"The cast and crew drove across the country, having Hitler interact with ordinary people. Most of these people react to the sight of one of the 20th century’s vilest leaders with excitement and amusement. They pose for selfies with the feared Nazi leader and perform the famous Hitler salute for him. Even non-European immigrants seemed to be happy to see the Nazi leader, Wnendt said, because “they probably learned about history a little differently.”
Wnendt said that his producers asked him to include more negative reactions in the film, but they couldn’t — only two people responded negatively to Hitler during 300 hours or so of filming. One negative incident, Wnendt said, was when Hitler was driving through Kreuzberg, a Berlin neighborhood known for its leftist leanings, and a man ran over and ripped his hat off. While that scene was not included in the film, another was: In the Bavarian town of Bayreuth, a man walks up to Hitler while he is drawing caricatures of people in a square to express his anger.

“If you put him on a T-shirt, I think people would buy it,” he said. However, while he expected to find many who found Hitler amusing, Wnendt said he was surprised to find so many people would openly express disgust with immigration and democracy.
When Hitler asked one woman where the problems in Germany are coming from, she immediately pointed to the foreigners who are arriving. Another man tells him that immigrants from Africa are dragging down Germany's average IQ by around 20 percent. “We Germans are not allowed to open our mouths because we still have that stigma,” one man said to Hitler at one point, gesturing behind him.
In one particularly worrying scene, Hitler is easily able to persuade a group of soccer fans to attack another actor making anti-German comments. Wnendt said the crew had not expected it to happen so easily and had to step in to help. “They would really have completely have beaten him up if we hadn’t stopped him,” he said. “It was so easy to get them to do that.”"
