Fest ( historian ) who inspired this film has often be in the critic to be " lightly forgetting "as for the nazis.
I found a real good critic on this film.
In the end we both agree that is was a " merde "....

Is there special "review" or censorship for any depiciton of Hitler in Germany? - mr grits 11:38:16 08/13/05 (9)
With specific anti-Nazi laws on books I thought doing much on the subject was highly discouraged. In "Downfall" I found the most sympathetic Nazi to be Hitler himself--the rest were mindless, robot fanatics.

  Well it may depends on your very own sensibility. Hitler way too sympathetic in my view and that is what I wrote in my original review.
  I saw the long interview of his secretary on the German TV shortly before her death.
  She was the nice girl next door.
  She did not knew much.
  I wonder how good a secretary she was....
  They should have hung her.

  saying all Germans still alive deserved to die because they were cowards, traitors, and scum---the best and the bravest already had died, he screamed. He specifically shed no tears for the young, women, and elderly---all better off dead to him. The massacre of Goebbels family also met with his approval.
  Yeah, a reallllly sympathetic figure.

    not during his delusional, psychotic ranting. He seemed to be a man trapped in a roll he created for himself.

    And that is also spiritually true. He learnt his " magnetism " with a private teacher.
    Why did nobody back then put a bullet through his head?
    Why?

        Hitler was lucky to escape the bomb in Munich and later in his bunker another one.
