However, while he was once a formidable orator, he is so depressed that he can't speak in public anymore. On Goebbels' orders, a Jewish actor and acting coach, Professor Adolf Grünbaum (Ulrich Mühe, in his final film role), is taken out of a concentration camp to tutor Hitler.

On One Condition: Grünbaum agrees to help coaching Hitler, but on the condition that his family gets released from the camps and lives in Berlin with him. Goebbels complies.

Stock Sound Effects: One of Blondi's growl sounds when she eats the ham is the same as the Anubites in Age of Mythology and the hyenas in World of Warcraft.

 My Führer / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: The Stock Footage from June 1940 in Berlin with Hitler's Rousing Speech about Germany's victory over France to an enthusiastic crowd at the beginning is used as "January 1, 1944". The German population was in a whole different mindset by early 1944 and Hitler didn't make such speeches anymore by that time, not to mention the conspicuous absence of ruins. Heinrich Himmler never went to a frontline under enemy fire. Hitler's German shepherd Blondi is addressed to as a male. She was a female.

Driving a Desk: There's an obvious rear projection behind the car driving Grünbaum to the Reich's Chancellery in Berlin, with Real Life footage from 1945 Berlin.

 My Führer / int_a1ca3743
comment
Believing Their Own Lies: Goebbels seems to believe in his own delusional ideas about his propaganda that's aimed at triggering a Heroic Second Wind in the German population that will crush the enemy (by the start of 1944, the situation on the fronts was already verging on hopeless for Germany).

Against My Religion
 My Führer / int_c0bfb059
comment
Against My Religion: Before he meets Goebbels for the first time, Grünbaum is given a sandwich with ham and cheese. Being Jewish, he can't eat ham since it's pork and pork is prohibited by the Torah, so he takes it out of the sandwich and puts it under a rug. Then Hitler's German shepherd Blondi finds it and eats it.

Adolf Hitlarious: He's depressed to the point he needs a coach from a group of people that he hates, and he ridiculously makes Nazi salutes in his bath. In an interview, the director said he wanted to "knock the Nazis off their throne of vicious admiration".

comment
Evil Is Petty: When Grünbaum meets Goebbels, the latter asks him which concentration camp he comes from. He answers "Sachsenhausen", and Goebbels answers to him, a Holocaust deportee, that he thought he came from the "marvellous" Theresienstadt (Terezin), their "most beautiful camp" in his words.
