Downfall
Der Untergang
Based on first-hand accounts, the film depicts the final twelve days of Adolf Hitler in his Berlin bunker as Soviet forces close in on the capital in April 1945. Narrated through the eyes of Hitler's personal secretary Traudl Junge, it offers an unflinching portrayal of the Nazi leadership's psychological collapse, fanaticism, and delusion as the Third Reich crumbles around them.
