Unlike people in Medieval Europe, the Islamic world had a constant supply of fresh foods to eat throughout the year thanks to the development of crop rotation. This explains the expert management of the Gaza greenhouses by the master Islamic agricultural technicians.

Bwahaha. And who CARES about Muslim inventions? Not I. Germans had some great stuff going on, but during WW2 it was pretty irrelevant to a great majority of citizens, I'll wager.

Actually, I think this thing called 'winter' had more to do with the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables year round in Northern Europe than did the absence of crop rotation.
