A great, well-researched movie

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2009)

(This is one of the best-researched movie on WWII. Superb, accurate details. I especially liked the faithful reproduction of Hitler's mountain retreat Bergof. The outside and interior were exactly like the real thing.) The German people had made a pact with the devil, even though they did not know it at the time. Belatedly they realized what they had done, by which time it was too late. In retrospect, even if they succeeded in killing Hitler, I doubt that it would have been the end of the story: Goering, Himler,Goebels and other Nazi henchmen almost certainly would have put down the coup, with or without Hitler. The Nazi apparatus was too much entrenched to be dismantled simply on account of Hitler's death.....
