First "audio book" I've ever listened too. I'm very impressed. Having trouble with declining eye sight, (I'm 85), I think I might start using audiobooks. Thank you, Mr. Felton.
As a lifelong reader and a history buff, I used to say I’d never listen to audiobooks. I liked my own pace and have my own voices that sit well in my head as I read. But after listening to a couple of books out of curiosity, I am a changed person. I absolutely love listening to an audiobook well read by a pro, an actor and voice actor/narrator. They also work like a charm as ‘adult bedtime stories,’ books I know well but still love the audible rereads. Treat yourself, friend, and enjoy them.
Thanks for your comment.

You will LOVE audiobooks. I have been listening to them for years. I drove cost to cost across the USA a trip over 10,000 miles and listened to audiobooks the entire way. I still listen to them especially as a sleep aid. I have an audio library on audible of over 2,000 books, several hundred from iTunes, and over a hundred on Chips. I have ben listening since I became disabled in 2005 and could not read heavy printed books. I have returned less than 200 books in total so I can say it is most definitely worth acquiring audiobooks! ENJOY!

Nice size collection! Happy listening ~~~~~
I recommend that audio books are terrific
This is where it's at Mr Felton. Keep doing these longer videos 👌🏻
Agreee I miss the long videos
I'm still waiting for Mr Felton to make a video about Soviet atrocities, or atrocities by RAF (like Dresdan) or the fact that Gen Eisenhower purposely starved to death hundreds of thousands of German POW's within the first month of Germanys surrender.
It's Dr. Felton, not Mr. Felton.
Thanks Grandmom@@dr.barrycohn5461
Exactly
Outstanding analysis and presentation of the history. As a Roman Catholic, I am particularly intrigued and shocked by the Vatican connection.
Keep reading the lesser known history of the Roman Catholic Church and Jesuits etc. They always play both sides of the game 🎮. As Jesus said, "many will come in my name and say, I am Christ, and shall deceive many."
You neglected to say "deeply ashamed" but I don't think that the thoroughly indoctrinated can feel shame. They helped nazi war criminals escape. What is left for you to believe in?
The Catholic Church NEVER EXCOMMUNICATED HITLER WHO WAS A CATHOLIC!
Please look into the history of the Catholic Church from at least 300”s on to the present s3x abuse scandals and that will give you a much better view of the catholic church
Centuries of crime. In our age, they worked with the nazis, and globally they have allowed pedophile priests to prey on children repeatedly. When it gets too hot with angry parents and all, they would just move the priest to another location, to begin with the kids again. Pure evil.
A friend was schooled by nuns. She said they were most vicious, sadistic people she ever met.
Ever noticed how many perverts there are in organized religion?@@josephkezior4730
Mark, thank you for bringing the series out in one extra long episode.
I’m not touching this documentary. It’s amazing!!!!
Mark, thanks so much for putting all the effort you do into this magnificent historical research. The fact that you make this available to us for free is nothing short of incredible. Thank you!
These stories are an amazing historical achievement worthy of an award. They should be required listening in every university in the west. Thanks for your work and professional efforts.
Mark Felton is probably the best UA-cam producer of high quality material. Very educating and extraordinary informative. Sir, I salute you!
But how does he know all this? And why have we never seen Dr. Felton and A.H. together in the same room???? You might be applauding the worst criminal in recent history??? Shame
Thank you so much for posting this in one contiguous video. I’ve listen to all the episodes over and over but now that it’s long form, I’m gonna dive into it again.
Mark. Thanks for providing my Sunday night entertainment!
I absolutely LOVE your channel Mark and I want to say thank you for all the free videos you release.
I'm currently listening to this as I work and I can't thank you enough for the entertainment and information you provide with these audio-only episodes.
Keep up the great work Mark and I plan to support you through Patreon or a Super Thanks soon!
I remember stumbling across this channel nearly six years ago, somewhere in November 1939. I of course went back and watched all I missed, and haven’t missed any of the episodes since. Guys, this has been a tremendous project and undeniable treasure for humanity. Thank you Indy for all your hard work and attention to details. Thank you Spartacus for your bravery covering what perhaps is the uncoverable. Thank you Astrid for the tremendous work. And you Anna, for brightening up the mood with the Homefront and supporting Spies and Ties. And thank you, all the rest for making this happen and concluding as well. It’s been amazing to watch it all, sometimes with trepidation (how else can you approach a War on Humanity episode which just came up?), but mostly with anticipation. My family history is very much tied to everything that was covered so a lot of contemplation took place through the years, but it has rewarding. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks you.
I worked at Bell Aerospace in 1983. There were quite a few old timers there. They talked about the arrogant German scientists that would walk around in their white lab coats. Many of them had their secretaries from Germany with them. The union at Bell was a rough crowd and they would not get out of the way when the German scientists came their way. Imagine how many of the US guys had fought against them.
Fascinating! Thank you for that. 😊
Brits had as much chance to go to space as russians and Americans, they were just too lazy to do it. Felton is rather bitter on the issue obviously.
@@Sven_Dongleour country was on its arse thanks to USA ripping us off for useless out of date ships and weapons before Hitler decided to declare war on them
@@Sven_Dongle
The US economy boomed during the war, and the Russians had a massive slave labour force. Britain was pretty much bankrupt.
@@Sven_DongleThey were not lazy, they had massive debt at the time from the war. In addition America was using the Nazi scientists and technology that both they and Britain tracked down. There is no grounds for calling the British lazy considering everything they have contributed to the world.
Thanks Mark, I'd already made a Playlist of the individual stories consolidated into one but now I'll add this to my ww2 bedtime stories.
Enjoyed this. Listened to it over a few nights and preferred the audio only format.
Thank you for bringing this information forward to new generations who are not taught history!
This is a special episode worthy of a Full Download for future reference,thank you Sir!
😢😢😢😢😢 9:29 Mark I absolutely love your documentaries. I am a history nerd and proud of it. You make yours so exciting and educational. Best I've ever seen. Thank you
Thanks for doing the research. The long format videos are really good
Absolutely love the audio versions, just thought I'd drop in to let you know 😊
I appreciate you bundling all your videos into one long one.
Or at the others one long video split into smaller videos ?
@@unnamedchannel1237 yeah there’s a series of several shorter videos but lately Felton has been compiling his works which is nice
Thank you so much for putting in that extra bit of perfection to your channel by combining all of your Rat Lines episodes into one easy to read episode! Your work is absolutely FLAWLESS!!!
More long form. You are already amazing, but these omnibus videos are GOLD. Thank you.
Please make more war stories! I love the longer videos and hearing these intriguing stories. "A thousand miles to freedom" was really great to listen to.
Good show, ! Mr Felton you did your research. It is replete with facts and figures. Historical references to back it up. Well done Sir.
I was just thinking about this topic, and you uploaded this. Mark, you are the best Historian ever sir.
Superb series! Great work, Dr. Felton! Keep up the great docs!
Thank you for your reports and readings Mr. Felton, they are extraordinary! It is unbelievable, how the Nazi criminals could evade justice for so many decades! And the insistence of the Nazi hunters is admirable! A tear in memory of the children and all the victims of the Nazis!
Thank you Mark. It’s important we never forget these despicable men and their terrible crimes.
nor the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church, the US Gov't, the Soviet Gov't and as well as France who picked up the crumbs for their own space program
WW2 wasn’t a marvel movie. There wasn’t a good side and a bad side, just winners and losers. The winners had their war crimes ignored, the losers did not.
Our allies the communists were far worse than the Germans
None of this would have happened if Poland just gave up Danzig
@@chrisporter9397 That’s a really naive statement, and even something Adolf Hitler strongly disagree with at the time.
@@chrisporter9397 Are you joking? Hitler literally set out his long term plan for the Soviet Union.
I thought you just have to go to the Canadian parliament and wait for the applause.
Well said! 🇬🇧
Some family reunions of our illustrious federal government members are no better. Freeland...cough cough...wink wink...
I'm sorry for our government, world. Such a f embarrassment...
@@SWATT101 I'm sure there are some good Canadians, but why don't we ever hear from you? 🇬🇧
I don’t think that Canadians are aware that a large proportion of Ukrainian emigrants are there because Banderistas did not want to face the music for killing civilians from the locals. For wearing the Hugo Boss the soviets would give a special welcome to their comrades and fellow travellers in socialism.
even though i have listened to the rat line series separately from Mark. I look forward to it all again in one episode 🤩
Great audio story for a sunday afternoon 👌
Thanks mate 👍
Great stuff a Felton epic! Cheers Mark.🏴🇬🇧
Wow! Long one. Will get around to it for sure! Thanks
Brilliant Mark, like all your stuff its clear and easy to follow and more so it’s easy understand and take in.
Defo the best in You Tube
I just love when you put out long merged versions.
So, so good. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and research.
Just downloaded this, will be listening to it during drive time this week. Thanks Dr. Felton!
Mark Felton is a Historian Legend. Thanks for all your hard work.
These are excellent really enjoy listening, more audio books!
Love everything you do Dr Felton, thanks for making these videos
The legend does it again, brilliant piece here mark
I have a 3 hour drive ahead of me, I was waiting to start that drive to listen to this 😊
The best history channel by a country mile!
A small correction here, nitpicking a bit here, perhaps: The Vaterländische Front was not a paramilitary organisation. It was the political organisation, or unity party, if you will, the Austrian fascists created after fully establishing their regime in 1934. The Heimwehr, or Home Guard, were paramilitary fascist units in the 1920's and 1930's, and to a degree served the same purpose as the SA did in Germany. They were instrumental in putting down the uprising of Austrian Social Democrats in February 1934, who had decided to finally resist the cold and slow coup d'etat the Austrian fascists had been carrying out since March 1934. (To be precise: It was only parts of the Austrian Social Democrats and their paramilitary organization Schutzbund who participated in the belated uprising.)

A dark. mysterious and fascinating subject. Been on my mp3 player since first released.
Pure gold! Keep 'em coming Mark.
I loved this audio vid. Love the longer stories. The ratlines are so interesting. Keep up the good work!!!!
According to an old lady of my acquaintance who lived in the far east in the 60s, many war criminals worked for German companies in Japan which did not have a treaty with Germany and lived out their lives there.
The finest historian alive!
Thank you for this audiobook. I am always impressed with your knowledge of history.🎉❤
Thanks
Actually Rudel was awarded the Golden Oak Leaves ... I think the only one to have it awarded. He was an ace with 9 kills, but his true fame came as a Stuka pilot destroying 100's of tanks etc.
How have I gone this long and not found this channel. Subscribed. Perfect, going to bed.
Man, that theme song. Such heart. ❤
Great presentations
Brilliantly written and narrated Mark, as usual. A terrible subject really but these historical facts need to be broadcast, especially in these troubling times. Thanks so much for this..
And another annotation: Alois Hudal was in fact Austrian - he was head of the church of Santa Maria Dell'Anima, which is considered the German church in Rome. He did have rather explicit German nationalist leanings and sympathies for the Nazis.
P.S.: Just heard you clarify that after the first erroneous mention.
Bravo! Thank you
I listen to all of these and am trying to study history.
It helps me understand today and what sorts of things we could do if things ever got bad!
I am enjoying the series.
Mark, your too good to us! You’re NO1
Hi, Dr. Felton!
Would it be possible for you to launch these stories as podcasts on Spotify?
I recognize that intro music. It's an apple loop that comes with GarageBand (at least that's where i know it from) and I made a rap beat where I sampled the movie full metal jacket and whatnot. I've also heard it on some other ww2 docus on UA-cam. Its weird how we all used it in a war sense.
Cheers, Mark!
Please that opening jingle to your videos is very challenging
A repeat listening. Thanks !!
HELL FRIGGIN YEAH (thank you so much for this, Dr. Felton)
Well, guess it’s time for a third listen.
I’m in the same 24 hour period with my third watch, and not a bit embarrassed to admit to it.
Fascinating topic!
Really interesting and informative. Thanks.
The first picture kinda reminds me of you Mr. Felton 😅
I was thinking this
I am extremely impressed by the depth and detail of your narrative. I knew of "involvement", but not to the extent of your coverage. Especially the Catholic church.
One particular entity was only mentioned briefly and then only in passing... Great Britain and MI5.
I guess when they say the victors write the history it applies to the presenter's nationality also.
Not to complain, but I wish it had timelines in this video so I could easily navigate to where I stop or next chapter stop and begins
The word “Roman” is actually “gHeroman” prior to old English spelling shift and “Germanic and Slavic” phonetic shifts.
There has never been a separation from what is “Roman” and what is “German”.
Not linguistically since “AD” times at least.
no
Eye opening.
Many thanks.
Awesome video!!
Guess we'll never really know how many of them got away.
I like this long form. Really good information.
A family relative worked in an administrative department for a large German automotive parts company in Mexico City in the 1970s, and they had several stories of German executives who had been through the war. One such story was about an older man who supposedly was known for being very mean, short with his temper, and just a nasty individual to work with. The younger, West German colleagues were constantly having to apologize for his behavior and trying to get the Mexican staff to understand that this man had seen some and perhaps been a part of some rather horrible things. According to my relative, the man was eventually forced to leave the Mexico office and sent back to Germany after he had outbursts with disabled and what would have been seen as "flawed" individuals to the war time Germans. I've always found the story interesting and thinking of who the man might have been and what their role in the war might have been.
I want to know what really happened to Boremann. In a book by Joseph Farrell he reproduced a picture of a check drawn on the chase manhattan branch in Buenos Aires with Martin Boremann signature right on it.
I fart in JARS and send them to my boss he thinks it's Jimmy from the Tech department 👩🏼💻
incredible how you mentioned barby but not his role in iran contra
Gotta see this soon
Magnificent. More illustrations would have helped, but it was nevertheless a fine production.
Did anyone check with the U.S. and Soviet governments?
if Heim was in Cario in 1964 I guess that means he lived out in the open in baden baden between 1965 and 1964 incredible!!!!
the vatican has a lot to answer for.
Smuggling nazis barely makes their top ten of fucked up shit they have done.
In Rome there are various museums and exhibits claiming that the Italians were "liberated" from the Nazis. In reality they got away with most of their crimes, and in addition they got to keep the land they gained from Austria in WW1, bit of a cheek. During the Fascist italy period Mussolini had digs taking place in Albania for Roman artifacts and structures and if they came across finds from other periods of Albanian, Greek or other European history they had orders to bury it again.
Ya think?
Don't worry, it took only 350 years for them to say "Sorry, my bad!" On that Galileo affair...
@@undergroundman4646 I'm still waiting for the retraction statement on the inquisition?
Epic
Great work Mark it's hard too believe such evil could walk this earth, they shoveled their conscience into the grave despicable evil.
Brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Smart !
fantastic as usual, however I must say when you talk about one of them should show the correct picture of him. You talk about Stangl at one point but the picture shows other men and for people who don't know who is who it can be confusing. It is a matter of editing. I would suggest to modify that
This. My goodness, this is so damn good --- and, to be clear, this presentation is outstanding
Now I have to see how you present Check-point Charlie and the almost-WW3 stand-off between the Soviets and the US...
I made this comment about Rauff in Dr. Felton's video about Rommel's gold, it is now updated:
Rauff's last home in Chile. It was located in what was back then a middle class enclave in Vitacura, one of the most affluent quarters in Santiago. The house became notorious after his demise. Neighbors of course started to tell stories about the house, most of which were obviously made-up memories spurred by Rauff's post mortem notoriety. Interestingly enough, few of the stories were about the man himself. Although many people knew he lived there, Rauff was seldom seen.
The person who told me this, a retired journalist that used to live nearby, said he remembered clearly that the house seemed to have a second gate, the one facing the street being "a false entrance", in his words. In August, 2023, I asked him if he remembers anything else. He said that the wall of the property was very high, likely white, as many of the neighboring houses were, and that the grass and sidewalk outside Rauff's house looked so immaculate, the place felt uninhabited, and that made him uncomfortable when he walked the dog on that side of the street.
I hope this helps anyone interested. I tried to keep it clean from rumor and speculation.
I met the offspring of the Argentinian Germans here in the USA in 2016. Mid-20's absolutely beautiful blonde gal, all the hallmarks of pure german lineage, albeit with an Argentinian accent. I asked where she was from, and she said Argentina. I blurted out "but... you're German" when I really shouldn't have - I was thinking it, and couldn't believe that I stated it. She admitted to it, but that's as far as that conversation went.
There's millions of German descendants in Argentina, south of Brazil, Uruguay and southern Chile. Most arriving way before the Nazis.
Good morning
Is that you in the picture?😂
much could have been by tracking down all the people Alois Hudel helped, I'm sure he had detailed records of who was sent where.
6 hours of audio for me to learn while playing minecraft i love it
