All language subtitles for The.Bunker.1981

Excuse me, do you....

Say, the bunker?

You speak English?

This is my name there, James O'Donnell.

I would like to see the bunker.

Cigarette? Smoke?

You're welcome.

Thank you.

In 1945, the city of Berlin
was Hitler's capital.

And this bunker was his last address.

He lived here underground for 105 days.

I arrived here on assignment for Newsweek.

It was just two 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.

Let's go back to 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?

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.

And this will be used
for the conference room.

This?

All the rooms are small, Bormann.

What have we come to?

What's the trouble, Hentschel?

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 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's orders...

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 going to Zossen?

The Fuhrer refuses to leave Berlin.

It's only 18 kilometers away.

Has the finest communications of any
bunker and it's seven times as big.

He knows that, General.
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.

-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.

-ls 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?

-ls 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.

-Heil Hitler.
-Heil Hitler.

Herr Speer, 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.

Thank you, sir.

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.

-What do you think 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.

Now tell me, is it true...

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?

Excuse me. They've asked you
to join the conference.

And here at Helmstedt,
Panzerdivision 6 and 1 2 have regrouped...

with 27 new Tiger Tanks.

We have most encouraging news
from Gen. Dietrich.

He's repulsed the enemy
all along the sector, west of the Saar.

The Luftwaffe reports the loss
of 629 aircraft in the month of December.

However, in spite of this,
we brought down 87 enemy bombers.

We still have four Panzerdivisions
fully committed to Budapest.

They're confident they can hold the city.

The two armies
who fought gallantly in Budapest....

-How can we help Budapest?
-...have now regrouped.

-We can't.
-They've been re-supplied.

But Berlin's going to fall.

When it does, the city
disappears 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 Fuhrerwould like to hear
the December production figures.

The overall production of armaments
is down 23%.

We are, however,
maintaining full production...

of fighter planes and Panzertanks.

Our greatest difficulty right now
is getting gasoline to supply them.

Two 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.

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.

-Sit down, Speer. Coffee?
-No, thank you.

You're one of the few people
I can trust, Speer.

Sit down.

-Did Bormann send you the instructions?
-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 bridges...

factories, and military installations...

but surely you don't mean
houses and farm animals--

Everything.

I want nothing left to the enemy,
you understand? Nothing.

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 that.
-The German people 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.

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 whiplash...

driving us onward
with more determination 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.

Ten times over, we'll continue the attack.

Policy has been set. Carry it out.

Heil Hitler.

-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.

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.

No. Not the ventilation. Not the system.

The Fuhrer's orders.

I'm not allowed to keep the air
flowing in the conference room...

-during military staff meetings.
-Why not?

The Fuhrer believes that the air
passing through the blowers...

produces excessive pressure into the ears.
He believes it reduces efficiency.

Perhaps we can correct the situation.
Let's look at the main air vent.

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.

-How's the filter removed?
-Just the four screws.

Let me see if we can't get you
a better filter, Hentschel.

I think that might help matters.
Thanks for your trouble.

Whatever I can do.

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.

Beg your pardon?

Thank you, sir. Good night, sir.

Want to forget dinner, go to the shelter?

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 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?

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 Tabun 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. SS Guards.

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.

Mustard gas. How would you get it?

It won't be easy. Just give me time.

There's a bunker, underground,
below the Chancellery.

No, it's impossible. You can't come here.

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.
-Goodbye.

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 six pups.

-Look at the size of her.
-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?

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--

He had half a division on the field.

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 struggle for Germany.

How dare you?

How do you dare? How dare you?

I insist you cannot blame Gen. Busse.

Then who?

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 that it requires
that you take six-week sick leave...

to commence immediately.

That'll be all, gentlemen.

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.

-I'm sorry. I forgot to get you another.
-lt 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.

All SS staff guards will take off-duty rest
in the communications rooms.

-Why?
-Conversion.

SS 6, 7, and 8 are being converted
into a casualty station in the Chancellery.

We got casualties coming
into the Chancellery.

How are we supposed to work
with people lying around all over the place?

Sir!

Yes?

Where are you going?

The bunker. I have an appointment
with the Fuhrer.

You will find the entrance
through the tunnel.

I thought I'd walk through
the garden tonight.

Get some fresh air.

Heil Hitler.

Reich Minister Speer.

-Yes.
-Come with me, please.

Wait here.
Bormann will be here immediately.

Bormann?

-I have no appointment with Bormann.
-Wait here.

-Hello, sir.
-Hentschel.

-How are you?
-Fine.

-Engine breakdown?
-Nothing serious.

-Still looking for that filter.
-Thank you.

By the way, you didn't mention
our conversation to anyone?

-You mean, about the filter?
-Yes.

-Didn't say anything to Bormann?
-No, I did not.

The main air vent...

-has been entirely surrounded by a chimney.
-Yes, I know.

I supervised the construction.

We did all of it in 1 2 hours.

-On whose orders?
-The Fuhrer himself.

-On whose orders?
-The Fuhrer himself.

Come with me, sir.

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.

I'm afraid times have changed.

Yes.

What is it you wanted to see me about?

The Fuhrer is greatly disappointed
in you, Speer.

For some reason, you have not carried out
the policies set out to you.

I don't know....

Which policy do you refer to?

The total destruction
of all towns and villages.

There have been administrative difficulties.

That is the language of his generals, Speer.

I think you will find the Fuhrer expected
a little more of you.

Just wait here for a moment.

-Good evening, Doctor.
-And good evening to you, Albert.

And how are you 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 injections first.

It's all right. 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?

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.

I am hoping there is still room
for reconsideration.

No.

My Fuhrer...

I don't believe that anyone
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 make
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 l, we were like fellow artists.

Speer, you and l....

Then, we had a complete understanding
of each other.

Put it on the table.

That'll be all.

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....
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 gauleiterto know
that there must be total destruction.

I've given you complete authority
over every one of them.

They must all comply without question.

In those areas where the enemy
is now approaching...

there will be total destruction.
Is that understood?

-I keep thinking--
-lf 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.

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. Total destruction.

You'll answer me, please.

Is that understood?

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.

That's good.

How did you get it?

I've traveled over 900 miles
these past three 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 here in this office,
these four walls.

I even sleep here sometimes.

-I envy you, Albert.
-You shouldn't.

What happens now?

Nothing.

What does "nothing" mean exactly?

No more assassination attempts.

I think...

-I was capable of only one.
-I see.

You rise with Hitler
and you will fall with Hitler.

All of us.

I don't think the fate of Germany
can be severed from that...

of Adolf Hitler.

And you intend to carry out
his orders of destruction?

No. I will warn the gauleiters...

that if they attempt to burn down
their towns and villages...

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 Fuhrer is in conference
at the moment.

But Col. Von Below has asked to see you
while you're waiting.

-Thanks Maj. Guenter.
-He's in the Chancellery dining room.

Colonel.

So, what are you gonna do?

About what?

I thought you would've heard.

Bormann has been placed in charge
of the gauleiters.

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 l?

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.

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 injections 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.

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."

They've crossed the Rhine
at three junctures, including Oppenheim.

Gen. Patton, Third Division.

Oppenheim?

What units....

What units are meeting them?

We have nothing in the vicinity
at the moment...

but there are five tank destroyers
from the camp at Siegen...

They're on the move now.

-Speer?
-Yes.

You've heard the Americans advanced
into the Ruhr.

If the Ruhr is taken, how would it affect
our overall production?

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.

I want all inhabitants of the Ruhr
to be evacuated starting tomorrow.

-My Fuhrer.
-Tomorrow, that's all.

-One moment.
-lssue the order.

It's a staggering operation.

Millions of people
under battlefield conditions?

There will be countless civilian casualties.

There will be countless civilian casualties.

I'm supposed to go in there?

If you would.

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.

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 Thirty 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.

That is exactly why I pursue my goal...

with such, yes, fanaticism.

Battles are won, battles are lost...

it is essential then
never to lose one's nerve.

But we must be able 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.

I think it is clear...

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.

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 scourge and pestilence...

of Jewish martyrdom.

I will defeat them all.

I will defy the entire world.

You hear me?

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 able to hope.

That would be enough to satisfy me.

You have 24 hours
to think over your answer.

Money is no problem.

-I mean, it's an architect's dream--
-The Fuhrer has just arrived.

-Heil Hitler.
-Heil Hitler.

My Fuhrer.

Speer.

Magnificent, Speer.

Truly worthy of 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?

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.

Yes.

What is it?

Yes, well done, Speer. Well done.
My good architect.

My genius architect, rather.
The world is ours. Thank you, Bormann.

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 hours to change my mind.
-And will you?

-Blondie had puppies.
-How wonderful!

Send a message to the troops:
"Fight to the finish. Blondie had puppies."

Do 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.

-lncluding 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.

The Fuhrertakes great pride
in the youth of Germany.

You will serve your country
and you will serve your Fuhrer.

-Heil Hitler.
-Heil Hitler.

Get on the trucks.

-How long till they reach the front?
-Tomorrow morning.

It's not that far.

Wagner!

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.

There....

Frederick the Great...

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 General Zeidler.

Vienna has fallen.

Misch.

-What is it?
-She's here.

-Who?
-Eva Braun.

Just leave it there, please.

Thank you.

-Oh, how beautiful!
-lsn't it?

I have such a weakness
for beautiful clothes.

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 me 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, 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's birthday in this place.

How did we ever come to this?

Good.

How did we ever come to this place?

What? Did you say something?

Welcome to Berlin, Reich fuhrer Himmler.

Reichs Marshall Goering
arrived only a few moments ago.

Von Below...

eating before the Fuhrer arrives.
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 it all right?

You have my promise. He'll be there.

The Luftwaffe can't fly without petrol, Speer.

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 it 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.

Thank you.

Yes, Colonel. Thank you very much.

The Soviets are storming Rudersdorf,
on the outskirts of Berlin.

Friends...

Ioyal friends...

I know how difficult it was
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...

And in the weeks to come...

we will drive the enemy 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.

We shall not be defeated.

Thank you. Long live Germany.

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 three sides.

Gen. Steiner.

Order General Steiner's Panzer Corps
to counterattack at once.

He has fewer than 1 1,000 men.

I want all the Air Force personnel
placed at the disposal of General Steiner.

If any commander holds back his forces...

he will forfeit his life in five hours.
Tell General Koller...

that he will guarantee with his head
that the last man will be thrown in.

It's not possible.

How can Steiner 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.

General Weilding.

Issue an order
for his immediate arrest and execution.

Fuhrer!

All officers who do not press the attack...

will carry a sign stating, "l am a deserter...

"and I declined to defend
German women and children."

You will then hang them
from the nearest tree.

Good soldier, General.

What's your name?

-Kruger.
-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 know
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.

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 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, 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 six children
from a party kindergarten...

to make the group look entirely plausible.

No, I don't know when I'll see you.

He's determined to stay here
and take over the defense of the city.

I will. 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.

Fuhrer.

Two 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.

Hello, Father.

-We picked flowers at home.
-This is from our garden.

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 Fuhrer as I do.

Being a member of his personal staff...

his chief valet, and being
a highly decorated soldier...

I consider my position here
to be a great honor.

Well, whatever happens,
I wish you well, Rochus.

Yes. Godspeed.

You getting a new assistant?

No, 24-hour duty.

Me, too.

Liars, tell us. Lies!

-You! You have betrayed me!
-No, Fuhrer.

Where's General Steiner?

Bring me General 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?

The Air Force is superfluous.
So what do we need them for?

String them up at once.

String them up.
Liars, traitors, cut-ups and all of you.

-lt is vital you leave the bunker immediately.
-Why?

If you're to remain
in command of the Reich...

then you must go
to Berchtesgaden immediately.

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....

-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 comes from
an underground spring here in the bunker.

-That's right.
-Could you possibly divert some of it?

I could set up some makeshift hoses.

Thank you.

Has this been cleared with Bormann?

It's been cleared with God.

Nurse!

Easy, now.

All right, now.

You're getting your water.

Dr. Schenck.

-Did you talk to Hitler?
-No.

Well, his condition is getting worse.

There, now.

Get him morphine, immediately.

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.

I'll die for you

I'll die for you

Hey, you. My sweetheart!

Don't you wanna go away, too?

What is it they say now?

I'd rather have
a Russian soldier on my belly...

than a British bomb on my head?

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 three 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 married to Eva Braun's sister.

How long were you there in the apartment?

Where is the woman?

Answer me.

Pearls.

Jewels.

Tell me, General.

You were not by any chance on your way
out of Berlin when we found you?

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.

No.

I think it's a case of desertion.

Interrogate him further.

For what purpose?

Do you hear me?

Yes, my Fuhrer. And then?

-Release him.
-Release him?

-Release him.
-Release him?

He's Himmler's liaison man.
I think we must defer to that.

There's no proof, anyway.

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 asked by Gen. Mohnke
to give it to you immediately.

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.

"The wolf said, 'My friends...

"'it is not l...

"'who killed the lamb.

"'It's him.'

"He said, 'He looked like me."'

Hey!

-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.

Albert!

How good it is of you to come here.

I was delighted to hear you were coming
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?

If there's one man left in the Reich
I know that I can count on...

it is you, Albert.

Thank you.

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 marble crypt for my burial place?

They told me it would cost
a great deal of money to build...

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.

I have nothing.

A new Germania!

A new capital for the German people.

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?

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 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'm free of everything.

I'm free of everything.

My Fuhrer...

there's something I feel I must tell you...

before we part today.

These past four 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.

There you are, Albert.

I was afraid you would leave
without saying goodbye.

I even gave orders to the SS 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.

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.

Heil Hitler.

Heil Hitler.

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.

Goodnight.

You can read for two more minutes.

Sweetheart, finish up for me, will you?

Albert, I heard you might be coming.

It's quite an unusual place, isn't it?

The children are adapting very well, I think.

How's your family, Albert?

How's your family, Albert?

They're all at Berchtesgaden.

Look, Magda.

There's still enough time.

I can arrange for barges.

Barges?

On the Havel River.

They can take you to the Elbe,
to the Americans.

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.

I was thinking of the children.

So am l.

Our lives have no further meaning
without Hitler.

But, Magda....

The children are so young and--

And far too good for the kind of life
that will come after us.

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.

We're so proud
to be ending our lives with him.

I look upon it as a precious gift of fate.

Mother.

Excuse me.

What is it, dear?

What are you doing?

Come on.

Yes.

And that's all?

Yes, of course, I will at once.

This is the telegram
from Reich Marshall Hermann Goering...

to Foreign Minister von Ribbentrop.

I've transcribed it,
I don't know if you can read my writing.

We have the full text of the telegram now.

"lf by 10:00 p.m., April 23...

"it is apparent that the Fuhrer has lost
his freedom of action...

"to conduct the affairs of the Reich.

"Then, l, 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.

In a crisis, he's ice cold.

He's ice cold.

He's committed an act of treason.

We stood together...

years ago.

Goering...

determined, deadly.

The man....

Well, he's a drug addict, Bormann.

Corrupt.

He's a drug addict. It is a well known fact.

What do you intend to do?

Yeah.

How do you intend to deal with Goering.

Yeah, he must resign his office, at once.

The situation demands
more than a resignation.

A telegram to Ribbentrop.

Is there no honor left?

We can still reach the SS at Obersalzberg.

Place him under arrest.

I'm leaving now, my Fuhrer.

I wanted to say goodbye.

And....

There are four 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 Fuhrer is 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 around the fireplace
and listen to the music of Wagner.

You could see the snow falling outside...

and you knew
there was no place on earth as beautiful.

I always felt like a Wagnerian god there.

So high above the clouds.

And do you remember the cook?
Will Kanenberg?

He was as big as a house.
He had enough for all of us.

But the sausages that man could make,
and the little cream cakes.

You loved those cream cakes
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.

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.

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.

-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 Fuhrer is talking to Dr. Goebbels.

-It's almost midnight.
-What difference 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 point 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 these 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.

To the lovely bride. Congratulations.

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.

Good evening, gentlemen.
Or should I say good morning.

-What's that music?
-A party.

What?

Oh, God.

-Welcome to the wedding party.
-Wedding?

-Fuhrer just married Eva Braun.
-Are you serious?

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.

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...

when it was almost completely under siege,
in order to share my fate.

We have chosen death...

to escape the disgrace of removal
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 Fuhrer will not leave Berlin,
nor will l, my wife, or my children.

I never wanted war.

It was provoked solely by...

the agents of Jewish Marxist interests.

Posterity simply cannot 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.

Before my death...

I now expel Reich Marshall...

Hermann Goering...

and Reich fuhrer...

SS 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 three 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 Fuhrer
would 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 fifth of May.

There is some significance to that day?

The fifth 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 Fuhrer is now conducting
the defense of Berlin.

He orders you to proceed
against all traitors who are not fighting.

-Send it out at once.
-Sir.

And, Misch,
I expect you to remain on duty here...

-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
six 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?

Everyone be seated.

I wish to express my deep appreciation
for your loyalty and your devotion.

Although our enemies remain
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 you
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 blue dragoons,
they are riding

Through the gates, through the gates
music thrills

The fanfares are our companions

Proudly they ride

to the hills

Proudly they ride

to the hills

The neighing horses are pawing

Trees of birch gently wave as they pass

Banners on their lances

Fluttering high

In the breeze

Fluttering high

in the breeze

We got the news
from a Stockholm radio broadcast.

Go on.

The report is
that Mussolini and his mistress...

were captured by partisans yesterday
and executed.

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.

-How can we do that?
-What, my Fuhrer?

How can we test them?

This way. That's right.

Keep her still. Hello, Blondie.
Get her mouth open.

Nice and quiet. There.

That's it.

There we are.

What do we do with the puppies?

Kill them.

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.

You ready?

Let us say goodbye.

My Fuhrer.

Baur, take it. I want you to have it.

Thank you, my Fuhrer,
but I couldn't accept such a gift.

You deserve it. It has great historical value.

Well, I would accept it
only to give to a museum one day.

Goodbye, Baur.

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.

-Goodbye, Guenter.
-Goodbye, my Fuhrer.

Thank you.

Bite down hard.

It's time.

Get the hell out of here!

I wanted to walk.

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 two?

No, my love. Only one a piece.

One big piece.

Putting you through now. Through now.

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?

They're going to die.

Who are?

All of the children are going to die.

But why?

Dr. Haase told me,
and no one can stop it now. No one.

Dr. Haase told me,
and no one can stop it now. No one.

Why?

Dr. Goebbels wishes to know
if the bodies have been inspected.

You may tell him he can rest assured...

that they are beyond all human recognition.

Good night, darling.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night. Sleep tight.

-Good night.
-Good night.

-Good night.
-Good night, darling.

I don't like it. It tastes funny.

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.

That's their problem now.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

At least you good people won't have
to carry our bodies...

up this long flight of stairs.

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, Frau Junge.

-Goodbye.
-Thank you.

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?

If they want to shoot me, they won't find me.

I'll throw off the lights...

seal the doors...

start the sprinkler system....

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.

Stand by, please.

Stand by for an important announcement.

It is reported today,
that our Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler...

died fighting in Berlin.

Fighting till his last breath
against the enemies of the Reich.

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 six were able to elude Russian capture.

Mrs. Christian and Mrs. Junge
were among the six.

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.

Sergeant Rochus Misch spent many years
in a Russian camp.

Today, he's still a Berliner and lives
only two 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.
