In April of 1945, Germany stands at the brink of defeat with the Russian Army closing in from the east and the Allied Expeditionary Force attacking from the west. In Berlin, capital of the Third Reich, Adolf Hitler proclaims that Germany will still achieve victory and orders his generals and advisers to fight to the last man. When the end finally does come, and Hitler lies dead by his own hand, what is left of his military must find a way to end the killing that is the Battle of Berlin, and lay down their arms in surrender.

"This was a strange movie. It is rare to see the view of World War 2 from the German point of view, and even rarer for the movie not be sympathetic to said Germans. This movie is brutal in every way you would expect, however this movie feels real. The portrayal of Hitler and the rest of the Germans was honest, and a bit unsettling. The unwavering loyalty to the end was terrible to watch. If you know what you're getting yourself into, this is a great watch. "

"shows the reach and effects of blind loyalty and mass brainwashing. i wish it explained more at the end abt the secretary and what she did post-war"

"Not a very good fiction, and not a very good documentary. Difficult to know which it is trying to be, and difficult to know what is fact, and what is fiction. Imo, these events do not need to be dramatized, and better documentaries exists."

"9.5/10. The greatest depiction of Hitler's final days in his bunker. His rant has to be one of the most parodied memes in history!"

"Perfectly crafted film"

"A look inside of Hitlers bunker and the end of the nazi Germany"

"Really good. It was frustrating how much a person would belive in a cause than be concerned about people’s safety. I pity them for a bit. Great movie overall with the best german acting I’ve ever seen. "
