A couple of the actors look like the real historical figures. A lot of them aren't even close. Traudl Junge wasn't that pretty, Goebbels didn't look anything like that, they didn't even seem to try with Keitel and Jodl. They did get Hitler pretty damn close though, which I suppose is what really matters. And Bormann they got dead on.

Bormann was a dead ringer, Hitler was pretty close, the rest of them? Nowhere near. Especially Keitel and Jodl. And Goebbels was very distinctive and creepy looking, the actor they have is also very distinctive and creepy looking but doesn't look like Goebbels.

@IrishCarney Both Goebbels and the actor looked freakish, but in different ways. Like, I could tell who he was supposed to be as soon as I saw him, but they don't look anything alike. And I thought the callous dismissal of civilian casualties rang true. It was in line with Hitler's rhetoric at the end of the war that the German people deserved to lose, and deserved the ruin being brought on them. Goebbels never had a thought that Hitler didn't have first.

@mihanich No resemblance at all as far as I could tell. I wasn't even sure who he was supposed to be until they show the pictures of the actors with what happened to the characters at the end.

@mihanich I've never seen a color photograph of Keitel, so I didn't know what color his hair was. The facial features are entirely different though.
