I watched the movie Downfall which was about the chilling last days in Berlin as Germany was surrendering to the Russians., and the factors that led to Hitler's suicide.. It was a fascinating true story, partially because it was an authentic German movie. Luckily it has subtitles. The movie did a good job of portraying Hitler's increasingly fragile hold on reality, as he goes back and forth with accepting the war can't be won, and trying to implement strategies that are impossible. It also showed Gobbells wife killing all her children and the method that was used. One of the participants in the bunker during the last days was a member of Hitler's secretarial pool who escaped the bunker and was a great source of information for the movie...although initially she was contemplating suicide as several of the others in the bunker did, generals, staff members etc. If you are at all interested in World War II history, and you really should be, this is a fascinating movie to watch. I believe it is on Tubi, but not certain as I was flipping around networks.

@snowy22315 I end up looking up the story, and going down a rabbit hole.

Oh! I am kinda not for that movie, but I know it tells something from the history and how the pope did not stand up for the Jews and let them die as Hitler killed them. During Hitler, many refugees of Jews runs to our country and our former late president quezon opens a land for them in our country. But sadly a few happy moments was ended as the Japan conquered our country and kills a lot of Filipinos. I hope it will never happen again, and I am praying to God not to let our country be conquered again by pagan nations.

I will have to keep this movie in mind. I do not particularly enjoy movies with subtitles, but I could try.

The story is so gripping, that after awhile you don't even notice them.

What a shame that it’s in subtitles. I don’t see well enough to read them easy.

Ohh, that would be a problem unless you could watch it on a device where you could magnify them. Do you belong to Assoc of the Blind? They do have a lot of accommodations they can provide.
