Disintegration of Germany

If you can't put short comments, put them here

I thought the movie was showing Hitler's death, but when I saw the episode after Hitler's death, I realized the profound connotation of the empire's destruction in the title: the destruction of an empire begins with the collapse of faith, and then Germany begins to collapse. After Hitler's death, Chancellor Goebbels tried to follow Hitler's path to continue his exploration, but gradually he realized that there were some things that only Hitler could do.

I have to admire Hitler's charisma. The idea of ​​Nazism is to kill all the bad people and the world will be better, but the standard of good or bad is up to you. Hitler not only persuaded the German people with this idea, but also put it into practice. . But Hitler never thought that the war machine could be started by him, but not stopped by him.

The children in the film are worth noting. First of all, Peter, a young boy who destroyed two Soviet tanks, was successfully awarded the Medal of Honor by Hitler, but after seeing his comrades leave one after another, he chose to escape. Then there are the little girls at the dinner table feeding the dolls. Innocent she would never know that it was their father who slammed a grenade under the table and took their precious lives. As well as the little angels in the choir, the singing in the war zone is like the sound of nature, purifying the soul, but in the end, they are also forced to die in their sleep.

The film is very real because it is carried out from the first point of view, and the portrayal of Hitler is more objective, flesh and blood, and gets rid of the usual label of war madman.

Whimsy: Hitler: life, never sympathize with the weak, heaven is just the nonsense of a priest. (So ​​get stronger, come on, duck~) Architect Speer: If we want to rebuild Berlin, we must destroy him first, so the Soviet army is here to help~ (serious nonsense)

    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.

Downfall quotes

  • 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]

  • General der Infanterie Wilhelm Burgdorf: [after Hitler realizes that the war is lost and goes to his room] What now?

    SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein: It's time to end this spectacle.

    Generalfeldmarschall Wilhelm Keitel: [Shocked] What do you mean? Just stop fighting? That's unthinkable! The Führer said we will not surrender. We will not repeat November 1918! Never!

    SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein: You all heard him. He's no longer leading us. 'Do whatever you want.' That's what he said.

    Generalfeldmarschall Wilhelm Keitel: There is no one who will replace him! The Führer is the Führer!

    General der Infanterie Hans Krebs: [to the others] The Führer is just confused. He will pull through.

    SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein: Oh, great! And what will happen afterwards?

    General der Infanterie Hans Krebs: [pause] We cannot surrender for the Führer would never approve. We swore to obey his will!

    SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein: Nothing but empty phrases! We must act NOW! Before it's all too late!

    General der Infanterie Wilhelm Burgdorf: You just want to save your skin!

    SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein: [to Burgdorf] Mind your words.
