Downfall (German: Der Untergang) is a 2004 war film directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, depicting the final ten days of Adolf Hitler's reign over Nazi Germany. There's probably now a hundred or so of these on Youtube now all using the same clip from the film with an edited soundtrack with titles usually commencing Hitler Reacts / Laments / Finds Out ................ They go back at least as far as 2009. There are a huge number related to footballin England.
