hey, i started a 1936 scenario as germany and everything was fine until i attacked USSR in 1942 where i'm stuck. it's now 1946 and i've only advanced a few provinces. my strength is ~ 270 divisions (of which 60 are tanks), and the spies say their strength is ~250 divisions but the thing is i can't see their strength in each province, it just shows a question mark where the number of divisions should be (can i do something about that?). so i've just been encircling with tanks but they just keep rebuilding and successfully counter attacking and taking back anything i capture. any advice on what i should do?

Hmm, you might be in trouble. USSR is one big infantry factory by 1946.

Did you research the nuclear path? :D

Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and say you're pretty much toast. Stalemate with the SU is a bad, bad place to be. With their reorg speed, a failed advance by you can be turned into a breakout by them pretty quick. That and a few million screaming cossacks on your borders...well...

Go ahead and max out your encrypt/decrypt techs and you might be able to find a weak point in the line...but chances are that the Soviets are going to take the initiative soon...and they've got the manpower to back it up.
