As Allied forces renewed their advances during World War II, Germans faced a mix of fear and desperation. The Nazi Propaganda machine attempted to bolster morale and maintain support for the war effort, but many civilians were increasingly aware of the dire situation. In the face of relentless bombing and ground assaults, some Germans began to question the regime's ability to secure victory, leading to growing disillusionment and, in some cases, passive resistance. Ultimately, the reaction was a complex blend of fear, denial, and a yearning for peace as defeat loomed closer.
The Germans recognized the increased strength and morale of the Allied forces, particularly with the arrival of American troops, which bolstered their numbers and resources. This shift prompted a sense of urgency among German military leaders, leading to intensified efforts to fortify their defenses and strategize counterattacks. The introduction of fresh American soldiers also heightened fears of an extended conflict, contributing to a decline in German morale as the tide of war appeared to be turning against them. Overall, the Germans viewed the influx of American troops as a significant challenge to their war efforts.
The Germans were caught by surprise.
The Germans reacted to the armistice by the had to sign it and that was almost like a peace settlement...
they react so aggressively and almost lead to destructive war
They never actually did anything until 1945 and that was when most of the camps had killed all the Jews.

Yes France had colonies during World War 2. Some of the colonies joined the Vichy Free French and some joined the axis forces (via the Vichy Free French). Most of the French Colonies chose to go against France once the Nazis took over France and the Vichy Free French was formed. They allied themselves with the Allied Forces instead. The colonies were French-Indochina (Viet Nam - allied with the Allied Forces); Chad, French Congo and Gabon (went with the Free French) Guadeloupe, Martinique of the West Indies and French Guiana joined the Free French in 1943 Syria, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco were under Vichy French control until the Allied Forces liberated them, then they allied with the Allied Forces. French Polynesia joined the Vichy French right away French North Africa, French West Africa and French Equatorial Africa allied themselves with the Free French Forces under General Charles De Gaulle and they fought with the Allied forces against the Germans.

Japan fought, but the Allied forces defeated them so that many of the Japanese soldiers died and Japan just had to surrender.

Zimmermann telegram
He was deeply outraged with Hitler for breaking the peace pact. He immediately mobilized his forces for war, but they were unprepared, and could not take the harsh strain. But Stalin was very brutal with the Germans for breaking the pact, and he came down on them harder than a ton of bricks for it.
