Can animals get shellshock too? Like there were alot of dogs and horses especially in ww1 at the frontlines. After the war or also during it, did animals get "trauma" too? If yes, how did it look like in animals?

How did Switzerland get supplies while being surrounded by the Axis powers? Or if they did get permission to trade with countries outside Europe how did they get the permission for it? Wouldnt the Germans be quite strict with communication with eg. the Allies?

Is the story of Tarrare really real? It just seems to be way too surreal that he ate a meal intended for 15 people in a single sitting, ate live cats, snakes, lizards and puppies, and swallowed eels whole without chewing. Also there was something about him eating a 14 month old baby andEatingCorpses
