The last strategic offensive the Nazis mounted in the Soviet Union was in 1943, which failed. The failure at Stalingrad occurred only months earlier. The Eastern Front at the time was already using 80-90% of Nazi material and manpower. I and most others doubt that utilizing the small remainder would have cinched it for them. >In the exact same documentary series as I first mentioned (World At War,) a Nazi military official argues that the Allied bombings were successful because they forced the Nazis to split their forces along two separate fronts. They were unable to divert their ammunition, air support, etc to Russia because of the bombings. It seems like this general forgot that the remaining Nazi forces were not solely defending against strategic bombings, but waging an active war in North Africa, and then Italy.
