Der Untergang Summary/Review

Der Untergang (Downfall) tells the story of Hitler's last 10 days of life in 1945 before he committed suicide in a Berlin bunker. It shows Hitler's struggle to hold on to what forces and sanity that he has left as he tries to understand where his command went wrong. Eva Braun, Hitler's girlfriend, tries to keep the mood cheerful as others around Hitler begin to doubt his ability to lead. The story is told based on Hitler's real-life secretary who was in the bunker with him during these last days.
