Two theories which can operate in tandem or separately: Hitler wanted to keep his army in the Courland in the vain hope that it would act as a threat to the Russian right flank when he was able to counter-attack. The second theory is that he wanted to keep control of Baltic coastline so that his UBoats, especially the new type XXI could train. They would be part of his new UBoat assault that he hoped would turn the war around. As we see in both cases Hitler was suffering from some delusions.
