( people chattering )
UH, EXCUSE ME, DO YOU...
SAY, UH, THE BUNKER ?
THE BUNKER, UH...
( speaking German )
) ( speaking German
THAT'S IT.
( soldiers chattering )
( plane engine roaring )
YOU SPEAK ENGLISH ?
HMM ? UM,
THIS IS MY NAME THERE, JAMES O'DONNELL.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE BUNKER.
( speaking German )
UH, CIGARETTE, HMM ? SMOKE ?
YOU'RE WELCOME.
( plane engine roaring )
THANK YOU.
( water dripping )
( male narrator ) IN 1945, THE CITY OF BERLIN WAS HITLER'S CAPITAL.
AND THE BUNKER WAS HIS LAST ADDRESS.
HE LIVED HERE UNDERGROUND FOR 105 DAYS.
I ARRIVED HERE ON ASSIGNMENT FORNEWSWEEK.
IT WAS JUST 2 MONTHS AFTER HITLER'S DEATH.
AS I MADE MY WAY THROUGH THE COLD, DARK CHAMBERS,
I COULDN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHAT HAD HAPPENED HERE.
FINDING THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION HAS TAKEN ME MANY LONG YEARS.
MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED IN THIS BUNKER
SPENT ENDLESS YEARS IN RUSSIAN PRISON CAMPS.
I HOPED THAT THOSE STILL LIVING
COULD RECONSTRUCT THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES HERE.
EACH FROM HIS OR HER OWN VIEWPOINT.
I CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE IS HISTORICAL TRUTH.
MEMORY ALWAYS DISTORTS OF COURSE.
BUT I DO BELIEVE THEIR STORIES PRESENT A PSYCHOLOGICAL TRUTH
AND ARE, PERHAPS, AS CLOSE AS WE CAN COME.
IT'S JANUARY 16, 1945.
THE DARK CHAMBER YOU SEE HERE WAS SOON TO BE OCCUPIED.
THE AMERICANS ARE AT THE RHINE !
AND AS FOR THE BRITISH, WELL, CAN'T YOU HEAR THE BOMBING ?
( officer ) SPEAK UP !
THERE'S NOTHING AVAILABLE. THERE'S NOTHING--
GUDERIAN. WHAT ?
HE'S GOING BELOW. WHAT ?
HITLER IS GOING BELOW TO THE BUNKER.
NOTIFY YOUR STAFF.
( siren blaring )
( officers chattering )
AND THIS WILL BE USED FOR THE CONFERENCE ROOM.
THIS ?
MMM-HMM.
ALL THE ROOMS ARE SMALL, BORMANN.
WHAT HAVE WE COME TO ?
( sighing )
( machine humming )
WHAT'S THE TROUBLE , HENTSCHEL ?
WELL, IT'S ONLY A 140-KILOWATT GENERATOR HERE.
IT'S GOT TO POWER EVERYTHING.
THE LIGHTS, THE FILTER, THE PUMP FOR THE SPRING--
SPRING ?
. WE GET OUR WATER HERE FROM AN UNDERGROUND SPRING
BUT NOT TO WORRY, GEN. RATTENHUBER,
. I'M A GENIUS WITH MACHINERY
WE'VE CARRIED FREDERICK THE GREAT ALL OVER EUROPE WITH US.
HE'S NEVER WITHOUT IT.
THERE WILL BE NO SMOKING IN THE BUNKER AT ANY TIME,
THOSE ARE THE FUHRER'SORDERS,
ON DUTY, OR OFF.
ALL MEALS WILL BE TAKEN IN THE UPPER BUNKER
OR THE OLD REICH CHANCELLERY MESS HALL.
QUESTIONS ?
DISMISSED.
MAJ. GUENTER, HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO HIM
ABOUT ZOSSEN AND ABOUT GOIN G TO ZOSSEN ?
THE FUHRERREFUSES TO LEAVE BERLIN.
( sighing )
. IT'S ONLY 18 KILOMETERS AWAY
HAS THE FINEST COMMUNICATIONS OF ANY BUNKER IN GERMANY
AND IT'S 7 TIMES AS BIG.
HE KNOWS THAT, GEN. RATTENHUBER.
HE REFUSES TO LEAVE BERLIN.
. I WANT ALL CALLS FOR THE FUHRER TO COME THROUGH ME
DOES THAT INCLUDE DR. GOEBBELS, SIR ?
NO.
BUT I WILL, OF COURSE, CONTROL ALL ACCESS TO THE FUHRER.
UNDERSTOOD ?
YES, SIR.
ANY MESSAGE FROM MY WIFE ?
NO, WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET THROUGH YET, SIR.
IMPOSSIBLE !
WELCOME TO BERLIN, REICH MINISTER GOEBBELS.
( guns firing )
( bomb exploding )
( officers chattering )
ARE YOU STILL AT YOUR COUNTRY ESTATE ?
OF COURSE. IT'S GOOD FOR THE CHILDREN.
WE HAVE A SWIMMING POOL, TENNIS COURT.
YOU KNOW, THE FLOWERS HAVE JUST BEGUN TO BLOOM. WONDERFUL.
NO AIR RAIDS ?
SO FAR WE'VE BEEN FORTUNATE.
PLEASE INFORM THE FUHRER, I'M FILLED WITH CONFIDENCE.
WE WILL SUCCEED.
THE RED'S DEFINITELY THE GROUND.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
I'VE SEEN BETTER SWITCHBOARDS IN CHEAP HOTELS.
IT'S ALL WE HAVE AVAILABLE.
IS THERE A SCRAMBLING DEVICE ?
YES.
WHERE ?
HERE.
HELLO, ROCHUS.
HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO REACH YOUR WIFE YET ?
I'M STILL TRYING TO GET SET UP.
WHAT ABOUT GRETA ? WHAT'S HAPPENED TO HER ? IS SHE STILL IN BERLIN ?
YES.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET HER ON A PLANE TO BAVARIA.
THE RUSSIANS, THEY TELL ME,
THEY'RE RAPING ALL THE WOMEN.
FROM WHAT I HEAR, THEY'RE RAPING EVERYONE.
( telephone ringing )
HEILHITLER.
( both ) HEILHITLER.
HERRSPEER, GOOD TO SEE YOU.
COME ALONG. I'LL SHOW YOU.
COL. VON BELOW IS WAITING TO SEE YOU
BEFORE YOU MEET WITH THE FUHRER.
MAJ. GUENTER WILL SHOW YOU.
YES.
( door closing )
. ( woman ) THANK YOU, SIR
( officers chattering )
AH.
WELCOME TO OUR LITTLE TOMB.
WHEN DID YOU GET BACK TO BERLIN ?
LAST NIGHT. FROM THE FRONT ?
EAST PRUSSIA.
BAD AS THEY SAY ?
WORSE.
THE SITUATION CONFERENCE IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
. IT STARTED SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT
SO THINGS ARE GETTING A LITTLE MORE DESPERATE.
MAJ. GUENTER,
WOULD YOU MAKE IT KNOWN THAT REICH MINISTER SPEER HAS ARRIVED.
YES, SIR.
WELL, WHAT DO YOU THIN K OF THE PLACE ?
IT'S CLAMMY. THANK YOU.
COLD AND CLAMMY ONE MOMENT, AND WARM AND SULTRY THE NEXT.
IT'S NOT EXACTLY ONE OF YOUR ARCHITECTURAL MARVELS, SPEER.
I DIDN'T DESIGN THIS ONE.
GOOD. IT ALSO SMELLS.
WE'RE 50 FEET BELOW THE GROUND HERE,
WHICH IS 20 FEET BELOW THE SEWER.
A LITTLE CAUTION: BORMANN ISN'T THE ONLY ONE HERE
WHO'D LIKE TO CUT OUR THROATS.
E NOW TELL ME, IS IT TRU
ABOUT THE PLAN TO DESTROY EVERYTHING.
THE TOWNS, THE VILLAGES.
THE PLAN EXISTS, YES.
BUT WILL HE GO THROUGH WITH IT ?
UNLESS I CAN TALK HIM OUT OF IT.
YOU THINK THAT'S POSSIBLE ?
( door opening )
EXCUSE ME. THEY'VE ASKED YOU TO JOIN THE CONFERENCE.
AND HERE AT HELMSTEDT, PANZERDIVISION 6AND 12 HAVE REGROUPED
WITH 27 NEW TIGER TANKS.
( Guenter ) WE HAVE MOST ENCOURAGING NEWS FROM GEN. DIETRICH.
HE'S REPULSED THE ENEMY ALL ALONG THE SECTOR, WEST OF THE SAAR.
THE LUFTWAFFEREPORTS THE LOSS OF 629 AIRCRAFT
IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER.
HOWEVER, IN SPITE OF THIS, WE BROUGHT DOWN 87 ENEMY BOMBERS.
WE STILL HAVE 4 PANZERDIVISIONS
FULLY COMMITTED TO BUDAPEST.
. THEY'RE CONFIDENT THEY CAN HOLD THE CITY
THE 2 ARMIES WHO FOUGHT GALLANTLY IN BUDAPEST...
HOW CAN WE HELP BUDAPEST ?
...HAVE NOW REGROUPED.
WE CAN'T.
( General ) THEY'VE BEEN RE-SUPPLIED.
BUT BERLIN'S GOING TO FALL.
WHEN IT DOES, THE CITY DISAPPEAR S FROM THE MAP.
EVERY WEEK THEY SIMPLY DISAPPEAR.
...AS WE'RE NOT AT ALL CERTAIN AS OF THIS MOMENT
, EXACTLY WHERE WE STAND
I WOULD CALL UPON HIM, IF YOU WOULD, MY FUHRER.
SPEER.
THE FUHRER WOULD LIKE TO HEAR
. THE DECEMBER PRODUCTION FIGURES
THE OVERALL PRODUCTION OF ARMAMENTS IS DOWN 23 PERCENT.
N WE ARE, HOWEVER, MAINTAINING FULL PRODUCTIO
OF FIGHTER PLANES AND PANZERTANKS.
OUR GREATEST DIFFICULT Y RIGHT NOW
IS GETTING GASOLIN E TO SUPPLY THEM.
2 OF OUR LARGEST HYDROGENATING PLANTS
HAVE BEEN DESTROYED IN AIR RAIDS,
AS YOU WELL KNOW.
. THE PRODUCTION OF SYNTHETIC GASOLINE IS AT A STANDSTILL
DO YOU NEED MORE ?
THANK YOU, SPEER. WE'VE HEARD ENOUGH.
DR. MORELL IS WITH THE FUHRER.
IT'LL BE A FEW MOMENTS.
OH, GOOD AFTERNOON, ALBERT.
OR IS IT EVENING ?
YOU CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE DOWN HERE.
I'M SORRY TO KEEP YOU WAITING.
YOU MAY GO IN NOW.
( papers rustling )
SIT DOWN, SPEER. COFFEE ?
NO, THANK YOU.
YOU'RE ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE I CAN TRUST, SPEER.
UH, SIT DOWN.
( sighing )
DID BORMANN SEND YOU THE INSTRUCTIONS ?
( clearing throat )
YES.
GOOD.
YOU UNDERSTAND WE WANT
COMPLETE DEMOLITION. I DON'T KNOW HOW.
FIRE, EXPLOSIVES, WHATEVER IT TAKES.
WHATEVER IT TAKES TO DO WHAT ?
I MEAN, I CAN UNDERSTAND THE DESTRUCTION OF, UH, BRIDGES
AND FACTORIES, AND MILITARY INSTALLATIONS,
BUT SURELY YOU DON'T MEAN HOUSES AND FARM ANIMALS--
. EVERYTHING . EVERYTHING
I WANT NOTHING LEF T TO THE ENEMY, YOU UNDERSTAND ?
NOTHING LEFT TO THE ENEMY.
BUT UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES,
THE GERMAN PEOPLE WOULD FACE UTTER STARVATION.
WE'LL BE THROWN BACK TO CONDITIONS OF THE MIDDLE AGES.
YEAH.
BUT SHOULD THE WAR BE LOST ?
THAT IS DEFEATIST TALK . I WON'T ALLOW--
THE GERMAN PEOPLE THAT ARE LEFT--
THE GERMAN PEOPLE THAT ARE LEFT WOULD NOT DESERVE TO LIVE.
THE GOOD ONES WILL HAVE DIED ALREADY
FIGHTING FOR THEIR FATHERLAND.
WE MUST LEAVE THEM SOMETHING.
SOME, NO MATTER HOW PRIMITIVE, FORM OF SOCIETY. SOMETHING.
I THINK YOU DESPAIR FAR TOO MUCH, SPEER.
WE'VE HAD OUR SETBACKS FROM THE BEGINNING.
AND EVERY SETBACK HAS ALWAYS BEEN A--A WHIPLASH,
DRIVING US ONWARD WITH MORE DETERMINATIO N THAN BEFORE.
THIS TIME WE WILL SHOW THE ENEMY THAT WE WILL NOT SURRENDER.
WE'LL NEVER SURRENDER.
WE'LL CONTINUE THE ATTACK, AGAIN AND AGAIN.
10 TIMES OVER, WE'LL CONTINUE THE ATTACK.
POLICY HAS BEEN SET. CARRY IT OUT.
HEILHITLER.
WELL ?
DID YOU SEE HIM ?
YOU WERE QUITE RIGHT, COLONEL.
AT ONE MOMENT IT'S WARM AND SULTRY,
AND THEN SUDDENLY IT'S COLD AND CLAMMY.
AH.
TOO BAD.
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, I THINK I'LL HAVE A WORD WITH THE ENGINEER.
SEE IF WE CAN'T CHANGE THE ATMOSPHERE DOWN HERE.
OH, NO, NO, NO. NOT THE VENTILATION. NOT THE SYSTEM.
THE FUHRER'SORDERS.
YOU SEE, I'M NOT ALLOWED TO KEEP THE AIR FLOWING
IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM DURING MILITARY STAFF MEETINGS.
WHY NOT ?
S WELL, THE FUHRERBELIEVES THAT THE AIR PASSING THROUGH THE BLOWER
PRODUCES EXCESSIVE PRESSUR E INTO THE EARS.
HE BELIEVES IT REDUCES EFFICIENCY.
PERHAPS WE CAN, UH, CORRECT THE SITUATION.
LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT THE MAIN AIR VENT.
( Hentschel ) FILTERS ARE USUALLY CHANGED EVERY MONTH.
WE'VE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM HERE, GETTING A PROPER FIT.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE AIR INTAKE
IS ALMOST COMPLETELY CONCEALED.
( Speer ) HOW'S THE FILTER REMOVED ?
OH, JUST THE 4 SCREWS.
LET ME SEE IF WE CAN'T GET YOU A BETTER FILTER, HENTSCHEL.
I THINK THAT MIGHT HELP MATTERS.
THANKS FOR YOUR TROUBLE.
OH, WHATEVER I CAN DO.
( bomb exploding )
( siren wailing )
THEY'RE STARTING IN AGAIN.
THE BRITISH BOMB US AT BREAKFAST, THE AMERICANS AT DINNER.
IT'S A CONSPIRACY, I THINK.
ANYTHING ELSE, SIR ?
YES, YOU CAN CALL OFF THE AIR RAID.
( chuckling )
BEG YOUR PARDON ?
( both laughing )
THANK YOU, SIR. GOOD NIGHT, SIR.
GOOD NIGHT.
( coughing )
SO,
WANT TO FORGET DINNER, GO TO THE SHELTER ?
OH, NO, THANKS. I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF SHELTERS FOR ONE DAY.
LET'S SEE IF IT GETS ANY WORSE.
CAN'T GET ANY WORSE THAN THE FOOD.
. I'M SORRY. FORGIVE ME, DIETER
I--I THINK I'VE LOST MY APPETITE.
I DON'T BLAME YOU.
TELL ME, HOW LONG DO YOU THINK
HITLER WILL REMAIN IN BERLIN ?
. I HAVE NO IDEA
BUT IF HE STAYS HERE LONG ENOUGH UNDERGROUND,
. THERE'LL BE NOTHING ABOVE THE GROUND FOR HIM TO COME UP FOR
YOU MEAN THE AIR RAIDS ?
NO.
I MEAN HIS SCORCHED-EARTH POLICY.
HE'S COMMITTED TO IT.
HOW IRONIC.
HE NOW APPOINTS YOU THE AGENT OF GERMANY'S DESTRUCTION
AFTER YEARS OF BEING HIS MASTER BUILDER.
I REFUSE THE HONOR.
REFUSE ?
YOU DID SAY "REFUSE" ?
I'M WRITING HIM A MEMORANDUM
STATING CLEARLY, PRECISELY, IN DETAIL,
THAT SUCH A POLICY WOULD PROVE CATASTROPHIC
TO THE FUTURE OF THE GERMAN PEOPLE,
AND I REFUSE TO IMPLEMENT IT.
WHAT IF HE INSISTS THAT YOU DO SO ?
( explosions )
( sighing )
THEN...
SOMETHING QUITE DESPERATE MUST BE CONSIDERED.
. AND I'D LIKE YOUR HELP
IN THAT CASE, I COULD USE A BRANDY.
WE COULD BOTH USE A BRANDY.
IT'S MY LAST BOTTLE.
I'LL TRY AND GET YOU ANOTHER.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BRIBE ME, ALBERT.
YOU'VE GOT MY HEAD OUT OF HITLER'S NOOSE MORE THAN ONCE.
I'LL DO WHAT I CAN.
YOU MAY WANT TO CHANGE YOUR MIND
WHEN YOU HEAR WHAT I'M THINKING.
TRUST ME.
CAN WE TALK ?
IT'S SAFE.
I WANT YOU TO MAKE SOME INQUIRIES
TO THE ARMY ORDNANCE OFFICE.
COMING FROM THE CHIEF OF MUNITIONS DIVISION,
THEY WILL SEEM LIKE PERFECTLY NATURAL INQUIRIES.
CONCERNING WHAT ?
. POISON GAS EXPERIMENTS
. THEY'VE BEEN TESTING SOMETHING NEW CALLED TABUN
FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND , IT CAN PENETRATE ANY GAS MASK,
ANY FILTER PUT UP AGAINST IT.
ALBERT, JUST EXACTLY WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND ?
I WANT TO CONDUCT TABU N INTO THE BUNKER.
TO YOU, ALBERT. AND TO ME.
MAY WE BOTH SURVIVE.
HOW DO YOU INTEND TO INTRODUCE THE GAS ?
THROUGH THE MAIN AIR VENT NEAR THE CHANCELLERY GARDENS.
YOU CAN MANAGE THAT WITHOUT BEING SEEN ?
THERE ARE SENTRIES POSTED. S.S. GUARDS.
( sighing )
BUT THEY KNOW ME.
IT WON'T WORK, ALBERT.
TABUN'S ONLY EFFECTIVE WITH EXPLOSIVES.
I'M QUITE FAMILIAR WITH IT.
A SHELL OR A HAND GRENADE WOULD DO IT,
BUT THEY WOULD SHATTER THE THIN WALLS OF THE AIR DUCTS.
AND TABUN'S TOO RISKY.
WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST ?
THE OLD RELIABLE: MUSTARD GAS.
HOW WOULD YOU GET IT ?
WELL, IT WON'T BE EASY. JUST GIVE ME TIME.
THERE'S A BUNKER, UNDERGROUND, BELOW THE CHANCELLERY.
UH, NO.
NO, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. YOU CAN'T COME HERE. NO.
GO TO MUNICH.
IF YOU GO TO MUNICH, I CAN ARRANGE AN ESCORT.
Be patient. The battle for Berlin is just beginning.
IT MAY TAKE WEEKS, MAYBE MONTHS, BUT WE SHALL BE VICTORIOUS.
I PROMISE YOU. I HAVE NO DOUBTS.
WE SHALL BE VICTORIOUS.
YES, I WILL.
GOODBYE.
( birds chirping )
IF ONLY MY GENERALS SHOWED SUCH DEVOTION, DOCTOR.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, SERGEANT ?
HAS BLONDIE GOT A WHELP THIS WEEK ?
NO. NOT YET.
WHEN SHE DOES,
I THINK WE'LL HAVE MAYBE 6 PUPS.
LOOK AT THE SIZE OF HER.
HEY, GOOD DOG. GOOD DOG.
. YES. SHE'S A SMART DOG, TOO
BLONDIE KNOWS A LOT OF TRICKS.
GOT ONE TRICK I'D LIKE TO KNOW.
HOW TO GET GOOD RED STEAK AT EVERY MEAL, EH ?
( laughing )
I TOLD YOU A MONTH AGO.
THE EASTERN FRONT IS LIKE A HOUSE OF CARDS.
IF THE FRONT IS BROKEN AT JUST ONE POINT,
ALL THE REST WILL COLLAPSE.
HOW DID THE ATTACK FAIL ? I'LL TELL YOU WHY.
INCOMPETENCE, NEGLIGENCE. IF GEN. BUSSE HAD ONLY--
HE HAD HALF A DIVISION ON THE FIELD.
( Guderian ) NO AMMUNITION LEFT.
HIS EQUIPMENT DESTROYED.
WHY DIDN'T HE ASK FOR MORE ?
WHERE ? HOW ?
SEE, EXCUSES, EXPLANATIONS , THAT'S ALL YOU GIVE ME.
GEN. BUSSE ISN'T TO BLAME. I WON'T ALLOW IT !
HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME THAT WAY !
I'M FIGHTING FOR GERMANY. MY WHOLE LIFE,
IT'S BEEN ONE LONG STRUGGL E FOR GERMANY.
HOW DARE YOU ?
HOW DO YOU DARE ? HOW DARE YOU ?
I INSIST YOU CANNOT BLAME GEN. BUSSE.
THEN WHO ?
WHO ?
( sighing )
WHO LET US DOWN ?
THE TROOPS.
THE TROOPS DID THEIR DUTY. LOOK AT THE CASUALTIES.
HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY BLAME THE TROOPS ?
THEY HAD NO CHANCE. GEN. GEHLEN MADE IT CLEAR--
GEN. GEHLEN IS AN INCOMPETENT FOOL.
HIS MAPS ARE IDIOTIC AND HE SHOULD BE SHUT UP IN A LUNATIC ASYLUM.
IF YOU WANT TO SEND GEN. GEHLEN TO AN ASYLUM,
THEN YOU HAD BETTER HAVE ME CERTIFIED AS WELL.
GEN. BUSSE IS NOW AT GORLITZ.
I WILL DEAL WITH HIM MYSELF.
. COL. GEN. GUDERIAN, I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR PHYSICAL HEALTH
I THINK IT REQUIRE S THAT YOU TAKE 6-WEEK SICK LEAVE
TO COMMENCE IMMEDIATELY.
THAT'LL BE ALL, GENTLEMEN.
NO, NO. MORE THAN THAT.
I TELL YOU THERE'S A GREAT INCREASE IN ANTI-SEMITISM
COMING FROM THE UNITED STATES.
THEY'RE BEGINNING TO WONDER JUST WHAT IT IS THEY'RE FIGHTING FOR.
OF COURSE, THE ENGLISH ARE SICK TO DEATH OF THIS WAR.
IF IT WEREN'T FOR CHURCHILL,
THAT JEW-RIDDEN, HALF-AMERICAN SWINE,
THERE'D BE NO ENGLISH FIGHTING TODAY.
CHURCHILL,
THE GRAVEDIGGER OF EUROPE.
WHAT A PITY. NOT A DROP LEFT FOR THE RUSSIANS.
OH, I'M SORRY. I FORGO T TO GET YOU ANOTHER.
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
I TRUST YOU DID SEND YOUR MEMORANDUM TO HITLER ?
YES.
AND HE SAID, "ALBERT, YOU'RE RIGHT AND I AM WRONG.
THERE'LL BE NO SCORCHED EARTH."
NO ? HE DIDN'T SAY THAT ?
THERE'S BEEN NO RESPONSE.
WE BOTH KNEW THAT NOTHING WOULD STOP HIM.
THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
IN THAT CASE, THE SMALL ITEM THAT YOU NEED IS AVAILABLE.
WHEN DO YOU WANT IT ?
FRIDAY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?
. ORDERS
T ALL S.S. STAFF GUARDS WILL TAKE OFF-DUTY RES
IN THE COMMUNICATIONS ROOMS.
WHY ?
. CONVERSION
D S.S. 6, 7, AND 8 ARE BEING CONVERTE
INTO A CASUALTY STATIO N IN THE CHANCELLERY.
OH, WE GOT CASUALTIES COMING INTO THE CHANCELLERY.
HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO WOR K WITH PEOPLE LYING AROUND ALL OVER THE PLACE ?
( explosions )
( telephone ringing )
SIR !
YES ?
WHERE ARE YOU GOING ?
THE BUNKER. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE FUHRER.
YOU WILL FIND THE ENTRANCE THROUGH THE TUNNEL.
( chuckling )
. I THOUGHT I'D WALK THROUGH THE GARDEN TONIGHT
. GET SOME FRESH AIR
HEILHITLER.
( crickets chirping )
REICH MINISTER SPEER.
YES.
COME WITH ME, PLEASE.
WAIT HERE.
BORMANN WILL BE HERE IMMEDIATELY.
BORMANN ?
I HAVE NO APPOINTMENT WITH BORMANN.
WAIT HERE.
( machine whirring )
HELLO, SIR.
UH, HENTSCHEL.
HOW ARE YOU ?
FINE.
ENGINE BREAKDOWN ?
OH, NOTHING SERIOUS.
STILL LOOKING FOR THAT FILTER.
THANK YOU.
BY THE WAY, YOU DIDN'T MENTION OUR CONVERSATION TO ANYONE ?
OH, YOU MEAN, ABOUT THE FILTER ?
YES.
DIDN'T SAY ANYTHIN G TO BORMANN ?
OH, NO, I DID NOT.
UH, THE MAIN AIR VENT
HAS BEEN ENTIRELY SURROUNDED BY A CHIMNEY.
AH, YES, I KNOW.
I SUPERVISED THE CONSTRUCTION.
WE DID ALL OF IT IN 12 HOURS.
OH.
ON WHOSE ORDERS ?
WELL, THE FUHRERHIMSELF.
COME WITH ME, SIR.
( Bormann ) AH, SPEER.
I WANTED TO BE THE FIRST TO WISH YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
THANK YOU.
I REMEMBER THAT WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY PARTY
HE HAD FOR YOU AT BERCHTESGADEN.
YES.
. WELL, I'M AFRAID TIMES HAVE CHANGED
YES.
( machine buzzing )
UH, WHAT IS IT YOU WANTED TO SEE ME ABOUT ?
THE FUHRERIS GREATLY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU, SPEER.
OH ?
FOR SOME REASON, YOU HAVE NOT CARRIED OUT
THE POLICIES SET OUT TO YOU.
. I DON'T KNOW..
UH, WHICH POLICY DO YOU REFER TO ?
THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF ALL TOWNS AND VILLAGES.
OH, WELL,
UH, THERE HAVE BEEN ADMINISTRATIVE DIFFICULTIES.
THAT IS THE LANGUAGE OF HIS GENERALS, SPEER.
I THINK YOU WILL FIND THE FUHREREXPECTED A LITTLE MORE OF YOU.
JUST WAIT HERE FOR A MOMENT.
( door closing )
GOOD EVENING, DOCTOR.
AND GOOD EVENING TO YOU, ALBERT.
AND HOW ARE YO U THIS EVENING ?
I'LL BE ABLE TO TELL YOU BETTER
AFTER MY MEETING WITH THE FUHRER.
HE'S QUITE ANXIOUS TO TALK TO YOU.
PERHAPS, I OUGHT TO HAVE ONE OF YOUR, UH, INJECTIONS FIRST.
( chuckling )
IT'S ALL RIGHT . GO IN. GO IN.
I WAS READING YOUR MEMORANDUM.
IT'S A VERY LONG MEMORANDUM.
YOU SAY HERE THAT,
"WE HAVE NO RIGHT AT THIS STAGE OF THE WAR
"TO CARRY OUT OUR DEMOLITIONS
WHICH WOULD DEVASTATE THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE."
IS THAT CORRECT ?
I WROTE THE MEMORANDUM. YES.
WHY ? YOU SAY, "WE HAVE NO RIGHT."
YOU BELIEVE THAT ?
( sighing )
IF OUR ENEMIES WISH TO DESTROY US COMPLETELY,
WHY HELP THEM ?
I THINK YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND
THAT THE POLICY WILL BE CARRIED OUT
WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR COOPERATION, SPEER.
I AM HOPING THERE IS STILL ROOM FOR RECONSIDERATION.
NO.
MY FUHRER,
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ANYON E HAS THE RIGHT TO TIE
THE FATE OF THE GERMAN PEOPLE TO HIS OWN PERSONAL DESTINY.
WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO PRESS THE POINT ?
WE MUST BE ABLE TO MAK E SOME DISTINCTIONS
BETWEEN MILITARY AND PURELY CIVILIAN--
I WON'T HEAR ANY MORE.
YOU UNDERSTAND ME ?
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE.
TELL MAJ. GUENTER TO COME IN HERE, NOW.
DO YOU REMEMBER AT BERCHTESGADEN,
THE HOURS WE SPENT TOGETHER,
PLANNING BUILDINGS FOR THE FUTURE GERMAN REICH.
TO ME, YOU AND I, WE WERE LIKE FELLOW ARTISTS.
SPEER, YOU AND I...
( door opening )
THEN, WE HAD A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF EACH OTHER.
PUT IT ON THE TABLE.
THAT'LL BE ALL.
( door closing )
TODAY IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY, CORRECT ?
YES.
I UNDERSTAND YOU ASKED FOR MY PHOTOGRAPH ?
YES, MY FUHRER.
. I WILL TREASURE IT FOREVER
GOOD.
I'VE SIGNED IT TO YOU, PERSONALLY.
MY HAND SHAKES. YOU KNOW,
( chuckling )
MY HAND SHAKES.
BUT I'VE SIGNED IT, TO YOU.
I HOPE YOU CAN READ IT.
MAY I READ IT NOW ?
I AM GRATEFUL FOR THIS
PLEDGE OF OUR ENDURING FRIENDSHIP.
SPEER,
YOU'LL NOW INFORM EVERY OFFICIAL OF EVERY TOWN.
I WANT EVERY GAULEITER TO KNOW
THAT THERE MUST BE TOTAL DESTRUCTION.
I'VE GIVEN YOU COMPLETE AUTHORITY OVER EVERY ONE OF THEM.
THEY MUST ALL COMPLY WITHOUT QUESTION.
( breathing heavily )
IN THOSE AREAS WHERE THE ENEMY IS NOW APPROACHING,
THERE WILL BE TOTAL DESTRUCTION.
IS THAT UNDERSTOOD ?
( sighing )
I KEEP THINKING--
IF THE WAR IS LOST,
THE PEOPLE OF GERMANY WILL BE LOST ALSO !
HOW DARE YOU SIT DOWN IN MY PRESENCE !
STAND UP !
THE PEOPLE OF GERMANY WILL BE LOST ALSO.
THEY WILL NOT NEED TO THINK ABOUT SURVIVAL.
WE SHALL DESTROY EVERYTHING.
YOU'LL INSTRUCT THEM.
SPEER, YOU'LL INSTRUCT ALL THE OFFICIALS
OF ALL THE TOWNS, EVERY GAULEITER,
TOTAL DESTRUCTION.
YOU WILL ORDER THEM. IS THAT UNDERSTOOD ?
YOU WILL ORDER THEM.
( breathing heavily )
TOTAL DESTRUCTION.
YOU'LL ANSWER ME, PLEASE.
IS THAT UNDERSTOOD ?
( cutlery rattling )
DID YOU SEND IN THE SUGAR ?
YES, MISS, WITH THE TEA.
HERE, YOU. TAKE THIS IN.
IF THEY WANT TEA CAKES THIS AFTERNOON, TELL THEM WE HAVE THOSE, TOO.
DON'T BURN IT.
DO YOU WANT SOME COFFEE ?
NO. NOTHING. THANKS.
HAVE YOU SEEN HIM ?
WHO ?
OUR FUHRER.
I SPOKE WITH HIM YESTERDAY.
HIS EYES, FRANZ,
SO CLEAR AND STRONG LIKE ALWAYS.
THE MAN IS A GOD, FRANZ.
AND I WILL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, HE WILL NOT DIE.
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, ADOLF HITLER WILL NEVER DIE.
( bombs exploding )
MMM, THAT'S GOOD.
HOW DID YOU GET IT ?
( chuckling )
I'VE TRAVELED OVER 900 MILES THESE PAST 3 DAYS.
I'VE BEEN TO BOTH FRONTS AND I HAVE MY SOURCES.
? YOU'RE SURE YOU WON'T JOIN ME
NO, THANK YOU.
I'M A PRISONER HER E IN THIS OFFICE, THESE 4 WALLS.
I EVEN SLEEP HERE SOMETIMES.
. I ENVY YOU, ALBERT
YOU SHOULDN'T.
( explosions continue )
WELL, WHAT HAPPENS NOW ?
NOTHING.
WHAT DOES "NOTHING" MEAN EXACTLY ?
NO MORE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS.
I THINK
I WAS CAPABLE OF ONLY ONE.
I SEE.
( missile whistling ) YOU RISE WITH HITLER AND YOU WILL FALL WITH HITLER.
( explosion )
( glass shattering )
( officers exclaiming )
ALL OF US.
I DON'T THINK THE FATE OF GERMANY CAN BE SEVERED FROM THAT
OF ADOLF HITLER.
? AND YOU INTEND TO CARRY OU T HIS ORDERS OF DESTRUCTION
NO. I WILL WARN THE GAULEITERS
THAT IF THEY ATTEMPT TO BURN DOWN THEIR TOWNS AND VILLAGES,
( explosions continue )
THE PEOPLE WILL RISE UP
AND BURN THEM.
IF BORMANN HAS HIS WAY,
HE'LL HAVE YOU HANGING FROM THE FIRST MEAT HOOK.
I CAN HANDLE BORMANN.
AND I CAN COUNT A HELL OF A LOT OF CORPSES WHO SAID THAT ONCE.
I'M SORRY, SIR. THE FUHRERIS IN CONFERENCE AT THE MOMENT.
BUT COL. VON BELOW HAS ASKED TO SEE YOU WHILE YOU'RE WAITING.
THANKS MAJ. GUENTER.
OH, HE'S IN THE CHANCELLERY DINING ROOM.
( siren wailing )
COLONEL.
SO, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ?
ABOUT WHAT ?
. WELL, I THOUGHT YOU WOULD'VE HEARD
BORMANN HAS BEEN PLACED IN CHARGE OF THE GAULEITERS.
HUH.
HE TOLD HITLER THAT YOU DELIBERATELY DISOBEYED HIS ORDERS.
BORMANN'S QUITE CORRECT.
BUT IF HE CONTROLS THE TOWN OFFICIALS--
HE DOESN'T CONTROL ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT BUNKER.
I'M THE ONE WHO GOES TO SEE THEM,
WHO LISTENS TO THEIR COMPLAINTS.
I'M THE ONE THEY TRUST AND THEY'LL GO ON TRUSTING ME.
MAY I ?
( cutlery rattling )
( bomb exploding )
WELL,
I HATE TO MENTION THIS , BUT WHAT IF YOU'RE NO LONGER ALIVE ?
THAT IS A POINT.
DO YOU REALLY THINK HITLER WON'T TOUCH YOU ?
I'M GOING TO FIND THAT OUT VERY SOON.
. OH, GOD, IT'S ALL SOBER NOW
I COME FROM AN ANCIENT , HONORABLE FAMILY.
I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW I EVER GOT HERE.
HITLER, BORMANN,
GOEBBELS,
AND THE MASTER OF THE IMPERIAL NEEDLE , DR. MORELL.
I'M TOLD HIS INJECTION S CONTAIN PULVERIZED BULL'S TESTICLES.
EVERYDAY AT 4:00 HE SITS WITH HIS SECRETARIES
AT TEA AND CRUMPETS.
IT'S TRUE. I'M QUITE SERIOUS.
EXCUSE ME, SIR. YOU'RE REQUESTED TO JOIN THE SITUATION CONFERENCE.
THANK YOU. I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
THE HITLER COURT.
YOU KNOW,
I KEEP THINKING ABOUT THE ROMAN COURT.
IN THE WRITINGS OF JUVENAL, HE SAID,
"YESTERDAY THEY WERE RUFFIANS, TODAY THEY CONTROL OUR LIVES,
TOMORROW THEY WILL WIND UP AS KEEPERS OF THE PUBLIC LAVATORIES."
( General ) THEY'VE CROSSED THE RHINE AT 3 JUNCTURES,
INCLUDING OPPENHEIM.
GEN. PATTON, 3RD DIVISION.
OPPENHEIM ?
) ( clearing throat
WHAT UNITS...
) ( clearing throat
WHAT UNITS ARE MEETING THEM ?
UH, WELL, WE HAVE NOTHING IN THE VICINITY AT THE MOMENT,
BUT THERE ARE 5 TANK DESTROYERS FROM THE CAMP AT SIEGEN.
THEY'RE ON THE MOVE NOW.
SPEER ?
YES.
( Hitler ) YOU'VE HEARD THE AMERICANS ADVANCED INTO THE RUHR.
IF THE RUHR IS TAKEN,
HOW WOULD IT AFFECT OUR OVERALL PRODUCTION ?
( Speer ) WHATEVER REMAINED OF OUR ARMAMENT PRODUCTION
WOULD SCARCELY MAINTAIN OUR FORCES IN THE FIELD FOR...
THE THIRD REICH IS ABOUT TO COLLAPSE.
LOSING THE RUHR WOULD ONLY HASTEN THE INEVITABLE.
AHEM.
I WANT ALL INHABITANTS OF THE RUHR
TO BE EVACUATED STARTING TOMORROW.
MY FUHRER. TOMORROW, THAT'S ALL.
. UH, ONE MOMENT
ISSUE THE ORDER.
( officer ) IT'S A STAGGERING OPERATION.
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE UNDER BATTLEFIELD CONDITIONS ?
THERE WILL BE COUNTLESS CIVILIAN CASUALTIES.
I'M SUPPOSED TO GO IN THERE ?
IF YOU WOULD.
( whimpering )
( Hitler ) WHAT DO YOU THINK, SPEER ?
. THE LITTLE BITCH HAS DONE VERY WELL
SHE HAS.
BORMANN IS NOW IN CHARGE OF THE GAULEITERS.
? DID YOU KNOW THAT
SO I'VE BEEN TOLD.
DO YOU KNOW THE REASON WHY ?
YES.
( Blondie whining )
YOU HAVE NO FAITH, SPEER.
YOU HAVE NO FAITH IN THE GERMAN PEOPLE.
BUT WE HAVE SURVIVED.
WE HAVE SURVIVED THE ROMANS.
WE'VE SURVIVED THE GREAT BATTLES OF THE MIDDLE AGES.
WE'VE SURVIVED THE WARS OF RELIGION, THE 30 YEARS WAR,
. THE NAPOLEONIC WAR
WE EVEN SURVIVED THE GREAT WAR ITSELF.
AND YOU...
YOU TELL ME THAT GERMANY WILL NO LONGER EXIST.
IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK ?
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A WAR SUCH AS THIS ONE.
( exclaiming )
THAT IS EXACTLY WHY I PURSUE MY GOAL
. WITH SUCH, YES, FANATICISM
ALL RIGHT, BATTLES ARE WON , BATTLES ARE LOST,
IT IS ESSENTIAL THEN NEVER TO LOSE ONE'S NERVE.
BUT WE MUST BE ABL E TO ACCEPT DEFEAT.
GOD, DEFEAT. THE DEFEAT AFTER DEFEAT,
KNOWING WE SHALL EMERGE VICTORIOUS IN THE END.
ALL RIGHT.
NOW, YOU DISOBEYED MY ORDERS.
ARE YOU AWARE OF WHAT MUST COME FROM THAT ?
IS THERE ANY REASON I SHOULD NOT TAKE THE MEASURES
? CALLED FOR IN SUCH A CASE
I ASK YOU NOT TO GRANT ME ANY SPECIAL CONSIDERATION.
( breathing heavily )
YEAH.
R I THINK IT IS CLEA
THAT MY ARCHITECT IS OVERWORKED.
I'LL SEE TO IT THAT YOU GO ON LEAVE AT ONCE.
I'M IN PERFECT HEATH.
IF YOU NO LONGER WANT ME TO CONTINUE AS YOUR MINISTER,
THEN DISMISS ME RIGHT NOW.
SPEER.
YOU MUST CONVINCE YOURSELF THAT THE WAR IS NOT LOST.
GIVE ME YOUR ASSURANCE
AND YOU MAY CONTINUE AS YOU HAVE BEEN.
MY FUHRER,
THE WAR IS LOST.
THE WAR IS NOT LOST !
THE WAR WILL NEVER BE LOST !
WE WILL DEFEAT THEM ! WE WILL DEFEAT THEM ALL !
! I WILL DESTROY BOLSHEVISM
I WILL WIPE OUT THE SCOURG E AND PESTILENCE
OF JEWISH MARTYRDOM.
( exhaling )
. I WILL DEFEAT THEM ALL
I WILL DEFY THE ENTIRE WORLD.
YOU HEAR ME ?
( panting )
SPEER.
SPEER, YOU HAVE FAITH IN ME.
IF YOU SAY YOU HAVE FAITH IN ME,
THEN YOU MAY CONTINUE.
I WISH I COULD BELIEVE IN VICTORY AS YOU DO,
BUT I DON'T.
AND I REFUSE TO JOIN THOSE SWINE IN YOUR ENTOURAGE
WHO TELL YOU THEY BELIEVE IN VICTORY,
. WHEN REALLY THEY DON'T
THEN I WILL ASK YOU THIS.
DO YOU STILL HOPE FOR A SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION ?
IF YOU COULD AT LEAST HOPE THAT THE WAR IS NOT LOST.
SURELY YOU MUST BE--
YOU MUST BE ABLE TO HOPE.
SPEER.
THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH TO SATISFY ME.
YOU HAVE 24 HOURS TO THINK OVER YOUR ANSWER.
( people laughing )
( piano playing )
( Speer ) MONEY IS NO PROBLEM.
- I MEAN, IT'S AN ARCHITECT'S DREAM-
THE FUHRERHAS JUST ARRIVED. DO YOU WANT--
( all ) HEILHITLER. HEILHITLER.
MY FUHRER.
SPEER.
( Hitler ) MAGNIFICENT, SPEER.
TRULY WORTHY OF, UH, THE THIRD REICH. SPLENDID.
I'M AFRAID THOUGH, MY FUHRER, THE LITTLE VILLAGE OF LINZ
WILL NO LONGER BE A VILLAGE.
SPLENDID.
GOOD. I WANT CONSTRUCTION TO START AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
. PERHAPS, WE SHOULD LOOK OVER THE COST ESTIMATES
WHY ?
WHY ? I KNOW IT'S GOING TO COST A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY AND THAT'S GOOD.
NOTHING IMPRESSES THE AMERICANS MORE THAN MONEY, SPEER.
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT. IT'S WONDERFUL.
( knocking on door )
( Hitler ) YES.
WHAT IS IT ?
( whispering )
OH.
( speaking German )
YES, WELL DONE, SPEER. WELL DONE.
MY GOOD ARCHITECT.
MY GENIUS ARCHITECT, RATHER.

( ambulance siren wailing )
NO, I DON'T BELIEVE IT. YOU'RE STILL ALIVE.
I TOLD HIM THE WAR IS LOST.
AND HE DIDN'T ARREST YOU ?
HE GAVE ME 24 HOUR S TO CHANGE MY MIND.
AND WILL YOU ?
BLONDIE HAD PUPPIES.
( laughing )
HOW WONDERFUL !
SEND A MESSAGE TO THE TROOPS:
"FIGHT TO THE FINISH. BLONDIE HAD PUPPIES."
YOU KNOW,
I THINK THE MAN IS ACTUALLY FOND OF ME.
HE'LL STILL HAVE YOU KILLED.
. NO
WHY NOT ?
BECAUSE I'M GOING TO TELL HIM THAT I SUPPORT HIM WITH ALL MY HEART.
? INCLUDING HIS POLICY OF DESTRUCTION
YES.
BUT THERE WILL BE COMPLICATIONS.
INTOLERABLE DELAYS, BUREAUCRACY AT ITS WORST.
I DOUBT THAT WE'LL EVEN GET IT WORKING,
BEFORE GERMANY IS TOTALLY DEFEATED.
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO ?
DECEIVE THE GREATEST MASTER OF DECEIT OF THIS CENTURY.
HE'LL BELIEVE ME.
WHY ?
BECAUSE HE WANTS TO.
I NEVER DOUBTED IT.
I KNEW I COULD RELY ON YOU.
I KNEW IT.
THANK YOU, SPEER. THANK YOU.
( bombs exploding )
THE FUHRERTAKES GREAT PRIDE IN THE YOUTH OF GERMANY.
YOU WILL SERVE YOUR COUNTR Y AND YOU WILL SERVE YOUR FUHRER.
HEILHITLER.
( all ) HEILHITLER.
GET ON THE TRUCKS.
HOW LONG TILL THEY REACH THE FRONT ?
TOMORROW MORNING.
IT'S NOT THAT FAR.
( truck engines starting )
( officers laughing )
( officer ) WAGNER !
( officers chattering )
WHAT'S GOING ON ? WHAT HAPPENED ?
ROOSEVELT DIED THIS MORNING.
I TELL YOU IT'S A GIFT FROM GOD.
FATE HAS NOW REMOVED THE GREATEST WAR CRIMINAL IN HISTORY.
THE JEW-LOVER FINALLY DIES.
THIS IS THE TURNING POINT.
THIS IS THE TURN OF FORTUNE WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.
( sighing )
THERE.
T FREDERICK THE GREA
IN HIS WORST DAYS.
ALMOST FINISHED, ALMOST DEFEATED.
AND THEN, A TURN OF FORTUNE.
HE EMERGED VICTORIOUS.
YOU REMEMBER THE DAY YOU BECAME OUR LEADER ?
THE HOROSCOPE GIVEN TO YOU BY HIMMLER ?
THE PREDICTION OF WAR, A SERIES OF SETBACKS,
AND THEN OVERWHELMING VICTORY.
THIS EVENING I BROADCAST THE PREDICTION TO THE PEOPLE.
LET THEM KNOW.
LET THE WORLD KNOW THAT MIRACLE WILL NOW COME TO BE.
WHAT IS IT, BORMANN ?
DISPATCH FROM GEN. ZEIDLER.
VIENNA HAS FALLEN.
( Blondie panting )
MISCH.
WHAT IS IT ? SHE'S HERE.
WHO ?
EVA BRAUN.
( Eva ) OH, UH, JUST LEAVE IT THERE, PLEASE.
THANK YOU.
( Mrs. Junge sighing )
OH, HOW BEAUTIFUL !
ISN'T IT ?
I HAVE SUCH A WEAKNESS FOR BEAUTIFUL CLOTHES.
AH, THAT IS BECAUSE YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL IN THEM.
YOU'RE TOO KIND. BUT IT ISN'T TRUE.
NO MATTER WHAT I WEAR, I ALWAYS LOOK THE PEASANT. ALWAYS.
BUT THEN I DON'T COMPLAIN, YOU SEE.
I THINK HE LIKES M E THE BETTER FOR IT.
YES, I WILL, GENERAL. I WILL TELL HIM.
. YES, SIR YES, I WILL CONVEY
THE FUHRERWISHES ME TO EXPRESS
HIS APPRECIATION FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY GREETINGS.
NO, NO, THE RUM.
I TOLD YOU THE RUM GOES IN FIRST.
WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THOSE BIRTHDAY CANDLES, FRANZ ?
WELL, THEY WERE... NEVER MIND I HAVE THEM.
FUHRER'SBIRTHDAY IN THIS PLACE.
HOW DID WE EVER COME TO THIS ?
( people chattering )
( music playing )
GOOD.
HOW DID WE EVER COME TO THIS PLACE ?
( cutlery rattling )
? WHAT ? DID YOU SAY SOMETHING
WELCOME TO BERLIN, REICH FUHRERHIMMLER.
REICHS MARSHALL GOERIN G ARRIVED ONLY A FEW MOMENTS AGO.
( bombs exploding )
( music playing )
( Speer ) VON BELOW,
EATING BEFORE THE FUHRERARRIVES. SHAME ON YOU.
CAREFUL. LOOK IN BOTH DIRECTIONS.
WE'RE SURROUNDED BY ASSASSINS.
HIMMLER AND HIS BUNKER INFORMANT.
GOERING AND HIS LOYAL GUT.
SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, I INTEND TO OUTLIVE THE THIRD REICH.
THEN WHY DO YOU KEEP COMING BACK ?
I'M SENTIMENTAL ABOUT BIRTHDAYS.
WHAT DOES DR. MORELL SAY ?
NOTHING. HE TELLS US NOTHING.
AS YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF,
EVER SINCE THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT AT RASTENBURG,
, THE BOMB CAME SO CLOSE
HITLER HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME.
FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, FEGELEIN, FROM ALL SOURCES,
I DON'T THINK WE CAN DEPEND ON HIM MUCH LONGER.
WILL HE MAKE I T ALL RIGHT ?
YOU HAVE MY PROMISE. HE'LL BE THERE.
THE LUFTWAFFECAN'T FLY WITHOUT PETROL, SPEER.
( chuckling )
I THINK THAT'S QUITE OBVIOUS.
WHAT'S EQUALLY OBVIOUS IS THAT THE RUHR
IS NOW CUT OFF FROM THE REST OF GERMANY.
THERE ARE NO FUEL SUPPLIES REACHING ANY OF THE MAJOR CITIES,
INCLUDING BERLIN.
WHAT WE HAVE IN STORAGE I'VE ALLOCATED TO THE HOSPITALS.
? THE HOSPITALS
YES.
THOSE ARE HITLER'S ORDERS ? NO.
- YOU'VE TAKEN I T UPON YOURSELF-
I'VE BEEN TAKING QUITE A LOT UPON MYSELF, THESE DAYS. HAVEN'T WE ALL ?
THE TIME HAS COME, NOW,
TO NEGOTIATE PEACE.
YOU MEAN WITHOUT HITLER ?
I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH COUNT BERNADOTTE OF SWEDEN.
BERNADOTTE ? DOES HE HAVE THE AUTHORITY ?
HE HAS THE CONTACTS, FEGELEIN.
BUT HE'S A VERY SIMPLE MAN.
HE HAS NO UNDERSTANDING OF THE JEWISH PROBLEM, FOR INSTANCE.
HE WANTS HIS COUNTRYMEN RETURNED FROM THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS.
CAN'T THAT BE ARRANGED ?
I'VE AGREED TO RELEASE 1,000 JEWISH WOMEN.
IF THEY CAN BE DESIGNATED POLISH INSTEAD OF JEWISH.
I MUST BE CAUTIOUS.
YES, KEEP IN CONTACT AS LONG AS YOU CAN. THANK YOU.
( officer ) YES, COLONEL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THE SOVIETS ARE STORMING RUDERSDORF,
ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BERLIN.
( bombs exploding )
FRIENDS,
LOYAL FRIENDS,
, I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT WA S FOR YOU TO COME HERE TODAY
BELIEVE ME,
YOUR DEVOTION TOUCHES MY HEART.
THERE HAVE BEEN QUESTIONS, I KNOW, ABOUT MY HEALTH.
WELL, YOU SEE ME NOW.
IT IS TRUE THERE IS A CERTAIN...
I HAVE A CERTAIN TREMBLING IN MY ARM AND MY LEGS,
BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU, GOOD FRIENDS,
THE TREMBLING HAS NOT REACHED MY HEAD OR MY HEART. NO.
. MY HEART WILL NEVER TREMBLE
NEVER.
AND IN THE WEEKS TO COME,
WE WILL DRIVE THE ENEM Y FROM OUR COUNTRY,
, AND WE HAVE THE GREATEST WEAPON OF ALL
THE TEUTONIC FURY OF THE GERMAN PEOPLE.
WE WILL NOT BE DEFEATED. WE WILL FIGHT THEM TO THE LAST SOLDIER,
TO THE LAST TANK, TO THE LAST AIRCRAFT THEY POSSESS.
WE SHALL NOT BE DEFEATED.
THANK YOU. LONG LIVE GERMANY.
( all speaking German )
( music playing )
( people chattering )
WHAT IS IT ?
TELL ME, WHAT IS IT ?
THE RUSSIANS HAVE JUST ENTERED
THE BORDERS OF COPENIK AND SPANDAU.
I REGRET TO SAY THAT BERLIN IS NOW CLOSED ON 3 SIDES.
( sighing )

GEN. STEINER.
ORDER GEN. STEINER'S PANZERCORPS TO COUNTERATTACK AT ONCE.
HE HAS FEWER THAN 11,000 MEN.
L I WANT ALL THE AIR FORCE PERSONNE
PLACED AT THE DISPOSAL OF GEN. STEINER.
IF ANY COMMANDER HOLDS BACK HIS FORCES,
HE WILL FORFEIT HIS LIFE IN 5 HOURS. TELL GEN. KOLLER
THAT HE WILL GUARANTEE WITH HIS HEAD
THAT THE LAST MAN WILL BE THROWN IN.
IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
? HOW CAN STEINE R COUNTERATTACK
. HE'S HAVING ENOUGH TROUBLE RETREATING
YOU KNOW, I KNOW THERE'LL BE NO COUNTERATTACK.
WITH OR WITHOUT ORDERS IT WILL NEVER BE ATTEMPTED.
BUT HOW CAN ONE POSSIBLY...
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BREAKTHROUGH ?
. IT WAS THE 56TH PANZER
. THEY COULDN'T HOLD THEM BACK
GEN. WEILDING.
ISSUE AN ORDER FOR HIS IMMEDIATE ARREST AND EXECUTION.
FUHRER !
ALL OFFICERS WHO DO NO T PRESS THE ATTACK
WILL CARRY A SIGN STATING, "I AM A DESERTER
" AND I DECLINED TO DEFEND GERMAN WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
YOU WILL THEN HANG THE M FROM THE NEAREST TREE.
( camera clicking )
GOOD SOLDIER, GENERAL.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME ?
KRUGER.
WILHELM KRUGER , MY FUHRER.
KRUGER.
YES.
I WISH MY GENERALS HAD YOUR COURAGE.
THANK YOU, MY FUHRER.
GOOD BOY, YES.
JOSEPH ? CAN YOU HEAR ME ?
I CAN HEAR YOU, MAGDA.
WHAT IS IT NOW, JOSEPH ?
I CAME IN FROM THE GARDEN, WHAT DO YOU WANT ?
I TOLD YOU I'D LET YOU KNO W WHEN I FELT THE TIME HAD COME.
Magda, did you hear me ?
YES.
YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED YOUR MIND ?
I'LL PACK UP AND LEAVE IN THE MORNING.
. I meant about the children
NO.
HAVE YOU DECIDED WHAT TO TELL THEM ?
THAT THEY ARE GOING TO VISIT THE FUHRER.
THEY ADORE HIM. YOU KNOW THAT ?
WELL, UNTIL TOMORROW THEN.
UNTIL TOMORROW.
( dog barking )
( children chattering )
FROM THE NORTH AT EBERSWALDE,
FROM THE SOUTH AT FELSTEHAUSEN.
THE RUSSIANS ARE ADVANCING AT EVERY DEFENSIVE STRONGHOLD...
MY FUHRER,
I THINK IT WOULD BE MOST PRUDENT NOW IF WE, UH, TRANSFERRED.
IF WE MOVED, ALL OF US TO BERCHTESGADEN.
NO.
WE HAVE AIRCRAFT STANDING BY.
. NO, WE'LL STAY HERE IN BERLIN
YES, MY FUHRER.
PERHAPS...
YES.
PERHAPS SOME OTHER MEMBERS OF THE STAFF CAN BE TRANSFERRED.
NO, NO, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. I CAN'T LEAVE RIGHT NOW.
BUT LISTEN CAREFULLY,
I FOUND A WONDERFUL PLACE FOR YOU AND THE CHILDREN.
I'M SENDING OFF WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS.
YOU'LL BE POSING AS A DIRECTOR OF CHILDREN SEEKING REFUGE.
I'VE TAKEN 6 CHILDREN FROM A PARTY KINDERGARTEN
TO MAKE THE GROUP LOOK ENTIRELY PLAUSIBLE.
NO, NO, I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'LL SEE YOU.
HE'S DETERMINED TO STAY HERE AND TAKE OVER THE DEFENSE OF THE CITY.
HMM. I--I WILL.
HMM ? I-- HAVE COURAGE.
TAKE CARE OF THE CHILDREN.
I JUST CAME TO SAY GOODBYE.
YOU ?
YOU'RE LEAVING, TOO ?
DON'T ASK ME WHY.
PERHAPS THE FUHRER JUST DOESN'T CARE ANYMORE.
DR. HAASE IS TAKING MY PLACE.
I'M GRATEFUL TO BE LEAVING.
WHAT A PITY THAT YOU CAN'T COME WITH ME.
( laughing )
( door opening )
FUHRER.2 OF THE SECRETARIES WISH TO SPEAK WITH YOU.
THEY'RE WAITING.
WE HAVE A REQUEST, MY FUHRER.
WE ASK TO BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN HERE WITH YOU.
THANK YOU, MY FUHRER.

( Hitler chattering )
( Ribald ) GOODBYE, JOHANNES.
OH, YES, GOODBYE, RIBBALD. DO BE CAREFUL.
GOODBYE, SERGEANT.
I'M ON MY WAY.
. YES, GOOD LUCK
HOW LONG WILL YOU STAY ?
AS LONG AS I'M ASSIGNED HERE.
TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I'M GLAD TO BE GETTING OUT.
YES, BUT YOU HAVEN'T THE SAME LOYALTY AS MYSELF
BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW THE FUHRERAS I DO.
, BEING A MEMBER OF HIS PERSONAL STAFF
, HIS CHIEF VALET, AND BEING A HIGHLY DECORATED SOLDIER
I CONSIDER MY POSITION HER E TO BE A GREAT HONOR.
WELL, WHATEVER HAPPENS, I WISH YOU WELL, ROCHUS.
YES. GODSPEED.
YOU GETTING A NEW ASSISTANT ?
NO, 24-HOUR DUTY.
MMM-HMM.
ME, TOO.

LIARS, TELL US . LIES ! LIES !
YOU ! YOU HAVE BETRAYED ME !
NO, FUHRER.
WHERE'S GEN. STEINER ? WHERE'S GEN. STEINER ?
BRING ME GEN. STEINER, HERE AT ONCE.
WE'VE TRIED TO CONTACT HIM . BUT WE THINK HE'S BEEN CAPTURED.
WHERE'S THE AIR FORCE ?
THE AIRFIELDS ARE COMPLETELY COVERED NOW BY ENEMY FIGHTERS.
WE CAN'T AFFORD--
DO YOU HEAR THAT ? DO YOU HEAR THAT ?
THE AIR FORCE IS SUPERFLUOUS. WHAT DO WE NEED THEM FOR ?
STRING THEM UP AT ONCE . STRING THEM UP.
LIARS, TRAITORS, CUT-UPS AND ALL OF YOU . LISTEN TO ME.
WE THINK IT IS VITAL THAT YOU LEAVE THE BUNKER IMMEDIATELY.
WHY ?
IF YOU'RE TO REMAIN IN COMMAND OF THE REICH,
THEN YOU MUST GO TO BERCHTESGADEN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
I WILL NOT GO TO BERCHTESGADEN !
YOU AND ALL OF YOUR INCOMPETENTS CAN GO TO HELL !
! I WILL STAY IN BERLIN
DO YOU HEAR ME ? I WILL STAY IN BERLIN.
THE ARMY HAS BETRAYED ME.
. I WILL FIGHT IN BERLIN
MY ORDERS WERE NOT CARRIED OUT.
I WILL FIGHT TO MY LAST BREATH.
I WILL DIE IN BERLIN.
. THE THIRD REICH HAS TOTALLY FAILED

I'LL DIE IN BERLIN.
I'VE BEEN BETRAYED.
THE WAR IS LOST.
THE WAR IS...
( Hitler breathing heavily )
? EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU HENTSCHEL
YES.
I'M DR. HAASE.
WE'VE MET AT THE BERCHTESGADEN, I BELIEVE.
I NEED YOUR HELP.
MY HELP ?
WE'VE TAKEN A NUMBER OF WOUNDED INTO THE CHANCELLERY
AND SET UP AN EMERGENCY CASUALTY STATION.
BUT THERE ISN'T ENOUGH WATER TO GO AROUND.
I UNDERSTAND THE WATER SUPPLY COMES
FROM AN UNDERGROUND SPRING HERE IN THE BUNKER.
THAT'S RIGHT.
? COULD YOU POSSIBLY DIVERT SOME OF IT
WELL, I COULD SET UP SOME MAKESHIFT HOSES.
THANK YOU.
HAS THIS BEEN CLEARED WITH BORMANN ?
IT'S BEEN CLEARED WITH GOD.
( soldiers groaning )
( soldier ) NURSE !
( nurse ) CAN YOU TAKE SOME WATER. HELP HIM, WILL YOU ?
( soldiers coughing )
( Dr. Schenck ) EASY, NOW.
ALL RIGHT, NOW.
YOU'RE GETTING YOUR WATER.
DR. SCHENCK.
DID YOU TALK TO HITLER ?
NO.
WELL, HIS CONDITION IS GETTING WORSE.
) ( moaning
THERE, NOW.
GET HIM MORPHINE, IMMEDIATELY.
( patient ) OH, NO !
THE RUMORS YOU HEAR ARE QUITE CORRECT.
THINK THE FUHRER HAS LONG TO LIVE ?
AT THIS POINT,
I THINK THE QUESTION IS ACADEMIC.
( Fegelein ) ♪ I'LL DIE FOR YOU ♪
♪ I'LL DIE FOR YOU ♪♪
HEY, YOU. MY SWEETHEART !
DON'T YOU WANNA GO AWAY, TOO ?
HEY ! HEY ! DON'T YOU WANT TO ?
NO, OF COURSE NOT. OF COURSE NOT.
WHAT IS IT THEY SAY NOW ?
I'D RATHER HAVE A RUSSIAN SOLDIER ON MY BELLY
THAN A BRITISH BOMB ON MY HEAD, EH ?
( laughing )
( Fegelein singing )
( motor whirring )
WHAT IS IT ?
WHAT HAPPENED TO COL. FEGELEIN ?
HE'S DRUNK.
I CAN SEE THAT HE'S DRUNK.
WHY HAVE THEY BROUGHT HIM IN ?
HE'S BEEN ABSENT FOR 3 DAYS. I PUT THE CALL THROUGH MYSELF
TO HIS BERLIN APARTMENT, THEY JUST PICKED HIM UP.
WHAT WILL THEY DO TO HIM ?
NOT MUCH.
WELL, FOR DESERTION ?
HE'S, UH, MARRIED TO EVA BRAUN'S SISTER.
( Bormann ) HOW LONG WERE YOU THER E IN THE APARTMENT ?
( laughing )
WHERE IS THE WOMAN ?
ANSWER ME.
HMM, PEARLS.
. JEWELS
TELL ME, GENERAL.
YOU WERE NOT BY ANY CHANCE ON YOUR WAY
OUT OF BERLIN WHEN WE FOUND YOU, HMM ?
I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY.
WAS HE ALONE ?
NO, HE HAD A WOMAN WITH HIM.
SHE GOT AWAY.
THERE WAS A WOMAN WITH HIM ?
SHE MAY HAVE BEEN A SPY.
TOGETHER, THEY MAY HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE LEAKS TO THE ENEMY LATELY.
HE HAD A WOMAN WITH HIM ? FEGELEIN ?
HE WAS OBVIOUSLY ABOUT TO LEAVE BERLIN.
OH, NO.
I THINK IT'S A CASE OF DESERTION.
INTERROGATE HI M FURTHER.
FOR WHAT PURPOSE ?
WELL, DO YOU HEAR ME ?
YES, MY FUHRER.AND THEN ?
RELEASE HIM.
RELEASE HIM ?
HE'S HIMMLER'S LIAISON MAN.
I THINK WE MUST DEFER TO THAT.
THERE'S NO PROOF, ANYWAY.
HIS--HIS WIFE IS HAVING A BABY.
FEGELEIN'S WIFE IS HAVING A BABY.
HAVING A BABY ?
EVA TOLD ME YESTERDAY.
HIS WIFE WOULD BE VERY UPSET
IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO HIM.
THERE IS AN URGENT COMMUNICATION.
I'VE BEEN ASKE D BY GEN. MOHNKE
TO GIVE IT TO YOU IMMEDIATELY.
( grunting )
( coughing )
TREACHERY!
HAVE YOU HEARD ?
WE JUST HEARD IT ON SHORT WAVE.
HEARD WHAT ?
HIMMLER HAS BEEN NEGOTIATING FOR A PEACE SETTLEMENT.
HE'S OFFERED TO SURRENDER THE WESTERN ARMIES TO EISENHOWER.
! MY GOD, THE SWINE
THE STINKING SWINE !
MY FUHRER,I BEG YOU,
WE CAN'T ALLOW A TRAITOR TO SUCCEED YOU.
WE'VE GOT TO LEAVE FOR BERCHTESGADEN AT ONCE.
WE HAVE AIRCRAFT STANDING BY.
YOU HAVE ONLY TO GIVE THE WORD.
WHAT SHOULD WE DO WITH GEN. FEGELEIN ?
THE PASSPORTS, THE JEWELS.
HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO JOIN HIMMLER.
SHALL WE KEEP HIM UNDER ARREST ?
NO.
BUT HE WILL TAKE OFF IMMEDIATELY.
HE'LL LEAVE BERLIN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
GEN. FEGELEIN
IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
( grunting )
( groaning )
"THE WOLF SAID, 'MY FRIENDS,
"'IT IS NOT I
"'WHO KILLED THE LAMB.
"'IT'S HIM.
"HE SAID, 'HE LOOKED LIKE ME.'"

( echoing ) HEY !
( Guenter ) SIR !
MAJ. GUENTER.
. BORMANN WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU IMMEDIATELY
WHERE IS EVERYBODY ? WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE GUARDS ?
MOST OF THEM ARE OUT FIGHTING FOR THE CITY.
( door opening )
( Bormann ) AH, ALBERT !
ALBERT.
HOW GOOD IT IS OF YOU TO COME HERE.
I WAS DELIGHTED TO HEAR YOU WERE COMIN G TO SEE THE FUHRER.
I'VE ONLY COME TO SAY GOODBYE.
EXACTLY.
, IT'S A QUESTION OF LEAVING
. OF GETTING OUT OF BERLIN AND GOING TO BERCHTESGADEN
THE FUHRERVALUES YOUR OPINION, ALBERT.
YOU MUST TRY TO CONVINCE HIM TO GO.
WE HAVE SUCH LITTLE TIME LEFT.
YOU MUST SPEAK TO HIM.
HE WILL LISTEN TO YOU, I'M SURE.
I'M SURE HE WILL.
? WOULD YOU DO THAT
( chuckling )
, IF THERE'S ONE MAN LEFT IN THE REICH I KNOW THAT I CAN COUNT ON
IT IS YOU, ALBERT.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
( Hitler snoring )
SPEER ?
? WHAT DO YOU THINK
LINZ.
WE COULD HAVE MADE IT
THE CAPITAL OF OUR NATIONAL SOCIALIST PARTY.
LINZ.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GERMAN BUDAPEST.
LINZ, THE PLACE OF MY YOUTH.
MANY YEARS AGO.
DO YOU REMEMBER THE GREAT BELL TOWER OF THE MEETING HALL
AND THE CRYPT, THE MARBLE CRYPT FOR MY BURIAL PLACE ?
THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY TO BUILD
A--A NEW METROPOLIS ON THE BANKS OF THE DANUBE.
WHAT DO I CARE FOR MONEY ?
I'VE NEVER ACQUIRED ANYTHING OF VALUE IN MY LIFE.
I HAVE NOTHING.
( snickering )
A NEW GERMANIA !
A NEW CAPITOL FOR THE GERMAN PEOPLE.
HA !
IT'S ALL A DREAM.
I HAVE NOTHING.
WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN,
SPEER.
THEY'RE TRYING TO PERSUADE ME TO FLY TO BERCHTESGADEN.
JODL AND THE OTHERS. HAVE YOU HEARD ?
( Speer ) YES.
I'D LIKE YOUR OPINION, PLEASE.
IT'S MY OPINION THAT THE LEADER OF THE GERMAN PEOPLE
SHOULD REMAIN HERE , IN BERLIN.
HE SHOULD END HIS LIFE
IN THE GERMAN CAPITAL.
NOT IN SOME VACATION CHALET.
YES, MY FRIEND. GOEBBELS AGREES WITH YOU.
I CANNOT, OF COURSE, JOIN IN THE FIGHTING MYSELF,
I MIGHT FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE RUSSIANS, YOU UNDERSTAND ?
I WOULD THEN BE BROUGHT TO MOSCOW, AND THEN CAGED IN A ZOO.
THEY'RE NOT GONNA CAGE ME IN A ZOO.
THEY'RE NOT GONNA MUTILATE MY CORPSE.
NO.
I'VE ISSUED ORDERS
THAT MY BODY BE
CREMATED UPON MY DEATH.
BELIEVE ME SPEER, IT IS EASY FOR ME TO PUT AN END TO MY LIFE.
ONE BRIEF MOMENT.
I...
I'M FREE OF EVERYTHING.
MY FUHRER,
THERE'S SOMETHING I FEEL I MUST TELL YOU
BEFORE WE PART TODAY.
THESE PAST 4 WEEKS,
I'VE DECEIVED YOU.
. I'VE NOT CARRIED OUT YOUR POLICY OF DESTRUCTION
EVA...
WHAT EVA ?
EVA BRAUN.
SHE HAS DECIDED TO END HER LIFE HERE
BY MY SIDE.
MY FUHRER,DID YOU HEAR WHAT I HAD TO SAY TO YOU ?
DON'T LEAVE HERE, SPEER, WILL YOU ?
WITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE TO ME.
( music playing )
( humming )
( knocking on door )
AH, THERE YOU ARE, ALBERT.
I WAS AFRAID YOU WOULD LEAVE WITHOUT SAYING GOODBYE.
I EVEN GAVE ORDERS TO THE S.S. GUARDS,
I TOLD THEM, "YOU'RE NOT TO ALLOW
ALBERT SPEER TO LEAVE UNTIL HE'S SEEN ME."
YOU LOOK LOVELY, JUST THE SAME AS ALWAYS.
WELL, I SEE NO POINT IN GOING AROUND
LOOKING LIKE A DEATH MASK. COME IN.
I HOPE YOU LIKE IT. YOU SHOULD,
SINCE YOU DESIGNED ALL THE FURNITURE YOURSELF.
I KNOW THE ROOM IS A LITTLE SMALL,
BUT I JUST HAD TO HAVE THEM WITH ME.
CHAMPAGNE ?
THANK YOU.
SIT, PLEASE.
MOET-CHANDON. ONLY THE BEST.
I MUST WARN YOU.
EVERYTHING TASTES RATHER DAMP AND MUSTY.
CAN'T BE HELPED.
HEILHITLER.
. OUR FAREWELL DRINK
I'M SO GLAD YOU CAME.
YOU KNOW,
BORMANN THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE WORKING AGAINST THE FUHRER.
BUT YOU COMING HERE NOW PROVES THAT YOU AREN'T, DOESN'T IT ?
ADOLF WANTED ME TO GO TO MUNICH, BUT I REFUSED.
YES, HE TOLD ME THAT YOU...
WELL, I'M REALLY QUITE HAPPY HERE.
I MEAN, IT ISN'T SO TERRIBLE.
IF ONLY, I DIDN'T HAVE TO LOOK
AT BORMANN'S FACE EVERY OTHER MOMENT.
I'VE NEVER LIKED THAT MAN.
IT'S ALL SO TERRIBLE, ALBERT.
WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE KILLED.
AND ALL FOR NOTHING.
AUNT EVA, I'VE LOST CHICHI.
WHO ?
MY DOLL, DID I LEAVE HER HERE?
NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
WHY DON'T YOU GO ASK TRAUDL.
THE GOEBBELS CHILDREN ARE HERE ?
YES, THEY'RE STAYING.
( children chattering )
( child #1 ) GOOD NIGHT.
( child #2 ) GOOD NIGHT.
( child #3 ) GOOD NIGHT.
YOU CAN READ FOR 2 MORE MINUTES.
SWEETHEART, FINISH UP FOR ME, WILL YOU ?
OH, ALBERT, I HEARD YOU MIGHT BE COMING.
IT'S QUITE AN UNUSUAL PLACE, ISN'T IT ?
WELL, THE CHILDREN ARE ADAPTING VERY WELL, I THINK.
HOW'S YOUR FAMILY, ALBERT ?
THEY'RE ALL AT BERCHTESGADEN.
LOOK, MAGDA.
THERE'S STILL ENOUGH TIME.
I...
I CAN ARRANGE FOR BARGES.
BARGES ?
. ON THE HAVEL RIVER
THEY CAN TAKE YOU TO THE ELBE, TO THE AMERICANS.
OH, DON'T YOU KNOW, ALBERT.
WE HAVE NO INTENTION OF LEAVING HERE.
BUT YOU HAVE TO REALIZE, WHEN THE RUSSIANS ARRIVE--
MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE DECIDED TO DIE WITH THE FUHRER.
( children giggling )
I WAS THINKING OF THE CHILDREN.
( Magda ) SO AM I.
OUR LIVES HAVE NO FURTHER MEANING WITHOUT HITLER.
BUT, MAGDA, THE--
THE CHILDREN ARE SO YOUNG AND--
AND FAR TOO GOOD FOR THE KIND OF LIFE THAT WILL COME AFTER US.
OH, DAMN IT, MAGDA !
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF LIFE IS COMING AFTER YOU ?
DON'T BE APPREHENSIVE, ALBERT.
LOOK.
YESTERDAY, THE FUHRERTOOK OFF
HIS GOLDEN PARTY BADGE AND GAVE IT TO ME.
CAN YOU IMAGINE, ALBERT. OH,
WE'RE SO PROUD TO BE ENDING OUR LIVES WITH HIM.
I LOOK UPON IT AS A PRECIOUS GIFT OF FATE.
( door opening )
MOTHER.
EXCUSE ME.
WHAT IS IT, DEAR ? HMM ?
( boy giggling )
( Magda ) OH !
WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?
COME ON. COME ON.
COME ON, SWEETY.
YES.
AND THAT'S ALL ?
YES, OF COURSE, I WILL AT ONCE.

"TO CONDUCT THE AFFAIR S OF THE REICH,
"THEN, I, REICH MARSHALL HERMANN GOERING
INHERIT ALL OF HIS OFFICES."
HE SITS THERE ON THE MOUNTAINTOP IN BERCHTESGADEN
AND TELLS THE WHOLE WORLD, HE'S TAKING COMMAND OF THE THIRD REICH.
WE MUST TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY.
BRUTAL.
HE'S A BRUTAL MAN.
HARD AS IRON.
. RUTHLESS, COLD
) ( sighing
IN A CRISIS, HE'S ICE COLD.
HA !
WHAT ?
HE'S COMMITTED AN ACT OF TREASON.
OH. WE STOOD TOGETHER
YEARS AGO.
GOERING,
( grunting )
DETERMINED, DEADLY.
( sighing )
THE MAN...
WELL, HE'S A DRUG ADDICT, BORMANN.
CORRUPT.
HE'S A DRUG ADDICT. IT IS A WELL KNOWN FACT.
( Bormann ) WHAT DO YOU INTEND TO DO ?
YEAH.
HMM ?
HOW DO YOU INTEND TO DEAL WITH GOERING ?
YEAH, HE MUST RESIGN HIS OFFICE, AT ONCE.
( Bormann ) THE SITUATION DEMANDS MORE THAN A RESIGNATION.
A TELEGRAM TO RIBBENTROP.
IS THERE NO HONOR LEFT ?
WE CAN STILL REACH THE S.S. AT OBERSALZBERG.
. PLACE HIM UNDER ARREST
I'M LEAVING NOW, MY FUHRER.
I WANTED TO SAY GOODBYE.
AND...
( children giggling )
THERE ARE 4 AIRCRAFT, ONE OF THEM IS A JUNKER 390.
IT'S CAPABLE OF FLYING FROM GERMANY TO JAPAN, NONSTOP.
IT'S NO USE, BAUR. HE WON'T LEAVE.
I COULD FLY HIM TO ARGENTINA.
I KNOW OF A PLACE TO REFUEL--
IT'S NO USE.
BORMANN, WHERE IS HE ?
THE FUHRERIS WITH HIS SECRETARIES.
YES, AND EVA.
THEY'RE HAVING AFTERNOON TEA WITH CRUMPETS.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN THEM ?
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE SOME AFTERNOON TEA AND CRUMPETS.
AND DO YOU REMEMBER ?
WE WOULD SIT AROUN D THE FIREPLACE
AND LISTEN TO THE MUSI C OF WAGNER.
YOU COULD SEE THE SNOW FALLING OUTSIDE
AND YOU KNEW THERE WAS NO PLACE ON EARTH AS BEAUTIFUL.
( Eva sighing )
I ALWAYS FELT LIKE A WAGNERIAN GOD THERE.
SO HIGH ABOVE THE CLOUDS.
AND DO YOU REMEMBER THE COOK ?
UH, WILL KANENBERG ?
HE WAS AS BIG AS A HOUSE. HE HAD ENOUGH FOR ALL OF US.
AH, BUT THE SAUSAGES THAT MAN COULD MAKE,
AND THE LITTLE CREAM CAKES.
YOU LOVED THOSE CREAM CAKE S WITH THE CHOCOLATE SAUCE, REMEMBER ?
THE LITTLE CAKES OF BERCHTESGADEN.
THE COOK THAT WAS TRAINED IN VIENNA.
THAT'S TOTAL INCOMPETENCE.
VIENNA SHOULD HAVE BEEN HELD.
THEY LOST THEIR COURAGE.
THEY LOST THEIR FAITH IN THE WILL OF THE ALMIGHTY.
PLEASE. LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT VIENNA.
LET'S THINK ONLY OF BERCHTESGADEN.
HOW LOVELY IT IS IN THE SPRING.
THE FLOWERS. THE VALLEYS TURNING GREEN.
( bombs exploding )
MORE TEA ?
PLEASE, CAN WE TELL THEM ?
LET'S TELL THEM NOW.
THIS EVENING, AS SOON AS THE ARRANGEMENTS CAN BE MADE,
WE ARE GOING TO BE MARRIED.
( Guenter ) WHAT IS YOUR NAME ?
WAGNER. WALTER WAGNER. PARTY MEMBER.
YOU HAVE NOTARY AND REGISTRAR POWER
TO PERFORM A MARRIAGE CEREMONY ?
I HAVE.
STAY HERE. DISMISSED.
HE'LL DO.
. WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT
THE FUHRERIS TALKING TO DR. GOEBBELS.
IT'S ALMOST MIDNIGHT.
WHAT DIFFERENC E DOES IT MAKE ?
: AND LISTEN TO THIS
"BRAVE KING FREDERICK
"WAIT FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THE DAYS
"THAT YOU'RE SUFFERING WILL BE OVER.
"BEHIND THE CLOUDS, THE SUN OF YOUR GOOD FORTUNE IS ALREADY RISING.
SOON, IT WILL SHOW ITSELF TO YOU."
AND IT DID.
HE WAS ON THE POIN T OF PERISHING, AND HE WAS SAVED.
, THE APPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED
THE BANDS EXAMINED AND FOUND TO BE IN ORDER.
DO YOU ATTEST THAT YOU'RE OF PURE ARYAN DESCENT
AND FREE OF HEREDITARY DISEASES ?
YES.
. I ASK YOU, MY LEADER ADOLF HITLER
DO YOU ATTEST THAT YOU'RE OF PURE ARYAN DESCENT
AND FREE OF HEREDITARY DISEASES.
YEAH.
SINCE BOTH OF THES E ENGAGED PERSONS
HAVE STATED THEIR WILLINGNESS TO ENTER INTO MATRIMONY,
I HEREWITH DECLARE THE MARRIAGE VALID BEFORE THE LAW.
IF YOU WILL SIGN THE DOCUMENT, PLEASE.
( people chattering )
( clinking )
TO THE LOVELY BRIDE. CONGRATULATIONS.
THANK YOU.
AND TO OUR GREAT FUHRER.
THEY'VE TAKEN OVER THE POTSDAMER PLATZ.
TANKS, ARTILLERY, INFANTRY.
RUSSIAN SOLDIERS EVERYWHERE.
SOLDIERS, IGNORANT PEASANTS, RAPING EVERY WOMAN THEY CAN FIND,
STEALING THE FLUSH TOILETS
BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY'RE POTATO-WASHING MACHINES.
( music playing )
GOOD EVENING, GENTLEMEN.
OR SHOULD I SAY GOOD MORNING.
? WHAT'S THAT MUSIC
A PARTY.
WHAT ?
( people chattering )
OH, GOD.
AH, WELCOME TO THE WEDDING PARTY.
WEDDING ?
FUHRERJUST MARRIED EVA BRAUN.
ARE YOU SERIOUS ?
DON'T THEY KNOW-- DON'T THEY REALIZE THE RUSSIANS COULD BE HERE
IN THIS BUNKER WITHIN 48 HOURS ?
SPEAK TO THE FUHRER.
TELL HIM IT'S OUR LAST CHANCE TO LEAVE.
( Gen. Mohnke ) WHERE IS HE ? I DON'T SEE HIM.
AND SO I HAVE DECIDED AT THE END OF MY LIFE
TO MARRY THE YOUNG WOMAN, WHO, AFTER MANY YEARS OF TRUE FRIENDSHIP,
CAME OF HER OWN FREE WILL TO THIS CITY
) ( clearing throat
, WHEN IT WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY UNDER SIEGE
IN ORDER TO SHARE MY FATE.
WE HAVE CHOSEN DEATH
TO ESCAPE THE DISGRACE OF REMOVA L OR SURRENDER.
I'M TALKING ABOUT RUSSIAN ASSAULT TROOPS ONLY 300 METERS FROM HERE.
I THINK WE CAN GET OUT IF WE MOVE NOW.
YOU'RE WASTING YOUR BREATH, GENERAL.
THE FUHRERWILL NOT LEAVE BERLIN,
NOR WILL I, MY WIFE, OR MY CHILDREN.
I NEVER WANTED WAR.
IT WAS PROVOKED SOLELY
BY THE AGENTS
OF JEWISH MARXIST INTERESTS.
POSTERITY SIMPLY CANNO T PLACE THE BLAME
. FOR THIS WAR ON ME
OUT OF THE RUINS
OF OUR CITIES,
THERE WILL ARISE A NEW HATRED
FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE
ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE.
( people chattering )
BEFORE MY DEATH,
I NOW EXPEL REICH MARSHALL
HERMANN GOERING
AND REICH FUHRER
S.S. HEINRICH HIMMLER, FROM THE PARTY.
THEY HAVE BROUGHT SHAME
ON OUR COUNTRY
AND OUR PEOPLE.
DISLOYALTY
HAS UNDERMINED OUR RESISTANCE
AND IT HAS NOT BEEN GRANTED
FOR ME TO LEAD MY PEOPLE
TO VICTORY.
WE'LL HAVE 3 GROUPS IN THE BREAKOUT.
WE'LL DIVIDE UP THE BUNKER PERSONNEL
AND THOSE LEFT IN THE CHANCELLERY.
WHAT ARE OUR CHANCES ?
IF WE MAKE IT TO THE STRACHOW FACTORY,
IF WE GET THAT FAR, STICK TOGETHER,
WE SHOULD MAKE IT TO THE BRITISH LINES.
EXCUSE ME, GEN. MOHNKE.
THE FUHRERWOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU IMMEDIATELY.
MY FUHRER.
YOU'VE ASSUMED COMMAND OF THE BERLIN FIGHTING ?
YES, MY FUHRER.
MY LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS.
I WISH TO LIVE UNTIL THE 5TH OF MAY.
THERE IS SOME SIGNIFICANCE TO THAT DAY ?
THE 5TH OF MAY IS THE ANNIVERSARY OF NAPOLEON'S DEATH.
WE'RE BOTH MEN BORN BEFORE OUR TIME.
SO MUCH THE WORSE FOR EUROPE.
HISTORY WILL BE MY JUDGE
AS IT WAS FOR HIM.
I CANNOT GUARANTEE THE DATE, MY FUHRER.
IS THAT ALL, MY FUHRER?
TO ADMIRAL DONITZ.
THE FUHRERIS NOW CONDUCTING THE DEFENSE OF BERLIN.
HE ORDERS YOU TO PROCEED AGAINST ALL TRAITORS WHO ARE NOT FIGHTING.
SEND IT OUT AT ONCE.
SIR.
E AND, MISCH, I EXPECT YOU TO REMAIN ON DUTY HER
. UNTIL THE BREAKOUT
YES, SIR.
HERE.
THIS ONE.
I WANT YOU TO HAVE THIS ONE.
OH, NO, I COULDN'T TAKE IT . I COULDN'T.
PLEASE, DON'T BE SILLY.
I HAVE NO USE FOR IT NOW.
AND YOU WILL HAVE IT FOR THIS WINTER, AND YOUR LIFE AFTER THE WAR.
AND WHEN YOU PUT IT ON, DEAR TRAUDL, YOU WILL THINK OF ME
AND THE TIMES WE SHARED IN BAVARIA, HUH ?
WE'RE CLOSING THE DOORS HERE, DR. SCHENCK.
. WHY ? WE NEED ALL THE AIR WE CAN GET
DR. GOEBBELS IS HAVING A FAREWELL PARTY FOR HIS FRIENDS.
FRIENDS ? WHO IS THERE LEFT TO COME ?
DR. GOEBBELS WOULD LIKE 6 OF THE WOUNDED SOLDIERS
TO ATTEND THE PARTY.
. THEY'RE BOYS, MERE BOYS, AND MANY OF THEM ARE DYING
DO YOU REALLY THINK THEY WANT TO SAY FAREWELL TO DR. GOEBBELS ?
( soldiers clapping )
. EVERYONE BE SEATED
( children chattering )
I WISH TO EXPRESS MY DEEP APPRECIATION
FOR YOUR LOYALTY AND YOUR DEVOTION.
ALTHOUGH OUR ENEMIES REMAI N GREATLY IMPRESSED
WITH THE COURAGEOUS, FIGHTING SPIRIT OF OUR TROOPS,
IT MUST BE STATED THAT THE MORALE OF OUR MEN IS SLOWLY SINKING.
THE ENEMY IS NOW INDULGING IN A GREAT ORGY OF HATE
AND A THIRST FOR DESTRUCTION.
FOR THAT REASON, WE MUST FIGHT
TILL THE FINAL BREATH IN OUR BODIES.
I WISH I COULD TELL YO U THE STRUGGLE MIGHT STILL SUCCEED.
UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
THE ENEMY HAS STATED, UNDER NO CONDITIONS
WILL GERMANY BE GIVEN LENIENT TREATMENT.
OF COURSE, THAT'S THE WORK OF THE JEWS.
I HOPE ANYONE IN A POSITION TO DO SO
WILL KILL OFF THESE JEWS LIKE THE VERMIN THEY ARE.
. IN GERMANY, THAT JOB ALREADY IS FAIRLY COMPLETE
I TRUST THE WORLD WILL TAKE ITS CUE FROM US.
I LOOK AT THESE BRAVE, YOUNG, FIGHTING MEN
AND MY HEART GOES OUT TO THEM.
LET US SHOW THEM OUR GRATITUDE, SHALL WE ?

THE REPORT IS THAT MUSSOLINI AND HIS MISTRESS

AHEM, YES.
THEIR BODIES WERE TAKEN TO A PUBLIC SQUARE
AND HUNG THERE UPSIDE DOWN.
THERE YOU ARE.
DID YOU BRING THEM ?
YES, MY FUHRER.
CYANIDE CAPSULES.
WHERE DID YOU GET THEM ?
THEY WERE GIVEN TO ME BY HIMMLER'S PHYSICIAN.
HIMMLER ?
HAS IT BEEN TESTED ?
THE BOX IS SEALED.
( coughing )
HOW CAN WE DO THAT ?
WHAT, MY FUHRER ?
HOW CAN WE TEST THEM ?
( Blondie panting )
THIS WAY. THAT'S RIGHT.
KEEP HER STILL. HELLO, BLONDIE.
GET HER MOUTH OPEN.
NICE AND QUIET. NICE AND QUIET. THERE.
( whining )
THAT'S IT.
THERE WE ARE. THERE, THERE.
WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE PUPPIES ?
KILL THEM.
( music playing )
( knocking on door )
MY DEAR.
ARE YOU AFRAID ?
NO.
I'M NOT EVEN THINKING ABOUT MY OWN DEATH.
IT'S THE CHILDREN.
THAT'S WHERE I MUST HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF COURAGE.
DEAR GOD.
THE DEAR AND GRACIOUS GOD WILL FORGIVE ME, I KNOW,
IF I MYSELF GIVE THEM THEIR RELEASE.
I WOULDN'T TRUST ANYONE ELSE.
( bombs exploding )
( missile whizzing )
YOU READY ?
LET US SAY GOODBYE.
MY FUHRER.
( Hitler ) BAUR, TAKE IT. I WANT YOU TO HAVE IT.
OH, THANK YOU, MY FUHRER, BUT I COULDN'T ACCEPT SUCH A GIFT.
YOU DESERVE IT. IT HAS GREAT HISTORICAL VALUE.
WELL, I WOULD ACCEPT I T ONLY TO GIVE TO A MUSEUM ONE DAY.
GOODBYE, BAUR.
UH.
THANK YOU.
GUENTER, IS EVERYTHING READY ?
. YES, MY FUHRER
GOOD.
WILL YOU KEEP THAT DOOR CLOSED ?
THEN YOU WAIT 10 MINUTES BEFORE YOU OPEN IT.
I WILL.
WELL, GOODBYE, GUENTER.
. GOODBYE, MY FUHRER
THANK YOU.
BITE DOWN HARD.
( gun firing )
IT'S TIME.
( missile whistling )
( machine gun firing )
( bombs exploding )
( bombs continue exploding )
( machine guns firing )
I WANTED TO WALK.
( laughing )
OH, COME, MY LOVE. SIT DOWN.
LISTEN, MY DARLINGS,
WE'RE GOING TO FLY TO BERCHTESGADEN TOMORROW WITH THE FUHRER.
NOW, I WANT YOU TO GO TO BED VERY EARLY TONIGHT.
AND AS SOON AS YOU'RE READY FOR BED,
I'M GOING TO GIVE EACH OF YOU A SWEET CHOCOLATE.
IT WILL HELP TO KEEP YOU FROM HAVING AIRSICKNESS.
COULD I HAVE 2 ?
NO, MY LOVE. ONLY ONE A PIECE.
ONE BIG PIECE.
PUTTING YOU THROUGH NOW. THROUGH NOW.
( children chattering )
MISCH, MISCH, YOU'RE A FISH.
NOW, MY DARLINGS.
OFF TO BED. SLEEP WELL.
GOOD NIGHT, HELGA.
GOOD NIGHT, HELMUTH.
GOOD NIGHT, HILDE.
. COME ON, SWEET
GOOD NIGHT, HEIDI.
? WHAT'S THE MATTER
( children chattering )
THEY'RE GOING TO DIE.
WHO ARE ?
ALL OF THE CHILDREN ARE GOING TO DIE.
( Magda ) COME, LOVE, COME ON.
BUT WHY ?
DR. HAASE TOLD ME, AND NO ONE CAN STOP IT NOW . NO ONE.
WHY ?
( children giggling )
( door opening )
( guns firing )
DR. GOEBBELS WISHES TO KNOW IF THE BODIES HAVE BEEN INSPECTED.
D YOU MAY TELL HIM HE CAN REST ASSURE
THAT THEY ARE BEYOND ALL HUMAN RECOGNITION.
GOOD NIGHT, DARLING.
GOOD NIGHT.
( girl ) GOOD NIGHT. SLEEP TIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT. GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT, DARLING.
I DON'T LIKE IT. IT TASTES FUNNY.
OH, EAT IT, SWEET, OTHERWISE YOU'LL BE SICK IN THE MORNING.
GOOD NIGHT, MOTHER. GOOD NIGHT, LOVE.
WE STOPPED THOSE ROTTEN COMMUNISTS DEAD IN THEIR TRACKS
HERE ON THEIR HOME GROUND.
THOSE DAYS WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
WE SANG THE HORST WESSEL TOGETHER, RIGHT ON THE STREETS.
AND I TELL YOU IT WAS THE POWER OF THE FUHRER
THAT BROUGHT THE PEOPLE OVER TO THE NATIONALIST PARTY.
THE MASSES DON'T WANT TO BE BURDENED WITH PROBLEMS.
THEY DESIRE ONLY ONE THING: TO BE LED BY A GREAT LEADER.
THAT'S WHAT THE INTELLECTUALS NEVER UNDERSTOOD.
BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU, HITLER KNEW IT.
SO, NOW WHAT HAPPENS ?
WE LEAVE EVERYTHING TO THE MONEYCHANGERS,
THE SCREAMING BROKERS AND THE ROTTING PLANKS OF CAPITALISM ?
WE GAVE THE WORLD THE SOLUTION TO THE JEWISH PROBLEM.
AND HOW DO THEY THANK US ?
WE GAVE THEM REASONS AND OPTIONS,
TO TAKE PRIDE IN THEIR EXISTENCE.
WE GAVE THEM PERCEPTION AND MEANING TO LIVE AS NATIONS
BASED ON FIRM FOUNDATIONS OF CLEAR AND SHINING EXAMPLES.
AND HOW DO THEY THANK US: UNCONDITIONAL BETRAYAL.
THAT WILL BE THE TRUE VERDICT OF WORLD HISTORY.
WELL,
THAT'S THEIR PROBLEM NOW.
EXCUSE ME, GENTLEMEN.
WELL, AT LEAST YOU GOOD PEOPLE WON'T HAVE TO CARRY OUR BODIES
UP THIS LONG FLIGHT OF STAIRS.
( machine guns firing )
( gun firing )
( bombs exploding )
NOW WE CAN'T POSSIBLY GO THIS WAY
BECAUSE THE SOVIETS HAVE BLOCKED OFF THE RIVER ROUTE.
SO, WE MAKE OUR WAY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE WILHELMSTRASSE
TO THE SHELTER AT THE KAISERDORF SUBWAY STATION.
OUR MAIN GOAL IS TO SURFACE OUTSIDE OF THE SOVIET RIM.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?
SMALLPOX.
I'M GIVING MYSELF SMALLPOX.
DO YOU WANT TO BE RAPED ?
. USE IT
I WANT TO LEAVE WITH YOUR GROUP.
AS YOU WISH, BORMANN.
GOOD LUCK.
JOHANNES, GOODBYE.
GOODBYE, FRAUJUNGE.
GOODBYE.
THANK YOU.
( guns firing )
( bombs exploding )
( choking )
( Rochus ) JOHANNES !
. OH, MY GOD. YOU SCARED ME TO DEATH
. I THOUGHT YOU HAD GONE
THOUGHT YOU HAD, TOO.
SO, WHAT HAPPENS NOW ?
I'M HUNGRY. LET'S EAT.
YOU COMING ?
NOW, IF THEY WANT TO SHOOT ME, THEY WON'T FIND ME.
I'LL THROW OFF THE LIGHTS,
SEAL THE DOORS,
START THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM...
HEY.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING ?
I'M LEAVING.
WHERE ?
. WHERE ? I DON'T KNOW WHERE
MAYBE I JUST DON'T WANT TO DIE HERE.
ROCHUS,
FOR THE FIRST TIME, YOU LOOK LIKE A REAL SOLDIER.
JUST IN CASE,
WOULD YOU GIVE THIS LETTER TO MY WIFE ?
WAS ABOUT TO ASK YOU THE SAME THING.
WHAT'S THE TIME ?
ALMOST 4:00 A.M.
WHAT CAN I SAY ?
GOOD LUCK, ROCHUS.
AND YOU, JOHANNES.
( machine whirring )
( music playing on radio )
( announcer on radio ) Stand by, please.
Stand by for an important announcement.
It is reported today, that ourFuhrer, Adolf Hitler,
died fighting in Berlin.
Fighting till his last breath against the enemies of the Reich.
( male narrator ) YOU HAVE JUST WITNESSED THE LAST DAYS OF ADOLF HITLER
AND MET THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED AND LIVED WITH HIM
IN THE BERLIN BUNKER.
OF ALL THOSE IN THE LAST DESPERATE BREAKOUT,
ONLY 6 WERE ABLE TO ELUDE RUSSIAN CAPTURE.
MRS. CHRISTIAN AND MRS. JUNGE WERE AMONG THE 6.
THEY WERE CAPTURED BY THE BRITISH.
FOR YEARS IT WAS THOUGHT THAT MARTIN BORMANN
HAD ESCAPED TO SOUTH AMERICA.
BUT HIS BODY WAS DISCOVERED IN BERLIN IN 1972
AND POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED.
A SUICIDE, AT THE TIME OF THE BREAKOUT.
ALBERT SPEER WAS SENTENCED AT THE NUREMBERG TRIALS
TO 20 YEARS IMPRISONMENT.
HE LIVES IN HEIDELBERG TODAY WHERE HE HAS WRITTEN HIS MEMOIRS.
MOHNKE, GUENTER, RATTENHUBER, AND BAUR
WERE CAPTURED BY THE RUSSIANS AND SENT TO SOVIET PRISON CAMPS.
COL. VON BELOW, THE LAST OFFICER TO LEAVE THE BUNKER
WAS CAPTURED BY THE BRITISH.
SGT. ROCHUS MISCH SPENT MANY YEARS IN A RUSSIAN CAMP.
TODAY, HE'S STILL A BERLINER
AND LIVES ONLY 2 MILES FROM THE OLD BUNKER.
JOHANNES HENTSCHEL, THE MACHINIST, ALSO CAPTURED BY THE RUSSIANS
IS STILL ALIVE AND LIVING NEAR HEIDELBERG.
IT WAS THOMAS HARDY WHO SAID,
"WHILE MUCH IS TOO STRANGE TO BE BELIEVED,
NOTHING IS TOO STRANGE TO HAVE HAPPENED."
FOR NOTHING WILL STOP THE MIGHTY WILL
OF THE GERMAN PEOPLE. NOTHING.
FOR, THEY STAND UNITED.
ONE NATION UNIFIED UNDER THE BANNER OF NATIONAL SOCIALISM.
AS ONE PEOPLE, AS ONE PARTY,
ONE LEADER, ONE GERMANY.
LONG LIVE NATIONAL SOCIALISM.
LONG LIVE THE GREATER GLORY OF THE GERMAN FATHERLAND.
