Drummer James Roddick of the 92nd Highlanders defending Lieutenant Menzies during hand-to-hand fighting in the Battle of Kandahar on 1st September 1880. The Battle of Kandahar was the turning point of the Second Anglo-Afghan War. General Frederick Roberts led a British relief force that successfully broke the siege of Kandahar and defeated Ayub Khan's Afghan army, securing British control over the city and dealing a major blow to the Afghan forces.

On 27 July 1880, around 2,500 British and Indian troops under Brigadier-General George Burrows were overwhelmed by an Afghan force which was 10 times its size at Maiwand. Following the Battle of Maiwand, the remaining British troops retreated and were besieged in Kandahar. The defeat at Maiwand caused an outcry in Victorian Britain.

General Roberts, a seasoned British commander, was appointed to lead the relief force. Roberts began his famous 300 miles (483 km) march from Kabul toward Kandahar with a force of approximately 10,000 men. On September 1, 1880, Roberts' forces encountered Ayub Khan's Afghan army near Kandahar. The Afghan army consisted of an estimated 13,000 men, including tribal warriors and regular soldiers.

Despite being outnumbered, the disciplined British troops, supported by their superior firepower, inflicted heavy casualties on the Afghan forces. The battle was fierce and lasted for several hours. Roberts' forces displayed their military prowess by executing well-coordinated maneuvers and maintaining discipline under intense Afghan fire. Eventually, the Afghan lines collapsed, and Ayub Khan's army retreated in disarray.

The routed Afghans suffered around 3,000 casualties, while British losses were 100 killed 218 wounded. The British victory at the Battle of Kandahar was the last major battle of the Second Anglo-Afghan War. It dealt a severe blow to Ayub Khan's aspirations of becoming the Amir of Afghanistan. A new Amir, Abdur Rahman Khan, was selected by the British, who ratified and confirmed the Treaty of Gandamak. Having achieved their objectives, the British withdrew from Afghanistan in 1881

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps. The accounts that rap£ or prostitution was common, Were the guards were given "free reign" over the prisoners given view of them as subhuman The Nazis sort of developed a network of state-controlled brothels during the war. This included both the civilian and military brothels. The Nazis even set up brothels for the forced labor inmates that helped with the German war effort as incentives for higher production from prisoners in camps. Back then these brothels were suppose to serving several needs. For the soldiers that were far away from home, the Nazis thought that having these brothels would reduce the possibility of rape in occupied lands and reducing the sexual relations with impure local women or forced laborer's, as well. Heck, the Nazis tried to use these brothel women to cure homosexuality as a treatment with male prisoners that were gay. Regular German women were exempt from serving in these b...

The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other

 The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other Steady on. Nearly all concentration camps were single-sex, and at those that held both men and women the sexes were usually kept separate, though at Auschwitz III (Monowitz) and possibly also some other sub-camps they worked together. At extermination camps (where the sexes were not separated) most of the prisoners were killed within 24 hours of arrival. Prisoners did not have privacy. Remember that at the time most people had a horror of same-sex relations, especially between men. However, some Kapos and even guards forced prisoners to have sex with them. In Night Elie Wiesel relates how he found his Kapo having sex with a female prisoner, and he (Wiesel) was given 25 lashes for finding them having sex.* In the Women’s Camp at least one guard forced another woman to have sex with her, and at many camps there was a piepel (camp bum boy). *He also describes the hanging of the piepel of a Blockältester ( ‘block senior’). ...
