You understand Mark, this means war.
Too war!!!!!!
apple pie is good
The pig calls us to war, and we will not be found wanting
Someone's about to get Gorgonzola'd
when the pig says war THE PIG MEANS IT!
The old idea that my enemy’s enemy is my friend has got a lot of people some pretty unsavoury associations.
When is Mark going to an episode on the BFS, you know the English Nazis whose insignia included three lions on their collars and a union flag on their left sleeve. They actually fought for the Germany army. When you making episode Mark? Or does that not fit your attempted narrative? Fuckin clown.
Celtic rim still bitter about 1066 Norman conquests of how western Europe is balkanized so NATO's aggression against Eastern Europe is hypocrisy.
Scotland is a hydroelectric region critical to British aerospace
Little jimmy krankie won’t like this.
Nazis, Soviets, Peronists, etc. know how to divide & conquer to incite Celtic nationalism still bitter about 1066 A.D. when they were forced into highlands since even Foss did a cover for "Norman Conquests of 2066 A.D." of a rocket ship having backets to launch from an airship taken from an old Victorian schematic and a multistage rocket ship launched for upward angular acceleration into orbit still pertinent given how today Western Civilization is in of disarray similar to barbarian feudalist times.

Fascinating piece of history. Well done. Amazing the wondrous spins that previous 'leaders' can reveal of what now is argued as reasonable concessions.
People often forget just how sympathetic some British people could be to Nazi Germany. I’ve read a book by AP Laurie who argued that the democratic powers should ally with Nazi Germany to defeat the USSR. But also to consider if that the true extent of the crimes and atrocities of the Nazi regime weren’t fully understood. So Germany was essentially seen as just another European dictatorship helping to stop Communism.
In America one of the largest pro German groups were the Socialists/Communists. They were all in favor of the Stalin - Hitler alliance. Right up until Operation Barbarossa kicked off. Then suddenly the pro German pamphlets and posters disappeared from all their offices and meeting places. Along with a denial they were ever there.
Nazi Germany and USSR nearly teamed up apparently but Stalin wasn't giving enough of the Balkans away and talks fizzled out. And although Hitler wanted to rid socialism of Marxism, Marx himself initially thought the real revolution would come from the West via Germany as the USSR could only take things so far... But the one that blew my mind recently was finding out how close Oswald Mosley and John Maynard Keynes were. So close to their political and economic beliefs that Mosley was described as being more Keynesian than Keynes himself. Or something to that regard... anyway, fun facts!
@@LisbonLion7 Don't know where you got that "teamed up thing", Nazism was supported by powerful financial interests both inside and outside the Country to prevent Germany becoming Communist and dismantle the Soviet state from where it was being propagated. The casualties and atrocities that resulted from that were conveniently ignored. However, the cauldron of hatred that it stirred up, only served to result in its own demise, as instead of that tyrannical state collapsing (Hitler's rotten door speech) the Russian people surprisingly fought back against hatred focussed upon them directly, with millions dying in the process.
@@PopularesVox Probably a bad choice of words from me referring to the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact.
People forget Hitler was initialy pro Brit. Thousands of German troops on the table plus support for the R.N. to guarentee The Empire,which he admired. Churchill did not trust him however.
Looking forward to your video on the wide spread links between the Conservative Party and the British royal family and the Nazi party
Doesn't fit with the narrative, mate
Bloody hell Mark. Well done.
😂
In those 1930s turbulent times, Winston Churchill gave his enthusiastic support to Franco's putsch (incidently, authorised by Hitler while at Bayreuth) blaming the communists for it, in a kind of conspiracy theory... Churchill's anti-communism led him to support pro-nazi Spain as well as many other royalist conservatives. It seems that the SNP reacted in the same way. Thank you Dr. Felton for this unexpected clip.
I don't think that Spain was 'pro-Nazi'. Any more than a hitchhiker embraces the views of the truck driver. No Franco used Hitler and Mussolini to achieve his own Fascist aims. People in Britain thoroughly disliked Franco's ideology despite their own experience with the Nazis but that did not stop them holidaying in Fascist Spain in the '60's. No, idealogues are fooled into pursuing utopian ideas; all of which are impossible. From Socialism, Nazism, etc. They have NEVER worked, man is a fallen creature and needs ally himself submissively to God to sort him out.
@@guywillson1549 that's just yet another controlling ideology, just like the others in your post.
Even Gandhi praised Hitler. Time Magazine praised Hitler. Churchill himself had good things to say about Hitler. It was the 1930s, the war and the Holocaust hadn't happened yet. Hitler had a lot of good policies at this time. The only thing bad he had done was the racism, but America and England were also racist in the 1930s. America still had White Only signs on hotels, restaurants, bathrooms, swimming pools, and other such places. When the Pentagon was built during WWII, they built 4 bathrooms at every bathroom location. Male and female, colored and white. To this day the Pentagon building has 4 bathrooms side by side at every location.
@@guywillson1549 It's not a question of opinion. Spain was pro-nazi, Franco had a picture of Hitler in his office (you can check the pictures in the internet). Himmler was officially invited to visit the country, and "cultural" events were frequently organised where all the nazi flags were at display. Perhaps you ignore that there was a "Blue Division" sent to the Russian front. It is true, though, that in the late days of the war, Franco changed his mind quite opportunistically, and after the war he turned into a highly corrupted authoritarian reactionary with soften fascist paraphernalia who gave the Church an iron-fisted control of society. It was the American pressure and the economic crisis what made Franco open the country in the 1960s. By the way, the fun fact about tourism was that one of the earliest travel agencies in Majorca was run by former SS members...
@@guywillson1549 You are completely right! Theocracy is the only option !
Maybe do an article on the British Royal Family and their associations with the Nazis in Germany.
would be quite short the temporary king who was essentially exiled is the only link you've got...
@fod1855 and his Sister-in-law, the late Queen Mother, which if that article had been done is one of the Royal Family's associations you'd already know about.
@@williambelford9661Not true at all. The Queen Mother was not even remotely pro nazi, in fact she was known to toast their downfall for years post war.
@fod1855 you say that despite the photo of the Duke of Windsor and the Queen Mother teaching Princesses Elizabeth & Margaret the German Bazi salute?
@@williambelford9661purely satirical, my grandfather used to do it too as a joke
Let's not forget our 'German' Royal family was rife with Nazis, pre war.
I hear Nicola "Chief Mammy" Sturgeon has written an auto-biography entitled "Mein Kampfervan".
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am constantly amazed at how this guy manages to find evermore Nazi-based themes upon which to deliver another video.
Wow, nationalist socialists stick together. Huh.
SNP is nothing like the NSDAP
Do one of Sinn Fein and the Nazis. They still celebrate Sean Russell (killed on a U boat) and Frank Ryan. The latter was effectively a Nazi staff officer yet is simultaneously held up as an anti fascist by SF and the republican community. It's all rather odd
Funny as fuck. I've been calling them the Scottish Nazi Party for years, I had no idea!
Thank you Mark for bringing this to light.
Can't wait to troll the SNP supporters. 🤣
So the Irish weren't the only ones huh ?😊
Or certain members of the Royal Family. 😊
Given Donaldson's Fascist sympathies one might have thought he would have been dropped like a stone once the horrors of said doctrine became abundantly clear after WW2, but no they elected him leader. All this illustrates is that the SNP then and now is willing to adopt any position however loathsome to obtain their aims.
Any examples of "position however loathsome" that the SNP presently hold?
Along with most members of nobility, business owners and many politicians
Must've been awkward: The Nazis wanted peace with England so much more than Scotland ever did 😆
"We're on boord with your policy of eradicating world jewry, but wot's this extremist nonsense aboot peace with those Anglish bastards?.."
True. We should never of declared war on Germany as it was heading East completely in the opposite direction to us.
Did they?
And Welsh Nats-iz too! Read in a book about an RAF officer teaching night navigation flying over North Wales, disgusted at seeing bonfires lit on the hill tops to guide the Luftwaffe towards Liverpool, which ironically has a strong strong heritage of thousands of Welsh who came and settled in the city area.
I am no NARTZI I am from wales I did not no anything about this was
Not born my grandads died fighting the NARTZI'S.
@@GaryOzbourne-mp7yv Naturally none of us, including Plaid Cymru would dream of supporting the 'Nasties', but back in WWII the IRA and those wanting independence, along with closet fascists were a Fifth column here in the UK.
i have lived in Scotland for nearly 50 years, someone i some times worked with i found it hard to make friends with this guy . It turned out he was staunch SNP, didnt like the English and held a responsible post in the local council. He heavily criticised Britains war effort on the home front. he was born in about 1937. This sort of attitude still prevails within the SNP.
Easy to remember the one SNP guy who was an asshole, because he was an asshole and not notice the other 9 who aren’t.
In my personal experience of SNP supporters (certainly ones under 65) they tend to be centrist or left wing.
That's interesting. The pro-Nazi positions of certain British newspapers of the time are also fascinating.
Indeed - especially the Daily Mail.
@@AncientCivilizationsHQ no, the Former king was, the rest, no
@@AncientCivilizationsHQ King Edward, but he only ruled for 5 months, and everyone else hated the Nazies.
"hurrah for the blackshirts!"
@@AncientCivilizationsHQ No, they really aren't, put if you're free could you provide a definition of fascism/fascist?
Ultimately, I think that all the remaining files still classified by the British govt regarding this time period will be very interesting to read when they are finally released to the public.
Brits only release what they want. Multiple occasions they've "lost" files or held them back without explanation.
Indeed i would think so.
I think everyone in living memory of the war will be dead before the real juicy bits are released to the public.
@@garymcatear822 I wonder even then...fears of resurgence never seem to die out. Its up to the Scots, I guess.
Won’t be in our lifetime
This sheds a lot more light on the business of Rudolf Hess flight to Scotland in 1941 in the ME110.
I was going to say the same.
Or perhaps he would not be SHOT out of hand like he would have been in England.
He was reportedly coming to see the Duke of Hamilton, hardly a Scottish nationalist.
@@scottyfive4319 : Why would you presume such a thing?
@@grahamleiper1538 Why Scotland though?
Is Douglas Young trying to calm the crowd by an attempt to resemble Abraham Lincoln?
Not sure about English or Scottish trends in the 1940's but here in the US beards were practically nonexistent, especially in "high society" such as politics.
@@ianhall6614 My observation is that the US political elite is super conservative as regards style , despite often being super “progressive” in ideology
I love the idea that when the English were conquered the Nazi’s would have just stopped at the boarder and said yep ‘Scotland is independent’
I was a teenager in Scotland in the 1960s, and at that time there was a gibe going round about the SNP being a coalition of Jacobites and "tartan Nazis". I always assumed that latter was a reference to the visceral hatred that some of the SNP supporters showed towards anyone English, but now it appears that it was literal.
Can't wait for Labour in bed with Joseph Stalin and Tories soft on Nazis video.
Absolute nonsense. There are many SNP MPs, MSPs, cllrs who are English, and many English people living in Scotland vote for the SNP.
@@ggagg123 It may well be as you say - NOW. In the mid 1960s, however, the SNP was a fringe grouplet. They had never elected a single MP, and even after Mrs. Winifred Ewing won the Hamilton By-election in 1967, she was unable to hold the seat at the next general election.
They used to be cool, yes, not anymore
@@ggagg123 Yes, and they're fools for doing so.

Yeah, apparently bird flu makes them all Nazi's....
What is it about poultry??‽
@@atomicshadowman9143 Heinrich Himmler
For the first few years of Nazi control of Germany many people marvelled at what appeared to have been economic miracles in so short a time. Many thought a similar regime could do the same for them and this was not confined to Scotland, people, some with power and influence in other countries were also taken in. It was not until right up to the start of war that many of these people finally had to face the truth, and some did not even then.
If you were out of work and starving like millions of British in the 1930s, and look at Germany building autobhans what would you do.
That's what happened in Austria they were out of work, and looked over the border at Germany all working, so welcomed them when attacked.
You do realise the nazi done great things for their people.. that’s not what made them evil.. the British government after the war was a socialist government nationalising gas petrol steel exc.
What was the truth? That the German economy wasn't what was portrayed? I'm just wondering because of the way you wrote your comment.
They got rid of the bankers and thrived
Lmao. They appointed Hjamar Schacht, A banker extraordinaire, to head their economic policy. They were no different at all from the Western capitalist nations economically.
I found the caption on the screen with Hitler and Quisling, saying “Vidkun Quisling and ‘friend’”, to be rather amusing. Thank you for another very good video Mark, I can’t get the image of kilts and lederhosen out of my mind.
There's a lot similar between Hitler's Germany and the SNP particularly there total control of the police, legal system and media
The violence towards any opposition by there supporter's towards any opposition and there financial and moral corruption
something for the wank bank lol
Would you like the image of Nazi salutes and the English queen in your mind? Or the Nazi Salute and the ENTIRE ENGLISH NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM DOING IT in your mind?
@@krackerman3628 Or all those images - hundreds of them - of all those men, women and children in the USA giving similar salutes [one of the origins of the Nazi salute came from the USA] in class and on the streets as they saluted their flag every day. And if you mean the photo of a very young Elizabeth that I think you mean she could just as easily be pointing at something in the sky
@@musicandbooklover-p2o LOL dream on - England loved the Nazis until they signed a deal with the Soviet union :D
From Fascists to Communists. They're a versatile lot
Very interesting and informative. Thanks Mark.
Interesting but full of myths sadly.
@@ggagg123 myths and not one piece of evidence, I mean the mam walked free with no ecmvidence to charge and instead of noting this he makes up some BS about them not wanting the nazis to know MI5 were onto them...
No it's like all of Marks stuff.. BS and biased nonsense
Everything Felton stated is accurate... apart from how much support the SNP actually have in elections.
By proportion of the actual size of the electorate, they never get more than 34 percent at best (look it up; ONS has every election result since before the SNATS even existed).
Through low voter turnouts, these fringe nutters win by default.
By contrast prior to the '70's when voter turnout started falling, they never won a single seat.
Moral of the story: compulsory voting is a very good idea.
(at least if polling day is also made a national holiday, and schools actually taught how important voting really is)
@@TSR1989FF 'nutters', so you're saying that most Scots are voting for nutters? Wouldn't that mean that voting is futile as ALL politicians and parties are utter nutters, its just that the snp seem the most same compared to the rest. Those people only voting for the likes of the tories and their one policy are actual nutters, putting a slogan before Thierry own livelihoods
Could you make a video on Moseley and the Mitford sisters?
Can you tell us about Soviet infiltration of UK government before, during and after WW2? We know of Cambridge 5 but there was more to that story.
In his Sword of Honour trilogy Evelyn Waugh's protagonist, Guy Crouchback, is stationed on a Scottish isle where the local laird's wife is a fervent nationalist and fan of Hitler. She distributes pamphlets urging Scots to welcome the German invaders as liberators. I am sure this is where Waugh got his material.
I'd forgotten that. I'll have to re-read it. Thank you
The character Miss Carmichael is written with great comic effect and she and her views are presented as crackpot.
Nonsense!
@@thomasmoore5949 How so?
Was it the laird’s wife or daughter? Funny in any case

Card from queen Victoria, oooh int that nice.
May I remind you that a plan to re-convene the Scottish Parliament was kicked into the long grass in 1914, due to the outbreak of WW1.
The fact that this was largely forgotten by 1918, and simply faded away post-war upset many Scots. Churchill despised the Soviet Union and Bolshevism, but during WW2 was happy to ally himself with Stalin in the face of a common enemy. The Finns sided with Germany, not out of genocidal politics, but to get revenge on a country that wanted to gobble them up.
Opinion on WW2 in Scotland was a bit more mixed than many realised; yes, Scots flocked to recruiting offices as their fathers had done, and yes, Scots played a full part in the Allied victory, but many Scots would've been in favour of neutrality had not the first attacks come on Scottish soil (a man in Orkney killed in an air-raid on Scapa Flow, Ju 88s attacking shipping in the Firth of Forth).
The sad fact is that WW2 wasn't really Scotland's war until events made it that way, so sympathy in some quarters to Germany (until the truth got out) wasn't that surprising.
There are Nazis in Scotland to this day (as there are in many other countries), thankfully few, and in 2014, they were among the most vociferous speakers against independence, and of course, we all remember the photo of a prominent Labour Politician attending a, "No," rally and posing with the Scottish Organiser of the National Front.
Yup and let's not forget the nazi salutes at a war memorial (George Square) after attacking two teenage girls for daring to hold up a Scottish flag, all done under a union flag.
As usual a well researched piece. Always interesting from Mark Felton
"That's for sure."

It was created by an Englishman Dudley Watkins.

👍Thanks for posting. Coincidentally, Heinrich Himmler was also a chicken farmer for a brief period prior to WW2.

Explains his fowl propaganda.
Perhaps a story on Klaus Barbie interrogating Che Guevara before his execution in Bolivia.
Specifically how Barbie was interrogated by the British, released on a certain British government recommendation and later pressed into service for the CIA which ultimately lead to the Che meeting.
Watching Hamza Yousaf’s anti white speech and how he is being show horned in as first minister doesn’t give me much hope for the already failing Scotland.
Cool vid. Reminds me of the story about Plaid Cymru having a meeting and raising a 1930's German flag.
And the mad scramble to take it down.
You must really hate Scotland to go this low.
How do you figure? Which part of this is false? He lists his sources.
I think these characters were very much in the minority in the late 1930s and 1940s. I've just read a book on the Black Watch and the Highland Division during WW2. They fought the Nazis with amazing courage and at tremendous cost throughout the war, even taking the credit for capturing Himmler. I don't remember any of the soldier's first-hand accounts expressing admiration for Hitler.
Correct....dont judge us all by the disgusting behaviour of the snp
The Scots who wanted separation from the UK were in the minority. Those who wanted full independence, rather than Dominion status within the Empire, were a minority of that minority. Of the rump
left those who would go as far as to cooperate with the Nazis would smaller still (especially after the Clyde bank Blitz). Many nationalists, for example the future SNP leader William Wolfe, fought the Nazis in WW2.
@@StruanRobertson29
“…don’t judge us all…”
Well hang on. Shouldn’t that also apply to Scottish nationalist who are avowedly not nazi sympathisers?
For example SNP leader Billy Wolfe served in the British Army in WW2 and fought against the Nazis.
@@StruanRobertson29always one gammon
@@StruanRobertson29 Correct, don't judge us all by the occasional lunatic who happened to lead a then fringe party. Also, don't judge us by the cringing, crawling Quisling British-Nationalist Scots, who enjoy the taste of a nice Tory @r$e on their tongues.
So I am sure we are going to get a video about the Tories of the time and their Nazi leanings too?
No way
Bitter much? Kek
Don't hold your breath.
@@SoulessNinja Bitter? Because I ask for a bit of balance as the Tories get away with it again and again?
The SNP has authoritarian instincts and doesn't care where it gets is support from as long as it shares that type of mentality, today it is mainly Putin's Russian connections. The IRA and the Sinn Fein followed the same paths and have the same instincts, with the Soviets bank rolling and training the IRA in the 60s and 70s.
And do you wonder why London is nicknamed "Londongrad" ?
“Today is is mainly Putin’s Russian connections.”
Oh really? Do tell.
Other than Alex Salmon making a dumb comment about Putin I can’t really think of any connection between the SNP and Russia. But I probably don’t have your deep knowledge of the subject.
Can you describe these connections please?
PS don’t be shy of going into details; names, date, meetings etc.
Worth pointing out that Eric "Winkle" Brown, the legendary test pilot, and a fellow Leither, was a great admirer of Germany, and the achievements of the Nazis, *pre-war*, especially in aviation. Indeed, he was in Germany when war was declared, but was permitted to leave. He went on to shoot a great many down, and assisted in interrogating many after the fall of the Reich in 1944. Several of the hard-core Nazis he described as despicable. I doubt many with any sense would place him under suspicion of fascism..
He was permitted to leave but they didn't make it easy for him. He so resented how they treated him that he said he was very motivated to fight them. Like many he suddenly saw what they really were. A cautionary tale we should take to heart. It's all too easy to go down that road.
Another cracking episode. This channel makes yoochoob worth putting up with.
Tell me the truth...You did specifically this video because you oppose Scottish independence.
Supposing he does... so do most Scots. Thankfully we don't need to think about it for quite a while as recently we had a once-in-a-generation referendum where we knocked the idea on its head once again.
Obviously that's why. This has always been a propaganda channel. Just not as badly as most other "history" channels.
Wonder if Mark will do a video on the many far right links within the Conservatives?
Would love to see a video on the story of Hermann Görtz. Great work as always, your no1!
I'll second that.
I’d love to see one too.
The Donald Sutherland character in The Eagle Has Landed is based on him.
Dr Felton, i was wondering if one time you could it would be interested in doing a video of the highest ranking members from each nation in the war that were captured or killed, as that i haven’t seen covered. I know at wars end most surrendered but before that point i believe it may be interesting. Thank you for another interesting video
Perhaps this would explain both Nicola Sturgeon's and Hamza Yousef's fascistic tendencies...
Interesting. Daily Mail next?
Is this part of a series on British politicians being cozy with Nazis? Would probably be a long series and fit well alongside some of the previous videos on King Edward VIII and Lord Halifax
That would be a very very long list if you open it up to the rest of the wwii allies.
Especially before the war / genocide there were allot of people enamoured with them.
Yes quite a number in our establishment as my parents reminded me as they worked within that class. A few still not mentioned now as their present members wouldn't want made public. I leave Dr Felton do his detective work instead.
@@dzzope Yes, there were, and in the context of the Great Depression and on the surface, it was even understandable initially. Not only political leaders were enamored of the Nazis. Renowned aviator Charles Lindbergh, for instance, was very impressed with them, and only seems to have changed his view after Pearl Harbor was attacked...and then was engaged in helping the USA defeat Japan, even flying combat missions several times in the Pacific theatre.
The late Lord Stamp, chairman of the London, Midland & Scottish Railway, was another such. When the war started however, he famously said he would never voluntarily leave his house in London, and Hitler would have to blow him out. One of Goerring's bomber crews must have taken him at his word - they did just that one night.
The obvious ones are Archibald Maule Ramsay and Oswald Moseley. They actually did get locked up.
Duke of Windsor was sent to the Bahamas.
Scottish writer CJ Sansom makes a great essay about this in the foreword to his alt-history book 'Dominion'.
While correlation is not causation, and nuance historical context are key to understanding events, one might draw a parallel between authoritarian-seming legislation and policies recently implemented by the SNP and its roots. Thankfully I don't live in Scotland, so I can say that freely without worrying about a knock on my door.
'one might draw' nothing unless you're a Tory mate
Now do the tories
Wasn’t Hitler named man of the year by time magazine?
Yes, but the award is for most notable or influential person as opposed to greatest.

Historically it was the french that the scots were happy to bring in.
What about the extreme pro-nazi stance of the Duke of Windsor (formerly Edward VIII) and his floozy?
He even had an agreement with Hitler that he would be reinstated as King once Germany occupied Britain.
Shh, this is all about SNP Bad.
at least that is true - this attempt to undermine the SNP is nonsense.
Always enjoy a good Quisling reference. Cheers, Mark.
Loads of Quisling in British politics today.
Not enough rope or lamp posts in the whole of Westminster.
I think SNP really means socialist nationalist party
There were certainly plenty of English supporters of Hitler too. Moseley and the Mitfords for example. It might have been better to have a video putting it in the context of other nazis political groups in the UK and not just focus on the snp.
That wouldn't suit an English agenda
He already put out a video about the British Free Corps 3 years ago.

@ Dr. Felton - Suggestion for another film
Have you made any videos of the Norwegian resistance (backed by the British and Norwegian exile government) about the sabotage of the Norwegian Hydro plant in Rjukan, Telemark, to stop the production of heavy water, and the following sinking of the remaining barrels of heavy water that was attempted transported out of the country to Germany? This is one of the most proud episode for Norwegians during WW2, because it was suspected that Germany had a nuclear program based on large amounts of heavy water, I think.
And I guess it must have been those behind the Tube Alloys and Manhattan Program that wanted to make sure Germany couldn't produce anything similar. Since Germany also had available Uranium in the continent of Europe.
Hes not a doctor. In any way shape or form.
That's a fact.
@@SpaceHCowboy He do have a doctoral degree in History, among other achievements, from the University in Essex.
This is about individuals within a merger of two Scottish parties in the 1930s. This has nothing to do with SNP as we know it today. Seriously, what's the point of your poorly researched 8 minute video? What's next? WWII in less than a minute on TikTok?
This video makes sense of what my grandfather and dad said many years ago.
Calls himself a historian then posts his sources and they are all stories from Tabloids. 😅😅😅
Scotland is now a muslim country, I heard. Who would have thought...
As we learn about many people and organizations that were not strongly opposed to the Nazi's, it seems that Germany had a better chance of succeeding than many people realized. There are many "if's" but a small change here or there could have changed the entire world and many of us might not be here today. It's all extremely interesting.

No one said it was good, just very possible different outcomes. The crazy thing is that a lot of people seem to not have been taught history or they refuse to learn from it. We are seeing too many people, especially younger people that think socialism is the way to go. Socialism leads to communism, yet they either want to be taken care of and lose freedoms or they actually think everything will be "fair". Colleges in America and some other places are institutions of indoctrination nowadays, not education.
Wait until you hear about the British monarchy 😱
What is it with Nazism and bespectacled chicken farmers?
I met a member of the Action Party in Cheshire in 1973. He was quite proud.
This is a political broadcast on behalf of the Conservative party
Nice to see the SNP hasn't changed much, they still want a one party state
No they don't want a one party state. The people of Scotland just keep voting them into government. But it is clear that it is this voting business, you object to.
Interesting video. Can you do the royals next?
Eddie VIII will be interesting
Best history channel of all time!
He's TRIBE and doesn't hesitate to alter facts or embellish
@yfelwulf why do make allegations against someone without evidence?

This doesnt surprise me at all....the snp are as low as it is possible to get
Very interesting Mark always keen learn something new about history and yer my go to man for WWII. However, I think the early SNP was very different animal to its modern successor. Post WW1 Scotland became very much a Labour stronghold and the SNP was considered by most Scot's at the time to be a rather funny little party and the preserve of romanticists, fantasists and yes kooks. They had very little influence with voters even to the point of being a non entity so very unlikely that the German Abwehr would have taken the Party seriously at all let alone some of their more shall we say colourful characters. Though I guess their job was to create dossiers on possible allies. However, like the modern SNP it was a mix bag of people with various political views and philosophies only united with the goal of Scottish Independence. For example there were members of the SNP that both fought for and against Franco in the Spanish Civil War as there were many other British and Irish who did the same for various different reasons. Many SNP supporters voluntarily joined the British Armed Forces during the war prior to being conscripted as well. I think the modern SNP is a million miles away from its early incarnation the vast majority these days being left of centre former Labour supporters like myself. But yes there are others who adhere to other political flavours too. I think Mosley and his Fascists were a far more obvious 5th Column than a handful early of SNP kooks whose opinions probably upset their own supporters with their sons and daughters in the Forces as much as anyone else. However though they may have thought the SNP guys unrealistic "Quislings" the German Abwehr did look to men like the Duke of Hamilton and Lord Halifax and dare I say it the Duke of Windsor formally King Edward VIII as men they could do business with!
Fair, reasonable and balanced 👍 The modern SNP could never have attained electoral success appealing only to National Socialists - but it's the "other political flavours" that you alluded to that have now created a disturbing coalition of additional failed ideologies.
It's case of my enemy's enemy is my friend extremists lurch from left to right and vise versa basically anything which opposes the establishment or moderate views. In reality the SNP and Plaid Cymru are destined to fail if they maintain there socialist dreams since every very small wealth country has adopted low tax high foreign investment aka policies right of those of the current Tory government. Totally bizarre in the later case who are hard left of a Labour party in power in Wales who are left of the national Labour party which the SNP seems to follow a similar line to and doesn't want a republic.
i don't there just as authoritarian like the nazis they tried to take parents rights away and let the state control kids how is it Scottish and Welsh nationalists are ok but if someone is a english nationalist there wrongly called racist and far right and the SNP protester who spat and through eggs at conservatives at there conference there bile and hatred makes them then Scottish numpty party (SNP) brown shirts
Pretty sure Alex Salmond had his own show on RTV lol
The INSANE support by UK media for Ukranian NAZIS beggars belief and the UK public so propagandised they forget Shitstain 🇬🇧 spent 6 years fighting Nazis in WW2.
Could you please do a video of the Royal family & the Nazis next, as that would be more interesting
Fascinating, Dr. Felton! Thank you for always sharing your incredible videos with us.
I'm not going to bother watching, but I imagine he didn't mention the Tories, the former Tory Oswald Mosley, the Daily Mail or the Royals? No? I thought not.
To be fair, Moseley was a Labour MP - and a member of a Labour government - for longer than he was a Tory.
Don’t forget the funding from the Ayatollah of Iran and Gaddafi.
