44:27 The Italians may have had a new shiny rifle, but the Ottomans had one Mustafa Kemal Atatürk active in theatre.

Excellent presentation. Throughout you point out the lack of available finance in Italy at the time so it is a big plus that they produce a rifle cheap enough that every soldier gets one. The alternative is the image given in Enemy at the Gates where one rifle is given to two soldiers, and when the soldier holding the rifle is killed the second picks up the rifle. I don't know if there is any truth in that but it makes a valid point in this context. I also love that you use the British style of marking an upgrade with the star.
