Consider this, do you think that Germany lost more men due to the insufficient supply of armaments especially fuel? Lets take a look at the Battle of the Bulge, had Hitler uninterrupted supply lines, then he would have had the fuel not only for his tanks but also the planes. Granted, Germany was digging at the bottom on manpower but the Wehrmacht may have been better off if enough fuel and supplies were delivered. No loss of tank crews due to running out of gas and getting hit while walking back to the lines.
