Der Untergang
"In April of 1945, Germany stands at the brink of defeat with the Russian Army closing in from the east and the Allied Expeditionary Force attacking from the west. In Berlin, capital of the Third Reich, Adolf Hitler proclaims that Germany will still achieve victory and orders his Generals and advisers to fight to the last man. "Downfall" explores these final days of the Reich, where senior German leaders (such as Himmler and Goring) began defecting from their beloved Fuhrer, in an effort to save their own lives, while still others (Joseph Goebbels) pledge to die with Hitler. Hitler, himself, degenerates into a paranoid shell of a man, full of optimism one moment and suicidal depression the next. When the end finally does comes, and Hitler lies dead by his own hand, what is left of his military must find a way to end the killing that is the Battle of Berlin, and lay down their arms in surrender.

This movie was great, the actors, the directing, everything was great about this movie. As long as you don't mind reading subtitles I would suggest this movie. The movie starts out with Traudl Junge getting a job as Hitler's personal secretary 2 1/2 years before the raid on Berlin. It fast forwards to the last days of Hitler where he lived out his final moments in the bunker. I just can't say enough of this movie, it was amazing to see. Below is the international trailer.
Here is clip from the movie, Hitler finds out the Himmler defected to the Allis.
