Gotterdammerung Comes to Husky Nation

I wasn't going to post this. But after so many of my, let's just call them "friends", who did not go to the University of Washington sent the infamous Hitler Husky YouTube clip to this Dawg fan, my resolve melted.
Viewing the clip for the eleventeenth time, the one thing that needs to be said is that during the Battle of Berlin, the Germans at least knew how to play defense...
(For the amateur historian types, and to cut off the Internet nitpickers, much of the Nazi defense of Berlin was actually led by SS Divisions comprised of Danish, Norwegian and French volunteers).
Extra: The Bunker scene in question comes from the excellent 2004 German movie "Downfall" or "Untergang" which is based on the memoirs of the Fuhrer's secretary, Traudl Junge. Other than "Das Boot", it is probably the best World War II flick told from the perspective of the badguys.
Variations of the video have gone officially viral for many moons now with dozens of imitators showing Hitler ranting about Twitter being down, Vista, getting banned from World of Warcraft, and having his car stolen. Apparently Adolf isn't a big fan of Ford Mustangs.
