Ganz didn't look enough like Hitler. Ganz had a rounded, rumpled, pug-nosed face. Hitler had a long thin nose, and an almost gaunt face with sunken cheeks. Hitler was also famous for his startlingly blue hypnotic eyes - they didn't even bother to give Ganz blue contacts.

​@doom. I find it weird that you draw paralells between his knowledge about Hitler and his political persuasion on a history channel. I don't agree with it being historically irrelevant, his eyes might have had something to do with his ability to persuade or charm people, and to me, that's interesting.

Translations are never literal but if anybody is interested to learn about this particular line, Burgdorf doesnt exactly say he cant permit Hitler to insult the soldiers. He expresses "My leader, i cant let it happen , you (insult) soldiers that bleed to death for you". Due to differences in word order, this (unfinished) line wasnt translated more accurately. So the emphasis is less on the insult itself but on pointing out how these men die, possibly even right in that moment), sacrificing their lives for the leader.

the chief of army general staff in the Heer directly commanded and led the general staff of the ARMY only. they were second in command to the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and Hitler took the position for himself in order to gain more control. the chief of the army personnel office was in charge of managing the personal matters of officers and officer cadets in the army. the chief of operations staff assisted the chief of the armed forces high command and was responsible for overseeing all operations of the entire military. he was also the one who would usually succeed the chief of the armed forces high command. the chief of the armed forces high command is obvious, he commanded the entire high command of the armed forces which in turn managed all affairs of the military/

Himmler was a coward who was trying to secure an out for himself. With Hitler trapped in Berlin and communications breaking down, Himmler tried to assume the position of leader of the third reich in his stead. His argument to the allies was basically that Stalin wasn't going to stop until he controlled all of Europe, which is kind of an ironic plea considering how the war started in the first place. The allies didn't bite, and Himmler attempted to go into hiding. When he was caught, he committed suicide by cyanide capsule.

@@ohio its true the physical appearance is nothing alike. The actor is truly astoundingly tall, and gaunt. Irl he was quite short, hunched and often described as rat-like. That said the actor's performance is quite on point I'd say. He nails how creepy and full of himself he was. As if the person most won over by his propaganda was himself.

From the interview I saw, he wasn't amused. Bruno Ganz (the actor, rest in peace) wasn't personally offended and didn't think people were making fun of him, but in not so many words said he didn't like that it seemed like the meme makers were deflating the importance of the subject matter, or softening Hitler by making jokes. I'm not sure I agree, but I respect his opinion. Should be here on KZfaq.

​@@OlOleander The only video I could find was one from 2012 which actually is a parody in itself and is not an interview about the memes at all, the subtitles only make it seem to be about the memes. I understand German and the subtitles on that video are nonsense. Is that the one you are referring to? Or is there an actual video interview done about the memes?

When Hitler brings up Stalin’s liquidation of the Red Army high command he’s not suggesting he should do it now as it seems you’re implying... Hitler is lamenting the fact that he did not purge the Army High Command before the war so they wouldn’t have been a hindrance to grand strategic vision

@@omanvictory4011 The Germans were wholly unprepared to take on the USSR, even after Stalin's purges of the military and party. Hitler, and his cohorts, wrongfully assumed that because the Russians were hopelessly inferior racial specimen, the war would be won in a matter of weeks to months, as was the case with the previous conquests in '39 and '40. They underestimated the fighting capacity of the Red Army, and paid the ultimate price. Added onto that, the fantasies of oil and food that seemed to rest in the vast lands of the USSR were a pipe dream. The German command didn't wholly consider the proportions of such a vast conquest, and the logistics needed to secure it. The war was lost the second Hitler started it in 1939.

@@lemienkhang if Hitler could of defeated or made peace with Britain, got Spain to join the axis. Remember the pact with Italy and japan meant they too would come to Germanys aid if attacked meaning the ussr had japan to worry about. Also with Britain out of the war the sea lanes would of been open and Germany could be supplied oil and other supplies from the Americas and possibly trade with British empire. Would stalin really of attacked germany if Britain was out of the war considering the purges and weakness the red army showed against the finns and the apparent superior strength of the germans. It's all ifs and buts but it is annoying when historians say Hitler never stood a chance of winning the war which is just not true. After December 1941 the war was lost but before could of been won.

A remarkable performance by Bruno Gantz. Probably one of the most difficult parts to pull off but he did it with such emotion its hard to believe your not actually watching Hitler. Its scary, disturbing and terribly sad all at the same time, its the most realistic insight to the insane mind of Hitler.
