Well that maps says September, do I suppose that is the time you are referring to. During September the only people who really believed there was still a chance were the Kaiser and some members of the German public, that's really it.

Because they are unaware of the absolutely shambolic state of German supplies, logistics, manpower and homefront, they are unaware the German gains came at an extreme cost to their best units that their armies could not afford, they are unaware that the German gains were more often than not territories only lightly defended and given up on purpose by the Allies and containing few if any objectives of value.

Oh sorry I see you said "late 1918", what I described was the state of affairs during the Spring Offensives.

As for late 1918 then I'd say no one really thinks that, do they? Germany was receiving an unprecedented spanking, they have been routed, they have been losing for three months straight, they were on the verge of a revolution, they were starving, their last line of defense was broken, their units were surrendering en masse, and vast parts of the military leadership pleaded for a cessation of hostilities.

I may be putting to much thought in the internet but not such a small amount will bring up how no trops had enterrd German soil and/or that it was the joos that caused the revolution.
>>
>>938579
Well the revolution only came after the absolute collapse on the frontlines. As for the troops not entering Germany, that's pretty simple, they didn't have to. Germany was so done they pleaded for peace before the Allies would have to advance further.

Nobody really thinks that anymore. It was something that the Nazi propaganda machine spread as a sop to German nationalism, that they didn't "really" lose the war, it was just da joos.

4chan being 4chan, and edgy and contrarian to the core, parroting Nazi propaganda seems like a wonderful way to start internet fights. Ergo, a lot of people here keep it up, but don't be fooled, almost nobody, and certainly nobody with a brain actually believes it.

That's just retarded /pol/ posters who are on /his/ without knowing about history
Germany could not continue by that point, the men at the front were starving and the people at home were starving
They couldn't continue

While one cannot deny Germany was losing the war, it's hard to reject the reality of Jewish influence in revolutionary politics/anti-war movement in Germany.

inb4 muh /pol/ boogieman.

And it is similarly hard to reject the widespread surrenders and revolts in the army. Or in the navy. Or non religious workers and socialists. The Jews were not some mystical force which influenced the entirety of the vast and widespread antiwar movement.

Didn't suggest they were, merely they were vastly overrepresented in it.
>>
>>938557
A large number of people in the public thought Geramny could still win due to German propaganda throughout the war. That's why they felt betrayed when their government gave up. They weren't ever told how poorly Germany was doing.
>>
>people who doesn't realise germans surrendered because of their isolation and not the americans
>>
>>938710
Did anyone say that?

>Or non religious workers and socialists.

These groups were basically Gentiles being led by a secular Jewish element.
