A while back there was a big debate on whether the Axis was overly constrained by supplies, especially fuel, in this game during Barbarossa. I ran across this video that makes a compelling case that the Axis was indeed severely constrained by inadequate logistics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBAoW0PWNUw

TIK is prolific. I don't always see eye to eye with him, but he's always thought provoking and sometimes persuasive. His observation that the Nijmegen bridge should have been captured as the top priority by 82nd airborne is so obvious that I don't know why I hadn't ever given it a thought.
He has released two videos just this week dealing with German and Soviet logistics.

I think the German logistics problems are quite well known and very high on the list of reasons why Barbarossa failed.
