Agreed, although the situations Ganz portrayed had a limited range (i.e. "Bunker Hitler") while Meisner and Berkoff had to cover a lot more ground. That said, I would have loved to see Ganz instead of Berkoff throughout War and Remembrance.
Berkoff got mixed reviews in his portrayal of Hitler in WAR AND REMEMBRANCE: some people thought he was excellent, others say he was too over the top. Both Guenther Meisner and Bruno Ganz are dead.@@nerva-
43:10-43:25 A lot of people don't know this, but it was Stalin not Hitler who violated the Nazi-Soviet Pact first when he grabbed the Romanian territory of Northern Bukovina in the summer or fall of 1940. That was never agreed to in the Nazi-Soviet Pact; there was no secret protocol of that pact for Soviet Russia to annex territory that never belonged to her in the first place. Bukovina never even belonged to the czarist Russian Empire. Stalin was busily reclaiming territory Russia had lost after World War I; eastern Poland; bits and pieces of Finland (it's a wonder he didn't annex the whole of Finland and make it part of Russia as Czar Alexander I did in 1809); the Baltic States; and the Romanian province of Bessarabia; but not Bukovina. This however, does not justify Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union and the cruel treatment that was meted upon upon it's people by his bloody hands.
I think Günter Meisner, although a bit stiff at times, was a much better and sinister Hitler than his successor to the role, Steven Berkoff, in War and Remembrance. The latter was playing it as a mere caricature, a yelling buffoon.
In War and Remembrance, Hitler was cartoonish, but I could understand what he was saying better, not just the subtitles, but also Berkhoff spoke a bit slower and more clearly. Neither however can match Bruno Ganz's portrayal of Hitler. Though I think Keitel, Halder, and Goering were done better in War and Remembrance partly due to the fact I made the bad mistake of watching War and Remembrance first!😡
Hitler brought death, misery and one half of the nation under Stalinism. I assume the WWII survivors of WWII in 1983 couldn't bear the sight of the monster.
Ooh wow who played Count Ciano plays in "War & Remembrance" (1988) for von Stauffenberg. and "Hitler" actor Meisner was a German paratrooper during World War II. Anton Diffring was a classy actor.
Ironically if Il Duce had continue to remain neutral,thus following Franco's example,he could have survive the war & it would have benefited Hitler as well as there would have been no need to divert Wehrmacht forces to Italy.
39:56 I think that French general or marshal was either Charles Huntziger or Maxime Weygand, the man who replaced General Gamelin as commander & chief of the French Army just as the Battle of France was ending. He looked really dejected.
Meisner was too young by five years for the role of Hitler and his face way too taut. A lot of Hitler's visitors came away shocked at the rather plain and droll expressionless countenance of the man, esp. if his mustache was overlooked. Not a very impressionable man, except when he gave speeches or went on a tirade. He was far too impressionable then.
They skipped out the part where Aaron and Natalie Jastrow were listening to Hitler's speech in which he declared war on the United States on their radio in Part 7 and the last chapter of the WoW. While it's true we only heard Hitler's voice or should I say Guenther Meisner's voice, it could've been including in this video.

il ne ressemble pas à Adolphe Hitler et le montre en permanence en train d hurlé. Bruno Ganz est celui qui l a mieu interprété et en étant très proche de la réalité dans le grand classique la chute.
Meissner was a terrible Hitler.....as bad as any English actor who played him. The only good depiction of Hitler was Bruno Ganz in Downfall because he was a German speaking German. Meissner is German but his neurotoc and much too old Hitler here is awful. Berkoff isn't much better but at least he isn't so clearly insane in the way he portrays him though again Hitler speaking English never works....
Meisner portrayed Hitler a lot more accurately than the other guy, but Bruno Ganz was the most convincing.

I thought Ian McKellen did a great Hitler in the TV production "Countdown To War".
AGREED.
After seeing the performance of Bruno Ganz as Hitler all others fail in comparison
Saw the original run of winds of war in 1983 started my love of history
I just wish they would have continued with the whole cast into war and rembrance
All I can think about when I see this Hitler is that this is Slugworth.

Yes, Steven Berkoff made a funny looking Adolf Hitler
For this series, he played Adolf in the French comedy Ace of Aces (1982) with Belmondo and in "inside out" (1976) with Telly Savalas.
@@rolfagten857 And also in an episode of 'Churchill: The Wilderness Years'. Pity they didn't invite him back for 'War and Remembrance'.
Steve Berkoff was better.
I remember watching this...I think 1983? It was a terrific series
Thanks for those scenes. The Winds of War German Version has cut out all hitler scenes.
Of course it has 🙄👏
@@bradanklauer8926 They even cut out the Mussolini scenes.
What a shit editor 🤦🏻♂️
@@antonius521 WTF 😂.

Diffring played Heydrich in "Operation Daybreak".
28:59 Epic line

*nothing happens*

38:49 I'm glad they showed this scene. France did alot to humiliate Germany and in a way created Hitler.
39:56 I think that French general or marshal was either Charles Huntziger or Maxime Weygand, the man who replaced General Gamelin as commander & chief of the French Army just as the Battle of France was ending. He looked really dejected.
43:53 when everyone in the room is thinking what an impossible task he has cooked up but dont dare to say it loud.
They forgot Rommels conversation with Hitler and the meeting of operation case white
28:59 top 10 epic moments

Hitler just said the nword
😢
🤣👍
Damn The Führer Said The N Word
Can you do all of Hitler’s scenes in War and Remembrance please
There is one
Meisner was too young by five years for the role of Hitler and his face way too taut. A lot of Hitler's visitors came away shocked at the rather plain and droll expressionless countenance of the man, esp. if his mustache was overlooked. Not a very impressionable man, except when he gave speeches or went on a tirade. He was far too impressionable then.
Grossadmiral Erich Raeder nunca usó bigote, no tenían una foto antes de elegir a los personajes que interpretan 🧐
I don’t know how many times I laughed at this
42:32 yeah Adolf I'm thinking your crazy.
31:00 this is a great sequence
His hair is too long. But he’s good.
Voice of William Conrad?
The narrator? That's William Woodson, arguably most famous as the narrator of The Invaders.
Georing was a fool
They skipped out the part where Aaron and Natalie Jastrow were listening to Hitler's speech in which he declared war on the United States on their radio in Part 7 and the last chapter of the WoW. While it's true we only heard Hitler's voice or should I say Guenther Meisner's voice, it could've been including in this video.
This isn't how Hitler was in person listen to him talking in casual talk he's not like that
There's audio of him talking with Finnish Leader Marshall Mannerheim, in his normal voice, his voice was deeper than I expected.
14:25
I have yet to see a decent film of Hitler and the Nazis come out of America.Not one.
Mocking the german empire, france got a comeback 😂

Bad history too.Hitler didn't stay at Compiene for the surrender to show his contempt for the French....many inaccuracies in this series.
Hitler barely stayed in the train car😂. He was in and out
Sadly, he does not look like Hitler
This is scary , I can imagine Trump yelling this out after the onslaught of millions and the destruction of our Country.
It’s his fantasy and the fantasy of his sycophants.
Moronic comment.
Oh, I don't know. Seems your Biden is doing quite the job.
Who's the awful narrator?

most depictions of hitler were awful until ganz. Most were cartoonish. David Bamber in Valkyrie I thought was ok. But he didnt get much screen time
For an English actor, I thought Ian McKellen did a good Hitler in "Countdown to War".
Reminder to you Hitler lovers, Germany lost the war real bad.
So trying to bring him back won't work.
Da sind geschichtliche Fehler drin ohne Ende ☝️
