Downfall is one of the better WWII films. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone interested in the subject of Hitler's final days.

But it were the memes that made Ganz famous.

Simply an excellent movie. Ganz will live forever, though probably not as he would have preferred.

Then it's time for one last, final Hitler video en memoriam:

"Hitler learns that Bruno Ganz has died."

RIP.

So where is the meme about Hitler finding out that Bruno Ganz is dead?

Downfall was a spectacular movie. After seeing it, my high school aged son said ‘I can’t believe the secretary was supportive of him’. I could only say that she was likely unaware of what he actually was like and that he treated her well. That movie has stuck with me for years.

An interview on Youtube with the actor Bruno Ganz talking about Downfall and the parodies, and it takes awhile but it eventually becomes apparent that the English subtitles to the interview are also totally made up and just as silly as the Downfall parodies themselves.

RIP Ganz

Haven’t seen Downfall, but have seen Bruno in other things, and he will be an immortal actor for me for having played an angel in one of the greatest films of the 20th Century, Wings of Desire.

I am truly sorry to hear this. He gave one of the finest performances concerning the person of Hitler ever filmed.

Yes, they were parodied but that is because they are so moving.

To the Ganz family: Condolences, sorry for your loss.

What!? No!

He was also a scientist in the 1978 movie Boys from Brazil

Cloning - The Boys from Brazil

(A movie, which was not so ironically about Cloning Hitler)

Downfall is a great movie and Ganz was great as Hitler.

He has been in a ton of movies and he was truly a great actor.
