clean and refined, and always in perfect order. He hates delays and circumlocution, and not even a prince appears before him bearing a sword; he always has two thousand pages or mounted guards with him. His father was Lord of Owari Province, but he, through his immense energy, has subjected seventeen or eighteen provinces in the last four years. He conquered the eight [sic] central provinces, including the metropolitan province of Yamashiro, in seven or eight days."
What do you guys think about Nobunaga? He seems to be quite an interesting man, very unlike many lords from his time (at least on his personal beliefs).

What was it like? Who ruled it? How were the standards of living? Was there freedom? What would it have ended up like had it continued? Do you have anecdotes from relatives?
Any information about it is good. My understanding is that it was a communist dictatorship under the guise of Anarchism.
Also, it can be a Spanish Civil War thread too.
It's one of those warzones where the warlords (the CNT-FAI, in this case) called themselves "anarcho-communists", so commies cling to them as the "true communism that could have been achieved".
Other examples: Paris Commune, Spartacist uprising in Germany, Free Territory in Ukraine, Rojava.
Calling Revolutionary Catalonia "anarchist" because it's warlords called themseles "anarchists" is like calling the territory ruled by Baron von Untern-Sternberg the "Mongol Empire" because the man considered himself the heir to Genghis Khan.
The only time when communism really worked.

Latin language thread.
I'm starting from plain sentences with vocabulary from a single verbal conjugation and a single noun declension, and working my way through all combinations. No sense in trying to juggle every category at once.
Once I understand the conjugations and cases for each verb and noun category, I'll start to focus on learning vocabulary. I'm starting with -are verbs and the most regular masculine and feminine nouns in -us and -a.
One thing, though: Should sentences with unstated subjects have the verb go first?
e.g.
"Servus floras parat" (the slave is arranging flowers)
Should the unstated subject version be:
"Parat floras" (he is arranging flowers)
or:
"Floras parat"? (Flowers, he's arranging! Oy vey!)

What is the greatest form of artistic expression and why is it ballet?
Well, I don't think it's the greatest form of artistic expression but I really love well done ballet. It really highlight's someone's talent to be able to tell a moving story through body movement and dances.
Has anyone gotten to see Stanton Welch's 'Giselle' which premiered just this week? I wish I could go see it. Houston Ballet brought their older Giselle to my town a few years ago so it's unlikely they'll tour it in my area, shame.
>>1275189
Damn, OP, that's a funny ass way of spelling opera
>>1275380
aw I'm reading reviews now and it sounds a bit disappointing. Welch didn't make any drastic revisions to the story (certainly nothing to warrant this being "Welch's" Giselle) and he eliminated almost all of the pantomime. Damn it people! Pantomime is essential to these story ballets! The music was literally written for them!
Connor Walsh is still, according to these reviews, bringing it as Albrecht, at least.

>"it's not worship if I call it veneration"
It would be in English a few hundred years ago, when people of status were called "Your Worship". But over the last three hundred years, the term "worship" came to be used to be used how adore used to be used (latria), and "adore" became watered down to the point that it means regular veneration or less. "Oh come let us adore Him" is one of the few phrases well known in English that still uses the term in the old way.
It was actually the Catholic Church (by that I mean what is today the Orthodox Church, but back when the West was still in communion) that first made a sharp terminological distinction between the respect due to God that due to non-divine figures. Hebrew made no such distinction--the word unusually translated as "worship" in the Old Testament, is the same word used to describe the veneration Moses pays to his father-in-law (Exodus 18:7) --this wasn't ever an issue with the Hebrews, because they knew the different level of respect intuitively, but a strong terminological distinction had to be introduced in cultures where polytheistic religion used to be prevalent, so as to ensure they didn't conflate saints with deities.
tl;dr you can thank the veneration of saints for bringing in the idea of special term of respect that can only be applied to God
>>1287898
Latin venerātus, past participle of venerārī to solicit the goodwill of (a god), worship, revere, verbal derivative of vener-, stem of venus, presumably in its original sense “desire”; see Venus )

Was it stable politically?
Were they legitimately fascist or just a generic dictatorship?
In what ways was falangism different to fascism?
Clue me in, lads. I know it's more political than historical but /pol/ will just shit me up.
>Was it stable economically?
At first Franco tried to attempt fascist autarky. This didn't work out well for a country emerging from a horrible civil war, so he eventually liberalized the economy, which was stable from that point on.
>Was it stable politically?
Yes.
>Were they legitimately fascist or just a generic dictatorship?
It was just a conservative dictatorship.
>In what ways was falangism different to fascism?
Falangism was the Spanish form of fascism, and, since the Spaniards were very Catholic, was more clerical than Italian or German fascism.
>>1283061
Well, Franco was the leader of Spain, so it clearly wasn't fascist
