Army General says "watch this" and calls a dog soldier over and tells him to climb a nearby flag pole and sing the caissons go rolling along. The soldier salutes smartly and promptly complies, and the General is smug while remarking "now THAT'S bravery".
Navy Admiral calls a squid over and says "watch this" to his fellow General Officers..."Seaman, climb that flagpole and when you get to the top sing Anchors Aweigh" says the Admiral. "AND, at the end of this blessed song...jump off!" The Sea Dog salutes smartly and does as asked and the Admiral looks smug while remarking "now THAT'S bravery!".
The Marine Corps General calls a Devil Dog over and repeats the instructions from the other General Officers with the exception that the Marine Corps General goes a step further and requires that the Devil Dog does a beautiful 1/2 twisting full gainer off of the top of the flag pole at the end of singing the Marine Corps Hymn. The Devil Dog looks incredulous at the General and says "Fuck You Sir!".
Now THAT'S bravery says the General, smiling.
I read a book Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland, by Christopher Browning. It deals with why a Police Battalion composed of ordinary middle class, middle aged men, not the SS, committed massacres and round-ups of Jews for deportations to Nazi death camps in German-occupied Poland in 1942. The men of Unit 101 were not ardent Nazis but ordinary middle-aged men of working class background from Hamburg, who had been drafted but found ineligible for regular military duty. After their return to occupied Poland in June 1942, the men were ordered to terrorize the Jewish people in the ghettos during Operation Reinhard and carry out massacres of Polish Jewish population (men, women and children) in the towns of JΓ³zefΓ³w and Εomazy.
The conclusion of the book says that the men of Unit 101 killed out of obedience to authority and peer pressure.
It got me thinking, why did the troops open fired in Jalianwala Bagh on unarmed civilians ? And what was the composition of the troops that actually pulled the trigger ? And why did they were not tried for war crimes, like what happend after WW2 and nazis, since the troops involved in the JΓ³zefΓ³w massacre were tried for war crimes (hence the book by Browning).
When he came by at first I thought he meant another position for my store, We had someone quit the other day. He meant my position because we need better numbers, and he would like me to stay in the company and build me back up to a GM.

Has anybody ever used this item, or is there someone Iβm missing about this thing?
In almost every fantasy i have seen necromancy is practised by outcast or secretive cults and was wondering if there was any that were different
As stated in the title, Johannes Blaskowitz seemed to be one of the few people who openly criticized the murders and cruelties committed in Poland, and as far as I know even sentenced SS personnel to death for their crimes.
However, when he was put on trial at the Nuremberg Trials, he committed suicide by jumping down into the trial court, although he had good chances of being acquitted of the charges.
Do we know or have good assumptions why he did it?
