One of the most historical and brutal rulers that have come through ages, Adolf Hitler, lived ten days from hell from his 56th birthday on April 20th, 1945 to his suicide on April 30th.

As the first German-made film about Hitler's ruination since G.W. Pabst's "Der Letzte Akt" ("The Last Act" - 1956) "Downfall" is a stunning cinematic achievement that illuminates minutiae about the last 10 days of the nefarious German leader who won the h
