if WW II had continued a couple more years, all things then being equal, the Germans would have figured out how to fight in the harsh wintersYeah, like supply their troops with something more substantial than summer uniforms and maintain a supply train. Barbarossa was seriously screwed up. The Germans should have succeeded.
Winter is Russia's ace in the hole now because they basically control Europe's natural gas supplies. Western Europe has no taste for spending winter in the cold and dark.

That (winter supplies), and learn how to move troops en masse and relocate their equipment, which the Russians are adept at doing but which the Germans never figured out.
