We cant talk about "what could have them done" because then, it will be aswell "what allies would respond to that", on an infinite cicle were at the end germany always loses when siberia reach the front, since looks like stalin had plans to attack germany even if they didnt attack first

Whether the article is true or not it simply would not have mattered.

The German logistics were extremely hampered and would have been regardless. Any ton of winter clothing is a ton of fuel or ammunition or spare parts or replacement equipment, or food that is not going to get to the troops.

The Allies faced the same zero-sum decisions in 1944 and they had an even more robust supply chain and logistical plan than the Germans in 1941. They did manage to get winter clothing to most of the frontline troops. While it is kind of famous that the 101st Airborne went into Bastogne without proper winter gear they also didn't have anywhere close to a full load of weapons and food either. They were doing R&R and the limited supplies were going to frontline troops.
