...head wobbled strangely, his left arm hung slackly, his hands trembled uncontrollably. He had never fully recovered from the bomb attack by rebellious army officers the previous July, which had left him partly deaf. Haggard and exhausted, he received large daily injections of vitamins, hormones and morphine. Recalls Ernst-G??nther Schenck, now 81, a physician who was in the bunker to the end: "He looked like a man carrying a mountain on his shoulders. He was hunched, drawn into himself like a turtle. His face was a mask, gray and yellow. His glaring eyes were bloodshot, with large dark...

And in the British press last week the 6-ft.-tall Princess Michael of Kent, wife of the Queen's first cousin, was at the center of controversy because of the discovery by the tabloid Daily Mirror that the princess's late father, Baron G??nther von Reibnitz, was both a Nazi and a major in Hitler's notorious SS.

What's perhaps most striking about Downfall is how profoundly everyone in the bunker loves death. Hitler, naturally, thinks the Germans have betrayed him and is willing to let them all die in a great G??tterdämmerung while he passes out poison capsules to his circle. This leads to the most horrifying sequence in the film: Magda Goebbels, wife of the notorious Propaganda Minister, poisoning all six of her children because she does not want them to grow up in a world without National Socialism. This act, a blend of romantic and ideological fervor, is almost unbearable to witness...
