If you're interested, the film is called "Der Untergang" (The Downfall.)
It is an amazing film. VERY well done. The actor who plays Hitler does the voice so perfectly, it's creepy at times. I felt it did a great job of just telling the story without adding any political/patriotic propaganda to it like so many WWII films do... it didn't necessarily make you feel sympathy for him (maybe for the people around him), but it also didn't paint him out to be the 7-headed demon we're taught about either. It felt very documentary-like.
The only reason I knew about it was because of these parodies (The first one I saw was the one where Hitler finds out Michael Jackson is dead... I was giggling off and on for hours.) I'm glad I checked out the original, though. Germans know how to make movies WAAAAAY better than the tards in Hollywood.
