I watched the movie Downfall. This movie was about the Nazi's and what happened when the Soviet Union began to invade Berlin. In the movie, Hitler was very upset that his generals were not able to hold off Russia. He ordered a lot of them to be killed because of this too. The movie also showed his secretary who he chose in the middle of the night one day. She is still alive and she talked about what she did for him like all of his official documents. The movie also shows the kids that fought in the war for Germany, and how many civilians didnt like that. One scene shows the dad going out into the battlefield and telling his kid to go home. Some of the kids actually got medals from Hitler because they did so good. In the end all of the generals kill themselves and so does Hitler.
I thought it was a pretty good movie even though it was in German with English subtitles. I thought it showed a good aspect of the military life of the Nazis and also showed how the Germans fell. Hitler didn't want to surrender, and the movie really showed that.

A bit brief perhaps but good.
