Uncertain. It is difficult to make a conclusive determination about the confidence of all Germans during the war without further information. While many Germans may have had confidence in their country's ability to win the war, due to Nazi propaganda and the initial success of German military campaigns, it is likely that there were also Germans who had doubts or held different opinions. Public sentiment can vary among different individuals and groups within a society. Further analysis of primary sources and different perspectives would be required to provide a comprehensive answer.
