using panel-shaped wooden structures, so as to portray an undamaged Berlin in the film Goebbels has planned for the occasion. Grünbaum, standing under the podium, is coerced into giving the speech while Hitler ad-libs and gesticulates. Grünbaum deviates from the planned text and begins mocking Hitler before he is shot, while Hitler flees the lectern just before the bomb explodes. Fatally injured, Grünbaum predicts that the war will soon be over and that the Führer will eventually take his own life. He notes that in a hundred years, actors will still be writing about Hitler and actors will portray him, because people will want to understand the atrocities of the Nazi regime.
