    Storyline

    Edit
    Adolf Hitler wakes up in Berlin...in 2014. After getting his bearings he is discovered by an unemployed TV producer, Fabian Sawatzki. Sawatzki thinks Hitler is some sort of performance artist and takes him around the country, talking to the general population, for a TV piece he has envisaged. Hitler, however, sees this as a chance to regain his popularity and power. —grantss

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Oliver Masucci went out as Adolf Hitler in public as part of the film's guerilla-style scenes. All reactions from the civilians were real, and Masucci improvised his dialogue.
    • Goofs
      When Hitler sees a Turkish newspaper, he says: "The Ottoman Empire managed to turn the war. I wouldn't have expected such a feat from the Turks!" However, the Ottoman Empire had already collapsed after losing WWI, being replaced by the Republic of Turkey in 1923, who did not even take part in WWII. Hitler is known to have been well aware of this fact, and some scholars even claim that Nazis were highly inspired by Ataturk, leader of the Turkish Revolution that led to the Republic of Turkey.

      Reference: "Ataturk in the Nazi Imagination" by Stefan Ihrig, Harvard Press.
    • Quotes

      Adolf Hitler: Do I look like a criminal?

      Kioskbesitzer: You look like Adolf Hitler.

      Adolf Hitler: Exactly.

    Thought Provoking But Deeply Biased
    This film is intended to be about the way modern German society deals with important issues facing them, and they way they can quickly come under the spell of a "strong leader" ETC. Unintended by the film makers I suspect, was the way the modern left exposed themselves in the way they see those who dare to disagree with their positive views on globalisation and internationalism.

    The main message of the film seems to be that those Germans (or Europeans in any European nation) who believe that Germany isn't some giant refugee centre for the rest of the planet, and that Germans have a right to their own indigenous land, not the rest of humanity, are just like Der Fuhrer.

    An example of this can be seen in real time news footage of a Swede making the suggestion that asylum seekers, heaven forbid, should actually accept the cultural and societal norms of Sweden. Oh how "Evil" of that "intolerant" man! The film is well made and funny (who'd a thought Germans had a sense of humour?) in places. But take the leftist political message with a grain of salt. Europeans have EVERY RIGHT to be concerned about their demographic integrity and migration from the developing world that never seems to cease. They have the right to be concerned about these things without being demonised as Nazis or anything else.
