Hitler didn't care, he even said it at the end in the bunker. 'The German people have proved weak and deserved to be wiped out', that was his Darwinian world view that only the strong race survived, that is why he initiated the "Nero Decree". As far as he was concerned, there was no future for Germany after he was gone, because they have proved weak and deserved to perish as nature intended. Why not fight the war to the end and gamble on things like the Ardennes, it didn't matter to him if he lost in May 1945 or August 1945, he was dead either way and he may as well go down fighting as long as the German people were willing to die for him and his regime.
