The scene begins with Hitler in the dining room of the Reich Chancellery shaking hands with many Nazi officers. Traudl and Manziarly, while standing by and looking at the formalities, gossip about how the officers are hurrying to leave Berlin. Hitler declines from conducting politics, saying he's sick of it and that there will be plenty of politics after he's dead. Himmler is confused, but Hitler assures him that everything will be alright. Hitler departs, leaving Himmler who salutes him in an apathetic way and begins to nod nervously.
