In this madness, there was a continual belief that the Germans will still win the war, despite the clear fact that the Soviet Army was already well on its way to taking Berlin.
There was not really another possible outcome, because of the social conditions and the practices of the upcoming Nazi regime within Germany at the time. The mob mentality has swept over Germany, because there were no easy solutions to the problems facing the German people. Economic hardships after World War I had caused the decline of the average German's livelihood.
What resulted was an over abundance of people accepting Hitler's fanatical claims because there was a lack of another viable solution. Hitler had been loosing his touch on reality throughout his rise to power. Yet, his influence seemed to blind those around him because of his seemingly impossible promises during such hard times.
