The film opens with a young Traudl Junge auditioning for Hitler. He finds her charming. We see a seemingly calm, paternalistic Führer. However, the facade cracks as the Red Army encircles Berlin. High-ranking officials like Albert Speer admit the war is lost, but Hitler refuses to accept reality.
As the Russian shells rain on Berlin, Hitler's command collapses. He screams at his generals for failing him, ordering armies that no longer exist.

(That was an order!) become terrifying rather than comedic in the full context. downfall 2004 vietsub
