Don’t always say that you are the winner, you have to love peace~

The destruction of an empire is the end of a period of history, and history is always written by the victor.
When time goes by, who will remember them.
Who is right and who is wrong is no longer a concept.
The cheers of the winners, the fate of the losers. The coward's low eyebrows.
Or sad, or angry, or hesitant, or confused.
A game that failed from the beginning.
Who is singing, who is keeping faith?
Only the witnesses can understand that all this is just the longest and most tragic dream I have ever made.

Downfall quotes

  • Adolf Hitler: [Screaming after Steiner didn't attack after giving an order] Traitors! I've been betrayed and deceived from the very beginning! What a monstrous betrayal of the German people, but all those traitors will pay. They'll pay with their own blood. They shall drown in their own blood!

  • Generalfeldmarschall Wilhelm Keitel: The Führer has lost all sense of reality.

    Generaloberst Alfred Jodl: He moves divisions that only exist on his map. Steiner's scattered unit can hardly defend itself and yet, Steiner is ordered to attack! It's pure madness!

    SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein: Then why don't you tell him yourself?

    Generalfeldmarschall Wilhelm Keitel: He won't listen to reason. You should know that.

    SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein: Something must be done.

    Generalfeldmarschall Wilhelm Keitel: Are you insane? We'll be thrown out like Rundstedt and Guderian!

    SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein: Yes, and?

    Generaloberst Alfred Jodl: [glares at Fegelein] We are soldiers! We pledged our allegiance to the Führer!

    SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein: So that means we are no longer allowed to think?

    General der Infanterie Wilhelm Burgdorf: All this coming from you? An opportunist? A ruthless careerist?

    SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein: Pardon?

    [Burgdorf takes a swig of alcohol]
