Der Untergang2004

Adolf Hitler:
General von Greim, I appoint you to Commander in Chief of the Air Force and General Field Marshal. A large responsibility rests on your shoulders. You must shake up the entire air force. Many mistakes have been made, so be ruthless. Life never forgives weakness. This so called humanity... is just priests' drivel. Compassion is a primal sin. Compassion for the weak is a betrayal of nature.

Joseph Goebbels:
The strongest can only be victorious by eradicating the weak.

Adolf Hitler:
I have always obeyed this law of nature by never permitting myself to feel compassion. I have ruthlessly suppressed domestic opposition and brutally crushed the resistance of alien races. It's the only way to deal with it.

[Linge enters with a folder in hand]

Adolf Hitler:
Apes, for example, trample every outsider to death. What goes for apes goes even more for human beings.

[Hitler reads the folder]

Adolf Hitler:
Himmler, in L?beck, has made an offer to surrender to the western powers through Count Bernadotte... according to a report by English radio.

[finishes reading]

Adolf Hitler:
Himmler... Of all people, Himmler! The truest of the true... This is the worst betrayal of all! G?ring, yeah; he was always corrupt, of course. Speer, yeah: an idealistic, unpredictable artist. All the others, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

[puts folder down]

Adolf Hitler:
But not Himmler. Has he gone crazy?

[stands up]

Adolf Hitler:
He claimed authority by saying I was sick, perhaps already dead!

[pause]

Adolf Hitler:
Please leave me alone with Lord von Greim and Frau Reitsch.

[Everyone except the following stands up]

Adolf Hitler:
Oh, and bring me Fegelein.

Heinz Linge, Kammerdiener:
My F?hrer, we don't know where he is.

Adolf Hitler:
But he's Himmler's adjutant. He must be here.

General der Infanterie Wilhelm Burgdorf:
We haven't seen him for days.

Adolf Hitler:
I want his report at once!

[Everyone leaves, and Goebbels is about to step out]

Adolf Hitler:
Please stay, Doctor.
