"that effected the extinction of Nazi Germany"

Hello, the text now says: "that effected the extinction of Nazi Germany". Maybe I don't fully understand "extinction" in this sentence, but it was not so much about the "extinction" of "Germany" or "Nazi Germany" (dissolution or dismemberment of the country itself), but about making Germany unable to continue the war.
