An excellent and realistic portrayal of Hitler by Bruno Ganz. I suppose this dramatic film does just scrape in as a boy movie with poor Peter played by Donevan Gunia going through horrors no boy should have to witness. I wonder if the ending was true where Traudl Junge goes off on a bike with Peter sitting on the handlebars?
