      I spend more than 30 years for find the truth, what was really happened at the end of WW2 and aftermath of that event. How I was going deeper AND DEEPER to this theme, I was found more less logic stuffs and facts. Mostly told to us from winners of WW2. Than I made my first and the most important rule - never believe winners of WW2 and especially when they talk about "the truth". My second rule is check everything and try find the proves AND LOGIC CONNECTIONS ABOUT THAT EVENTS AND STORIES. That last my rule is the hardest to realize. Because, the proves are today hidden or even destroyed by the winners, covered with many newer fabricated lies of the winner side, AFTER 1945. So, my conclusion is about this story - do not believe in that. Why? Because, it is no rock solid evidences about that, like about Hitler & Eva death in Berlin, April 30, 1945. So, then what is really logic truth about that? If you ask me, everything is opposite what winners of WW2 said to us last 79 years. Hitler & Eva were escaped from Berlin, like Martin Bormann too and many important Nazis. They found cover in Argentina and they trade with the USA and UK about long peace and rest there. The value for buying that was probably 3 German most important programs: Rocket, Space and Nuclear programs. That was all given to winners, because the Secret of Berlin, 1945, must be hidden for next 100 years or to 2045. That is my opinion about that video and of course I don't believe that your story is based on the real facts. PS: The Real Truth, we probably would know one day or our kids in the future, and many many centuries after the Fall of the Third Reich. And, of course after the final fall of the Winners of the WW2 too. Be saluted!

    Not sure why, but I can be very demanding regarding script and production standards and so I am pleased to say that this program is outstanding. The narrative pacing is perfect and you only change images when necessary. That alone merits high marks as so many content creators change image every 3 seconds...20 bloody times a minute.

      Eh, if you are truly interested in the subject there are more videos that go deeper on the subject of Bormans death as it is far from conclusive on how and where he actually died, this video is purely based off the testimonial of Auxman which is shakey at best, that's with out even getting into the discrepancy with Bormans skull and "remains".

It's mad to think what would of been going on in that city during the time. You couldn't just get in an armoured car then a super fast jet and disappear must of been a mental time. The panick and fear there must of been to try and escape and the fear of civilians too. If they all got away never know who else could of. I love how you show it now aswell just imagining being there and the fighting going on the whole city basically rubble. It's just nuts when you see the aerial view and how far the allies had to surround and capture every street . Then after rebuild all of it and make sure these huge areas wouldn't do it again.

    This was extremely well produced and covered the escape from the bunker brilliantly. Bormann's high school education was stopped when he joined the 55th Field Artillery Regiment as a gunner in June 1918, in the final months of World War I. He never saw action, but served garrison duty until 1919, and then joined the Nazi Party. Bormann did have an advantage while escaping over the other top Nazi's because he had no public image, unlike Goebbels, Himmler, Hitler, Goering, Ribbentrop, Jodl, Rommel etc,

    Good job! This reminds of the History Channel show where they were supposed to use 3d graphs and historical photographs to analyze famous battles. However, they rarely did. It was mostly reenactments.
    The painstaking effort you put into this is evident and it was what I expected from that show but never got. This is from someone who spends a lot of time looking at historical photos and maps and has visited Berlin a couple of times. I have a video of my visit to the location of the Führerbunker on my channel. Not much to see.
