Meisner portrayed Hitler a lot more accurately than the other guy, but Bruno Ganz was the most convincing.

Agreed, although the situations Ganz portrayed had a limited range (i.e. "Bunker Hitler") while Meisner and Berkoff had to cover a lot more ground. That said, I would have loved to see Ganz instead of Berkoff throughout War and Remembrance.

Berkoff got mixed reviews in his portrayal of Hitler in WAR AND REMEMBRANCE: some people thought he was excellent, others say he was too over the top. Both Guenther Meisner and Bruno Ganz are dead.@@nerva-

I remember watching this...I think 1983? It was a terrific series

I just wish they would have continued with the whole cast into war and rembrance

I think Günter Meisner, although a bit stiff at times, was a much better and sinister Hitler than his successor to the role, Steven Berkoff, in War and Remembrance. The latter was playing it as a mere caricature, a yelling buffoon.

In War and Remembrance, Hitler was cartoonish, but I could understand what he was saying better, not just the subtitles, but also Berkhoff spoke a bit slower and more clearly. Neither however can match Bruno Ganz's portrayal of Hitler. Though I think Keitel, Halder, and Goering were done better in War and Remembrance partly due to the fact I made the bad mistake of watching War and Remembrance first!😡

Ooh wow who played Count Ciano plays in "War & Remembrance" (1988) for von Stauffenberg. and "Hitler" actor Meisner was a German paratrooper during World War II. Anton Diffring was a classy actor.

Diffring played Heydrich in "Operation Daybreak".

Alec Guinness’ voice was closest, his normal speaking voice was a surprisingly warm baritone.

43:10-43:25 A lot of people don't know this, but it was Stalin not Hitler who violated the Nazi-Soviet Pact first when he grabbed the Romanian territory of Northern Bukovina in the summer or fall of 1940. That was never agreed to in the Nazi-Soviet Pact; there was no secret protocol of that pact for Soviet Russia to annex territory that never belonged to her in the first place. Bukovina never even belonged to the czarist Russian Empire. Stalin was busily reclaiming territory Russia had lost after World War I; eastern Poland; bits and pieces of Finland (it's a wonder he didn't annex the whole of Finland and make it part of Russia as Czar Alexander I did in 1809); the Baltic States; and the Romanian province of Bessarabia; but not Bukovina. This however, does not justify Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union and the cruel treatment that was meted upon upon it's people by his bloody hands.

@67nairb : Dices eso porque IGNORAS o quieres hacer creer que no sabes que al invadir Bucovina la URSS estaba amenazando la única fuente natural de combustible para el III Reich en Rumanía y en aquellos días de la "Batalla por Inglaterra" ese acto soviético equivalía a poner un puñal en la garganta del III Reich, o sea un auténtico acto de EXTORSIÓN que prácticamente daba por roto el pacto Ribbentrop-Molotov ...¿Tú crees que Hitler evaluando esto, estaba dispuesto a ser apuñalado por la espalda? ...

The opening scene is titled "Berlin, March 31, 1939" yet the background photo is of Vienna.

#1 bruno ganz! Anthony hopkins was also very good.

They forgot Rommels conversation with Hitler and the meeting of operation case white

For Meisner fans, he first played Hitler in Jean Paul Belmondo's *L'as des as* (Ace of Aces 1982). It's a comedy and he's very funny.

this TV Serie is so far from the truth in respect how it showing germans that it is no surprise that in particular US people have no clue about Germany.

28:59 top 10 epic moments

39:56 I think that French general or marshal was either Charles Huntziger or Maxime Weygand, the man who replaced General Gamelin as commander & chief of the French Army just as the Battle of France was ending. He looked really dejected.

I have been spoiled by documentaries based on actual home movies. How can an actor pull a convincing Hitler out of his hat? Not easy. I saw Bruno Ganz and he gave me the creeps. Good for him.

Promises, promises. Treaties are only as good as the principals are willing to enforce it.

Meisner was too young by five years for the role of Hitler and his face way too taut. A lot of Hitler's visitors came away shocked at the rather plain and droll expressionless countenance of the man, esp. if his mustache was overlooked. Not a very impressionable man, except when he gave speeches or went on a tirade. He was far too impressionable then.

They skipped out the part where Aaron and Natalie Jastrow were listening to Hitler's speech in which he declared war on the United States on their radio in Part 7 and the last chapter of the WoW. While it's true we only heard Hitler's voice or should I say Guenther Meisner's voice, it could've been including in this video.

Meissner was a terrible Hitler.....as bad as any English actor who played him. The only good depiction of Hitler was Bruno Ganz in Downfall because he was a German speaking German.

Berkoff isn't much better but at least he isn't so clearly insane in the way he portrays him though again Hitler speaking English never works....
