Downfall, directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel and released in 2004, is based upon the events surrounding the final days of Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich. Formed from the much-admired Third Reich historian Joachim Fest’s book Inside Hitler's Bunker and bolstered with the naivety encapsulated in the memoirs of Traudl Junge, Hitler’s personal secretary, the film is testament to Hitschbiegel’s ability to blend both a strong semblance of historical accuracy with a gripping and fear-provoking insight into the final days of the Nazi elite. The main characters are Adolf Hitler (played by Bruno Ganz) and Traudl Junge, (played by Alexandra Maria Lara). The film is set inside both Hitler’s Berlin bunker and the surrounding Chancellery district in late April 1945. The film also portrays the strong emotional turmoil surrounding the demise of the senior Nazi hierarchy immediately prior to Germany’s surrender to Allied forces on May 7 1945. The film covers a range of issues including Nazism, democracy, totalitarianism, political betrayal and war crimes.Item Book Review: Well Done, Those Men: Memoirs of a Vietnam Veteran by Barry Heard(Flinders University, 2007) Karageorgos, EffieBook Review: Well Done, Those Men: Memoirs of a Vietnam Veteran by Barry Heard Melbourne: Scribe, 2007, pp. 320.Item Book Review: Radical Unionism in the Midwest, 1900-1950 by Rosemary Feurer(Flinders University, 2007) Schiavone, MichaelBook Review: Radical Unionism in the Midwest, 1900-1950 by Rosemary Feurer Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 2006, 320pp.Item Book Review: Reluctant Indonesians: Australia, Indonesia, and the future of West Papua Clinton Fernandes(Flinders University, 2007) Herd, AndrewBook Review: Reluctant Indonesians: Australia, Indonesia, and the future of West Papua by Clinton Fernandes Melbourne: Scribe, 2006, 144pp.Item Book Review: The Great Mistakes of Australian History edited by Martin Crotty and David Andrew Roberts(Flinders University, 2007) Ricahrds, EricBook review The Great Mistakes of Australian History.
