Title: Almost a parody of the facts...
Product review: I saw this movie (on DVD) again, after many years, to compare it with the other main films as to Hitler's last days: "The Bunker" and "Downfall" (A/K/A Der Untergang). Of the three, it is by far the weakest in several respects: Hitler is one dimensional and over the top in presentation; his dialogue is generally made up of cobbled together verses and phrases from his speeches. Many of the Bunker principle players are missing.The film is dated and the inter-cut original footage does not work well. It looks out of place and only serves as a distraction. The movie really does not measure up next to "Downfall". I do give them credit for being the first to take on this subject matter as a feature film. However, don't think you're watching history unfold in this movie, especially at the end when there is a fictional "soap opera" turn of events as Eva Braun and then Hitler commit suicide.
