- I meant, even with Soviet resistance the Germans have it too easy. In the
- early winter short supply lines are effective at stopping the German advance.
- In the second half of the winter, supply lines have caught up to the front in

- through Russian lines in the central plains after the end of the first winter
- because they were able to push too hard in the winter.
