All of the Berlin battle scenes from the World War II movie Downfall (2004) edited into a 20-minute film.

Downfall (Der Untergang) is a 2004 German-language historical war drama that presents the Battle of Berlin from a German perspective. Set towards the end of World War II, it depicts the last days of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime in their underground Berlin bunker. The self-styled Emperor of the German Reich increasingly loses touch with reality while the people of Germany engage in a desperate struggle against the armies of Soviet Russia. With orders to fight to the death, any talk of surrender could get you killed by the militant agents of an increasingly deranged regime. Many seek shelter among the ruins from vengeful Russian soldiers, Nazi militia, and the agents of the secret police. Others continue to believe in the promises of the Party, and the Fuhrer, who had led Germany to great victory and, finally, to catastrophic defeat, a world war against 51 nations.

Principal photography for Downfall took place from September to November 2003, on location in Berlin, Munich, and Saint Petersburg, Russia. The film was produced according to eyewitness accounts, survivor's memoirs and other historical sources creating an authentic 1940s war-torn Berlin. The screenplay was based on Joachim Fest’s book Inside Hitler's Bunker and Until the Final Hour by Traudl Junge, one of Hitler's secretaries. It is also said that a copy of David Irving’s groundbreaking book, Hitler’s War was also sourced.

Downfall premiered at the Toronto Film Festival on 14 September 2004. The film, however, was seen as controversial by some critics since it breaks Hollywood taboos by showing a human side to Hitler and the German people during World War II. Despite the critics, however, many of the reviews were positive, particularly regarding Ganz's performance as Adolf Hitler and Eichinger's screenplay. The movie Downfall was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 77th Academy Awards.
