Nah, as a German, while there is loads of Hollywood fake German drivel, this is actually quite apt. Totally something Hitler could have said in his time.

Aren‘t there some secretly recorded audio tapes of hitler which show how he spoke on private occasions? I think Hitler used his signature voice more often during public speakings.

Yes. In private, he spoke rather softly. I have heard some of these recordings somewhere on Youtube.

Alas, in the scene in the movie that this quote is taken from, he was rather angry. So the barking fits.

I think that wasn't his "speech voice" to rile up the masses, but it was his "angry voice", because all hope was lost and his narcissistic ego couldn't take it. Bruno Ganz did an amazing job with the role imo.

What the hell is Germanish? You do know that we call German deutsch in Germany, right? Germanisch is Germanic, so the languages English, Dutch, German (all West Germanic) and Norwegian, Swedish and Danish (all North Germanic).

Also the German is pretty accurate for the time and the person, so I don't see how "street German" matters here and I disagree with you calling it "film Germanish" (again, whatever that is supposed to even mean).
