it´s half a myth.The German advance in the Ukraine and Byelorussia in the summer 1941 was so fast that they actually got their hands on thousands of rail cars and locos which they were able to use for their own needs later on.The Scorched Earth policy declared in September 1941 came too late for half the territory that would end up in German control.The wide gauge were a problem but not a major one thanks to the transportation nmterial seized intact by the Wehrmacht.
