This is the character sheet for the German WW 2 movie Downfall. While the movie itself is much praised, in the Internetland it's famous for the long living YouTube {{Meme}} it gave birth to: scenes from the movie are taken (sometimes edited) and given GagSub. The meme has long since started to live a life of its own, bringing forth [[TheVerse a rich universe]]. The characters in the movie and in the meme have some similar and some different qualities. This character sheet is mostly for the source movie, and tropes related to the meme only are marked to be such.
