Hitler’s stubbornness kept him from getting the real view of the war. As the fighting continued, Hitler spent less time in public and more time in the bunker. He refused to look at any unpleasant information and was “increasingly out of touch with reality and unprepared to accept truths presented to him” (185). Hitler did not want to be bothered with the day-to-day activities of government and would refuse to get

Rather the series considers, in granularity, the Nazi Party’s corruption and radical substance abuse, barbarity of their campaigns and the Holocaust, and how Hitler’s dynamic, psychotic self­confidence led him to strategic ignorance and ultimate capitulation of Germany. The show’s subject experts are able to provide meaningful, factual and often amusing insight on these points. For example, to paraphrase Dr. McDonough on Hitler’s ever­changing and deteriorating strategy for Operation Barbarossa,, “Looking at a map of Soviet Russia, Hitler would point to a general area and tell his Generals to take it.”4​ ​ While said in a light tone, this comment relates to the broader issue that senior Nazi military officers were chosen for their blind loyalty to Hitler, not their knowledge or military. In effect, this created confusion and was detrimental to Nazi military operations.5​ ​ Understandably, then, the miniseries shoulders much of the German military failure on

The directors show what happened to some of the buildings, like the Brandenburg Gate and the homosexual bars. At first, they would keep the gay bars open, they used this as a technique to lure out the gays so they would have more insight on them and who they are. Later on, when they had sought out their information, Hitler had them closed down, and they were guarded by Nazi’s. It was believed, Hitler had Reichstag burned down because there was a rumor the head of the building was having a homosexual affair. Hitler tended to use rhetoric in order to make the citizens think it was the homosexuals who were in charge of Ernst Roem’s murder and declared the cleanse of homosexuals. Throughout the entire first portion of the documentary, the directors play Symphony No. 5(Jean Sibelius), during which the buildings were being destroyed or Nazi vehicles were being driven through important statues. Symphony No. 5 has this dark menacing tone, which appeals with fear. In the first few scenes, the directors’ puts on this mere seriousness, with the help of the audio, which attacks one with the feeling of graveness. Secondly, the directors tend to appeal to past, again. However, it was more of appealing to past with the victims. The directors kept filming the train station and being on the train station. This tends to appeal to past because it puts the victims back into the train

The movie showed some scenes of Adolph Hitler when he was announcing his speeches, by showing these footage the director made the movie seem more realistic and as if they were filming it live as it

The book shows how powerful Hitler was with his words, but also how powerless he could’ve been without his words. In the novel,

Adolf Hitler was a brilliant man, in the sense that he could persuade the masses to conform to his ideologies so successfully. He was a master at the art of propaganda, which can be noted by reading his autobiography entitled ‘Mein Kampf’, specifically the section discussing propaganda and mass rallies. In this section, Hitler discusses how to produce good propaganda and explains why his version of propaganda is so effective. An example of Hitler’s propaganda would be his documentary film entitled ‘Triumph of the Will’, which thoroughly demonstrates the profound effectiveness of his propaganda, which still impresses people living in the modern day. The overall theme of the film is Germany’s return as one of the great powers of the world, with Hitler as the new leader who will bring glory back to Germany.

Everything about the painting even the crowed within it, plays on emphasizing Hitler’s spoken word on

This cartoon depicts a Hitler as a fool, when he disgraces himself and falls down awkwardly, contrary to the god-like image that Leni Riefenstahl portrays in Triumph of the Will. Hitler resembles an existing god as Leni Riefenstahl imparts a majestical appearance of Hitler with low angle shootings, while the cartoon makes a small and emaciated animation figure of Hitler doing humiliating dance, which indicates Hitler is stupid and ridiculous.

A meeting is held in order to determine the method by which the Nazi government is to implement Adolf Hitler's policy that the German sphere of influence should be free of Jews, including those in the occupied territories of Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Czechoslovakia and France. As the film opens, various officials from different German agencies arrive and mingle at a lakeside villa in Wannsee.

Trevor-Roper clearly explains the political intrigue that was going on in the "FuhrerBunker" in the final days. Even at the end Hitler was continually questioning his aides about a German relief army that was coming to rescue Berlin from the clutches of the Russians. This army in fact had long since surrendered. Hitler's and Goebbels response to Roosevelt's death was bizarre to say the least- with the end of the war rapidly approaching they took FDR's death to be an omen that Germany would soon gain the upper hand and eventually win the war. Himmler's deluded attempt to negotiate a peace with the western allies and have himself be the new fuhrer showed how out of touch with reality he was. In fact most of the major players in this book were seriously deficient in the reality department. One of the few rational people in the bunker Fegelin, (Hitler's brother in law) saw a bad situation and left the bunker and went back to his own house. Unfortunately, he was found by members of Hitler’s guard and was brought back to the bunker where he was eventually shot.

Downfall depicts Adolf Hitler and the Reich’s turmoil during the last few years of World War II. Bruno Ganz passionately expresses the anger and hatred of Hitler as his plans fall apart within the bunker. From his appearance to demeanor as well as his suggested Parkinson's, Ganz portrays Hitler extremely well, accurately exuding his authoritative pressure toward his army leaders. The graphic visuals of blood and gore as well as the violent blasts of artillery keep tension high throughout the film.

The Jew Hunter is very polite yet vicious and frightening and displays this again through a silent brutal strangling of one of the spies. These scenes depict Jewish and supporters revolt against Hitler’s reign and the war in itself it was before American involvement.

Hitler was the ruler of Germany during World War II, and he ruled over his people in fear. Jack is commonly described to being similar if not exactly like Hitler. Golding leaves many examples in the novel to show how Jack and Hitler are alike. Both of them promised their “citizens” a better life, they both promise their country “meat” (Golding 140), and they both lead as a dictator, taking their power with force and leading as the only chief of the state. Jack is described in the book as “a terror” (Golding 189) and Hitler has been

Therefore, this film is not only a testimony about the German past but also the German present. It displays the irrational annihilation of six young Germans at the end of WWII, summoning up a very agonizing recollection of Nazi Germany’s futile effort to turn back the Allied invasion by hurling teenage boys into the
