> the crazy, delusional rants that everyone loves to make memes about actually happened I'm presuming that you're talking about the "Steiner's Attack" meme/scene from the movie. This scene "actually happened" according to Russian historians, who were writing for a single audience (Stalin). Their testimony is not to be trusted. I agree with you that its part of the historical record, but specifically part of the _RUSSIAN_ historical record. Alas, that's the breaks. Russia captured Berlin with their army before the USA/British forces could. But there's plenty of "political decisions" made with respect to the movie (ie: whether to honor the Russian telling of events, or to focus upon say Traudl Junge's book... which didn't mention this "Hitler flies into a rage over Steiner's Attack"). ------- The Goring Telegram (which was in the movie, but rarely memed) is 100% accepted history IIRC, and probably serves as a better example of how Hitler really acted.
