Hitler walks around the model of Berlin

Hitler Walks Around the Model of Berlin is the only scene from Downfall where Hitler and Fegelein see and talk to each other directly. The scene has seen quite a number parodies made out of it, as it contains, besides Hitler and Fegelein talking directly: a very exploitable mondegreen and the many possibilities of what the model could be.

In Downfall
Hitler, as he gaze upon Speer's model of Hitler's Welthauptstadt Germania, tells Speer that the bomb raids on Berlin will aid the construction of the new city, which would be completed shortly 'after the war'. He praises Speer as being a genius, mentioning the two's realization of the importance of, instead of departmental stores and skyscrapers, a magnificent "treasure house for arts and culture" for the Third Reich that would "last the millennia". He then describe the architectural styles of the future city centre, which he say the people would need. He proudly describe the whole plan as his vision, for the past as well as the present.

Fegelein, who have been watching Hitler for a distance, advises Hitler to leave Berlin in order to realize his 'vision'. Hitler falls silent. Fegelein then asks for Eva's favour to persuade him, but she is in complete support for the Führer. Traudl intervenes, saying that the Russians are getting close to cutting the whole city off.

Hitler passionately declined his secretary's suggestion, saying that he'd be feeling like a "lama priest spinning an empty prayer-wheel" - A prophesied man that couldn't realize the dream of his people. He stressed that he must "force an outcome in Berlin, or face his downfall." Traudl turned to face the floor. Hitler then turned to Speer to ask his opinion, in which he replied that Hitler "should be on stage when the curtain falls."
