Find the Führer - The Secret Soviet Investigation - Episode 5: Bone of Contention
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 вер 2023
- The fate of Hitler is one of the most infamous subjects in history - but the investigation of the nation that was best placed to find out, the USSR, is often ignored or dismissed in the West. This series examines what the Soviets found, both at the bunker and Reich Chancellery, and also the medical examination of the purported bodies of Hitler and Eva Braun. Kept secret until 1968, the Soviet files reveal many strange anomalies that challenge the established story of the ultimate fates of Hitler and his wife.
In this episode, the Soviets return to Hitler's bunker and attempt to conduct a forensic investigation of the 'crime scene' to find the truth.
Dr. Mark Felton FRHistS, FRSA, is a well-known British historian, the author of 22 non-fiction books, including bestsellers 'Zero Night' and 'Castle of the Eagles', both currently being developed into movies in Hollywood. In addition to writing, Mark also appears regularly in television documentaries around the world, including on The History Channel, Netflix, National Geographic, Quest, American Heroes Channel and RMC Decouverte. His books have formed the background to several TV and radio documentaries. More information about Mark can be found at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Fe...

This has been a better investigation than anyone did in the mid-40s.
You’re killin’ it Mark! 👌
NO you can NEVER be sure with a bullet wound in bone! Also he missed out that bone has been DNA tested its female! LOL
I should hope an investigation, in retrospect, with access to information gathered and analyzed over 80 years, is more comprehensive than one that occurred in real time nearly 40 years before the internet was invented.
@@danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307 He literally said the bone tested in Connecticut was found to be female.
? Beside some open details teeth of male corpse were identified without doubt by Russians and verified in 2000th by French experts
the french researcher that tested the jawbone says that it would be impossible to tell the sex strictly through dna that old
@@Jesse-cx4si
Dr. Felton has a bone to pick, with Hitler and history. Ace as always.
There's a lot of skulduggery regarding Hitler's remains.
Can you imagine the implications? *If* the SOB survived, there's a slew of people guilty of harbouring them.
@@scockery Oh my God... this is priceless!!
He should get a crown!...someones.
Or at least a reward.@@davidanderson4091
I SEE WHAT CHU DID THERE!
The orchestral stab scared the living daylights out of me, Mark! Very good series, excellent stuff❤
SAME. I hate jump scares and that got me good
Same

Agreed...the timing.
The man is an artist.
...I peed a little 😮
I rarely comment on UA-cam, Dr. Felton you sir are an incredible wealth to us passionate historians, you answer our question with edjucated facts, and build unequaled quality content. If civilians could give medals you’d have the highest in this regard, please don’t stop your an an incredible asset to our world that is too quick to forget the past. And for the rest of us we should be donating to your channel as your work is unequalled.
Not just too quick, but actively working toward that goal, with the elimination of historical education under social media's censorship regime.
Donate? He's making millions via UA-cam and rightfully so.
And just when you think that this was the end of the story. Mark turns around and says. "Tune in next time". He certainly know how to keep us on the edge of our seats.
Same Bat time, same Bat station.
Spoiler alert - to this day there is no conclusive DNA evidence that Hitler died in Berlin that day.
Oh yes haha !
Lol... I was thinking the same thing. =)
Hitler had a utterly morbid fear of his dead body being treated the same way as was Mussolini’s. Mussolini’s body was hanged upside down in a public place for people to view, insult, desecrate. I would think Hitler and his henchmen would have carefully planned to have his remains destroyed or perhaps cremated at a secret crematorium and the remains taken to a concealed location to avoid Mussolini’s fate. Perhaps Eva Braun’s were, as well. It sounds unlikely and perhaps impossible in war-torn Berlin, but necessity is often the mother of invention.
"In other words, where the hell were the bodies?" Made me laugh. Felton and his killer delivery.
We need Hercules Poirot or Mulder & Scully?
@@uranus.tlatoani I bet on Colombo 😎
I would hire Jim Rockford. He would get to the bottom of this.
That sounds like a quote from Stalin Dr. Fenton is mentioning. Stalin loved to cuss up a storm.
@@uranus.tlatoani Starsky & Hutch.
did anyone else have earbuds in during the jumpscare? i almost spilled my coffee.
good episode.
I had my headphones on half volume & briefly looked away just before the jumpscare part came up, it scared the heck outta me💀
I'm glad I found this comment before the jump scare and was prepared for it to happen. It still got me a little.
Masterpiece Mark... .. You are doing historical work... These things matter, even today.
My dad walks around humming the intro to your videos now. It's a blessing and a curse.
Lol 🤣🤣 I do it, too
When I start a video, I loudly say to my wife, "It's Doctor Mark Felton!" over the theme music.
Kyleissuperduperco: As long as he doesn't go goose-stepping around the garden you are probably safe.
it's my ring tune 😊
It was my dad's theory that they killed themselves as reported, but were buried elsewhere, as the Nazis would never allow the bodies to fall into the hands of the Soviets. Of course, we will never know.
Maybe, but doubtful .. at that moment there weren't many ways to transport two corpses through enemy positions and intense fighting to somewhere else .. too risky and time consuming .. if of course they didn't escape alive.
@@greybeard5774 "Buried elsewhere" doesn't necessarily need to be all that far away from the bunker. Just somewhere better-hidden than where the decoy bodies were found. With said decoy bodies' purpose being to simply get the Soviets to stop looking. Once you've already found what you're looking for, the search ends.
But considering how many people in the bunker were captured and I assume tortured by the NKVD you would at least one of them would have cracked and told the Soviets where the bodies really were
Not if the soldiers who buried the body took their own lives after doing the job. In that instance, it wouldn't have been "risky" at all. Or they could have attempted a break out immediately after burying them and perished in the fighting. In either scenario, those back in the bunker who didn't go on burial mission would have no useful information to provide the Soviets other than the alleged burial site wasn't where they were buried.
Since Hitler was provided with cyanide, it is clear that at least some in the upper echelon (probably including Hitler himself) were not so delusional to believe they were going to win or escape. Thus the need to keep cyanide on hand in that event. It is not a stretch whatsoever to conclude that they had also made preparations in advance to inter Hitler and Eva in some way that would be appropriate and fitting.
So many details have been hidden from the general public over the decades.
Some of this is very new to me. Thank you.
Absolute banger of a series, so hyped for part 6! This is better than every history series on the Discovery Channel.
Dr. Felton NEVER ceases to deliver top notch work!
When you have a crush......
@@sceneeaston2172 Oooh!!!
Dude......@@sceneeaston2172
@@Svensk7119 Truth hurts huh?
@@sceneeaston2172 No, mine was more of a, "what a burn!!!" Oooh.
Not that I don't like Dr. Felton.
I'm reminded of the story of a man being interviewed by the city council for the position of City Manager. One councilman begins by asking "What is two plus two?" The man being interviewed rises from his chair, walks over to the window to peek outside, then closes the blinds and pulls the curtain closed. Next, he goes to the door to peek into the hallway, then closes and locks the door. After dimming the lights, he returns to the chair then leans toward the city councilman and whispers "How much do you want it to be?"
That’s a good one! That’s what went on in the NKVD main office. They probably picked some poor German or Romanian and “created” that skull with the bullet hole, by snatching some poor unsuspecting woman a year later..
When “the boss” wanted results, you better get them. His demotions tended to be permanent.
Did he get the job?
I suspect he did. @@matthewgartell6380
I’m from very small town in the middle of amazon forrest in Brazil. I’m so anxious for the next episode that Dr. Felton has been bringing us such masterpiece investigation
I plan on moving to the Amazon in Colombia. 🌺
On the edge of my seat ….waiting for the final episode. Thank you so much for this fascinating series.
Crazy to think 78 years later and Austrian Painter's exact fate is still questionable
@KMVS8686same. Dude must be on YT 16+ hours a day.
He became a high school art teacher in Yakima Washington and retired in the 70s. I know your secret now Mr Brunet !
I wonder who has Hitlers foot? A foot fetish dream i suppose
He created so much art, they made whole book with the complete collection.
@@M167A1Fellow Washintonian here. That is hilarious!
Amazing to think that after all these years Hitlers death is still debated.
Well, Napoleon's death is still an open debate
A lot of people doubt JC’s death, and that is 2000 years ago.
Hitler did not die. The Vatican stored the Nazi secret weapons and safe keep Hitler until he got moved.
Osama bin laden, jefferey epstein, lots of big names died mysteriosly
Princess dianne
I can’t get enough of this series. I’ve forwarded the playlist to quite a few people. Absolutely Incredible series, and it puts Mark in a whole different level compared to other WWII historians. Keep it up Mark. We want more. Please.
Thanks for another great series, Dr. Felton--I'm looking forward to Episode 6!
I have never been more excited or more intrigued for a youtube release. Thanks Dr. Felton for your hardwork. Cant wait for the next episode
Dr. Mark is by far the best source of ww2 information
Ian Kershaw is by far the definitive authority on Hitler.
Indeed! I concur!
Good stuff!
MF has lost credibility with me with these last videos. You go with what the witnesses there at the time said. Who shot JFK? Oswald and Oswald alone. You go with the logical evidence you have. The bodies were badly burned. Berlin was a mess. You cannot trust the Russians of those days anyway.
Zip it up when you’re done
Mark has completely changed my mind about this event 😮 excellent analysis as always!!
This is actually amazing. Dr Felton NEVER disappoints. I hope you continue to do these multi part series. It’s really interesting and I love looking forward to the next one 👏🏻
I don't know if the Soviets ever found Hitler with any certainty, but finding your channel was one of my greatest discoveries. Thanks for another educational and entertaining video, Dr. Felton!
The tsunami of sorrow that loomed as this episode drew to an end was offset by the promise of another episode. This series is turning out to be more of a Hitchcockian noir thriller than a history lesson. Thank you Prof Felton, as always.
The use of the word «Masquerading» here would suggest this video is not about history but merely pretending to. If I was the creator of the video I’d find this claim rather insulting
yea and that earblasting *SHRIEK after showing the skull fragment being a woman's under 40 perked you up a bit and made your asshole pucker up
So true! Just like you, I was so saddened to learn that the Final Solution was not completed.
I just watched this entire series today. Another beautiful piece of media from the workshop of Dr. Felton. Excited to see the next installment!
This has been an incredible series. As always, thank you Doctor for bringing us these incredible videos.
This series is amazing. Mark Felton’s videos were already my favorite thing on UA-cam, and I didn’t think it was possible for him to take it to another level, but he has done it here. This is genuine, serious, original historical work on a world-class scale. I am on the edge of my seat for the next episode!
Incredible videos
Yes, I don't want this series to end.
Yes, this is certainly an important historical referential work.
This is investigation that should have been done 78 years ago. Top quality work here!
True. And politicians made sure that it did not happen.
@@johnDukemaster- Die Geschichte ist abgeschlossen. Hier gibt es nichts weiteres zu sehen.🫡
I watch every video by Mark Felton, his thoroughness and dedication to accuracy with the evidence he has is something special.
Keep up the good work.
Wishing you and your wife health and happiness.
Without a doubt one of the best channels on this platform. Felton is the GOAT.
Never have i ever clicked so fast, love your channel and the work you do Mark!
😂same!
Me 2
Yuuup!
Mark is slow rolling the big reveal here in order to give Hitler time to get his 134 year old ass back on the run
lmao
I doubt he had 5 years left in him with whatever neurological disease he had.
@@RogueCylonand drug addiction
@@derp195 No actual evidence of any disease and he fired Morell and stopped taking injections.
@@joemiller9931 you can literally find footage of his hand shaking like crazy while in cerominies
Absolutely fascinating, Dr. Felton. Thank you.
Remarkable analysis. This is premiere genius. Nothing I have seen that is as scrutinious or meticulous. Beyond belief brilliant.
I hit like before I see it. Why? Because Dr. Mark Felton never lets us down
Not just me then
Sunday evening class with Dr. Felton, I don't want to miss that. 😊👍
Once again the Guvnor delivers a spellbinding, jaw dropping episode of the most fascinating mystery of the last century.
Can't wait for the next part.
Dr. Mark felton what a suspense of episodes you have delivered so far I can’t wait for the final one
For years I'd been satisfied with Trevor-Roper's findings, but this series is fascinating. Thank you.
What was Ropers conclusion??
@@trentdawg2832 The standard explanation. "The Last Days of Hitler" is a great (and fast) read.
I once asked Hugh Trevor Roper (in 1984 when he was Master of the Cambridge college I was at) what he thought, but he just ignored me as if I was an idiot. Which I probably was. An undergraduate trying desperately to make conversation.
This series is breathtaking. Mystery, intrigue, facts. Your magnum opus, Dr. Felton!
The man. The Legend.
Thanks for all the great content, Mark.
Another great episode Dr. Felton; thank you. Eagerly await the next one.
Any forensic anomalies means a definite cover up.
I have tremendous confidence in Moscow's "investigation" into Prigozhin's apparent death.
@vanpaul147 If you haven't, you should review the 3(?) DR Felton episodes about post surrender U-boats, oddly fitted out and provisioned landing in Argentine waters and how Allied intelligence (a dulles) removed 25k+ words from the captain's log ...
@@Imtahotep Not at all uncommon for someone to remove passages from a captain's log.
For instance, a recent discovery & publication of Noah's log said, "Day 23 of the voyage: unicorn steaks are delicious!".
He ate the unicorns 😢
Such a great series! I'm so conflicted. I want to know the conclusion, but I don't want it to end!
Me too. This series could go over month's. 😊
Absolutely, he better get in deeper with the whole Argentinian side of things, which was possible, and the stray sub that went to Antarctica :V @@ariane11970
Many thanks for presenting, Dr. Felton!
Thank you for digging into this story. Your videos never fail to impress.
Perfect Sunday night... a good brew, the sky over the water's lovely, and a new installment from the Maestro...🏴🤣👍 Thanks again Mark, what a star...
I'm calling it now: Dr. Felton is going to finish this series up by finding Hitler.
He will probably find Tupac too
This man is a LEGEND.🙏🙏
Excellent work, Dr.Felton!
Oh, way to end on a cliffhanger! Can't wait for the next episode -- this has been an absolutely first-rate series.
Adolf, and his friends moved to a small guest house in Minehead after the war. Campaigning for the annexation of Taunton, Taunton is historically already a part of Minehead, just ask Mr. Bimmler.
And rent free
Over looking Exmoor and the sea
What? That nice Mr. Hilter, you mean? Well I never.
Same as those TDS lefties for free...
Where he stood for election as a National Bocialist candidate.
Ok Mark, cliff hanger, Felton... We're all captives of this series and enjoying it very much. Well done and looking forward to the next episode!
Gotta milk the views to make money, can't blame him.
I have i feeling this series is gonna run into a seasons series….and im perfectley fine with that….he is just barely scratching the surface and the story ends in south america somewhere!!!
Thank you for making and sharing quality contents like this for free, Mr. Felton
I'm loving this! Thank you for your dedication!!
More accurate than the History Channel.
it's been dead since 04
Better than history channel ever was Imo. Mark Felton is the man!
That's not saying much.
The Hitler Channel
Someone spams this on every one of his videos.
Thanks Mark, can’t wait for the next episode! 🏆
One of the best history channels on YT for sure!
I'm ready to rewatch these episodes again.
I feel so much more enlightened after a Mark Felton video. Cheers, sir!
Dr. Felton, love your work, always eager for more!
I would just like to say what a fantastic series this is. Well done Mark
Wow..and the plot thickens. This is more riveting than anything currently on Netflix - I literally can't wait for the next installment 👌🏼
OH NO...We have to wait till next week! Fantastic series Mark!
I am absolutely LOVING this series so far!!!
Eagerly awaited this video, thx to Mark #1.
Every episode leaves me with my mouth open. Can’t wait for the next update Mr Felton. Excellent research.
Watch “Grey Wolf”, it’s fascinating listening to the sworn testimony of many people in Argentina.
It is because of Grey Wolf that all these new interest and investigations have started. I'am thinking there are some government officials in Argentina that are getting very worried!
@@towgod7985 The owners of the Eden Hotel and the Perons helped Adolf and Eva when they arrived in Argentina.
@@towgod7985 possibly. My guess is that the passing of decades since has put lots and lots of distance between the modern government and the fascist style government under “Fairly Elected President” Juan Perón. Easily excusable. What do you think?
What a great series, thank you Mark for all you do!
Buggered off, love it! Fantastic series Dr Felton, very intriguing and cause for thought
This channel just gets better and better with each episode.
So the victors wrote history as they saw fit, taught it in schools for decades, what a rabbit hole!
Now time to dig through and find those videos again, of Argentenians claiming they saw and even met Hitler
This is a captivating series, I can’t wait to hear the next part.
What a wonderful video Mark! Your videos are truly exceptional!
These are some of the most incredible documentaries produced! I've always believed that Hitler and Braun and company escaped Berlin. At this point, I'm absolutely convinced of it. Fantastic work sir!👍
They ended up in Argentina, he died in the early 60`s she died aged almost 100.
Fantastic as always! Huge respect to Mark Felton!
Dr Felton , were you in a previous life a producer of serials, you end each episode with a delicious cliff hanger, looking forward to the next installment, the education we are all receiving is priceless,thank you sir
The startling music had me jumping out of my chair. Very informative Mark. Keep up the good work you do.
By far the best investigation into this mystery.
Good work Mark! Extremely compelling video.
Incredible series. Every episode has me on the edge of my seat!
Incredible work, Dr. Felton!
Hitler pode ter fugido para a lua?
Neste caso, os USA não foram os primeiros a "alunar".
You could say Dr. Felton is like the history dog with a bone, he won't let go of a good story.
Fascinating as always!
Awesome series, mark. Absolutely love your work! Best historian on UA-cam
Mark your investigative reporting is amazing!
Fantastic, fascinating stuff. Dr Mark Felton really puts the legwork in and digs where the current History Channel programs just go 'is it possible?...' and then don't bother checking
Dr. Felton, you are a master of both historical research and cliff hangers.
This series is the most interesting that Mark has made and that is saying something.
I love this channel. So fascinating. Thanks Mark!
Wonderfully researched.
Another part?! The tension is killing me haha. Brilliant series Dr Mark.
Dr. Felton, you left us all hanging - outstanding job!
Also, love the music zingers -
I'm in awe with these series! Keep it going
This series is very interesting and always something to look forward to 💯
Very interesting and intriguing, Dr. Felton, please continue.
I found this channel through this series and have been blazing through this channels content for days. I like that Mark is able to talk about this subject with a realistic and sober analysis without sensationalism & unlikely fringe conspiracy theories. Some of this info I knew and others I didn't - and they are whoppers. Anyway, fantastic work!
Brilliant stuff been looking forward to this 👍
What an awesome series. I can’t wait for the next episode.
