The movie "The Destruction of the Empire", released in 2004, is a classic masterpiece in the historical theme of the film, and many fragments have become the "source of all evils" in the ghost animal world. The "famous scene" used in the film to make ghost animals and spoof videos is Hitler's collapse and anger due to disappointment, that is, "the anger of the Führer".
The reason why Hitler is so angry in the movie is because the "Steiner" who has high hopes cannot attack in time according to his orders, making Hitler fully aware that Germany's defeat is irreparable. So why did Hitler have so many hopes for this "Steiner"?
Steiner, whose full name was Felix Steiner, was deputy commander-in-chief of the SS in Nazi Germany and a general in the Waffen-SS, and was of the same Austrian origin as Hitler. He served as the first division commander of the SS "Viking" Division, the commander of the 3rd SS Panzer Army, and the commander of the "Steiner" Army Group.
When the Red Army attacked Berlin, Steiner led several divisions that were actually fragmented and deployed on the right flank (north) of the main Soviet force, while the German 9th Army was on the left flank (south) of the main Soviet force. However, the German 9th Army was surrounded by Soviet forces.
Hitler therefore ordered Steiner's forces to attack the main Soviet army and make peace with the 9th Army. If the operation is successful, the momentum of the Soviet attack on Berlin will certainly be greatly slowed down, and the 9th Army can also break through and retreat back to Berlin, strengthening Berlin's defenses and further stopping the Soviet offensive.
But at that time, Steiner's troops were less than 15,000 men and lacked heavy weapons and tanks, and faced a million-strong, well-armed Soviet force. Steiner knew that this task could not be completed at all, and refused to carry out Hitler's orders.
Steiner was the only mobile unit available to Hitler near Berlin at the time, and Steiner's disobedience completely lost hope for Hitler. After learning of Steiner's refusal to carry out the offensive order, Hitler personally admitted for the first time that Germany had been completely defeated.
