Endsieg

Endsieg is a German word that means "final victory". In history, it refers to the Germans' hope for winning the Second World War, especially in the later years of the conflict.

During the war, Germany was fighting against many other countries, including the United States, the Soviet Union, and England. As the war progressed, the German army began losing battles and territory. They were losing resources, and their soldiers were getting tired and sick.

But some German leaders still hoped for a final victory. They wanted to keep fighting until they won. This hope for "endsieg" led to the Germans continuing the war, even when it seemed impossible to win. In the end, the Germans did not achieve a final victory, and the war ended with their defeat.
