 Project InPosterum: Extermination of the Psychiatric Patients
Already at the Party meeting in 1935, Hitler told Wagner, a leader of the physicians in the Reich, that euthanasia was planned to be applied in the case of war.
In February of 1939, "the Reich commission for scientific evaluation of severe inheritable diseases" was formed at the Reich Chancellory and aimed at the performing "euthanasia" of children, all of which was kept secret until 1945.
In July of 1939, agreement between Hitler, the Reich Chancellory head, Lammers and the leader of the Reich's physicians, Dr. Leonardo Conti, resulted in the formation of a strictly secret commission for the extermination of patients, directed by Philip BouhIer and called T4 (according to its official address at Tiergartenstrasse 4, in Berlin).

Born in Halberstadt[?], Germany as the son of a post-office employee, Bormann dropped out of school to work on a farm in Mecklenburg.

 NCA Opinion and Judgment: Dissenting Opinion
For the correct definition of the role of Defendant Hans Fritzsche it is necessary, firstly, to keep clearly in mind the importance attached by Hitler and his closest associates (as Goering, for example) to propaganda in general and to radio propaganda in particular.
With such concepts in ascendance it is impossible to suppose that the supreme rulers of the Reich would appoint to the post of the director of radio propaganda who supervised radio activity of all the broadcasting companies and directed their propagandistic content--a man they considered a secondary figure.
It was the activity of the Reich Cabinet that brought on the war which took millions of human lives and caused inestimable damage in property and in suffering borne by the many nations.

Goering, assuming his own succession to power on the same day, was disinherited as quickly, and Donitz selected in his place.
But the center of government and seat of power remained in the bunker under the Reich chancellory, isolated though it had been from the outside world since 22 April.
Only when Hitler shot himself on the night of 30 April and the news reached the outside world on 1 May did the military leaders dare to begin open negotiations with the Allies.

When after intense street-to-street combat Soviet troops were spotted within a block or two of the Reich Chancellory in the city centre, Hitler committed suicide in the Führerbunker on April 30, 1945 by means of a self-delivered shot to the head (it is likely he simultaneously bit into a cyanide ampoule).
When Russian forces reached the Chancellory they found his body and an autopsy was performed using dental records (and German dental assistants who were familiar with them) to confirm the identification.
To avoid any possibility of creating a potential shrine the remains of Hitler and Braun were repeatedly moved, then secretly buried by SMERSH at their new headquarters in Magdeburg.

 "Downfall" - Salon
It's a scene made infamous by newsreel footage: the last public appearance of Adolf Hitler, who emerges from his hideaway, blinking like a lizard, in the final days of the war to hand out medals to the "soldiers" defending Berlin from the Allies, most of them boys of around 11 to 14.
For all his bluster, he knows the end of the Thousand-Year Reich is very near; he emerges from the bunker as hunched and pallid as Quasimodo, his crippled left hand curled up and twitching behind his back.
Based on the best-selling book by historian Joachim Fest ("Inside Hitler's Bunker"), which accumulates all that is known about the dictator's final days, as well as the memoir of Hitler's young secretary, Traudl Junge, the film compacts the story of all the regime's nightmarish madness into a portrayal of its last 12 days.

The central thesis of Thomas's book - and the evidence for it is vivid - is that Himmler was attempting to set up a Fourth Reich outside the boundaries of Hitler's Germany.
Quite aware that Germany had effectively lost the war as early as 1943, Thomas's Himmler set about channelling the Croesan riches amassed by the SS and pro-Nazi German finance and industry into Swiss and South American bank accounts.

On that day, on 20 April 1945, 19 Jungvolk boys, summoned from throughout the Greater German Reich, were paraded in front of Hitler outside his bunker under his Chancellory.

Not slighted either are the Reich Chancellory itself (both the regular offices and the later underground bunker) and Berchtesgaden.
All-in-all, film production in the Third Reich not only contributed little or zero to the historical development of filmic artistry, it was actually a blot on that development, just as National Socialism itself was a blot on Western civilizational progress.
Already in 1969 David Stewart Hull in Film in the Third Reich could not, even while dutifully inserting some of the standard disclaimers and clichés, hide his admiration for much of what he was describing.
