The Starfighter had a poor safety record, especially in Luftwaffe service. The Germans lost 292 of 916 aircraft and 116 pilots from 1961 to 1989,

Most of them didn't crash even once! 🇧🇪👍🇧🇪

Ich hab das so in Erinnerung, dass es auch darum ging, dass es eben kein normales (Militär-)Gericht sein konnte unter den Umständen

Sehr schönes Format und auch die Umsetzung find ich gut. Ich hatte vor ein paar Jahren einzelne Folgen nochmal geschaut, kann gut folgen.

Zu dem Begriff Tribunal: es ist wohl nicht so negativ besetzt auf Englisch, wie es für euch klang. Die seltsame Konstellation ist aber so oder so da

Not that it should be necessary to mention but washing feet is one of the old Christian traditions, as well

It could be neutralization, loss of a distinction (if it used to be there) or syncretism (if other combinations of categories still show it, e.g. lack of gender in plural)

Found it (unless there's more than one).

E.g. the absentive ('gone fishing') aspect is probably not attested as a morph. category (in the narrow sense with only bound morphs rather than extended constructions)
