When Hitler realised the war was totally lost in 1945, surely he knew that the Soviets would be more ruthless towards Germany and the German people than the Western Allies?
Wouldn't it have been a better option for Germany to put up a weakened resistance to slow them and push all their forces east to keep out the Soviets for as long as possible to prevent them taking German land? Just because the Soviets would be significantly more brutal in their conquest. Maybe the rape of Berlin wouldn't have happened and Germany would be unified after the war.
One of the reasons Hirohito surrendered to America is because the USSR recently conquered Japanese Manchuria with over a million men. He and his generals thought a peace under American occupation would be less brutal than under the Soviets. Maybe they only believed this would be the case because of what happened to Germany.

Hitler blamed the German people, army, and generals for his failures.
He wanted them to suffer.

Because Hitler refused to believe that defeat was possible until the very end, and he thought that the Western Allies would be much easier to push out of Europe than the Soviets.

Because he was crazy.

Hitler wanted to show the world what would happen if the jews won in a way not only is he a tactical genius but also a messianic figure

Hitler was a sperg and threw his toys out of the cot, either it was "we can still win" or "we can't win and the German people are responsible and deserve everything they get".

Hitler was always out of touch with reality, even before he became a politician. I bet he thought that total destruction of Germany and the victory of "forces of evil" would be in a sense poetic. Like Ragnarok/Götterdämmerung.
