Failing to take Moscow, which is entirely likely I'd rally on an advanced line as soon as the mud came in and regroup for the new offensive next spring while preparing to reequip in view of the superior tanks met, getting rid of the 37mm and short-50 PzIIIs and short-75 PzIVs, 37mm PaK, etc. Also most important get loads of witer clothing ready in time!
These are only the most obvious steps, there would be a lot more, first of all pulling my hair out for having got into this Barbarossa trap in the first place  |
All those things you said actually happened. The process of fully reequipping would take more than a year; enough winter cloth could never be delivered in a timely manner due to German transport capacity.
I hope you are joking, because I expected more.
