Just to add, I think the only people you are supposed to empathise with in 'Downfall' are the innocents like the poor brainwashed Goebbels kids, or the cluelessly loyal secretaries, or anyone that had a shred of care for the safety of other people. They deserved a chance to avoid being a part of that catastrophe.
BTW, of all the Nazis who deserve a special corner of hell, I hope Himmler gets the one that involves unending genital torture. The actor who played him in 'Downfall' did a superb job of bringing to disgusting life the cowardly weasel I'd read about in books. Though he was not a large presence in the film, he made my skin crawl every time he appeared.
