By 1944, Operation Bagration was a success and Germany had no chance at capturing the Russian oil fields they desperately needed. The Western Allies also manage to liberate France and would have launched a similar invasion into Germany.

Surrender should have been on the table at that point to spare further suffering, and even Germany's military command were dissatisfied at Hitler's failure's to turn the war around, hence why he was nearly assassinated in the July plot.

The war was probably lost even before that (oil and air superiority defined that war). Hitler should have wiped out the English at Dunkirk but he was too compassionate toward his fellow Europeans. Compassion needs suspended during war. Many of Hitler's generals knew that but Hitler ignored them.

Yes, he was counting on some degree of honor from his counterparts. Oh, how wrong he was. Especially with the Churchill sack-o-shit.

"His fellow Europeans", what a wanker.

Hitler didn't want to hammer the English at that time because he thought that Britain and America would change sides and ally themselves with Germany against the rest of Europe. He had this fantasy of unifying all of the Germanic peoples of Europe into Greater Germany, except for two groups: Britain, which would remain independent, and north Italian Germans, who would remain in Italy as a reward for Mussolini.

To the day he died, he never understood how the Americans and British didn't take his side. Talk about a delusional fool.

Allies weren't going to allow Germany to surrender and keep sovereignty.

Imagine if every country made that claim.

"I don't want to surrender because I might lose!"

"But I'm still going to launch missiles at your cities and torture your POW's".

We would still be stuck in the stone ages.
