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?
