I watched a YouTube vid (who has time to read anyway?) about some AT officers memoirs about the Courland pocket where isolated remnants of army group North held out until Berlin fell and he ends it with the Russian officer asking him why they didn't just surrender like so many others had. The German struggling to put it into words just told him "Because we were soldiers.".
I guess they were fighting the universe - not the Russians.
