The German military was definitely defeated in WW1. The fact that the Allied powers
never got into Germany was because the German military knew they were defeated and a huge collapse was imminent. This is important because the "stabbed in the back by the politicians" narrative, while not invented by Hitler, was used extensively by him to undermine the democratic government.

Had Germany not sued for peace, their army would have been overrun in weeks.

I do agree with you that one of the reasons for the harshness of the allied effort in WW2, with their insistence of "unconditional surrender", was to prevent this untrue line of thinking to reoccur.
