You need railways and supply depots. They are damaged in battles. Need to fix them and wait until they deliver again. Also upgrade you railway lines from your capital to cities and depots near the frontline.

Yes this question is now OVER...I JUST BEAT IT THE GAME!!!!!!

How?
Try with this save and see that i cant field 240 divisions without being half-depleted.
i loaded your save,...
first not all ur armie are using motorized supply:
second u have massive yellor supply alerts.
i see u have trains, and trucks, just need few railways, theyre not expensive as it seems.
u are germany, u are rich, build level 3, 4, 5.. railways !!!

Our strategy to build railways:
I like use some cities as "main hub" to avoid much entaglement(almost europe), so we avoid spend too much in railways.
Lets use warsaw as "main hub", but theres a problem: the path from Berlim to Warsaw(both marke in purples) is too much entangled... lets build a straight path(red path).
The strategy of use capital cities as "main hubs" to avoid entaglement, make easy for u avoid upgrade every railway, then once u build a "Berlim - Warsaw" path, u build everything on eastern front from warsawy, then minsk/kiev/moscow. this save lots of ic building up "double paths"(green path).
Look the pattern i do. i don't straight up build everything to 5.. first, we upgrade all in batches, so i aim level 3 first..
when i complete level 3, i do level 4, then level 5..
that way u get the result of level 3 railways without be stuck on level 5 qeue production lines.
then organize ur build qeue from lowest to highest... so ur production of railways wont get stuck on most expensive, and u see the result of the cheapest first.

use sea zone block to block channel, so u wont get convoy raided there.

Im now thinking of how i must do the OOB for Barb as now i am with stuck supply hubs and my original order was:
Two field marschals, one in the north with 5 armies with 24 each and one in the south with 2 armies with 24 and one with 12
The Low Supply Penalty is too much harder to me, it seems that the unique form to circumvent this problem is creating various supply hubs in the border but its too much expensive.
So What Next?

In the play i posted print screen, i ignored south front and keep ur original frontline.....
If u plan keep with encirclement, the soviets will withdrawal troops from south front. when i ended encirclement, they barely take 1 tile from romania.
With sucessfull encirclements, their front just collapse.
The "dual front" strategy(north/south field marshall) i recommended early in the topic is for Steam Roller playstyle, wich requires vast economic and equipment superiority.
With blitzkrieg/encirclement playstyle, u can keep a single poland "north" front, don't need bother sending troops to south.
Let romania and hungary as defensive cannon fodder. ... also south front have more marshs/undersupplieds zone, its very slugish, and tends to lose blitz momentum more fast.

This is how i got too far...
But i need help, how to push into ukraine and Moscow? I cant just push and i cant just do 300 more encirclements just to have it a advantage...
How i do now?

1. Use ur center position to reach plains area in ukraine, avoid marsh area, and "supply hell" northern area.. encircle soviets in south
2. Use supply map and pass mouse over moscow to see enemy railroas, try capture supply depots on the way, to avoid be stuck on supply void:
3. Use terrain map, just to avoid marsh traps.
4. This is the "moscow line" is where the supply hell start severely.. if u reach there, consider reduce number of troops in frontline, or a pause on atacks to "refresh" and to build railroads. notice the darker blue/red areas.
5. its november and is winter, if ur atacks are stuck on 90% green for days, , consider a pause and reestart advance in march/april.
6. Leningrad is a great hub that connect various spots useful for future advance in nort, take it if is not over-garrisioned.

@marcelo r. r.
I appreciate your support, but theres problems...
Firstly, i cant push in Ukraine and Moscow even with Tanks (you said that tanks are needed for encirclements but i cant do it)
Secondly, I need more pushes for capitulation of USSR who is a mighty bear if you ask
Thirdly, i need infantry for the pushes, as i need equipment and tanks

You must micromanage encirclements to make them work. Notice that you need to have supply doing that, including fuel. You cannot break thru and encircle with armor without supply, tank speed without fuel is 1.
