I have a maths degree and now work in software (specifically intelligent document analysis) using javascript. I used to work embedded systems in C and WPF projects in C#. I've written quite a lot in Matlab and R in a Mathematical context and have dabbled with Java and Android development. Consequently I joined for the stack overflow site, but I've found history a lot of fun. I've also recently spent time with out of date GSM Standards.

What was involved in “grounding arms?” Is there something I'm missing? Dropping ones weapons seems to be a fairly universal act of capitulation. It's the first thing the police request of an armed suspect, for instance, and most surrenders result shortly in weapon confiscation anyway. To answer what level the decision is made, the wikipedia page on surrender should help (the answer is pretty much at any level). I would have though the reason soldiers surrender would have been obvious. Does surrender work like a fair catch? Only if you're lucky. |

Why was Johannes Blaskowitz indicted at the Nuremberg High Command Trial Hmmm. It turns out Hugo Sperrle and Otto Schniewind were acquitted. I had suspected that they were always going to indict everyone, but thank you for providing the text of the indictment. |

Why was Johannes Blaskowitz indicted at the Nuremberg High Command Trial German wikipedia goes into a little more detail than the English version. Including that he sentenced SS soldiers to death for their crimes against the polish population. |

Why was Johannes Blaskowitz indicted at the Nuremberg High Command Trial Maybe what I've described as too expansive a definition is actually included in what a war crime is. I'm not a lawyer and I've tried to steer clear of legal related points. Nevertheless, it seems likely he was accused of specific things a layman like myself can understand. |

What were Rommel's views on the Nazi crimes? I've asked a more focused question with a much smaller scope. If it's answered it should prove useful to this one. |

Was Hitler's genocide of the Jews “different” from other mass killings? If this is reopened (the genocide thing ignored for now), by what metrics should we compare mass-murder? |

Was Hitler's genocide of the Jews “different” from other mass killings? @Anixx, Yes, I've just seen that as well. I'm still unhappy to some extent but you can have your -1 back. I don't like the term genocide, and your question demonstrates what a bizarre cross-section of mass murders it produces. +1 for being true in said bizarre cross-section, good point about the Holocaust's length. |

Was Hitler's genocide of the Jews “different” from other mass killings? -1 Stalin Starvation tactics and Mao's Cultural Revolution, Mongol extermination of peasants in china are great examples of mass murder, if not genocide. By exluding these you've severely limited the scope, which would be fine and a valid contribution if your conclusion didn't forget this limitation of scope and make claims about "all history". |
