DVD - Downfall: Hitler and the End of the Third Reich

Click to view larger image

Based on the novel Inside Hitler's Bunker by Joachim Fest.

The book describes in riveting detail the final weeks of the war, from the desperate battles that raged night and day in the ruins of Berlin, fought by boys and old men, to the growing paranoia that marked Hitler's mental state--his utter disregard for the well being of both soldiers and civilians-- to his suicide and the efforts of his loyal aides to destroy his body before the advancing Russian armies reached Berlin.
