Who was/is best?

[Jon. H]

Ok guys, who do you think was the best actor to play Himmler, Hitler, Göring, Goebbels, all of those guys?

I'll start with Hitler, of course Bruno Ganz in Der Untergang

And then Himmler, i thought about Ulrich Noethen, also from Der Untergang.
But i must say i really admire Donald Pleasence, so i'll go for him. Eagle Has Landed (1976)

Not to bad, Hein Riess as Hermann Göring Battle Of Britain 1969

Battle of Britan is a great movie. I like it a lot The best Göring could be Brian Cox in Nürnberg even though I believe there are a few historical mistakes in that movie about his character.

Bruno Ganz is without doubt the best Hitler in my opinion too

Not one of the guys in question but Anton Differing always played a German Officer in many war films including "Where Eagles Dare" and " Heroes of Telemark"

Bruno Ganz played a very convincing A. Hitler, i really enjoyed Der Untergang, especially because everything is in German in contradiction to many other WWII in which Germans speak english.
Ulrich Matthes and Corinna Harfouch were amazing in playing Joseph and Magda Goebbels. They both were very moving, i had trouble holding my tears in when Magda basically begged A. Hitler to not commit suicide.

Bruno Ganz in Der Untergang the best played Hitler till today.

Will be very hard to beat that actor in that role.
