Fegelein and Friends

Fegelein and Friends is one of the scenes used for Downfall parodies. One of the rarer ones, it's sometimes used for more detailed issues.

In Downfall
The scene takes place sometime after the Original Bunker Scene. Burgdorf asks what would happen next now that the war is lost, and Fegelein responds they should end the charade. Keitel objects, and goes on to say there will be no more November 1918-like surrendering. However, Fegelein counters by informing them that Hitler told them to do what they want, assuming that he doesn't want to rule anymore. Burgdorf then states that nobody can replace him.

Krebs the tells that Hitler was only confused, but he'll recover. Fegelein objects to what would happen after that. After a brief silence, Krebs continues to build on Keitel's point that Hitler never intended to surrender, and tell that they owe it to him. Completely angered, Fegelein thinks they're hollow phrases, and slams his fist on his palm while telling them they have to do something, or it would be too late. Burgdorf angrily states that's he's only looking out for himself, and Fegelein tells him to mind his words. The scene ends with Keitel, Jodl, and Krebs leaving, with Fegelein staring.

In the Parodies
This scene is commonly used for interactions between the generals and Fegelein, especially because he rarely appears in the rest of the movie. Some situations include: why Fegelein pulls antics, Fegelein mocking Krebs' map-pointing, and so forth.

Benad361 uses the part when Fegelein claps his fist on his hand for the Fist of Mass Destruction.
