Who was/is best?

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)

And again...I agree on Donald Pleasance as Himmler. Somehow he was able to display the inner brooding, psychopath with understated ease!

Thank you and i agree, he captured Himmler so well! When he sits there behind his desk laughing, almost scary....

Absolutely...Bruno Ganz gets my vote. A remarkable performance.

All honor to Bruno Ganz, but no one can portrait Hitler, or should I say Hilter, as John Cleese. This gotta be the most accurate interpretation of the Führer

Yes he's clear about that, it's not Hitler but Hilter.....

id say my favourite actors playing hitler are bruno ganz ('though a good number of the cast were brilliant in this) and robert carlisle; thomas kretschmann as eichmann does a fantastic job. brian cox in nuremburg does a pretty good job as far as acting goes, though ive know idea what sort of personality goring was. also ken branagh does a pretty good job of playing heydrich in conspiracy.
