Der Letzte Akt plot

"From Heil to Hell!"

Captain Richard Wüst is critical of the Nazi regime. In April 1945 he was sent by his superior to the Führerbunker to inform Adolf Hitler about the situation at the front and to ask for reinforcements. His attempts to speak to Hitler in private fail several times. This is how Captain Wüst experiences the last days of Hitler. He sees his generals trying to avert defeat. Just at the moment when Hitler orders the S-Bahn occupied by thousands of German ordinary citizens to be blown up to stop the advance of the Red Army, Wüst is admitted to the Führer.

I found it somewhat surprising to discover this film, a German version barely 10 years after the end of the war, you automatically compare it with, among others, Der Untergang which is a lot better in terms of drama and acting (Bruno Ganz in particular is of course unsurpassable).

Still, I have to give this oldest version credit, after all it is the first version and in itself a quite successful attempt.

The best-known names outside of Hitler, however, remain noticeably in the background, with more focus on the liaison officer Wust and later also on a young boy, with a few sporadic scenes of the boy outside the bunker.

For the rest, some well-known scenes that we would also see in later versions appear again, a few parties, Hitler's frenzy, his marriage to Eva Braun.

Although entertaining versions have been made, I have to praise this one (which is German, by the way) because it was made barely 10 years after the war, and I don't think there was a single German who was waiting for this film at the time.
