Wonderful. Learn the real end to the Third Reich.

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2005)

I have been studying about Hitler and the Third Reich since High School and have read everything I could get my hands on. I have also traveled to visit the sites shown in the movie. I also read a review in the IMDb which said the lead actor had heard and practiced Hitler's accent. Usually when you watch movies about history, the writers want to make the movie interesting not accurate. The first thing I look for is the accuracy of the equipment and uniforms and I was most impressed. I found out later the movie company had excellent technical advisor's.
What really left a profound impression on me was how some of the people in the movie would prefer death over surrender. The idea of loyalty, honor, and duty to country was outstanding--like the motto of the SS, "My Honor is Loyalty" or a motto like, "Death before Dishonor". I was so impressed by this that I wanted to climb into the screen and go back in time to be able to be with people like this. I really wished I was back in the Third Reach!
