Het Nationaal Archief in Den Haag lijkt me een goede plek om te beginnen. Op de site onder "onderzoek", "hulp bij uw onderzoek" kun je al gericht zoeken onder "Tweede Wereldoorlog", "Militairen en Marinepersoneel" etc.

Je kunt ook in levenden lijve archiefstukken inzien zie site onder: "onderzoeken", "plan uw bezoek".

(nationaalarchief.nl/onderzoeken)

Anders heeft de lokale bibliotheek of gemeente van bijv. Rotterdam misschien ook wat archieven over destijds die je op aanvraag in kunt zien.

Hopelijk heb je hier wat aan. Succes met de zoektocht, makker!

Since they practiced oral curriculum a lot, and certain acts might have been framed by culture to bear a symbolic meaning, for example, as a consumption of semen of knowledge, we have reasons to suspect the answer to your question to be positive.

Reposting: books on Renaissance and Victorian Architecture in Europe, and books in European fashion history, particularly in France, also Renaissance to present day, with illustrations for reference in both. Thanks in advance, I know it's a bit of a tall order (:

I will, thanks for telling me

Are there any examples of ancient or historical descriptions of weather phenomenon that we don't know what is being described? Did they experience weather we don't have now?

Who was Countess Maria Pia Soderini of corso umberto in Rome Italy and what ever happened to her after WW2? My great uncle stayed with her for a short time during the war before he was shot down. I can’t find much about her when I search.

My great uncle fought with the Dutch army against the Wehrmacht in 1940 and after the capitulation was in the armed resistance. After WW2 he emigrated to Australia and my grandfather, his brother died before I was born. Little is known in the family apart from him being wounded at Maasbruggen, Rotterdam. And that his code name in the resistance was ‘Theo’.

I have been searching his name on the the internet and found some documents that aren’t declassified until 2025. As stated I live in the Netherlands and would love to find out more about his military records and such.

Where can I go ask for which information?

The dictionary would like to disagree with this use of the word bludgeon.

>We only stopped using that date as year zero around the 6th century btw.

*Year 1. All calendar eras (with the exception of some modern ones) start with year 1.

A very thin bludgeon made out of metal.

The advent of repeating rifles probably helped with that.

Was clodius despicable?

Context: Since his second triumph pompey captured 1000 fortress and 900 cities. He also founded 39 cities and captured 800 ships from the cilician pirates. Also he taxed 50 million in money from the conquered territory and looted 85 million and 20 thousand talents more and gave it to the roman state and its people, while to his soldiers he gave at least 15000 drachmae to each

When lucullus had returned from asia after being ill treated by pompey, he was received by the senate with the utmost honor and when later on pompey also had returned from asia, the senate started begging lucullus to defend the interest of the state from pompeys supposed machinations. Although lucullus had accustomed himself with a life of leisure and he had catos help, he nevertheless vigorously retracted pompeys banishment of his laws. Pompey, now humiliated, sought protection with tribunal power, therefore giving himself to young and inexperienced men, the most despicable being clodius

Clodius used to walk around the forum with pompey by his side making sure that all the interest of the common folk were being attended. Clodius also made pompey to exile cicero, the one who had helped Pompey a lot before. Cicero even tried to plea for his life but pompey shut his house door and fled from the back. So fearing for his life, cicero immediately left the city

Now, caesar being returned from his governorship he passed a law that brought him much popularity, then he got the consulship and started passing laws that would distribute land and found new cities so he could increase even further his popularity

Read or listen to the Bernard Coldwell Rifleman series. It’s in Europe before and during Napoleonic times.

One thing that comes clear is that if you have 100 musketeers (men with muskets) in line, they could shoot maybe 300 shots per minute. But if there are cavalry wielding blades harassing them from behind, they have to form a square where only 25 are facing the enemy’s line and can only send 75 shots down range. Muskets are fairly inaccurate at a specific target, but when pointing at a mass, they can usually hit something. But they aren’t so great for shooting a speedy horseman over yonder.

It’s a fun series.

Every nation had his own calendar. Usually people counted years by kings (in the nth year of king X’s reign), this is called a regnal year. But ancient historians sometimes used a (often mythical) date of origin of their city.

Example : Romans usually used the consul of the year in everyday life (“in the year when Cicero was consul”) but for history work they counted “AUC”/ad urbe condita, meaning from the foundation of the city, the mythical date of the foundation of Rome of 753BC. We only stopped using that date as year zero one around the 6th century btw.

Other examples: the ancient Greeks counted from 776 thought to be the first Olympic Game (a very important cultural Panhellenic event).

The regnal count was still the most common. Still used today: in Japan date (for ceremonial purposes) is sometimes recorded as year X of an era (“era” being here the rule of an emperor, 2022 is the fourth year of the Reiwa era for example).
