Eva and Magda write their letters



The Eva and Magda write their letters is a scene sometimes used in Downfall parodies.

In Downfall
The scene takes place on the 23d of April 1945 in Berlin. It shows Magda and Eva writing letters (Eva to her sister, Magda to her son). Eva starts by telling her sister that it could all be over at any time. She also tells her that Hitler seems to have lost faith. While Eva writes the letter, we see various short scenes, such as Haase and Schenk operating and Hitler shaking Jodl's hand. The scene switches to Magda's perspective, who isn't sure the letter will even reach her son. She informs her son that she has stayed with Goebbels, despite him (Goebbels) being against it. She moves on to talk about how a world without the Führer and National Socialism is not a world worth living in, and how she wants something better for her children. She stops writing and smokes a cigarette. While she wrote, Hitler was seen by a fire, where documents were burned.

In Downfall Parodies
The scene is rarely used in parodies, but Untergangers such as Soalric Parker has used it.
