Context: This is a dark history meme about Hitler in the last days of WWII. In April 1945 the Soviets were closing in on Berlin, Germany was clearly beaten, and Hitler chose suicide in his bunker rather than face capture. The joke is basically “the Reich is done, time to go.”
Germany has fallen, I must die.

The DDR government? The communist government made up mostly of people who fled the Nazi persecution anyone Social Democrat or to the left of them?
Try the other side - particularly Organisation Gehlen, Bundeswehr leadership (e.g. Heusinger), the Judicary - to find the Nazis carrying on as if nothing had happened.

Sorry, you’re quite right. I wrote DDR but meant GDR.
