The whole thing would have been better aimed at the Soviets but Hitler was convinced that the US was weak-willed and would throw in the towel if pressed.

I agree. Hiitler's high command knew what the Russians had built up behind their central front through the summer and fall and it was staggering.

I suppose he is grasping at delusions. Loss of the war does not mean just loss of power for Hitler and his key henchmen, it means death.
