Re: stalemate in the east
After Stalingrad
1. Gradually withdraw to Belorussia and Rumania to shorten the front and the supply line.
2. Cancel all tank development and production in favor of SP artillery, AT artillery, and AA artillery. Tanks are only good at offensive roles, AT artillery and SP artillery are good at defensive roles and can be produced much fast and much cheaper.
3. Cancel all navel programs and production. Germany can't afford to waste another drop of oil on pointless naval build up.
4. Produce a large amount of bicycles to enable all troops to have tactical mobility. That way troops can be somewhat mobile without wasting gas.
5. Large scale tank vs. tank engagements must be avoided at all cost. Germany can't afford to trade tanks with the Russians through tank engagements.
6. Form mobile divisions from SP artillery and existing tanks with the purpose of stopping gaps and checking breakthroughs before infantry arrives.
7. Produce a large amount of trucks to enable some troops to have the strategic mobility to work with the mobile divisions.
8. Cancel all air force programs and productions in favor of AA artillery.
9. Cancel all “miracle weapon” programs and productions.
