This movie has me torn. I love the set pieces and the acting is superb. It has this vibe of authenticity to it.
However that is just it. It is a perversion of facts. Hitler was not a psychopath openly like this movie would have you believe. He was very soft-spoken and loving to his family and friends. Why do you think he won people over so easily? He was an incredibly charismatic man. He was certainly not the psychopath portrayed in this movie.
One example I'd like to bring up is his relationship with his niece. Everything was really great about that until he had her running around in a circle and stop at his command. However the relationship they had before that is more or less how Hitler was to people he knew. Remember he LOVED people, he just didn't love what was then called lesser developed races, like the Jews. He wasn't alone in this assessment at that time. Eugenics was the top-tier science of that day, and the US and Scandinavia practiced it just as much.
Of course no one knew how far the SS would go. Before the war Hitler was loved globally, and considered a great leader; he had single-handedly brought Germany out of its debt, was the creator of the "People Wagon", ie the Volkswagen.
After the war, the greatest scientists of the Nazi party were imported to the US and created was to be NASA.
This movie is sad in how desperate they are to portray this man as an evil person. I'm not sure how much Hitler personally knew about the death-camps - it is certain that he blamed all of Germany's problems on the Jews. They had some hardcore occult / magick aspirations as well, as the symbology will tell you. BUT to portray him as just this evil psychopath like in this movie is just complete hogwash.
