I would agree with Friedrich, the fact is that the Waffen SS was a mere shadow of its former self. There may have been many "SS Armies" but they consisted of only 2 partially strength Waffen SS divisions and regular Heeres Infantry divisions. The Waffen SS no longer had the enthusiastic volunteers but now had conscripts who were not the diehards of the old guard.

Even if they were fully staffed and munitions as well as arms were at full levels, the logigistics in feeding and maintaining this "huge" force just did not exist. The German back was broken in 43 and victory was lost. The only option was to end the war and hope for the best.
