Hitler told senior Nazis that “everyone has lied to me” just eight days before he killed himself in his bunker.

Hitler ranted that the German people had not fought with enough heroism.

During a conference on April 22nd, 1945, Hitler gave a speech to his assembled generals and Heinrich Himmler, his minister of the interior. “It is not I who have lost the war, but the German people,” he had said.
