Translations are never literal but if anybody is interested to learn about this particular line, Burgdorf doesnt exactly say he cant permit Hitler to insult the soldiers. He expresses "My leader, i cant let it happen , you (insult) soldiers that bleed to death for you". Due to differences in word order, this (unfinished) line wasnt translated more accurately. So the emphasis is less on the insult itself but on pointing out how these men die, possibly even right in that moment), sacrificing their lives for the leader.

the chief of army general staff in the Heer directly commanded and led the general staff of the ARMY only. they were second in command to the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and Hitler took the position for himself in order to gain more control. the chief of the army personnel office was in charge of managing the personal matters of officers and officer cadets in the army. the chief of operations staff assisted the chief of the armed forces high command and was responsible for overseeing all operations of the entire military. he was also the one who would usually succeed the chief of the armed forces high command. the chief of the armed forces high command is obvious, he commanded the entire high command of the armed forces which in turn managed all affairs of the military/

Part of Hitler's climb to power during the Beerhall Putsch period included a time he held a gun to his own head and threatened to kill himself if he did not get his way, the other members relented and his mad climb to power continued. He was ALWAYS a suicidal agent of chaos and pain.

Himmler was a coward who was trying to secure an out for himself. With Hitler trapped in Berlin and communications breaking down, Himmler tried to assume the position of leader of the third reich in his stead. His argument to the allies was basically that Stalin wasn't going to stop until he controlled all of Europe, which is kind of an ironic plea considering how the war started in the first place. The allies didn't bite, and Himmler attempted to go into hiding. When he was caught, he committed suicide by cyanide capsule.

Ganz's performance is the greatest of a historical figure in film history. I saw the film in a theatre and the whole audience was terrified when Ganz exploded into this epic tirade. It's a riveting, brilliant, 3 dimensional performance and a fantastic film.
Thank you for this breakdown of that scene. I've seen that seen a dozen times in various memes where people have altered the subtitles, but I haven't been able to see the original, let alone with pointing out how historically accurate this all was.

German spelling is largely consistent, the issue is that the German language contains many phonemes that native English speakers don't know. So for someone to put in the effort to try to learn those phonemes just for a few names is impressive. The reverse is of course true as well, and many native speakers struggle with English language phonemes (and spelling as you pointed out, even if your examples are a bit strange), zats vy such a fing as the klishee German akzent exists. But more of us are learning English and inevitably getting it right than Brits are learning German.

In the sequel he manages to form an army of zombies (made up from young and old people but no one in between) keeping everyone out of Berlin while not attacking the city itself. Now the German army has to fight its way into Berlin through the Steiner zombie army in an ironic twist of fate. Part 1 will be titled Steiner's Ghost Division, part 2 Steiner's Zombie Army. This should be made into an anime by the people who made Tanya the Evil.
