Hitler’s vision was not built on order. It was built on destruction. His speeches made it clear. He did not seek peace through strength. He wanted purification through violence. His obsession with race was not a side note. It was the center of everything. He was not building a future. He was erasing a past. At the end of the war, when defeat was certain, he ordered Germany’s destruction. He told Albert Speer to destroy infrastructure. He said the German people had failed and no longer deserved to exist. He refused to retreat. He refused to spare civilians. That is not strategy. That is collapse by design. The Eastern Front was never about land alone. It was about annihilation. From the beginning, the war in the East targeted entire populations. This was not conquest. It was extermination. Hitler was not a general. He was a zealot. His mind was not wired for survival. It was wired for punishment. In the end, he punished everyone, his enemies, his followers, and himself.
