Very true. Far too little, far too late; if I remember, Hitler’s hope was that it compel the Allies to ask for a separate peace which he could then use to redeploy the German military to continue on the Eastern Front against the Soviets.
Not that he didn’t have some supporters in the West. As I remember it, both Patton and Churchill advocated the idea of turning the Wehrmacht around, rearming and resupplying them, then throwing them headlong at the Soviets.
