What supply problems did the Allies face in Europe during World War II?

Road and rail routes had been destroyed by the war, so it was hard to transport supplies to their troops.

Supplies had to travel a long way overland through harsh weather, so they often did not reach the troops that needed them.

Most supplies were manufactured in the United States, so sabotage by antiwar groups there was common.

Supplies had to travel a long distance across water on ships that were often attacked, so they did not reach Europe.
