Highlights:
- The maker deserves all the applause for making it not look like 'just another film on Hitler'. He takes a very small timeline and captures details to meticulously elaborate levels.
- The person who enacts Adolf Hitler. He has done a splendid job; The characters surrounding him too are cherishably etched.
- The girl who plays the timid,loyal secretary of the fuhrer shines with her action.
- The brutalities are shown in a way acceptable by all types of viewers.
- The final scene of liberation of the child & the girl - poetic.
