The Germans had a saying at the time: "enjoy the war because the peace will be hell".

They were correct.

> Germany did not believed it lost, it believed it was betrayed

The citizens were not that stupid. They knew by 1944 that they were going to lose. All they had to do was look up, and see the ever-growing endless streams of B-17s overhead. They knew what the Red Army was going to do to them. They knew payback was coming from the Allies.
