Rhetoric gone bad: Goebbel's propaganda Red Army produces not resolve among Germans, but guilt

In Richard Evans' "The Third Reich at War," Richard Evans' claims:

The last two years of the war were filled with atrocity propaganda emanating from Goebbels's mass media: the Red Army in particular was portrayed, not entirely inaccurately, as hell-bent on raping and killing Germans as it advanced. Yet the effects of this were not what Goebbels intended. From from leading to a strengthening of resolve amongst ordinary Germans, this propaganda only served to reveal deep-seated feeling of guilt that they had done nothing to prevent the Jews being killed

. In 1944, the SS reproted that Goebbels's propaganda graphically portraying the lootings, killings, and rapes carried out by Red Army Troops in Prussia, (following is quotation from the SS report)

in many cases achieved the opposite of what was intended Compatriots say it is shameless to make so much of them in the German press... 'What does the leadership intend by the publication of such pictures as those in teh National Socialist Courier on Sunday? They should realise that the sight of these victims will remind every thinking person of the atrocities we have committed in enemy territory, even in Germany itself. Have we not murdered thousdands of Jews? Don't soldiers again and again report that Jews in Poland have had to dig their own graves? And how did we treat the Jews in the concentration camp in Alsace?... (The opinion of numerous people from all classes of the population.)
