These to me to be problems to a large extent the Germans made for themselves.
The Germans were exploiting their breakthroughs right up to the end. The Soviets defeated the German offensives and moved over to the offensive themselves. They also on the strategic front out generaled the Germans.

I didnt know about the manpower shortage,thanks for the info.
About the germans creating their own problems i agree.
I disagree about the germans exploiting their breakthroughs,when the germans broke through the russians would fall back to the next prepared defensive line so the germans would end up having to do it all again,and again.
gardiner:#2.i guess they could have done with a guy like eisenhower.
