I didn't even know Hitler was alive!

On the other hand, Hitler must be embarrassed that this association has come to light.

Never thought I would feel bad for Hitler.*

Is it available dubbed or with the correct translation? I know enough German to know those subtitles are a bit off.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downfall_(2004_film). The subtitles aren't even close to the actual dialogue but these scenes have been dubbed over and over to greatly entertaining effect. If you search Youtube you'll find lots of "Downfall" parodies. It's actually quite a good movie.

if the people who filmed that original scene are aware of how famous it has become because of people rewriting the subtitles for humorous purposes.
