Another informative episode. The amount of assistance these people received and from whom is what makes it all so interesting. Looking forward to the next installment.
How these women can love these monsters is beyond me. They are as disgusting as the men they marry and I only hope Kaplar died in agony haunted by his murders. Watch the Scarlet and the Black...it is a brilliant film. It shows there was at least one Catholic priest willing to help...the rest in the Vatican did nothing...
the story of the suitcase is bullshit, it was the usual catholic/vatican ring that arranged it, I am catholic technically in reality I load the catholic church and vatican (a liberal center right atheist at heart really), christian democratic parties were both ruling Italy and the souther landers of Germay, Bayern and Baden-Württemberg (with storng influence over the national govt), so catholic antisemitic politicians and priests, Germans (who requested the return of their old boy) and Italians (who conceded it), who belived that the NOT SOLDIER BUT COLDLESS BASTARD MURDERER KAPPLER had the right to return to his home, welcomed and cherished by his community... All very disgusting and shameful really. Escaped in a suitcase...in Rome everybody knew it was all a set up. Again all very disgusting, a few more should got hanged or perish as they murdered, instead they got a second chance, damm those who gave it to them and who today think it was just after all...
Yes, I second this. His artwork is actually not bad, maybe it’s not one of the greats, but there was potential, or I think so at least. Oh what could’ve been if H**ler become an artist or architect.
I remember a year ago there was this random WW2 documentary playing on a TV channel and Mark Felton made an appearance in it via interview. My mind was blown.
Perhaps it would fund more traveling footage paired with commentary. Felton, we must remember, does post a lot already; I'm not sure if it would increase much.
Corruption has tentacles everywhere. Mr. You bring to light so many other facts that still raises our curiosities and I think we all you should make a full story on the Big Rats of the RATLINES. Would you please. Thank you.
The role of the Catholic Church is complicated. Firstly, after WW2 , there were millions of people displaced, without any ID at all. They were far from their home countries. So the process was started by the Catholic Church to make "refugee visas" for people to go places.Nazis in hiding claimed to be fake persons and applied for these visas to go to SAmerica. So on the surface, you see a "refugee visa" allowing some nazi fugitive to get to Argentina. And it is easy to say "the Catholic Church whisked them there." But the reality was more complicated.
Thank you Dr. Felton. Has always been my dream to attend college. A bit late for me now. My old lady self enjoys a most informative lesson everytime you post. I likeky would not have appreciated you back then anyways, best to learn from you now. Thanks Professor.
Interesting and informative. Excellent photography Job enabling viewers to better understand what/whom the orator was describing. Class A research project!!!
When I first saw the title I thought " I know all about this story. Mark can't have anything new". WRONG. Mark uncovered a LOT as usual. This is a excellent episode !
I remember the original Sam Donaldson broadcast/episode of Priebke's street interview . He was so smug when Sam cornered him and asked him questions on the street. Priebke's nazi buddy in Argentina actually ratted out Priebke's location on camera to Sam Donaldson on the street,, then they went and found Priebke on the street. The story of the news team and nazi hunters that smuggled into Argentina with Sam is a huge one as well.
@@heyabusa1 So many of these ex-Nazis worked as engineers within the South American car production industry, particularly VW in Brazil (& their supply chain) & the numerous major U.S. car manufacturers' plants in Mexico, well into the 1970's... The phrase ''hiding in plain sight'' comes to mind....
Yet, another rat liner. What a surprise he was welcomed with open arms in Argentina! Thank you for yet another superb story Dr. Felton. Too bad the clergy were never held culpable for these crimes of aiding and abetting murderers.
Pathetic how all these murderous cultists wormed their way out of justice and hid like the spineless sycophants they were. Love this channel. Thanks Mark for being the purveyor of truth and exacting history.
They said Kappler underwent quite a transformation while in prison, having converted. His step son has been on record quite a bit on how they orchestrated Kappler's escape. Kappler didn't live too after his escape, but was diagnosed with terminal cancer before the plot was hatched. That caught up with him just 6 months after the breakout from the hospital.
To be fair a number of Catholic priests were killed by the Nazis also. So it was not a one way street. However some were indeed affiliated with the wrong side in ww2, most notably the Croation Catholic church who supported the Nazi allied Ustashe Croation regime in the balkans as they massacred countless thousands of Orthodox Christians simply because they were not Croatian and not Catholics and because they were orthodox Christians. Many Orthodox Christian priests died in the struggle against the Nazis and did much to help the fight, one of the most notable examples being an Orthodox Chuch in Prague who helped to hide Czech/Slovak anti-Nazi resistance fighters in a tunnel hidden under the church. They knew the Nazis would eventually find it and there would be serious consequences but they knew helping the resistance was the right thing to do. The Nazis raided the orthodox church in 1942 and there are still bullet holes that can be seen at the church today from that battle that the church purposely left there as a sign of remembrance to those who died.
I’ve heard people say “oh, they’re old,. Just let them be.” My response is to ask how many elderly people do you think this individual sent gas chambers?” Shuts them up. Crimes against humanity have no expiration date.
@T A Ha! Yes, because the Catholic Church is known for integrity, compassion, and honesty. Whether it's covering up for sexual abuse by priests or hiding Nazis, you can count on the Catholic Church to have the answers.
As a little kid I went to Priebke’s deli/butcher shop several times. I don’t remember him really. Coincidentally, the grandson of Walter Rauff (who had the same first name as his grandfather) was my schoolmate for a year. One of those weird cosmic alignment things I guess.
Reading the justification of war crimes, in the replies above, brings the present circumstances in Ukraine into focus. Thinking about the support of the church to Putin as well.
Thank you for the impeccable pronunciations of SS names and titles. Pope Pius was known as "Hitler's Pope," proper title for the leader of Catholics, enabling these criminals to escape justice!
I personally would like to know those persons, in the Vatican, who aided the allies . Like Monsignor Hugh O’Flaterhy ua-cam.com/video/Qx5tTR4jYts/v-deo.html
The Pope had a fine line he was careful to cross. Remember, he and the Vatican were located in one of the Axis countries. Had he angered Mussolini or Hitler in any way, Churches, the clergy and many church members could have been destroyed or killed.
Sad to see such pathetic and ahistorical generalizing in these comments. Catholics like Clemens August Graf von Galen risked their lives in protesting the atrocities of the Nazi regime.
"Priebkes escape from a pow camp at Rimminy was made possible..." I honestly expected "..by Audible. See the link in the description for more details." 😜
@Chad Plow Katyn is a separate story. I simply pointed out an inaccuracy in Mark Felton's narrative, usually he is very accurate. It is possible that the Germans learned from the Soviets when it comes to these vans, or they came up with their vans independently. It is a pretty simple idea/device, there is not much to invent.
I was on a large pipefitting job in San Jose, and for one afternoon, I worked with an old pipe fitter, who had come out of retirement. He was drafted in 1945 into the U.S. Army. He took the battery of tests they give each inductee, and he scored genius. So, they had him take the test again. Genius. They interviewed him. "What would you like to do in the army?" He answered, "Sleep." They made him a Nazi war criminal hunter. He said that he became an alcoholic because it was mostly boredom, waiting for assignment, and he could sleep all he wanted. He told me of one assignment he got, which was to hunt for a Nazi war criminal in either Paraguauy or Uroguay, I forget which, it's been 3 decades since I worked with him. He said his weapon of choice was a Colt .25 pistol. He could board any commercial airliner in that post-war era, with the pistol tucked in a holster which he carried on his belt, in back. He caught up to this Nazi and told him he was under arrest. The Nazi drew a gun. He drew he Colt .25 and began shooting, and emptied the entire magazing shooting the Nazi dead. I wished I could have worked with him longer, and get more info about his army training and other assignments, but that didn't happen. So many people involved in that war, and so many stories lost.
Why did so many on the cleargy of the church helped war criminals escape, if the nazis were somewhat open about wnating to remove the chruch in the long term? They believe that could repent maybe? It still confuses me why they helped them.
Mystery Babylon, The harlot riding the beast. The Nazis where doing the HRCC,s bidding, all Churches where to be destroyed except Catholic ones. Skull and Bones all secret societies are subservient to the head of the snake, the Holy Roman Catholic Church.
Simply choosing between 2 systems - one in which 'God' was somehow still protected and one that denies the existence of a God altogether - in their view choosing the lesser evil

These short episodes are good but much prefer the longer ones for when I go to sleep, once you've done all the episodes have you considered turning them into one full video?
All the way to the top also .. unbelievable that would be allowed - not like they wouldn't know what the very people they're helping to escape had done.
Mark, Grüße aus Deutschland gehen raus (Greetings from Germany), you estabilshed a well informed, If not the best available source for the details of my country and of the only undebatable world war we started that still affects people to this day.
Technically they are Vatican clergy and most of them are not Italians. Also the whole Nuremberg trials back then and even now are considered hasty and a showcase for revanchism. For example no Allied personnel were ever put on trial for war crimes, of which we can certainly argue some did commit. Not everyone was convinced that the British, Americans and French had justice on their minds.
My grandfather was a cog in the rat line’s machinery to bring Nazi war criminals over to Argentina. Mario Franz Ruffinengo, a former Officer under Mussolini worked in Genua as a contact to Nazis to get them these Red Cross visas. He later moved to Argentina himself and would open a travel agency in Buenos Aires that was very popular with a certain clientele in later years. He even published a travel guide to Argentina in German. My father doesn’t talk all that much about this part of his family history, but my grandfather probably had ties to a few really nasty criminals…
Very interesting video! Looking forward to you're books being made into movies!! I really have never quite understood any churches involvement in WW11,why would churches help Nazis?
Seriously? You're not aware of organized religion--particularly the Roman Catholic Church...complicity & involvement in the most heinous crimes and brutal genocidal regimes of world history? Very, very little of such organizations are truly invested in 'faith, charity & holiness'; its been control of people & power/primacy consolidation above all--'In Jesus Name'!
the church would do anything to stop communism, which they saw as a threat. the nazis were anti communists... so they decided genocide was the best option. never forget nor forgive the Catholic Church.
One has to be torn between frustration at how easy it appears to have been for some of these criminals with blood on their hands to escape from imprisonment and concern for the deeply stressful worry felt by their innocent children. We want them to be caught and face justice and we also want their families to have a chance at normal life. The Church and the West German government are guilty of disregard for justice. It's always the innocent who pay the highest price, sometimes with their lives, in these cruel and pointless wars. I too look forward to Part 2 of the Priebke story.
Yet, there are people who want to hold ALL relatives of ANY NAZI member guilty for what they did!!! I've seen people who want to claim Gehring is just another form of Goring, and that they are all related... BULLSHIT, they are NOT the same family, I don't care what you want to believe!!!
They most likely have not escaped the justice of the grave, inevitably old age punished their transgressions against humanity. Escaped punishment? Perhaps in the conventional sense but they still died in some measure of agony in one way or another.
Gas vans were invented by the Soviets long before WW2. "During the Great Purge in the Soviet Union, NKVD officer Isaj D. Berg used a specially adapted airtight van for gassing prisoners to death on an experimental basis. The prisoners were gassed on the way to Butovo, a phony firing range, where the NKVD executed its prisoners and buried them." "Berg was arrested on 3 August 1938 and sentenced to death for participating in a "counter-revolutionary conspiracy within the NKVD" and executed on 3 March 1939."
As a former soldier and police officer I wish I could say that the aid given by the RC church was a surprise to me but it really isn't. Corrupt and evil to it's roots.
Another very important nazi was Andrija Artuković..you should follow his escape to Ireland ..He lived for a while in Dublin after the war.Otto Skorzeny also fled to Ireland and lived in Kildare.
Yes he does imberesed us who are croatians,but trust me better story is how your queen of england was saluting nazi salute,,whine and dine with them along with all of her family,or the americans that brought nazis sry"gernan scientist" when they enter the plane,,u know who the 4 of them that made foundations of nasa and the military..but its the catolich is the problem,,there is corrupt people everywhere no matter is it a church or politicans or anything

I remember reading that Kappler's wife, even got an Italian guard to help carry the large suitcase for her, to a waiting car.

"Signora, zis suitcase is mighty heavy, what is inside it?"
"............ Dirty laundry?"
Mr.Felton, perhaps one day you could do a show on Adolf's artworks, and where they are today.
Most are owned by the American government. Who refuses to show them.
I predict a Netflix documentary for Dr Felton
Yes, I second this. His artwork is actually not bad, maybe it’s not one of the greats, but there was potential, or I think so at least. Oh what could’ve been if H**ler become an artist or architect.
I have one
I also find his art to be good and like him I don't much like abstract art

Perhaps it would fund more traveling footage paired with commentary. Felton, we must remember, does post a lot already; I'm not sure if it would increase much.
That might be enough money to explain what “escaped via the latrines” means.
Whatever forgotten history exists, Dr Felton will find it.
I doubt it. You don’t think AH did anything good?
It’s alarming that the Catholic Church would do something wrong for money , I gave up Catholic Churches when I got old enough to think for myself

The more I hear about the sickening support that the Catholic Church had for the barbarous Nazis, the more disheartening it becomes.
The Catholic Church and their clergy and their involvement across the world in child abuse is also sickening
The Catholic church are just Mafiosa in frocks
and apparently the Red Cross!
Did the catholics go to trial for helping war criminals, or everything is good because it's the church and the church is good by definition??
The Catholic church is, in my opinion, a criminal organization. Many of its leaders should be imprisoned for life.

The axis of Europe supported traditionalism which included the church. With communism on the rise all over Europe, nationalists were a better option.

The harassment of these people is unbelievable !
I know strange things happen, but could you do research on GEORGE SOROS ?
I doubt Felton has a death wish...
I bet a few guards lost their job after that suitcase escape. That is sort of impressive.
Amazing stuff. I had no idea the Catholic church was so complicit in aiding Nazis to escape.
All the way to the top also .. unbelievable that would be allowed - not like they wouldn't know what the very people they're helping to escape had done.
Mark, Grüße aus Deutschland gehen raus (Greetings from Germany), you estabilshed a well informed, If not the best available source for the details of my country and of the only undebatable world war we started that still affects people to this day.
Buenas tardes

Priebke massacres Italians and Italian clergy help him? I don't get it? Payoffs?
Technically they are Vatican clergy and most of them are not Italians. Also the whole Nuremberg trials back then and even now are considered hasty and a showcase for revanchism. For example no Allied personnel were ever put on trial for war crimes, of which we can certainly argue some did commit. Not everyone was convinced that the British, Americans and French had justice on their minds.
@@8wayz2shine to the victor the spoils
@@8wayz2shine Of course, like all the apologists for the Nazi exterminators, you completely avoid the point being made.
Those Italians were communist
Fantastic stuff
I agree with finding this SS man to face justice.

"Luigi Santa" XD Well that caught me off guard, I can't stop laughing.
My grandfather was a cog in the rat line’s machinery to bring Nazi war criminals over to Argentina. Mario Franz Ruffinengo, a former Officer under Mussolini worked in Genua as a contact to Nazis to get them these Red Cross visas. He later moved to Argentina himself and would open a travel agency in Buenos Aires that was very popular with a certain clientele in later years. He even published a travel guide to Argentina in German. My father doesn’t talk all that much about this part of his family history, but my grandfather probably had ties to a few really nasty criminals…
@@wtffrank you’re wrong, they were criminals of the worst kind and my grandfather helped them escape justice. Nothing to be proud of
Excellent.
Those priests should have faced a firing squad.
Get a grip on yourself . That’s only for soldiers . What about a bit of poetic justice and use a length of good old nazi piano wire ?
Mind boggling.
Very interesting video! Looking forward to you're books being made into movies!! I really have never quite understood any churches involvement in WW11,why would churches help Nazis?
Seriously? You're not aware of organized religion--particularly the Roman Catholic Church...complicity & involvement in the most heinous crimes and brutal genocidal regimes of world history? Very, very little of such organizations are truly invested in 'faith, charity & holiness'; its been control of people & power/primacy consolidation above all--'In Jesus Name'!
joyce keller Maybe - just maybe - because it was in any way beneficial for them
Gold !
the church would do anything to stop communism, which they saw as a threat.
the nazis were anti communists...
so they decided genocide was the best option.
never forget nor forgive the Catholic Church.
Mrs Keppler needs an entire HBO biopic
Priebke:"Forgive me father for I have sinned, I have murdered all these people!"
Hudal:"Do 10 Hail Mary's and I will give you a false passport!"
I remember this quite well
One has to be torn between frustration at how easy it appears to have been for some of these criminals with blood on their hands to escape from imprisonment and concern for the deeply stressful worry felt by their innocent children. We want them to be caught and face justice and we also want their families to have a chance at normal life. The Church and the West German government are guilty of disregard for justice. It's always the innocent who pay the highest price, sometimes with their lives, in these cruel and pointless wars. I too look forward to Part 2 of the Priebke story.
Yet, there are people who want to hold ALL relatives of ANY NAZI member guilty for what they did!!! I've seen people who want to claim Gehring is just another form of Goring, and that they are all related... BULLSHIT, they are NOT the same family, I don't care what you want to believe!!!
@@michaelmcgregor7374 Some people can be so unreasonable.
Speak for yourself. I don't think that their families deserved to have a chance at a normal life.
@@cjay2 okay edge lord
Priebke was a hero.
Beltin' Felton.
Have you been able to ascertain the motivation for the Vatican Rat Line to perform this assistance to war criminals ?
Perhaps they know something the general public doesnt. Perhaps history is written by the winners and truth is a non issue.
ceasar wright 💯So very true👌

Hitler withheld 10% of every German Catholic's paychecks and sent it Vatican, or so I've read. This could be why Vatican helped Nazis
They helped save clergy during the Spanish Civil war?
No mention of donation murderer made to church ( hopefully not in form of golden teeth )
*Justice delayed is Justice denied!* 😠😠😠
They most likely have not escaped the justice of the grave, inevitably old age punished their transgressions against humanity.
Escaped punishment? Perhaps in the conventional sense but they still died in some measure of agony in one way or another.
@@LazyLifeIFreak God will punish them.
the Vatican help so many ..
great video keep them coming
Gas vans were invented by the Soviets long before WW2.
"During the Great Purge in the Soviet Union, NKVD officer Isaj D. Berg used a specially adapted airtight van for gassing prisoners to death on an experimental basis. The prisoners were gassed on the way to Butovo, a phony firing range, where the NKVD executed its prisoners and buried them."
"Berg was arrested on 3 August 1938 and sentenced to death for participating in a "counter-revolutionary conspiracy within the NKVD" and executed on 3 March 1939."
Didn't know that, but to be honest I'm not surprised The NKVD where just as bad if not worse than the SS and Gestapo ..
stock spreading stupid nonsense. none of this is true or even logical
@@TimezOfInfamy and unlike the SS they will never be held accountable it seems.

Tukhachevski used gas to exterminate all rebels anda civilians hidden in the forest during the Tambov uprising
Wow Kapler’s wife really loved him to risk everything to put him in a suitcase and head to the Alps.
The catholic rat line makes me sick in my heart , they should have been tried and punished severely
2:10 That's Jimmy Carr ain't it?
As a former soldier and police officer I wish I could say that the aid given by the RC church was a surprise to me but it really isn't. Corrupt and evil to it's roots.
im beginning to agree with you.
the church choose to aid and abet genocide.
Love this channel!
Another very important nazi was Andrija Artuković..you should follow his escape to Ireland ..He lived for a while in Dublin after the war.Otto Skorzeny also fled to Ireland and lived in Kildare.
Ireland was neutral.otto skorzeny was still living the high life
Yes he does imberesed us who are croatians,but trust me better story is how your queen of england was saluting nazi salute,,whine and dine with them along with all of her family,or the americans that brought nazis sry"gernan scientist" when they enter the plane,,u know who the 4 of them that made foundations of nasa and the military..but its the catolich is the problem,,there is corrupt people everywhere no matter is it a church or politicans or anything
