19:43 "less than one year" This would also suggest a shortage of auditors and mentors. "learn on the job" means very little if there is nobody that can provide feedback or best practices. The fact that these low seniority offices were "better educated for a modern war" is noted but was wasted. Given the shortage of radios at the start of Barbarrosa, it doesn't matter if these young officers knew what a radio could do, they still didn't get any radios . And if they knew what combined arms warfare was...well, they had no radios to coordinate, no trucks to move infantry, and not enough anti-tank weapons or anti-personnel mortars to combine them.
