Well, as for the reason Hitler kept fighting, even after it was obvious that he could not win, is that he honestly thought he could win. Even in his final hours, he had been receiving flase information from his subodinates which was meant to comfort/calm him & instead made him try to hold on to the cause stronger, ordering suicide standoffs for even his perfect race. Right before his suicide he was informed of the truth of his armies, the fact that some had disobeyed his orders and others were decimated. He was only toying with the idea of suicide before that; it was his means of preventing his defeat. He must have completely thought that his arian army could take the world & hold onto power despite preliminary defeats.
I might go on w/ this, but it is late & my bed beckons me...
