Downfall background creation

2022-01-25 08:03
The creation of the film comes from the historian Joachim Fest's "Hitler's Last Day" and the memoir of Hitler's last female secretary Trout Jonge "Until the End". Jung was born in Munich in 1920 and was chosen by Hitler as his personal secretary at the age of 22. She served until Hitler committed suicide and recorded Hitler's will, and finally escaped from the bunker with a small team.
What disturbs many people is that in the memory of this typist, Hitler was an educated, respected, and gentle leader. When she made a typo or did something wrong, Hitler was always forgiving. Therefore, until Hitler committed suicide, Jong continued to respect him. The book also revealed that Hitler was a vegetarian and a person who had a deep friendship with dogs. Before marrying his lover Eva Braun, he kissed her in public. Hitler was somewhat sentimental. He would not let others put flowers in his office because the flowers would wither and he didn't like seeing dead things. The film extracted a lot of material from Jung's book, giving Hitler an extremely humane side.

    How did you see the ghost

    I have watched it no less than five times. Hitler in the play is very good. Goebbels said: "The Germans can't blame anyone, they chose us themselves!" It was true. Now people should not resent their ruling party too much. Your inaction is tantamount to an action...

Downfall quotes

  • Adolf Hitler: You see, gentlemen? I'll be proved right. Wenck will come.

    [leaves generals]

    Adolf Hitler: Wenck will come.

    [passes by guards who salute to him]

    General der Artillerie Helmuth Weidling: I want to immediately know if it's possible for Wenck to attack or not.

    General der Infanterie Hans Krebs: It's unlikely that Wenck's small force can attack the Red Army...

    Joseph Goebbels: [interrupts Krebs] How dare you say it's unlikely?

    General der Infanterie Hans Krebs: Wenck has nothing to confront the Red Army!

    General der Artillerie Helmuth Weidling: Why don't you tell the Führer? Have you all gone crazy?

    General der Infanterie Wilhelm Burgdorf: The Führer knows it himself, but he will never surrender, and we won't either! I went through that before, and once is enough!

    General der Artillerie Helmuth Weidling: Come on, I have to get out of here.

    [leaves with Mohnke]

  • Adolf Hitler: General von Greim, I appoint you to Commander in Chief of the Air Force and General Field Marshal. A large responsibility rests on your shoulders. You must shake up the entire air force. Many mistakes have been made, so be ruthless. Life never forgives weakness. This so called humanity... is just priests' drivel. Compassion is a primal sin. Compassion for the weak is a betrayal of nature.

    Joseph Goebbels: The strongest can only be victorious by eradicating the weak.

    Adolf Hitler: I have always obeyed this law of nature by never permitting myself to feel compassion. I have ruthlessly suppressed domestic opposition and brutally crushed the resistance of alien races. It's the only way to deal with it.

    [Linge enters with a folder in hand]

    Adolf Hitler: Apes, for example, trample every outsider to death. What goes for apes goes even more for human beings.

    [Hitler reads the folder]

    Adolf Hitler: Himmler, in Lübeck, has made an offer to surrender to the western powers through Count Bernadotte... according to a report by English radio.

    [finishes reading]

    Adolf Hitler: Himmler... Of all people, Himmler! The truest of the true... This is the worst betrayal of all! Göring, yeah; he was always corrupt, of course. Speer, yeah: an idealistic, unpredictable artist. All the others, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

    [puts folder down]

    Adolf Hitler: But not Himmler. Has he gone crazy?

    [stands up]

    Adolf Hitler: He claimed authority by saying I was sick, perhaps already dead!

    [pause]

    Adolf Hitler: Please leave me alone with Lord von Greim and Frau Reitsch.

    [Everyone except the following stands up]

    Adolf Hitler: Oh, and bring me Fegelein.

    Heinz Linge, Kammerdiener: My Führer, we don't know where he is.

    Adolf Hitler: But he's Himmler's adjutant. He must be here.

    General der Infanterie Wilhelm Burgdorf: We haven't seen him for days.

    Adolf Hitler: I want his report at once!

    [Everyone leaves, and Goebbels is about to step out]

    Adolf Hitler: Please stay, Doctor.
