>and when they couldn't live up to his realistic standard he threw them under the bus and said they deserved to lose and then blew his brains out
This is just Speer nonsense to save himself from the noose because he was a coward with no balls. Hitler's will suggests otherwise:
> I should like, by remaining in this town, to share my fate with those, the millions of others, who have also taken upon themselves to do so.
>I die with a happy heart, aware of the immeasurable deeds and achievements of our soldiers at the front, our women at home, the achievements of our farmers and workers and the work, unique in history, of our youth who bear my name.
>That from the bottom of my heart I express my thanks to you all, is just as self-evident as my wish that you should, because of that, on no account give up the struggle but rather continue it against the enemies of the Fatherland, no matter where, true to the creed of a great Clausewitz. From the sacrifice of our soldiers and from my own unity with them unto death, will in any case spring up in the history of Germany, the seed of a radiant renaissance of the National-Socialist movement and thus of the realization of a true community of nations.
The notion that he blamed the German people for the defeat is pure slander and the lie being used to discourage Germans from looking at their history and Fuhrer.
