The perspective of those around the dictator

I was about to clear the hard drive, and I just put one in. At first, I didn't even pay attention to the name. When I turned on the speaker, I found that it was spoken in German. At the beginning I thought it was a documentary, and then a row of ladies was taken to let Hitler draft, the draft? Choosing a secretary is a turning point in the fate of the protagonist, Ms. Jung.
After seeing Wikipedia, I realized that this film was very influential and well received. It turned out that no German-speaking person had played Hitler before. For Hitler’s last days, my impression is described in the history books. The Soviet Red Army was approaching the city, Hitler and his mistress (although they had their wedding a few days ago, but they still call Eva in the book) committed suicide, and that photo was taken. Poorly printed photos of charred corpses. In the two-hour movie, the last days are magnified and I saw the last days of a dictator. Some people say that the depiction is too human. In fact, this kind of reality makes people feel that the dictator brings humanity. s damage.
In fact, I have always been puzzled. Why did the Germans listen to a hysterical Hitler in the middle of the last century? In fact, this film answers some of the questions. The people around him are loyal and indulgent towards him, so that in the end this monster did not believe in the army. No, the people around had to follow the orders against the lost army, so that he died and many people died for him.
At the end of the film, Ms. Jung said about her reflection on this experience. It’s just a secretary, typing, no order was given by her, so she didn’t think she was wrong. The Nazi crimes listed in the Nuremberg trial, she didn’t know before, and it was really far away from him, knowing that in the end, she said she saw It was the experience of her peers being persecuted to death by the Nazis that they deeply realized that these were so close to her. From her perspective, Hitler was not hysterical all day long, and he was kind and kind to the people around him, which is very consistent with the image of the dictator described by the people around the dictator. But the last narrative proves that she has seen through this experience of her own, and that the human side cannot conceal the nature of the devil. It is a pity that many people around the dictator do not have this awareness.

    Extremely calm, as if the scenes in the book are presented, there is no egg under the nest, no one should not be responsible for their own choices, the ruined Qianqiu Empire, the immortal Germany, did not explain that the female secretary's parents were actually Nazis Supporters, she practiced typing and shorthand specially to become the secretary of the Fuhrer. Maybe this is part of the reason for so many typing mistakes at the beginning.
