German Logistics (or lack of) in WW2 Eastern Front | TIK Q&A 11

German logistics of WW2 were terrible. In fact, the war on the Axis-Soviet Front may have been determined by the poor logistics of the Wehrmacht. The lack of oil and rubber plays it part, but the Germans messed up the use off their trains and railroads. The result was that they could only so far into the Soviet Union before they had to stop. Let’s discuss this. Timestamps - 00:15 Todd R Smith - were chainsaws used in Russia? Why were “corduroy roads“ roads surfaced with cut logs, not used? 30:13 Steve Switzer - Despite bad logistics, why was the wehrmacht still formidable until 1943? 37:36 Robert Henry Illston - how detrimental to the Axis/German supply/logistic chain were acts of sabotage?
