Downfall - Front Line Berlin

In 1942, young Traudl Junge (Alexandra Maria Lara) lands her dream job -- secretary to Adolf Hitler (Bruno Ganz) at the peak of his power. Three years later, Hitler's empire is now his underground bunker. The real-life Traudl narrates Hitler's final days as he rages against imagined betrayers and barks orders to phantom armies, while his mistress, Eva Braun (Juliane Köhler), clucks over his emotional distance, and other infamous Nazis prepare for the end.

Quick note on the translation.
The adjutants translation says "be sensible" as in "Be Sensible, don't go back to berlin, don't get shot".
What he actually says is "Would be reasonable" as in "moving to the west actually makes sense".

Everything would be under control after Steiner's assault

General Wiedling was perhaps the last high ranking man in Berlin that truly grasped the reality of what they were facing. It was a hopeless situation: 1.5 million Soviet troops against only a little more than a shattered mix of 85, 000 Wehrmacht, SS, Hitler Youth, and Volksturm.

I love when he gets to the Fuhrer bunker and they ask the General what he wants and he says, without skipping a beat, "I'm here to be shot." And the guy just looks at

“I’m 1000 meters from the front! Now 900 meters… now 800… now 650. Damn, the Russians move fast!”

The younger officer who accompanied Weidling to the Bunker was Siegfried Knappe. His memoir "Soldat" documents these events.

[craiglesher]

I've seen this clip a few times and I just realized you can hear Russian Katytusha rockets in the background.

[angryvaultguy]

Imagine being a German soldier during the last few days of the war knowing that your country will lose but out of pure desperation you have to fight

[empiretopguy]

I've watched the full movie and I gotta say this is the best movie I've ever watched. It shows the drama, the history, and the horror which soldiers and officers faced during the war.

Weidling is a badass. See that little pat on the arm he gives his adjutant as they're picking themselves up off the floor? Just a little subtle thing to show he's one of the few general officers in the total insanity of Berlin 1945 to give a damn about his men.

[Marcelo_DBZ_Music]

I love how he gives him an "attaboy" pat for saving his ass

[markbirchall]

I love Downfall and Bruno Ganz was incredible as Hitler. One of the few films that I think could've been better for being slightly longer. I would've liked to have seen more combat scenes as the Russians encircled the depleted German lines.

[VegasViking]

I love the attention to detail. you can hear the Katyushka rocket launchers firing in the background because they're THAT CLOSE. Chef's kiss.

[caffplays]

0:01 I love the attention of detail on that Opel Blitz (gray transport truck) with sandbags on the sides to protect the engines from enemy bullets.

[AtomicExtremophile]

I bought the DVD once it was out. Not a bad performance by any actor, in my opinion, all were great. Definitely the best foreign language film I've ever watched!

[daniel_sc]

Wow. That junior officer must have had x-ray vision to see that shell coming through that brick wall.

[Wellington-nlvm]

Saw this movie in the theatre, re-watched it a couple of times. It's one of the greates war film ever made

[warlordofbritannia]

It’s alright, Steiner’s counterattack will stabilize the line…

[CKC_Productions]

“Der Untergang” take is the movie itself or a meme; regardless it is a well known masterpiece.👍🏽💯🏆

[zycyhno]

0:55, I have seen other translations of this line where the subordinate says "not a bad idea general" which I find much more humorous and fitting for the generals reaction but may be inaccurate
