His denial of reality deepens as he realizes we can't be dislodged now in Normandy and as Russian troops get ever closer to the German border.
Well by now he knows this war is personal. He’s going to be tried as a war criminal, and believes if the Russians catch him he’s going to be displayed like an animal in a public cage on Red Square. I have visions of him saying “Laß deine schmutzigen Hände von mir, du verdammte reichende Affe!!!”
I don’t think he’s got too many options, personally. A real leader would spare his people. A narcissist; never.
Let that be a lesson for us today.
