Miscellaneous items for Der Untergang

Bruno Ganz spent a lot of time preparing for this film. He went to hospitals to study patients with Parkinson's disease and he spent time with another actor to get the unusual accent of Hitler down.
A scene from this film was used to poke fun at the Nashville gas crisis of 2008.
Magda Goebbels' character had problems holding her composure during the scene where her children were given sleeping medicine before being poisoned. The scene had to be re-shot several times due to the hysterical actor.
