German Morale Slipping But No Collapse Is Near
German civilian morale is slipping but this does not signal an imminent collapse of Nazism or revolution. The police state remains strong, with Gestapo presence and widespread informers, while day to day efficiency declines. Sinking morale affects soldiers at the front, despite initial high spirits after earlier Balkan victories. Factors undermining morale include Hess’s flight, Russia invasion, party favoritism, church persecution, food decline, false peace promises, US entry, Brauchitsch dismissal, and SS army tensions.
