It would be possible to save many lives on all sides, to save the remains of industry, to bargain some concessions, which would be gladly made by allies on the anti -Hitler coalition. But Hitler continued the hopeless war, throwing school age boys, sacrificing not the current German people, but his future. Perhaps some stubborn fanatics have believed that the Fuhrer in his genius was about to get Wunderwaffe, which is ready and waiting for her time.
But he knew for sure that there was nothing like that. The rationality in the Fuhrer's actions is not worth looking for. He shot himself only when the troops entered Berlin. * * * Soon the moment when the defeat of Russia will be inevitable. (It has already happened strategically because Russia has no script in peace, the best than the previous one, but in fact, Russian defeat should be fixed on the battlefield and post -war legal decisions).
Will Putin complete the war in this situation? Theoretically must. Although Russia has much more resources than Reich at the end of the war, there is no sense in the war. In the context of media control, Putin can "sell" any idea, so purely semantically Russia can declare its victory "for internal use" at any time, this does not require military success. But Putin will not complete the war because it means his end as a leader.
The weak leader is subject to immediate removal, and the contenders are sufficient, all over the spectrum - from pseudo -liberals to obvious Nazis. So the war will not be able to end. The war will not end on the battlefield. It can only end where it began - in the Kremlin. The end of the war is irreversible changes in Russia itself. And this requires a strategy of such victory, a coalition is needed, allies in Russia itself are needed. The Ukrainian counter -offensive will soon begin.
