WI there had been a National Redoubt?

Say Himmler is able to get Hitler on board with this idea. By March 1945, the forces in the Redoubt include:

6th SS Army (Joseph Dietrch)

I SS Panzer Corps (3 SS Panzer & 3 SS Panzer Grenadier Divisions)
II SS Panzer Corps (1 Heer Panzer Grenadier & 2 SS Panzer Divisions)
IV SS Corps (1 SS Mountain & 3 SS Infantry Divisions)
XIII SS Corps (1 Heer Infantry & 2 SS Infantry Divisions)
XVII Mountain Corps (1 Heer Infantry & 2 Heer Mountain Divisions)

XV SS Cossack Cavalry Corps (1 SS Cavalry & 2 SS Cossack Cavalry Divisions) - outside of the Redoubt engaged in partisan operations

They have enough supplies for 18 months.

So what would the Allies have done? Used nukes? Starved them out?
 
How well supplied are these? They can either be fully supplied, full size forces (in which case the Allies will win more quickly) or they can be the poorly supplied, ridiculously understrength units that characterised the Whermach in the last stages of World War II.
 
As they withdrew into the Redoubt, they requisitioned men and supplies from other units. The SS units can be considered at 80-100% fully manned and supplied, the Army units can be considered 75% manned and supplied.

Not with any degree of realism they couldn’t, not by March of ’45; they’d be far below that in strength and Patton’s Third Army would just bulldoze through them.
 
The Axis have been pulling men, equipment and material off the front lines for how long while diverting resources to the so-call redoubt? This final stand collapses by early February, about a month after the war has ended in the rest of Europe.
