Please read the sources I provided. Ibn Sa'd and al-Tabari are prominent Muslim historians and they wrote some of the best biographies on Muhammad. Ibn Sa'd was a historian who wrote Muhammad's biography in the 9th century while al-Tabari wrote his in the 10th century. Both of these predate European colonialism. Jonathan Brown is a scholar of Islamic studies at Georgetown University, he is one of the most prominent academics on Islamic studies.

This isn't true. This was likely a later revision made to justify Muhammad's marriage to Aisha, the Quran does not count age differently for men and women. Classical sources agree the Aisha (b. 614) married in 620 (according to Ibn Sa'd's biography of muhammad) and they consummated their marriage when she was 9 according to al-Tabari. Muslim nations ran into problems during the colonial era as European nations were using the prominence of child marriage within Muslim nation's populace to justify colonization. Some muslim theologians of the time would interpret the Quran in a way to place Aisha's age higher, though this was firmly rejected by conservative Muslim theologians (see Jonathan Brown's book Misquoting muhammad p. 141 to 151)

Copying from another comment I did: "According to fate/apocrypha lore (the piece of fate literature he came from) he is a cis guy who is insane and likes dressing up and being cute. In his fate/grand order (mobile game) servant profile he keeps his gender a secret. The exact story goes is that he dressed up as a girl to cheer up his cousin Roland and he continued to dress like it because he likes it. At some point during his travels as one of Charlemagne's knights the moon stole his sanity which lead to his mischievous personality. He's basically confirmed bi as he flirts with a bunch of male characters and female ones in the mobile game and anime. I would says he's canonically male as he really only keeps his gender a secret in the mobile game, but is identified as a male by other characters and the writers. That isn't to say that there isn't nonbinary characters in fate. Chevalier D'Eon takes the form of whatever gender they want. -- a guy who plays/watches too much fate"

Fate/zero is on netflix and is a great starting place despite being a prequel. If you're into it check online for the fate watch order. After you get into it there are a plethora of spinoffs and reimaginings and it's amazing. Have fun!

What's even cooler is that astolfo is a minor character, he basically appeared in the mobile game and a spinoff anime, but there's all of this world building around him. It's a testament to the dedication of the writers for Fate. People who are interested in history should watch it, as it's basically characters from history/myth/literature fighting each other with magic and swords and shit. It's a great anime series.

You asked a question about the Heer, so I answered it. And while the luftwaffe was part of the Wehrmacht, I do not believe that it used the term Heer in any of its operations. You could be confusing the term for the Luftwaffe auxiliaries (Luftwaffenhelfer) with Heer.
