Quite the opposite, or so the Germans would have us believe:
And you'll never guess who he blamed for starting the war.

To be fair, they got further than they should by pure luck. And now Germany is an industrial (anti-fascist) country in a bit of irony.
Idfk what he had against jews, you can't do what he did without being a little delulu, he was probably convinced his life situation was due to a jew ripping him off or something. So, a lot of what he is saying about jews is bullshit, and he knows it. He just wants a final fuck you.
He probably is proud as fuck. Remember: the rest of the "civilized" world was essentially keeping Germany permanently poor, living under such misery breeds a certain...psychotic world view.
I bet the less hostile tone he had to Britain and America would not have lasted if they conquered them, they would have slowly exterminated them in a cycle of purity that would last until humankind is extinct.
Jup. There's a very strong argument to be made that had the terms of the treaty of Versailles not been so unfair and hostile towards Germany, World War II would have never happened.
Rehabilitation and reconstruction is ALWAYS the best option for the winning side of a large war to extend to the losing side, regardless of who/how/why the war started. Heavily penalising and fucking over the loser for years and years after the war is just going to foster resentment and discontent amongst the population, and make them feel (arguably, with a degree of validity) that conquering th countries fucking them over is the only way their country will see prosperity again.
He had against Jews the same thing Trump has against immigrants.
