The casting is astonishing. Every actor looks just like their character.

[@IrishCarney]

Ganz didn't look enough like Hitler. Ganz had a rounded, rumpled, pug-nosed face. Hitler had a long thin nose, and an almost gaunt face with sunken cheeks. Hitler was also famous for his startlingly blue hypnotic eyes - they didn't even bother to give Ganz blue contacts.

[@gasbaroni]

@doom. Give him a break, jesus christ, he probably reads alot of history..

[@gasbaroni]

​@doom. I find it weird that you draw paralells between his knowledge about Hitler and his political persuasion on a history channel. I don't agree with it being historically irrelevant, his eyes might have had something to do with his ability to persuade or charm people, and to me, that's interesting.

How do we know he did phenomenally? I’m not saying he did bad, and he played it passionately, but he’s playing the role as our interpretation of him is. We don’t have video sources of how his outbursts were, or how he even acted, just the word of those who ended up despising him for incompetency

[@TheGreatWar]

yes, this was something we noticed too

[@PcGamerify]

The actor who portrayed Jodl was the only general that I would say wasn't really resembling him because he appears to be complely bald and overweight and Jodl in real life was more slim but did have thinning hair. 3:23

I like the scene when Keitel goes to the Russians. This small bit hints what happenened before the war.

[@MrEvanfriend]

Bormann was a dead ringer, Hitler was pretty close, the rest of them? Nowhere near. Especially Keitel and Jodl. And Goebbels was very distinctive and creepy looking, the actor they have is also very distinctive and creepy looking but doesn't look like Goebbels.

[@84sp84]

Evan Friend I agree on Jodl, but the man portraying Keitel is very close in my opinion. Also the actor playing Bormann is much too heavy, although he does facially resemble him.

[@Ballbusteress]

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.

Traudl Junge wasn't that pretty, Goebbels didn't look anything like that, they didn't even seem to try with Keitel and Jodl.

@Arnold Squirrel Can you say Shibboleth? :) Such a silly thing to bring up here. 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.

They underestimated the fighting capacity of the Red Army, and paid the ultimate price. Added onto that, the fantasies of oil and food that seemed to rest in the vast lands of the USSR were a pipe dream.
