Director
George Schaefer
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Hopkins prepared by isolating himself for days and eating only Hitler's documented diet—apples, water, and nerve-shredding amphetamine substitutes.
The real James O'Donnell, whose memoir this adapts, was the first American to enter the bunker and found Hitler's blood still wet on the couch.
