". . . hoping for a wealthy American collector to come forward and buy it". I think that's been the mantra for international sellers of overpriced collectibles for at least 60 years.
I owned one of the authentic SS-Begleitkommando standarte flags that Himmler's escort battalion used. I kept it in my extensive SS collection up until 2004 when a British collector "made me an offer that I couldn't refuse". The flag I owned was photographed in Holland, France, Prague and Regensburg.
This is Fascinating ....you are truly a good Historian. Thumbs Up
Another unknown nugget of history unearthed by Dr Felton. Thanks 👍
I knew the American ex-soldier who captured Dr. Ernst Kaltenbrunner in 1945. Kaltenbrunner was "SS-2." This man had Kaltenbrunner's KRIPO I.D. tag marked #2. He previously also had Kaltenbrunner's #2 marked SS I.D. badge but during time he later spent in India, a Jewish man he met in a restaurant asked to see it and then abruptly vanished taking the SS-2 badge with him. He still had Kaltenbrunner's #2 KRIPO badge when I knew him. I believe that Kaltenbrunner was Heydrich's successor, so wouldn't Heydrich have been SS-2? Or if Heydrich was SS-3 as implied here, then who was SS-2 at that time?
Excellent historical tid bit
Those Infos are incredible. You are doing a great Job!
I love these type of cars. Old cars and german uniforms are absolutily beautiful.
Great stuff. Really appreciate these tid bits of history. Especially these types of historical relics.
Odd how these videos make me feel so much closer to events of history. You get high marks from me Mark Felton.
Mark Felton vs. The History Guy in a death match, "there can be only one". Kidding, both great channels and I'm glad we have both.
Wanderer was part of Auto Union (Audi).
Not all who Wanderer are lost.
Sorry, I'll get my coat.
Planet Nine - That’s right, just as he explains in the video.
@joe jitsu In Germany, Audi drivers are called (in German of course) five zeros, 4 on the grille, one behind the wheel.
Every production, fascinating. Thank you!
I guess Audi won't reuse the name "Wanderer" any time soon...
Today I actually learned something new that I didn't know yesterday! Thanks for making these informative and interesting videos for us.
your telling of little known histories is outstanding. you equal and often surpass my other favourite historian, The History Guy. keep up the good work, and thank you, from B.C., Canada
You just have one terrific clip after another. Thanks for showing these short but informative videos.
I remember a very long time ago seeing a video on the clean up of the dresden underground after WW2. They found hundreds of bodies of those who had died as a result of smoke inhalation while using the underground as shelter (at least that’s what I remember). It’s sad, but I think it would be an interesting topic to cover. You could also talk about other similar situations where war dead were, or are, found after the conflict. Are they given military burials, are their names added to monuments if they can be identified and other questions like that.
Very interesting again Mark, thank you for sharing history with us. Love your videos
You learn more history here then in education institutions.
Thanks Mark. You continue to educate and please me. Always interesting. Bless you and yours. G
Maybe Jay Leno will buy Himmler's car
Let's take her out on the highway and see how she cruises.
Maybe he already has one
I wonder if that's what he hinted at by "Wealthy American buyer"
Why would he be attracted to it? not for the "honour" of knowing its previous sick owner, not for the vehicle as a vehicle either. Then, with men still alive who were fighting the nazi's, how insulting to them would it be for someone else like a jumped up alt right attention seeking baby white boy millennial to be driving it on the streets in the US.
I hope not a german should buy of, in my eyes its part of german history
Thank you for the such interesting and well taught videos.
Fascinating. This is great history for modelers looking for details about vehicles as well as amatuer historians. Thank you Mark Felton.
Great as always! Thank you!
If i hit the lottery, I'll buy it and put on display for free!
If I won the lottery I’d commute to work in it
I'd sell it to Jay Leno
i'd trail ride and offroad with it until it fell apart
@@JoinMeInDeathBaby he has enough shit...I want it
Flex on the Nazis by driving it to pray at the synagogue.
Very informative and well put together. Thanks.
Thanks Mark, for another awesome video. Keep up the great work !
The Wanderer models that you refer to in the video are not 'II's, rather '11's : der Wanderer W11 12/60 PS Kübelwagen, 1. Ausführung 1935-37 and der Wanderer W11 12/60 PS, Kübelwagen, 2. Ausführung von 1937-41. Also, I believe that the particular Wanderer used by Himmler must have been produced in the Wanderer factory in Siegmar (Wanderer Werk Siegmar), which is now a part of the city of Chemitz in Saxony. This is where all of the Wanderer cars continued to be produced even after coming under the Auto-Union AG umbrella along with Audi, Horch and DKW. Auto-Union did establish a factory in the Leipzig suburb of Taucha, but it produced aircraft motors for Junkers, not automobiles. I only know this because I lived and worked in Leipzig for 15 years and often had contact to companies like VEB Junkalor in Dessau, or Siemens in Chemnitz where I learned about these things. Thank you for your great work- I really appreciate how you bring the history to life!
Well I'm the type of car that likes to roam around, they call me the Wanderer.
Fantastic history lesson! I like the car, it reminds me of a posh Willys Jeep
Love the content of this channel. Keep up the great work Mark.
Your channel is very underrated. You do great work.
Great footage, and a very interesting topic.
Little known fact, this "wanderer II" was also low gravity capable. Hummer had several models on the moon that he drove for two decades after the war.
Auto Union built Himmler’s Wanderer , Auto union is what we know today as Audi.
Another geniun exotic footage.. Keep it going
Your himmler videos always make my day better
MysteryFan If you were in those circumstances of being captured & having lost everything family, people & job & dreams & then lets see if you would do anything different....
Just discovered your channel. Excellent. Very professional commentary.
I KNEW I recognized your voice from somewhere. Wow, it’s crazy to put a face to the voice you hear from documentaries.
Great episode
Thanks MARK
The NYPD uses car numbers to identify its ranking officials as well.
SS1 would definitely be turned down by the DMV if I mentioned it was a reference to Heinrick Himmler.
Great videos mark,love them.
Your channel is so f*cking good, wish you all the success that awaits.
I was always curious as to what Himmler talked about with occupants in the camps
Cool. Imagine driving around in Himmler' 'Wanderer'.
LOVE THESE VIDEOS
I just looked through your Playlists and subbed right away, this channel will keep me stimulated for a good while now. Thanks Mark, really interesting stuff... What about a video about the origins of the VW Beetle or maybe Ferdinand Porsche himself ?
Nice video as always
Would love to see it in a German museum.
Those Boss uniforms. Stunningly beautiful.
Now I know what to name my new plate
🖐🇵🇹
Your research and delivery are flawless. Do you also record audiobooks?
The prisoner at 1:37. I wonder what happened to him afterwards. Such courage to stare at the highest ranking chief of the extermination, while the guards are watching. I wonder what the other prisoners thought when he stood there?
Why are we able to be so cruel to one another?
I love these old Mercedes cars from "my" ancestor generations...!
Excellent Episode Indeed , will have to open me piggy bank to add this one to my collection!
$550,000? that's too damn much, no wonder it's still on sale.
Thank you Mark. An other great video. *****
Armoured with bullet proof windows.
Drove around with the roofs down.
Yes, a grenade got Heydrich
Great video!
May 14, 2019---Thanks for the video, but gotta wonder....when is Tamiya, Dragon, etc. going to release this as a 1/35th scale kit?
I was born in Mettmann! It's located between Düsseldorf and Wuppertal, so it's West Germany, not North Germany. This was really interesting. I had no idea that "Reichsheini" had so many different cars.
Thanks for all the great videos! Some Cold War nuggets would be interesting too :-)
Great video thanks for sharing
I love your little history snacks...
Another great video
fascinating little gems as always
I always remember when I was in elementary school student watching the history channel when it was nicknamed the Hitler channel for it main focus on Hitler life and ww2. Hitler was obsessed with cars and races. He pushed for the creations of the Volkswagen or the people's car based on Henry Ford mass production who supported Hitler.
Great presentation.
Luv to watch ur videos very informatics, luv from karachi Pakistan
A great video, and even Latvia was mentioned.
This was one of the main reasons SS Cars changed their name to Jaguar, if I'm not wrong...
Might be good to give this some context......the British car company that previously went by Super Swallow (SS),.....morphed into SS-Jaguar, and then Jaguar. I always wondered how the US company Chevrolet got away with their variety of "SuperSport" or SS models of the 60's.....just WHAT were they thinking??
Dominic Porter I would bet the farm that you’re mistaken. Yeah, just came from Wikipedia. SS stood for Swallow Sidecar Co. Want more? Read the Wiki article.
*I saw a video of some guys assemble this car from total scratch in less than 5 minutes, and drove it.*
Awesome vid!!
First! Keep up the good work Mark!
Only 63 HP, yet they got around so well.
Thank You for the History Lesson
Please do a video on the air battle between a US Navy plane and 3 Soviet MiGs over the Bearing Strait in Alaska in 1955.
Love this car series :D I wonder whos next 😋
SS-1 would indeed be a cool vanity plate.
Yes. Make one.
Love the videos. 100 points out of 100 points. 👍👍👏💪🙋🍻
Very nice mark👍🏻🇱🇺
Wld love that in my collection of KDF and Trabi.
Very good Doc.
Can you do videos about underground and partisan groups and operations? I think it would make a great series. You mentioned the SS3 assassination and it sparked my curiosity.
400 k £ was already a very steep price for a rather unremarkable and little known car model especially if you take into account that almost every spare part will have to be hand crafted.
So 98% of this price is down to the bloke who had himself chauffeured around in it.
Since no country in the world would let the buyer use Himmler's vanity number plates (and it wouldn't be advisable to use them), you'd have to be quite a crank to pay that - or even more...
More great quality content from Mark Felton. I really have to get a Patreon account, I want to see more of this stuff (not necessarily Nazi although that is fine too but World War 2 history). Again, good job.
Wonder why his driver isn't well known like Erich Kempka the Fuhrers driver , nice video
This is such a fantastic channel. Much enjoyed by those of us who love the history of WW2, with no interest in it's politics
Awesome piece of history. Wish I owned it.
I guess the video provides all info to find the place where the Wanderer II is stored. I'm going to check it in the next days.
Excellent video on history. I'm supporting Mark on Pateron so he will continue making more. Hope you will do the same.
Them nazis had some snappy uniforms
Himmler looks like a German Tojo!!!🤣
The Wanberer looks a lot more capable car then the Kublewagon. That always looked to flimsy to me. I believe in the film Where Eagles Dare the Kublewagons are converted Citroen 2CV's.
Just waiting for the channel to transform into a classic car channel
I love mechanical history Land/air/sea . I first ran across The Auto & Technik Museum Sinsheim and its associated Technik Museum Speyer purely by accident traveling from Paris to Nurnberg to see relatives and stopped by. We then visited both a number of times, staying in their hotel. They are absolutely unique places, I could stay there for two weeks vacation . I recommend for subscribers to check them out.
I've always wondered what Pyrion Flax' car looked like.
Another banger
A priority lottery buy, for sure, along with that Latvian museum to complete the collection. ;p
Like the rest of your fans, Mark, I relish the historical shorts you produce. I've seen clips on this channel I've not seen anywhere else.
Great video
