Yeah.....thank you.I am conjecturing, Trains where the rail lines extended, Trucks, and many many horse drawn wagons. The Wehrmacht relied on horse drawn transportation until the end of the War.
Some?? Hell the would bomb rocket shoot or shit the crap out of it when the had the change. Production fields where for a time out of reach.Yeah.....thank you.
I am 100% ignorant about the ability of The Wehrmacht to move stuff by train once they crossed the border deeper into Russia.
I understand the guage was different and that the Russian Army must have attempted to sabotage SOME of it at least.?
And yet the trains of jews homos gypsys and every other human they did not want alive kept on comming.From memory, railroad transport of all sorts of Wehrmacht supplies through the swampy eastern part of the USSR was often interdicted by partisan operations, such that the Germans had to deploy several divisions of second-rate security troops to help safeguard the railways. And the further on the supplies had to go, via rail or truck, the more fuel had to be used to move those supplies.
Those two factors meant that shoestring ops were a commonstance for the Germans on the Eastern Front.

Oh and tanks ....and . So no. They were deprived of the oil fields not transportation. Late 44 road transport got iffy.
Wasn't part of the reason for the German failure in North Africa was the difficulty of getting supplies, including fuel, the closer the Germans got to Egypt.
The timing and movement of prisoners to the concentration and extermination camps did significantly impact Germany's ability to supply the eastern front. Allied intelligence noted this on many occasions and it has been speculated that Allied reluctance to interfere with "transports" was partly due to the negative impact they had on the Nazi war effort.
Interestingly, the Soviet air forces devoted relatively little effort to interdiction missions (attacking supply lines). Soviet official figures are shockingly low compared to U.S., Commonwealth, and German figures. Partisan activity seems to have substituted for interdiction.Some??

Going from memory, here.
Rail transportation is significantly more energy efficient than truck in terms of volume/distance/fuel used and the limitations of Nazi resources mandated that material supplies be moved as close as possible to the front by train rather than truck (or horses).
Agree. For me, it remains one of the Eastern Front mysteries.Interestingly, the Soviet air forces devoted relatively little effort to interdiction missions (attacking supply lines).

Oh, it's not a mystery, it's just fact. You can find both German and Soviet reports on how much damage partisans did the German rail operations. I used the term "shocking" only to describe the reaction of those of us who are used to the proportions flown by other air forces.Agree. For me, it remains one of the Eastern Front mysteries.
