There was that Goebbels thing, but the Nazis are not the ones who suffered with Selbsthass, or if they did, they turned it against others. The people who hated themselves were the anti-Nazis who did nothing and said nothing and thereby became complicit in the crimes of the Nazis.

Suicide rates (which were generally low among Germans), did spike after the War, but mostly among women who had been repeatedly gang raped by the Red Army, many of whom were pregnant and could not accept the idea of an abortion. That is what Germans really mean when they say that they did not understand what Hitler was doing.
