The move "Downfall" is a 2005 German film. It was produced by Germans in Germany, as well as directed by them. They based this film off of the first hand accounts from Nazis and Germans. (There is a difference!) These accounts are from people who were with Hitler in his final days. These days were pretty much his final 12. There are transcripts from Nuremberg war Crimes and Trials portrayed in the movie. A man named Traudl Junge, secretary to Hitler, compiled a diary that became the movie's key source. This film was one of the first German produced films on the subject, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
The purpose of the film was to capture the entire Nazi experience of the last days of Hitler's life in one movie. The idea was to make it as real as possible. They wanted to accurately and truth of Hitler's regime.
