The controversy over this film undoubtedly stems from its almost paranoid truth: is loyalty wrong? Is the love for a country wrong? Is National Socialism wrong? Is it wrong for the audience to cry? Is the righteous wrong about Hitler's endless exaggeration as a demon? This question, which does not seem to have any room for controversy, may be answered in thousands of years. So, will the answer be the same as it is now?

The atmosphere of 200808 is quite oppressive, and from the perspective of a documentary, it calmly tells about the last ten days of Moustache, the desperate situation, the subordinates who betrayed their relatives, and the fanatical believers who are buried with the whole family. In private, he is a gentleman's devil, but from time to time some sensational words come out of his mouth, resisting his inner sensibility like he resists foreign enemies, and he is dismissive of humanitarianism. Crazy words seem so natural in the context of the times, and our common sense 100 years later is out of tune in that era. For Himmler, Speer betrayed himself and became extremely angry, gradually going crazy. In the end, he chose to commit suicide in pursuit of a decent curtain call in history. Mothers who don't want to let their children live under the sky without Nazis and kill flesh and blood are already crazy. But at the last moment of these people, some of them are probably only the sadness that the Nazis' belief did not last.
Adolf Hitler: The war is lost... But if you think that I'll leave Berlin for that, you are sadly mistaken. I'd prefer to put a bullet in my head.
[first lines]
Traudl Junge: I've got the feeling that I should be angry with this child, this young and oblivious girl. Or that I'm not allowed to forgive her for not seeing the nature of that monster. That she didn't realise what she was doing. And mostly because I've gone so obliviously. Because I wasn't a fanatic Nazi. I could have said in Berlin, "No, I'm not doing that. I don't want to go the Führer's headquarters." But I didn't do that. I was too curious. I didn't realise that fate would lead me somewhere I didn't want to be. But still, I find it hard to forgive myself.
