The topic is based around my PhD thesis of the same title. Post your questions and comments below, and I will get back to you!

Thanks, very interesting. In case reading memoires one usually could find indications that plundering happened due to the need to obtain calories, because the regular rations of food did not fit when the army was on the march and fighting, as you mention in your podcast.
Surely the army as that must have realized this - or did they turn a blind eye on that as well??
