DVD Reviews of Death in the Bunker: The True Story of Hitler's Downfall
DVD Review: "Berlin bleibt deutsch!"
Summary: 4 Stars
You could see this as a dry documentary. There's barely an intro, the presentation is plain, and the first few minutes are boring. Instead of subtitles for the eyewitness accounts, there are English voiceovers overlapping with the German. But as it continues, it becomes compelling. There's footage I'd never seen before and interviews of people physically close to Hitler to the end -- his female secretary (Traudl Junge, who took down his last will and testament), his adjutant, and his bodyguard.
It focuses on Hitler's last days in his bunker under the Chancellery. He had just turned 56 and was clearly a physical and psychological wreck after five and a half years of war. They said that in the past he had never proposed marriage to Eva Braun because he was devoted solely to Germany, but after he belatedly accepted that Germany was lost, he married her. This was April 29; they committed suicide on April 30.
They give so many details of the goings-on in the Führerbunker -- how well-stocked they were with food and luxuries while outside the Germans were desperately eating anything as the Russians had already occupied most of Berlin; how Hitler inquired closely about the plans of his staff to escape Berlin through the Red Army's lines; how a nurse explained to him the best way to kill oneself by both taking a potassium cyanide pill and shooting one's head with a pistol...
Among the footage that left a deep impression:
- Eva Braun, in color
- the corpses of the six Goebbels children that their parents had poisoned rather than have live in a world without Nazism, all of them laid out side by side
- in color, Molotov touring Berlin
- the artifacts that the KGB had kept hidden for decades after collection from the cremated remains at the Chancellery (Hitler's and Braun's dental samples; Frau Goebbels's dentures; the brace used by Dr. Goebbels for his club foot...)
