Downfall (Der Untergang) - General Weidling's surrender of Berlin speech

Scene from Downfall (2004), known as Der Untergang in Germany.
Helmuth Weidling announces Berlin's surrender on the morning of May 2nd and orders all military to ceasefire.

One point that was inaccurate about this scene: after Weidling wrote out the speech, the Soviet officers reviewed it before letting him broadcast it. The only change they insisted on was that he remove the word "former" in front of his title because, they said, until the surrender was official, he still held that position, and if he didn't, he wouldn't have the legal authority to order the surrender. And they say the Germans have to do everything by the book!

@@justaguy328 Yes, but then the filmmakers/actor neglected to include the one change the Soviet officers insisted on. It's no big deal - they just wanted to make good and sure the surrender would be official. They were equally picky about the signing of the documents, insisting that they be signed again in Karlshorst.

I believe the soviets did this because of what happened at Stalingrad. The final german resistance was cut into 2 groups, one group surrendered with its commander but the other group's commander was captured. What followed was the troops in the 2nd pocket refused to surrender because their commander no longer had the authority to order his troops to do so.

In terms of the quality of this thing it is the most obvious labour of love ever done for a film on this specific time span. Other final-ten-days films pale in comparison and there are even some that have youtube clips that are dressed up in full Nazi regalia but ridiculously speaking English. This film returns the ten days to their authentic roots, it shows why Hitler seduced all that believed in him, it did not pull any punches on the loyalty facts of the matter, nor on the desperation it drove the SS soldiers to, meaning they shot themselves rather than continue living past their Fuhrer suiciding. It is important to understand the effects of Hitler because Putin, Netenyahu, Trump, Biden, Kier Starmer and Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson and David Cameron and Marie LePen and Emmanuel Macron and Erdogan and Orban and Milei and Meloni are the new Hitlers, targetting Muslims when they’re not targeting Jews and targeting Jews when they’re not targeting Muslims (Zionists are not Jews- that’s why they can take over lands that arent theirs and be fine about it, it is about posession, not religion.)

This isn't one of the best WW2 movies, this is the best! This beats Saving Private Ryan (which for me is overrated) and whatever else WW2 movies out there. I am so sick and tired of seeing WW2 from the perspective of the good guys because it's the usual "triumph against evil" and "bravery and courage" stories; this one deals with what it feels like knowing your days are numbered. Unfortunately, very few will be interested in seeing this because it's not action packed.

Faithful to the order of the Führer were you German soldiers willing to continue the fight for Berlin, even though your ammuntion was running out and the overall situation made any further resistance pointless. I hereby order the immediate discontinuation of any resistance, every hour which you keep fighting prolongs the horrendous suffering of the civil population of Berlin and our wounded. In agreement with the high command of the soviet troops I request you to stop the fight immediatley. Weidling former commander of the defense area Berlin.

Yup I understand you, there's quite a few good books on it that I've read which literally cover ''Germany after Hitler died until the war ended", so exactly the time frame you're talking about. It's a period people don't really think about (especially Germany during the Summer of 1945 a couple months after capitulation, naturally most people gravitate toward Japan with the battle still ongoing). It's why WW2 is by far my most read subject and why I'm juggling at least a handful of books at one time on the topic, reading every day for the last 10 years. And that's just the Western/Eastern fronts in Europe, I've not even touched the Pacfic/Asia yet. Such a monumental event with literally millions of stories and (so far) on a scale unparalleled in human history. Even just reading the memoirs of regular Soldiers who embark on essentially individual missions to return home/evade capture/blend back into civilian society after the capitulation is really interesting.

i really don’t care ancient rulers of rome had more honour then hitler ever had Marcus Atilius Regulus was captured by Carthage forces during the Punic wars. He was brought before them, and was asked to go back to Rome to convince the Roman senate to surrender. If he failed, he had to come back so he could be tortured to death. Regulus agreed. He went to Rome, and did the exact opposite, not bothering to convince them at all. He went back to Carthage as promised and was tortured to death. He is now immortalised as the leading symbol of Roman virtue. Despite how barbaric the ancient times were, this is admirable. VERY admirable. Because despite knowing how torturous, how painful, how absolutely horrific is death would be, he sucked it up and showed everyone that you shouldn’t fear the enemy. He honoured his end of the deal, and yet Hitler couldn’t honour his end of the deal with Stalin when he ignored the Molotov-Ribbentrop and invaded the Soviet Union. He proceeds to loose, and instead of facing his own demise honourably like a true leader, he abandons his country and takes his own life. What a coward.

WW II was the direct result of the bastardry perpetrated on the derfeated German Rerich by the allies, especially the bloody French, after 1918. The kicks Germany received when she was down, including being blamed for the 1914 war, which Berlin did not start, led naturally to a desire for revenge and the rise of the Nazis.

So cute
According to Wikipedia Weidling was convicted of biological warfare in Belorussia in 1943/44. By infecting the local populace with Typhus he hoped to infect approaching Soviet Army troops and slow their advance. He might have had humanity for the German populace but apparently this was lacking for conquered Untermenschen.

The downfall of the democrat party
After his release from Soviet captivity in 1955, Weidling settled in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) and worked as a transport planner. He wrote his memoirs titled "The Battle for Berlin" which was published in East Germany in 1958. He died in Berlin on November 17, 1955, at the age of 64.

To the Germans it was either suicide or get caught by the Red Army. The Reds were out for blood on the Germans. Especially ones that were involved in the SS or inner circle

But they would have to in the end. The war was completely lost for the germans and the only way was to not surrender and die at the hands of either the soviets or the allies, or surrender and maybe be able to become a normal citizen.

German people would trust Hitler and his ideology, despite it's evilness on it's extermination against other people the German patriotism affects why they would support him. He changed Germany to became a powerful country who could shock the world, like what he do to rise on power he would fall down as a weakling nor already know his doomed fate according to his ideologies to protect Europe against the East Socialist Dominion. Instead of fighting to death he immediately committed suicide and all of the words and his actions as a great leader also would be all gone once the Soviets enter Berlin. Unlike Stalin Hitler never faced this kind of war before, he should known that Stalin was been sent to hardest areas of the civil war, from glorious defence of Petrograd (St. Petersburg) to Tsaritsyn humiliating tactics to a surprise victory Stalin shows that his organizing tactics would show how he was determined to fought for the Soviet people.

I suspect this was one of the reasons why so many German men continued to fight even after Germany officially surrendered. They were fighting for their homes and families and not for an ideology anymore. They would have heared of rumours of what the Soviet army was doing to the women in Poland as they were making their way to Berlin. They would mass execute the men and take their wives, daughters, mothers and do unspeakable things to them. Well if they were going to be executed anyway, might as well fight them and give your family time to escape.
