At the front, it often happens that a fraction of a second is not enough to pull the trigger and get out of the line of fire. Newly discovered circumstances often interfere. The commanders lack experience and the ability to quickly assess the situation; they lack the determination to complete the assigned task. The authorities who came from nowhere are very disturbing. The army commanders lack a week or two to carry out their plans, and the commanders-in-chief lack the desire to overcome political expediency.” Everything changes when a purposeful and experienced person appears on the front line. This could have happened in the Crimea and near Barvenkov, in Europe and on the Karelian front. There was not enough determination and skill, luck and risk. It was just a little bit short.
