In Downfall, Hans Fritzsche - exasperated by the hopelessness of the situation and by Joseph Goebbels' refusal to allow a surrender - enters Misch's office and tells him to send a telegram to Soviet Marshal Georgy Zhukov. Misch asks "to Marshal Zhukov?" and then Wilhelm Burgdorf comes in and tries to shoot Fritzsche. He is last seen in the "Goebbels and Magda suicide" scene contemplating suicide, where before Joseph Goebbels and his wife Magda leave the bunker, Goebbels tells him "I don't need you anymore. The game's over," then leaves the bunker to commit suicide.
