The power of this movie was in seeing how intelligent, civilized people can support barbarism, and how this can seem good, even correct, from a certain point of view. You find yourself sympathizing with the characters in the bunker, when it hits you: "What am I thinking? How can I be rooting for the Nazis?"

Meanwhile in the USA, we've got right-wingers who tell us we need to support our troops and president, and to question or criticize is made to seem unpatriotic. So the movie has a certain resonance here, at least as far as I'm concerned.
