In case this stuff matters: I do not own the copyright to this film, it is the sole property of its producers etc. etc. etc...

This is just the famous bunker scene that everyone has seen some permutation of but with German subtitles. I couldn't find any other video like it on YouTube, and made it for ArtieTSMITW (Brandon Hardesty) and sent it to him about a week ago, but since it's not available on YouTube I figured why not upload it?

INFO ABOUT THE VIDEO:
I did take 3 years of German in high school, but I'm not nearly fluent enough to have made these subtitles by myself. I basically snooped around the internet and was able to find actual text files of the subtitles, so I just found the appropriate scene, edited them in, and voila.

ALSO, it's obvious to me (with my limited understand of German) that some of the less significant words are left out so it's less for people to read when they are watching the movie and they just leave the words that cover the main point of what they are saying. For example at 1:36 when the officer starts talking ridiculously fast, the subtitles I have are clearly not everything he is saying. If you are fluent in German and know everything that he's saying, I'd definitely be interested to know. They do that sort of thing in English movies that I've seen a lot, so I guess German is no different. Maybe I'll make a new one.

Enjoy!

  • at 1:37 he says, Mein Führur, ich kann nicht zulassen, das Sie Soldaten die für Sie verbluten.

    There were other little things here and there, but overall, a very good job

  • @airdragon91 Ah cool man! Thanks for letting me know!

  • what are hitler first two words, in 1:38, they dont sound like "Sie sind".

    Or is it because of his accent?

  • @pallavkumar95 I'm thinking Sie sind, but honestly I'm probably saying that because that's what the subtitles say, but it also makes sense contextually.

  • Thank you so much! This is perfect for someone who wants to learn German. I've wondered why there hasn't been a video on the tube like this

  • Good shit

  • @pallavkumar95 @crablord sounds like "wie steht" to me. i don't know if that makes sense, i'm still learning german. :)

  • deutsche filmkunst!

  • @mikeduplantier Thank you.

  • @ApolloWasReal - I can't comment about the Swiss German (Schweizerdeutsch) nuances of Ganz though Hitler apparently had a combination Austria/Bavarian accent when speaking normally. But it is when he starts yelling that occasionally it was a bit difficult to understand him. Sporadically, you can hear it here-> watch?v=ovhwlRkS73c&list=FLrbO­4W9NWFFfuNfCl-yZuCg&index=114&­feature=plpp_video

  • @XxCoDGOD666xX Even in English language movies with English captions, the captions are often paraphrased for brevity, so I wouldn't be surprised that they would also be paraphrased in a German movie with German captions. I'd like to read the exact German words too, but unfortunately the captions are intended for fluent speakers who are hard of hearing, not those trying to learn the language.

  • @mikeduplantier Was Hitler/Ganz hard to understand because of his regional (Austrian/Swiss) accent? Or was it Hitler's own idiosyncratic way of speaking?

  • @pallavkumar95

    He says "Nichts als Feiglinge! Verräter! Versager!"

  • nice man

  • @DarkHelmet14 That would be Wilhelm Burgdorf. It was mentioned at the beginning when they received a call from Koller.
