The scene is now legendary. Hitler rips off his glasses, screams at his generals, throws a pen, and declares that the war is lost. But here is what the meme leaves out: after the tirade, Ganz shows you the aftermath. Hitler slumps into a chair. His voice cracks. He mutters, "The world has no future for me." He is pathetic.
