My rusty recollection of the movie and the language of Goethe and Schiller:
First, one guy briefs Hitler on Allied troop moves into Berlin.
Hitler says they will be taken care of when Steiner/Steuer?'s troops show up.
Everyone goes um... Steiner... wasn't able to rally any troops.
Hitler orders everyone but a few to leave. Then he flips out. He screams that he gave Steiner an ORDER goddamnit!, everyone has been lying to him, all the officers are cowards and traitors unworthy for the proud German people (the brownshirt objects saying he won't allow Hitler badmouthing his colleagues like that) and he should've had all high officers executed a long time ago like Stalin did (actually made me laugh when I saw the movie). He should only trust himself, it was HE who conquered Europe. The traitors will pay with their own blood. Then he calms down, says it's impossible to do anything during these conditions (surrounded by idiots) and that the war is lost. Then he sort of dismisses them.
It was truly the dramatic peak of the movie, because up until then Hitler had been really optimistic in spite of how bleak things looked. Awesome movie, I heartily recommend it, not just to WWII buffs.
