Scene-ruining flaw #2: Hitler cites Goering's assurance that the invasion situation is well under control. But by 1944 Goering was discredited and humiliated; defeated over Britain, failed to supply Stalingrad, and failed to stop the crushing Allied bombing of German cities. In 1944 Hitler would never have cited Goering as a credibility-boosting endorser of anything. Besides, Goering wasn't in charge of defending against the Allied invasion: Rommel & Rundstedt were.

@@Springkid27 Well, it is in a reference to a 'party game'. In this game, there are always is always one chair less than there are players (so 9 chair for 10 players). The goal is to be the last person who sits on a chair when the game ends. In every round, some music is playing and all players walk around the chairs ... until the music stops. In that instance, everyone must take a seat on a chair to pass this round and enter the next round. The person that doesn't sit on the chair has lost the round and is out of the game. The process goes on until ony two players and one chair is left. Since the discussion between Stauffenberg and Hitler was about music, general Fromm alluded to general Keitel being the one without a chair "when the music stops" (= the miltary coup is staged) and is eliminated from the game (possible with 'elimination' in the sense of the word).

Hitler never wore civilian clothes once the war broke out. He stated as much during his first wartime speech on Sept. 1, 1939. He said he would not take off his military style tunic until the war was won 'or I will not survive the outcome'. Aside from this mistake, this scene is especially good when it shows Goebbels lower his eyes in disappointment and angst when Hitler says Goering has everything 'under control'. By this time, Goebbels despised Goering, his self-indulgence, his neglect of his duties and his overall incompetence and the fact that Hitler still insisted on taking Goering seriously at this late date in the war was something that really riled Goebbels.

Yes that included him playing like the robot that you described.

There was one line in the movie that was funny. The Home Guard was unwittingly being used by the plotters to arrest the SS under the pretense that the SS was fermenting a coup. The head of the guard finally realized it and confronted Himmler who called HItler and let him know Himmler was still loyal. Afterwards the commander of the Guard ordered his men to stand down and his aid said “What about the coup”? He replied “You idiot we ARE the coup!” I thought that line was humorous in the middle of a very serious movie.

almost every film gets nominated for something. and IDK where you get 85%, but rotten Tomatoes has this movie @ 64% / 65%. its no Oscar performance but the story telling was simple and seamless. ive watched this movie 20 times. Its underrate because it hasnt been seen by many, not that it HAS been seen and not given a fair shake.

This scene reminds me of my first job interview on Wall Street. I was half blind and thought the guys in their pin-striped suits were infallible.

Its frustrating seeing people criticizing this scene that have not even spend 5 minutes of googling… Valkyrie was produced with historians supporting- not everything is true but they avoid a lot of potential errors. Case and point - Hitler did spend half of 1944 at the Berghof in Berchtesgaden and Göring while not as influential as in 1940 was still in Hitlers closer circle and you will find pictures of the two from 1944 from the Berghof… Göring also still as a Reichsmarschall did give directives to the army (yes also the army, despite him being the head of the Luftwaffe) and certainly had an opinion on the invasion in Normandy…

It's a very good scene. But I like the moment most when Stauffenberg salutes with his missing hand.

It's so ironic that Hitler calls Staufenberg the ideal German Officer for two reasons, the first is where the plot of the film leads and second is because the Bundeswehr, the modern Army of the German Federal Republic has idealized Staufenberg as an exemplary officer.

Fromm: I'd be obliged if Keitel found himself without a chair. Stauffenberg: He is a consul of Germany!

Remember seeing this and thinking what a scene.

I heard a voice clip of Hitler when he wasn't screaming. I heard a clip of his normal, room voice and this is very close to what he normally sounds like. It's crazy..

Yeah that’s why they won both times. The first time they were so goddamn successful they ran it back again just for the shits and giggles, and were even more successful.

God this scene is tense

And here I was, thinking the best scene of the movie was the end credits!

After Stalingrad and Kursk, the war was unwinnable for Germany. So much death and suffering could have avoided.

True plus declaring War on America (which Hitler could have avoided but he was hoping Japan would declare war on the Soviet Union simultaneously which didn't happen). It broke the isolation on Great Britain.

@@lkgrave4959 Agreed. Hitler made two key blunders early in the war. Both inspired by his interpretation of German Chivalry. 1) allowing the BEF to escape from Dunkirk as a gesture of good will towards his Teutonic cousins (Hitler like Bismarck was a closet Anglophile) and 2) declaring war on the US after Pearl Harbor even though Japan had not declared war on the USSR after June16, 1941. But for those two blunders, Germany would have pulled off in three years (by end 1942) the greatest Conquering miracle in modern history. What it took Spain and Britain 100 plus years to pull off the Germans almost did in three years. You will NEVER hear nor read this in any war college. Too politically incorrect for 21st century Western students.

David Bamber played Cicero in HBO’s Rome and Hitler. Quite the contrast. Also a cameo from Pompey Magnus here

Underrated movie imo. It was so tense wondering if Stauffenberg’s plot would be busted before it could be activated (obviously we know it never panned out) but the film gave us an atmosphere of belief for just a moment.

That because they were bitter rivals that were total opposite in every aspect.

probably the biggest inaccuracy is they didn't make goering fat enough

For those that never looked up a real photo of Stauffernberg, Reeves is a splitting image of him.

Hitler, Speer, Goebbels, Göring, Himmler and Keitel, all in the same room at the same time? I doubt that happened more than 2-3 times during the entire existence of the nazi regime. They mostly disliked each other intensely. Göring and Goebbels hated each other. Göring was envious of Himmler. Hitler had no fondness or regard for Himmler as a person, and never socialised with him, even though he valued him as a worker. Göring considered himself socially superior to Hitler and more deserving of being leader. Everyone distrusted Speer. Everyone looked down on Keitel.

Goering had long fallen out of Hitler's favor by this point in the war. Hitler never would have made that remark.
