Currently available on Amazon Prime, this 2024 historical drama begins with a warning and disclaimer as the view is from the Nazi perspective after thorough research. These comments are in English on the Amazon version.
Goebbels is played by Robert Stadlober, whose earlier credits include 1999’s Sonnenallee and 2001’s Enemy at the Gates. Hitler is played by Fritz Karl, who has done quite a few TV movies and shows especially centered in historical dramas, but is also a familiar face from Männerherzen. Much of the cast are well-known Austrian and German faces with dozens of credits to their names.
This film uses some original clips from the era. This adds to the art of the film as they show another perspective as those images are recorded. However, some of the original footage does include non-sexual nudity as they show transportation of Jews during the Holocaust. Other original clips include deaths of those lost, both the action as well as the aftermath of their bodies. These clips should be skipped in most high school environments. Thankfully, this film is educational and powerful as chapters as well as the whole piece.
This film ends with words from Margot Friedländer, who was a survivor. She died months after the release. Giving her the last sound of the film allows her words to leave a lasting effect.
