Well, that particular exchange was a few days off yet I think, but it’s getting close.

An excellent movie, indeed. It’s one of the few movies that I care enough about to have a copy on my shelf.

According to Wiki, it was on the 22nd...

The story resumes on 20 April 1945, Hitler’s 56th birthday, as the Battle of Berlin is under way......

The next day (the 21st) , General Helmuth Weidling receives word that he is to be executed for ordering a retreat to the west against Hitler’s orders.....

On the following day (the 22nd), General Hans Krebs informs Hitler that Berlin’s defences have further disintegrated. Hitler still believes Steiner’s attack will control the Russian charge, but Krebs and Jodl tell him it cannot be done.

What will always stay with me is the scene with those poor Goebbels’ children, brutal to watch.
