A must for any history student

Rating: 9/10 (9 February 2014)

There are few movies on Germany in WWII and this together with Das Boot are one of the excellently best. It covers the very last time of Hitler 's life in the bunker in Berlin. As far as I can judge it is as historically correct as what is known.
The only very minor flaw is that Hitler's secretary Traudl Junge (on whose memoirs the film is based) does not speak with the proper Bavarian accent. Could they not have found an actress who could learn that? (Yes, later interviews with her on YouTube clearly reveal the accent).
This movie should be a must for history lessons, or lessons in German language for that matter. Bruno Ganz as Hitler is at his very best.
For a WWII movie junkie, there are very few "action scenes" although there is some suspense in wondering if they are going to make it out of the claws of the advancing Red Army.
The movie is an excellent base for further reading and history studies. I strongly recommend it.
