Hitler, among other national-socialists, believed that the inevitable war would either see the destruction of Germany and the German people or that of their antithesis, the global Jewish(-Capitalist) conspiracy and their allies which near the end of the conflict came towards almost apocalyptic visions of the world coming to an end and surrender being useless and the greatest sin towards the nearing conclusion of these visions. Therefore he also called for the wholesome destruction of Germany as to give their enemies nothing.

This also shows in parts of Hitler's last speech, made on 30 January 1945;

Therefore I now appeal to the entire German people and, above all, to my old fellow- fighters and to all the soldiers to gird themselves with a yet greater, harder spirit of resistance, until we can again-as we did before-put on the graves of the dead of this enormous struggle a wreath inscribed with the words: "And yet you were victorious."

Therefore I expect every German to do his duty to the last and that he be willing to take upon himself every sacrifice he will be asked to make; I expect every able-bodied German to fight with the complete disregard for his personal safety; I expect the sick and the weak or those otherwise unavailable for military duty to work with their last strength; I expect city dwellers to forge the weapons for this struggle and I expect the farmer to supply the bread for the soldiers and workers of this struggle by imposing restrictions upon himself; I expect all women and girls to continue supporting this struggle with utmost fanaticism.
