WI/PC Siegfried Line built on the Eastern Front?

Gone Fishin'
Apologies if this has been done already.

What if in their 1941 invasion of the USSR, after taking the Baltic states and most of Belarus and half of the Ukraine, German forces dig in and create an Eastern front Seigfried Line?

Would this allow the Luftwaffe to continue operations to blitz Red Army and Airforce units and thus create a barrier against further Soviet offensives?

Would there be enough personnel to create this position and could they build it in time, especially for the winter?

Would it be an effective defence in regards to the original Seigfried Line in the West?
