So, most of the German transport had to be by road or air.

Germans have 1435mm, Russians 1524mm. Soon after german troops occopied russian territory special "Umspur-Trupps" (re-gauge troops) began to bring russian gauge to 1435mm gauge (or in other cases put wider axle distances to the bogies). And also captured russian rail vehicles (locos and cars) have been used by germans. No need to bring transportation to road or air because of gauge differences.
