I agree. I am hopeful that Dr Felton is just the the first in a line of historiographers, and that my great grandchildren will be watching World War 5 documentaries or docs about the coming wars between Mars colonists and Earth, all made by his great grandchildren.
There's a book called Windswept Lies of War, and it talks from censored history and hidden secrets to lost files and classified documents about World War II, it's the real deal.
I'm an American. I know what the world feels about us. These videos bring us together. Sad to see English speakers so divided. We all have the same country.
I have traveled the world my entire adult life. I was with a Canadian friend one time in Japan. We were with a very interesting group of European and Australian travelers. I lived there and was kinda giving the tour. They were having a blast until my Canadian friend mentioned that I am American. Some of them actually turned their backs. This is nothing new for me. This happened in Europe to me all the time. That is how I know. Good question!
It's never been easier. All the information you could ever want or need about any subject is just a couple of clicks away. If you know where to look. We are living in.the best of times when it comes to acquiring information.
Mark Felton’s videos never disappoint… he’s a meticulous researcher and an engaging narrator; Mark makes historical facts and personalities come alive (I can picture poor Col. Murphy, “frustratingly hung over” and running to the toilet every 10 minutes to relieve himself, stepping over Himmler’s still warm body each time). I’m always learning new details about events I’ve been fascinated with since I was a kid… Another great job, Mark !
As a young man i learned a great deal of this,now in my late 50s and suffering from brain cancer,dr felton has been a sanity saver keeping my brain active and my memory working.thank you dr felton
I don't pray for you. But I hope that the doctors and physicians cma what they can to save you. "2 hands working do more than 1000 clasped in prayer". Good luck, boss.
my uncle used to be super into WW2 stuff but life got a hold of him, I sent him one of your videos about a month ago and it’s been awesome to see him get back into it and talk things over with him. thanks for what you do
28:38 the fact that all this was going on, from an organizational standpoint is astounding. Not only that, to find out all this information after so many years is equally mind blowing.
While at high school in New Zealand in the 70s a teacher named major Kirk told the class he had meet Himmler at the meeting with Swedish and after failing to get anything he wanted stormed out to his car and drove straight though a hedge leaving his belt and dagger behind
Its amazing that Himmler didnt realize how much of the blame the world was holding against him personally. Once he realized this, he knew there was no escape for him. Always a pleasure Mark. Your content and details are fantastic.
BTW, during ww2 for most Amerricans the real war was the U.S. vs Japan, that was their war, the one in Europe bieng just a sideshow about which they didn't care. In fact there were many who were on Germany's side as they considered the USSR the real enemy. As for the rest of the world they considered this was a settling of accounts between White Europeans in which they didn't have a dog. But Allied/Soviet propaganda said otherwise. The same that happens nowadays with Russia and Putin. "Russia is 100% isolated and all the world hates Putin". Yeah, right.

Your videos are so high quality. They're honestly better than what the old History Channel was (in the US) 20 years ago when it was about historical education and not a reality tv network. Thank You!
Cold and rainy day here too in San Diego. What a nice treat to have such a long video to watch from Mark. You are simply an amazing journalist, reporter, documenter, historian.... I am not really sure the word to combine them all but I always look forward to your work. I grew up with my grandparents and grandpa was a wwII soldier. I have learned so much from Mark's work than any other source of wwII, and I just wish I was able to talk to grandpa about how amazing he was to just survive it. I never got to hear very much from him about his experience, but I grew fascinated by wwII and have learned so much. Thanks again.
I grew-up hearing these tales from my late Dad, a USAAC Intelligence Officer, who worked briefly for MI5 & MI3 in wartime London, before rejoining his combat unit in mid 1944. Dad never knew why he had been requested by MI5, nor why his small project was remoted by MI5 back under MI3. Dr. Felton has done a great service by finding, organizing, & preserving these sets of information for future generations.
im always pleased to watch and listen to your videos non like any other! You are not biased nothing and from such long times ago and cover ups, i couldnt imagine the work put into these kind of videos, Thank you!
Mark! This series is so rich and compelling. I'm always shocked at the events of consequence that would never cross my radar if it weren't for your hard work. Thanks!
Well done Dr. Felton. It is great having all of these Himmler stories put together. I had some driving to do today and was listening to your collection regarding this topic while I was driving. It certainly made the drive a lot more tolerable. So many times there are different theories about what happened in someplace or to someone. In the end we are left speculating about what may or may not have occurred. One thing we know for sure though is if a country locks something up in their archives there's a reason why......
Thank You, Doctor Felton, "Very Interesting" My mother was a German war bride, my Dad a former US Army WW2 POW in Germany. So I heard about the war from American's point of view from my Dad and the German's point of view from Mom. She stated of all the Nazis the German people feared Himmler the most and they all hated him. Love the channel People needed to remember the war and the high cost is lives we loss. Cheers ☕☕👮♂💂♂
By far your best series, thanks a million for putting them all in one video. I've wanted to share it with folks, and this will make it so much easier to share!
Brilliant news. I'm going to watch these again . All without the weekly wait uninterrupted . No more waiting for next weeks episde to drop . What's more I'm going to enjoy every last moment . Many thanks for your continued efforts Dr Felton . Your efforts are our viewing pleasure ❤
@user-wj6dt5bq3w QUICK, we’re on a game show, the category is fate of Nazi leaders…. They ask for Himmlers fate, I quickly answer “probable suicide in English custody”, your answer….speculation. Relax lady, I liked the video too but as I said earlier, inconclusive, so the official story stands.
To be the ideal aryan german you needed to be as blond as hitler, as tall as goebbels, and as thin as goering. Love all your work Mark, congrats on the 2m subs.
What thanks he got for his part in liberating those who were held in concentration camps …. One of the terror group leaders who approved and planned the cowardly attack would later become prime minister . I guess seeing assassins go into a hospital dressed as women and shooting paralyzed people in their hospital beds should not be so surprising.
@@horsthumbug1612 A lot of Nazis stood firm on their beliefs. Hermann Göring, Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Eichman, Martin Bormann to name a few. Himmler was the 2nd most powerful man in Germany and was about to sell out the country behind Hitlers back while the rest of the top brass were prepared to die in Germany or escape. Himmler was the definition of a weasel.
Dr Felton , you have such a way with words. I can sit and listen to your videos one after the other, thank you for all the time and effort you put into making this.
Mark can you PLEASE do a video on Audie Murphy. His story is insane and I think you’d do an excellent job conveying it and a real service to his memory.
Audie Murphy was an American GI and war hero. I’m not sure that his story is one which Dr Felton would delve into. It can be found just about anywhere (incl Hollywood)
I salute Audie Murphy, and his incredible life, but we are rich in American hero's on all forms of media. It is non-US history that is under reported in most Western sources.
Its worth mentioning this "Bernadotte" is not some random swedish guy, he is french and a direct descendant of Marshall Bernadotte from the one and only Napoleons Grand Armee except after dececting to Sweden Napoleon never labelled him a traitor, he reluctantly and delayed sending troops to waterloo towards Napoleons downfall. So this Bernadotte was an extremely powerful figure from a prestigous military family which served Napoleon Bonaparte before going to Sweden
A really great piece of detective work Mark and a mystery that will maybe never come to light until 2045 if it ever does. I guess the only good thing is that Himmler met his end before a trial at Nuremburg.
"Good" for people who were slithering around doing all manner of dodgy deals which wouldn't have done their public image much good (ie. Churchill). A little knowledge is great power, but unfortunately for Himmler, he knew TOO much and couldn't be allowed to spill his guts.
Thanks you for your video. Very interesting and informative. WWII was multifaceted with many levels. Many years ago I worked in banking. Had the privileged to meet: a CPO (86yo) that told me his first hand account of Pearl Harbor. He was onshore..then everything broke loose. A radio operator that still had classified books. A man that was in the battle of the Bulge with trench foot etc. One veteran telling me the cruiser was hit, they scrambled to throw anything that floated overboard. The ship capsized slowly that they went with the roll/hull, it stayed afloat, they on the hull, and were rescued in 3 hrs, however they were terrified that the oil all over would ignite.
I truly appreciate you bundling all these videos in to one video. Also, I truly appreciate your knowledge and the work that goes into making these videos. My dad was in the Aleutian Islands, one brother was in Iceland and the other in Italy, where he picked up a war bride. There is so much we were not taught in school and who knows what my grandchildren will learn when they get to school. Thank you again from Texas.
I watched these as individuals when you made them so good to see them all together. Always thought provoking Mark. Thank you for your excellent research. Sadly at 70 now not sure I will be around when we get access to the archives but I will try. That is if we don't find another extension magically appear!
Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen please remember to hit that Like Button 👍to honor Dr. Felton for his great knowledge of world history. Also for his magnetic method of verbalizing and translating history into nail biting stories.
Dear Dr. Felton, I love learning & have so much respect for the learned. Thank you for all the time & research you put into your videos, they make binging easy.
I think you people who are very negative should understand that Mark Felton is a very knowledgeable person. The information and history he obtains doesn't just magically appear. Have a bit more respect
Himler was as delusional as Hitler but even more of an actual coward by selling out like that. How grossly arrogant he was to think these countries would accept his offers at that point when the damage was already done.
He wasnt the first and he wont be the last .. Nasty violent dictatorships are made of dozens such unpleasant human beings.. be they Hitler's or Stalin they all have the same types and issues. And so it continues... even today.
Totally arrogant of him. That was Göring’s problem as well. He thought he could waddle in to Ike’s office and be the statesman. But Ike said, “Nope! He’s a criminal. Lock him up.” Thats how 95% of the senior Nazi leadership was.
My intuition tells me that those involved with handling the body kept HH’s teeth as souvenirs and that those teeth are still out there in private collections.
@@c_rock3512 allies hid their own crimes, but they are still war crimes. Japan and Germany's are well known for their crimes. Imo we should talk about history the exact way it happend and not let the allies hide their own war crimes.
@@NotImportantPersonNumber2 I agree but acting like each sides respective war crimes are even in the same ball park is laughable. I’d also argue the Allie’s war crimes are already talked about a lot. Things like “strategic bombing”, the atom bomb, and the widespread rape of civilians post war are all talked about in depth. The Japanese have skirted the most blame when it comes to war crimes in my opinion. They still won’t acknowledge them.
Whoa! A must watch Mark Felton video! Aren't they all! Yes! I'm typing this while only 1 minute into the video. I've watched other videos from Dr. Felton on Himmler, and it seems to me there's something Rotten in the state of Denmark when it comes to the British story of what really happened. This is going to be great! Thanks Dr. Felton!
My history lessons at Grammar School (1960s) went up to the assassination at Sarajevo so I missed out on WWII. Your videos are filling in all the history I missed out on. They are well researched and beautifully presented. Thank you.
😂😂I was wondering if anyone else noticed the McDonald’s on the map 🤣. Very funny. Not poking fun at all at the video, it’s outstanding, but that definitely gave me a laugh..😊

Thanks for combining all this into one video!
I truly appreciate you bundling all these videos in to one video. Also, I truly appreciate your knowledge and the work that goes into making these videos. My dad was in the Aleutian Islands, one brother was in Iceland and the other in Italy, where he picked up a war bride. There is so much we were not taught in school and who knows what my grandchildren will learn when they get to school. Thank you again from Texas.
Thankyou Mr Felton, an enjoyable production.
Dr. Mark Felton, you are much appreciated. Kind Regards from Stockholm, Sweden 🙂
I wish you were my history teacher, what a remarkable voice!
He is our teacher.

The finest piece I have ever seen you produce. Congrats.
These videos are the greatest to watch! Thank you, Dr. Felton for this!
I watched these as individuals when you made them so good to see them all together. Always thought provoking Mark. Thank you for your excellent research. Sadly at 70 now not sure I will be around when we get access to the archives but I will try. That is if we don't find another extension magically appear!
I did follow the previous about him that you had, But this was fabulous putting it all together in one series, One of your best
Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen please remember to hit that Like Button 👍to honor Dr. Felton for his great knowledge of world history. Also for his magnetic method of verbalizing and translating history into nail biting stories.
Will there ever be a video about Operation Highjump and Neuschwabenland?
Dear Dr. Felton,
I love learning & have so much respect for the learned. Thank you for all the time & research you put into your videos, they make binging easy.
I think you people who are very negative should understand that Mark Felton is a very knowledgeable person.
The information and history he obtains doesn't just magically appear.
Have a bit more respect
What totally compelling viewing, thank you so much Mark for all your efforts on this masterpiece of a documentary.
Himler was as delusional as Hitler but even more of an actual coward by selling out like that. How grossly arrogant he was to think these countries would accept his offers at that point when the damage was already done.
He wasnt the first and he wont be the last ..
Nasty violent dictatorships are made of dozens such unpleasant human beings.. be they Hitler's or Stalin they all have the same types and issues.
And so it continues... even today.
Totally arrogant of him. That was Göring’s problem as well. He thought he could waddle in to Ike’s office and be the statesman. But Ike said, “Nope! He’s a criminal. Lock him up.” Thats how 95% of the senior Nazi leadership was.
Thank you for making the video without loud and distracting music. Also, thank you for a very profesional narration ❤❤❤❤
My intuition tells me that those involved with handling the body kept HH’s teeth as souvenirs and that those teeth are still out there in private collections.
Allies also were barbarians. And we are supposed to think that germans and japanese were only evil.
@@NotImportantPersonNumber2 comparing puddles to oceans
@@c_rock3512 allies hid their own crimes, but they are still war crimes. Japan and Germany's are well known for their crimes.
Imo we should talk about history the exact way it happend and not let the allies hide their own war crimes.
@@NotImportantPersonNumber2 I agree but acting like each sides respective war crimes are even in the same ball park is laughable.
I’d also argue the Allie’s war crimes are already talked about a lot. Things like “strategic bombing”, the atom bomb, and the widespread rape of civilians post war are all talked about in depth.
The Japanese have skirted the most blame when it comes to war crimes in my opinion. They still won’t acknowledge them.
@@c_rock3512 russia also won't admit their own crimes and soviets were never punished for their crimes. And they were bad as japan, maybe even worse.
Whoa! A must watch Mark Felton video! Aren't they all! Yes! I'm typing this while only 1 minute into the video. I've watched other videos from Dr. Felton on Himmler, and it seems to me there's something Rotten in the state of Denmark when it comes to the British story of what really happened. This is going to be great! Thanks Dr. Felton!
The most well made documentary channel of my favorite topic.. so thank you Mr. Felton
I love a good Mark Felton video on a sunny slow day. Thanks for your continued content!
What a great story, thank you for all your research and presentation, Mark. Very concise, informative, and thrilling to listen to.
Yet another Dr.Felton Special...!Can't give "Yes" a better meaning than this. Much appreciated, Daktari (swahili for Doc).
Oy veh
It is very surprising that a movie hasn't been yet made about this. And yes, I learnt something new, as usual, Doorstep Sandwich.
Bravo Dr. Felton!
Oh man. Nothing to do the whole evening and then mark uploads the entire series. Thank you sir! Bring out the 🍿 and 🍺
My history lessons at Grammar School (1960s) went up to the assassination at Sarajevo so I missed out on WWII. Your videos are filling in all the history I missed out on. They are well researched and beautifully presented. Thank you.
Fantastic indeed, thank you mr. Felton. I'm going to rewatch
Dr. Felton is the absolute best military historian/ documentary maker!!
Thank you so much for making these into supercut vids! So much easier to watch with my friends.
25:25 Mark - "Himmler and his group then stopped at the McDonalds out at the cross road and enjoyed happy meals."
😂😂I was wondering if anyone else noticed the McDonald’s on the map 🤣. Very funny. Not poking fun at all at the video, it’s outstanding, but that definitely gave me a laugh..😊
Himmler and his group ate Hamburguer. Got it? Lol
Another full length Dr Felton documentary! I hope to see more of these.
Outstanding as always, Professor Felton. You set the bar as to which programs of this sort should aspire.
