The Downfall

- This item is used Description DER UNTERGANG portrays the last weeks in Adolf Hitler's (Bruno Ganz) life, experienced from the perspective of his stenographer Traudl Junge (Alexandra Maria Lara). Germany is in collapse and a defeat for the Third Reich seems inevitable. Hitler, together with his closest circle, including his wife Eva Braun (Juliane Köhler) and the Goebbels family (Ulrich Matthes and Corinna Harfouch), has fortified himself in the Führerbunker in central Berlin, where they await their fate. The Allies approach the gates of Berlin rapidly, and Hitler's shifting moods grow worse as the war progresses. A portrait quickly emerges of a disillusioned Hitler with extreme anxiety about conspiracies and a violent hatred of Jews, but there is also shown an as yet unknown Hitler with more humane sides.
