Agreed, I said mid WW2 because the later half of the war was in Europe where more modern transport supported the supply lines (aircraft and railroad).

But the earlier half was largely a mix of WW1 esque supply logistics using horses and german automobiles struggling over poor Russian roads. The poor logistical planning I alluded to was largely underestimating how poor Russia's infrastructure was and overestimating the capabilities of Germans to overcome them.
