There's a disturbing lack of Krebs x Burgdorf content on here and I feel the need to do something about it

Burgdorf: I made us coffee. Krebs: This is just hot water. Burgdorf: I forgot the coffee part, but the effort was there.

Der Untergang (2004) - Facts and Details I

Here's something starkly different from what I usually post, but I thought about filling the silence of my blog with some tidbits about my favorite movie.

In one of the scenes of this excellent historical drama, we see how, during Eva Braun's letter-monologue to her sister, Adolf Hitler’s (Bruno Ganz) adjutants burn the leader’s personal correspondence. Otto Günsche (Götz Otto, on the right) smokes a cigarette, but upon seeing the leader, reluctantly throws it into the fire.

This directorial choice was dictated by Hitler’s real opinions. In his youth, he was a heavy smoker—he smoked 20 to 40 cigarettes a day—but decided to quit the habit due to financial circumstances. Throughout his career, he was a staunch opponent of smoking. He often expressed concern about the smokers around him, including his lover and later wife, Eva Braun. Although he did not ban smoking in the Wehrmacht ranks, he openly stated his disapproval. A quote from March 2, 1942:

"It is not true that a soldier needs to smoke to survive."

During the height of his party's rule, German doctors conducted the country’s first studies on the harmful effects of smoking, which resulted in funding and later dissemination of the findings. The anti-smoking campaign in Germany lasted throughout the National Socialist rule until the fall of Berlin, depicted in the film.

It is said that even a broken clock is right twice a day. Whatever one may say about the circumstances, the funds for research contributed to the development of medical knowledge on the effects of smoking and were invaluable for the advancement of oncology.

Manchmal denke ich, eine Spezies, die ihre Tier-, Umwelt- und Klimaschützer mit Terroristen gleichstellt, hat auch nichts anderes verdient, als ihren eigenen Untergang.

Random list of my top 5 parodies by unterganger bewegungsunFISH, for no particular reason other than she was one of my favourite creators in the community and I'm sad to this day that she quit:

Hitler vs. Hogan's Heroes

Hitler's Pirate-y Adventure (3 part series)

Goebbels Reviews - Episode 1 (kinda goes hand in hand with Goebbels Writes a Play)

Hitler Meets Krebs' Fish

Lemme Smash (Downfall Edition)

There are many more I like but I'd say these are the ones that always make me laugh the most or that I've rewatched the most often :D

By the way ... her YouTube channel may have been deleted, but luckily someone was able to recover her videos and uploaded them to the internet archive, so at least they aren't entirely lost. You can just download them as a zip file here and keep them for yourself forever <3

Also here's her old channel banner, obviously all credit goes to her (I'm generally against reposting art but since her channel doesn't exist anymore it's the only way), I just wanted to include some supporting visuals in case the name rings a bell for someone but you can't quite pinpoint it. I love her style it's so cute and silly😭

Lass mich das machen Hans

That this true to life emotional scene in Downfall was resigned to the “Making of Downfall” clips was a travesty considering some of the scenes which made it into the extended edition.

Burgdorf’s outburst of anger towards Bormann and other party leaders (and Kreb’s intervention) is mentioned in Joachim Fest’s Inside Hitler’s Bunker (2002)
