0:00:21:DOWNFALL 0:00:24: I feel as if I should be angry|with that child, that... 0:00:30:naive young girl.|Or that I must not forgive her... 0:00:35:for not recognising the|nature of that monster. 0:00:39:For not being aware of what|she was getting into. 0:00:43:And especially that I went|along without thinking. 0:00:47:Because I wasn't a fanatical Nazi.|I could have said, in Berlin: 0:00:53:'No, I'm not doing it. I don't want|to go to the Führer's headquarters.' 0:00:58:But I didn't do that.|I was too curious. 0:01:02:I also didn't realise... 0:01:06:that destiny would take me somewhere|I didn't want to be. 0:01:12:But, nevertheless, I find it hard|to forgive myself. 0:01:23:The ladies are here. 0:01:26:It's confirmed.|-They can pass. 0:01:57:'Wolfsschanze'|headquarters of the Führer 0:02:01:November 1942|Rastenburg, East-Prussia 0:02:06:Sit down, ladies. 0:02:10:One moment. The Führer is feeding|his dog. He'll see you in a short while. 0:02:17:Can you tell us... How are we supposed|to address the Führer? 0:02:22:The Führer first speaks to you|and then you reply: Heil, mein Führer. 0:02:26:And the Nazi salute? 0:02:28:That won't be necessary... 0:02:31:since the Führer isn't looking for|a soldier, but for a secretary. 0:02:36:Act as normal and relaxed|as you can. 0:02:40:I'll see if|if he has time for you. 0:02:46:Mein Führer,|the ladies from Berlin are here. 0:03:07:Thank you for coming|in the middle of the night. 0:03:13:Sometimes, during a war,|one is not in control of time. 0:03:19:Can I ask your name?|-Margarethe Lorenz. 0:03:23:Where are you from?|-From Fulda. 0:03:26:And what is your name?|-Ursula Puttkammer. Heil, mein Führer. 0:03:30:No need for that.|Where are you from? 0:03:34:Frankfurt am Main, mein Füh... 0:03:38:Hannah Potrovsky,|born and raised in Berlin. 0:03:41:In Pankow, to be precise. 0:03:44:Hedwig Brandt|from Crailsheim, Schwaben. 0:03:48:And you are?|-Traudl Humps. I'm from Munich. 0:03:54:A lady from Munich. 0:04:03:Shall we start then,|Fräulein Humps? 0:04:17:My Blondi won't hurt you.|She's very intelligent. 0:04:21:She's much smarter|than most people. 0:04:29:First, sit down, please. 0:04:32:Don't be nervous. I make|many mistakes during dictation. 0:04:36:You won't make nearly as many. 0:04:49:You're very young. 0:04:50:How old are you?|-22, mein Führer. 0:05:00:My German fellow-countrymen|and women... 0:05:05:...fellow party members. 0:05:06:It is, I think, rather special... 0:05:11:that, after 20 years of service, a man still|stands in front of his supporters... 0:05:20:...and that in all those 20 years, his program|never needed to be modified. 0:05:41:I suggest we try it again. 0:05:56:I did it.|He hired me. 0:06:14:Berlin - 20 April 1945|Hitler's 56th birthday 0:06:17:two and a half years later 0:06:19:Take cover. 0:06:24:Hurry. Continue.|Get that off the street. 0:06:30:Take cover. 0:06:44:That's artillery fire. 0:06:45:Don't be silly.|Where would it be coming from? 0:06:50:You're right. These are no planes,|this is artillery. 0:06:53:It's the Russians.|What a birthday present. 0:07:02:Where is that cannon fire coming from? 0:07:04:Happy Birthday,|mein Führer. 0:07:07:The city centre of Berlin|is under fire. 0:07:10:Grenades have hit near the Brandenburger|Tor and the Reichstag. 0:07:14:Where did they come from?|-We don't know yet. 0:07:17:I have Koller on the line.|-Give me Koller. 0:07:21:Koller, do you know Berlin|is under artillery fire? 0:07:26:No.|-Can't you hear the shooting? 0:07:29:No, I'm in Wildpark-Werder.|-Berlin is chaotic. 0:07:32:Apparently, the Russians captured|a railway bridge over the Oder. 0:07:36:The enemy has no railway|artillery near the Oder. 0:07:39:It's not long-range artillery. 0:07:41:The anti-aircraft defence near the Zoo-Bunker|reports they're 10 to 12... 0:07:46:... cm calibres. The Russians have|positions near Marzahn. 0:07:51:That's only 12 kilometres from the centre.|Are the Russians that close? 0:07:56:They should hang the entire|Luftwaffe leadership. 0:08:01:This is unheard-of. 0:08:04:The Russians are at 12 kilometres|from the city centre. 0:08:07:Nobody told me anything.|I had to ask. 0:08:11:Maybe it's long-range artillery,|after all. 0:08:14:That railway bridge over the Oder...|-Nonsense. 0:08:23:That Himmler,|such a pompous buffoon. 0:08:26:Party bosses, everywhere.|They make me so sick. 0:08:34:The Führer starts|'Clausewitz' today. 0:08:37:Berlin as a front city.|He won't be able to keep the city. 0:08:41:If the Führer stays here,|the Reich will go down with him. 0:08:44:We have to talk him out of it.|Talk to Hewel. 0:08:48:He's the only diplomat|with any influence on him. 0:08:52:Hewel tried everything.|It's useless. 0:08:55:Talk to your sister-in-law, then. 0:08:58:Why not? You're married|to the sister of Eva Braun. 0:09:04:We must try everything.|Berlin is almost surrounded. 0:09:07:You're still young.|You'll be a father soon. 0:09:11:Do you want to die here?|-Absolutely not. 0:09:18:Gentlemen, the Führer. 0:09:31:Everything out. Quickly.|We're leaving in two hours. 0:09:42:What's going on?|-We're leaving. 0:09:47:'Clausewitz' has started. 0:09:49:All the ministries and departments|are leaving Berlin. 0:09:53:And who's going to look after|the people and the soldiers? 0:09:57:Don't ask me, professor.|-This is insane. 0:10:18:Professor. 0:10:21:I won't allow the|evacuation of my office. 0:10:23:Is that so?|-Food supply would collapse. 0:10:28:A good soldier can|always find food. 0:10:31:And when there's fighting all over the city,|where does he get it? The population. 0:10:36:It's irresponsible.|-It's an order from the Führer. 0:10:40:As department head, I|report to the SS and to Himmler. 0:10:44:But as a doctor, I'm part of the Wehrmacht|and they're not leaving yet. 0:10:48:Keep that in mind. 0:10:55:The professor stays in Berlin.|Get him the proper papers. 0:11:02:We're leaving. 0:11:17:Everything for Germany.|Heil, mein Führer. 0:11:21:Führer, I...|Heil, mein Führer. 0:11:25:They're in such a hurry|to get away from here. 0:11:28:The brown nosing is the worst. 0:11:30:They say 'Sieg Heil'. but they think|'Lick my... you know what.' 0:11:38:Mein Führer, I beg you: Leave Berlin.|It is not too late yet. 0:11:43:Too late? 0:11:46:Hewel, come here for a moment. 0:11:49:I'm sure you agree we should contact|the Allies... 0:11:54:...and start conducting politics.|-Certainly. We need politics. 0:11:59:Politics?|I don't do politics anymore. 0:12:03:I'm fed up with it. 0:12:07:When I'm dead, you'll have plenty|of time for politics. 0:12:12:It's good, dear Himmler.|My loyal Heinrich. 0:12:18:It's good.|Just go. 0:12:42:He has no strength left. 0:12:44:What did you expect from a|vegetarian teetotaller? 0:12:48:Seriously, though, Fegelein.|I'm taking control now. 0:12:53:Berlin will fall in a couple of days. 0:12:55:When the Führer's dead, who will|the Allies negotiate with? 0:13:00:Why do you think they'll|negotiate with you? 0:13:03:The Nazi state and my SS are needed|to maintain order. 0:13:07:One hour with Eisenhower|and he'll feel the same way. 0:13:10:The first contact has been made.|-Careful, that's high treason. 0:13:15:Fegelein, I have other concerns. 0:13:17:Should I give Eisenhower the Nazi salute|or shake his hand? 0:13:29:Look at that. 0:13:33:The best guests|always arrive late. 0:13:35:Leaving already, gentlemen?|I wanted to talk to you. 0:13:41:The scorched-earth order...|-I really have to go now. 0:13:45:Come and see me one day|in Hohenlychen. 0:13:51:I'm going north to help with the|battle of Berlin there. 0:14:05:You know, Speer... There's an|advantage to those bombings. 0:14:10:It's easier to clean up debris|than to demolish everything ourselves. 0:14:17:When the war will be over,|reconstruction will be quick. 0:14:22:We spent thousands of hours|together with these replicas. 0:14:29:You're a true genius, Speer. 0:14:33:Yes, absolutely. Only you and I know|that the Third Reich would be inconceivable... 0:14:39:...with only warehouses and factories.|Skyscrapers and hotels. 0:14:45:This Third Reich will be a treasury|full of art and culture... 0:14:49:...that will survive thousands of years. 0:14:52:We see, before us, the ancient cities,|the Acropolis... 0:14:57:We see the medieval cities...|the cathedrals... 0:14:59:...and we know that the people|need that. 0:15:07:Indeed, Speer. 0:15:12:That was my vision... 0:15:15:...and it still is. 0:15:20:Mein Führer, if you want to realize|these plans, you must leave Berlin. 0:15:31:Eva, you say something. 0:15:34:He's the Führer.|He knows what's best. 0:15:37:You must leave Berlin.|The Russians almost have us isolated. 0:15:42:I can't do that, my child. 0:15:45:I would be like a lama priest|with an empty prayer wheel. 0:15:50:I have to solve the problem,|here in Berlin, or perish. 0:15:57:Speer... 0:16:01:...what do you think? 0:16:04:You have to be on the stage|when the curtain falls. 0:16:24:Reload. 0:16:35:Go away. Leave me alone. 0:16:38:How old are you? Twelve?|And you? Fourteen? 0:16:42:Why are you here?|To play at war? Go home. 0:16:45:Who are you? What do you want?|I want my son. Alive. 0:16:49:You should be proud.|He destroyed two tanks. 0:16:53:The Führer will decorate him|for it, today. 0:16:56:You're still young.|At which front did you fight? 0:17:00:I haven't had|the honour yet. 0:17:02:Count yourself lucky.|Send the children home. 0:17:08:We'll defend this position|to the last man. 0:17:10:Which position?|This is not a position, it's a trap. 0:17:14:The Russians will come from two sides|and you won't be able to get out. 0:17:18:We'll shoot back.|-What with? 0:17:21:With the anti-aircraft guns. 0:17:23:The Russians will arrive with several|ar...
