Schmidt is an unknown quantity at this point
Its coming up October 1944, and the war is reaching its end. But Heinz Guderian made a suggestion to Hitler, and I'm sure it could of pulled off.

Soldiers are trapped in the Kurland, get them transported back to Germany, escorted hevaily by the Kriegsmarine they should have no problem.

The SS panzer troops intend for Operation Watch on the Rhine are called back. Both armies are combined, you have a strong, well equipped, (though not on fuel, so bare that in mind) army. Many of which are SS and armed to the teeth with ammo. Morale high. This massive force, combined with some Volksturm units is formed sercetly infront of Berlin.

Around Febuary 1945 the Russians halted there advance due to severe supply problems once again. Tank casualties are high and need replacing, and this will take awhile. Russian infantry are high in morale, but are generally exhusted, lacking ammo and not expected a counter attack.

Formed in Corps, they can launch muitply encirclements, cause complete surprise, capture prisoners and what supplies they have, take them back into Germany to be massarced or put into slaverly.

Assuming that happens, what then?
