Pretty watchable

Rating: 8/10 (3 March 2006)

I have to say I was surprised when I realised this was in German, so used to films being in English these days...it makes a refreshing change. With the film being in subtitled German it gave it an air of authenticity (as far as a film documentary can be) that I enjoyed. Yes, it humanised Hitler and those around him but on the flip side it made the situation they were in and the things they did in their final hour all the more horrifying, particularly the systematic killing of the goebbels children by their own mother. In all a great film for those who are interested in WW2 history I'd give it a 9 but for Everyone Else it's a 8 or possibly a 7 since it did drag, even for me, in places.
