This video probably took longer to make than Goebbel's government
He literally did only one thing as Chancellor, he thought who governs less is the best governor. 🙂
Honestly
i took a number 2 that lasted longer than his government. 😂 lol
@@scepticsquirrel not only him, also Hitler. The Nazi Government was a machine that needed very little input from Hitler. All he ever did was voice his wishes, concerns and ideas which you could also read in his book. Its was only in the war where he actively took command of the armed forces.
Fascist systems generally need little input from their leader but their are very fanatic about the input that they get. And most initiatives are being executed in the name of the leader with them only finding out afterwards.
@@adamwilliams5492 Funny...?
I can remember when “The history channel” first came to be in the early 90’s, I was hooked. So many war stories from WWII. Slowly it turned to reality garbage. I stopped watching. I found Mark Felton’s channel a few days ago. Hello real history. God bless you Mark Felton. You’ve answered my prayers.
Non reality garbage, flying saucer big foot.
You mean programs like "Hitler's Nazi Astronauts" or "Confessions of Hitler's gardener"?
@@Brisoup1 The gardener would be ok but lost gynaecologist of Atlantis is stretching the concept of history somewhat.
What a turn of events it would be if Mark Felton starting presenting ‘the real housewives of stoke on Trent’
@@Brisoup1 "Confessions of Hitler's Cook" would have been good also.
“Goebbels refused to leave for reasons of humanity and personal loyalty.”
The idea of Goebbels doing ANYTHING in the name of humanity is painfully ironic.
Lmfao
It's impossible to watch this without commenting.
The incredible detail of information is just superb.
Thank you so much for keeping this vital history alive. You're a genius.
Me: switch tablet on for latest world news
Tablet: There's also Mark Felton's last news on the Third Reich in WWII
Me: OK, first things first
Reading COVID 19 news. Breakfast time, a Mark Felton "Alles Kaput, Dritte Reich. Breakfast can wait.
Same story here..!!

First thing I watched when I got home this evening. Thanks Mark

I work with some pensioners who lived through the war, one chap I visit has some fascinating stories I could listen to him for hours. He used to live in Wanstead London when he was a lad, and told me about the POW camp that was on Wanstead Flats. It held Italian and German POWs and was there until around 1948. He told me that it never really was a prison camp as you would imagine, particularly once the war had ended the soldiers used to manage themselves and there were not many soldiers guarding them. Towards the end there wasn’t even a fence and the prisoners used to do work in the local area, they would socialise with the locals and play in local football teams, attend local churches etc. He said many families would invite prisoners round for to eat an evening meal with them. In fact quite a few local girls ended up marrying a young German or Italian lad and starting families and many opted to stay in Britain after they were released which is why in London you have Italian restaurants and Ice Cream parlours that the soldiers set up. Apparently his father happily took on young Germans to work for him after they were released as he said they were very good workers, he owned an engineering firm. His father told him that getting to know the POWs they realised they were just young lads conscripted into the army who had no choice and it wasn’t them who started the war. They realised they were just like their sons and brothers who were sent off to fight - they didn’t have a choice. I think its a great story how people are just people and it’s politicians and governments and tyrants who cause wars not young men and women starting out in life.
It was mostly Churchill and his financiers tbh
thank you for sharing that
The actor who played Goebbles in downfall was great, a bit too tall but all the fanatical and creepy
Who else finds Mark Felton videos to be incredibly interesting? Like make you stay up in the middle of the night just to watch his videos interesting?
No, I subscribe to him because I find him to be completely unwatchable
They're alright
I'm sure Hilter himself is subscribed from his bunker in Antarctica
@@VoltageLP In his pineapple under the sea...
I think if Mark's WWII videos were all connected in war-time sequential order, it would be the most comprehensive WWII documentary every produced, including The World at War.
This video takes up more than 1% of Goebbels' time as Reichschancellor.
Laughs Out Loud! 😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Still got to be Chancellor like Bismarck.
Mark honesty, I consider your channel as one of the best around… if not the best. Some of the obscure stories are thoroughly researched and very well told. Awesome
What would be the other channels?
Again, thank you for these broadcasts! They are very informative. I feel as if I'm learning so much!
Mark ALWAYS has something new, some tidbit that fills in the gaps, some perspective that I hadn't seen before.
Yes his posts are so interesting.
Brilliant man
So true! He has taught us so much that we never knew before!!

You can see most of these events in the Movie "DownFall" , with Bruno Ganz.
Brilliant film.
To anyone who reads this comment- I know for 99% of you, your next likely action is to immediately forget the title of this movie and go about your day, tossing aside yet another movie recommendation, of which you have probably received hundreds. But I implore you - PAUSE - and lookup/note/download this ABSOLUTELY spectacular film, which will forevermore be engrained into your memory. “The Downfall”/“Der Untergang“ is a masterpiece that depicts the last days of Adolf Hitler and those closest to him. Do yourself an ADDITIONAL favor and watch it in its original German (& read the English subtitles) to be engulfed in the full emotional impact of the masterful acting. Enjoy!
Excellent performance by Bruno Ganz
*Incoming ranting and Fegelein comments!*
„Wo ist Steiner?“
thank you for uploading this: I think Mark Felton is an excellent historian!
Another excellent video, thank you for posting it.✌🏼
I was born and lived many years in Berlin before moving to the United States. I remember my Grandfather telling me how he met Mr. Goebbels before the War after a speech he gave at the Sportpalast Arena around 1938. Unfortunately, he was impressed by Goebbel's charisma and devotion to the Fatherland. My memories are those playing in the rubble and having many childhood friends who lost their fathers during the War. My family lost everything after the war due to Russian confiscation. It is difficult for Germans like me to watch those old newsreels and all the destruction and atrocities.
Germans should not be ashamed of their past at all, its the winners who write the history
Peter von Hoffmann God bless you and I feel for your painful memories. I hope the United States has been better for you and you’re having a good life
Long live sacred Germany
Peter von Hoffmann I am sure it is hard to watch. I can’t imagine how it feels. My mom’s family came from the Rhineland area to the US in the early. 1800’s. I am sure I still have blood relatives in Germany. God bless
Mate, watch reals from the Eastern front, what germans did there, especially the civilian population. They came with war and destruction, and received just that in return. Dont see how people cant get that.
Time for bed.
"Mark Felton published a new video!"
I don't need sleep.
I am watching this,my snowflake daughter is looking at me,she is asked me have a I got a Nazi uniform in my bedroom, my reply I only put it on before it's mummy and daddy time in the bedroom, it was quite amusing watching my 20 year old daughter nearly choke on her toast 😂😂😂

Great work. Impressive detail. Well done. Learned much , thank you.
I just finished watching 'Downfall' and now Mark spooks me with this video.
Bruno Ganz was masterful in that movie.
I remember Goebells screaming that he did not care after a German General informed him that the Russians were mowing down his conscripts.
Beyond crazy.

@书中自有黄金屋,
Eyewitnesses that staffed the Bunker, and survived.
Last year I was visiting my sister in law in Berlin. I ate in an Indian restaurant and then walked a few blocks towards a Shopping Mall. Shockingly, I came across the remnants of the Fuhrerbunker located in a rather nondescript parking lot. I know Mark has covered this but it was eerie being near the bunker in person. As always, thanks Mark for such a thorough history presentation.
Indian restaurant, and you probably passed Africans, Muslims, Slavs and a pinch of Chinese tourists along the way.
What does “eerie” means?
@@goatkoala573 Means something like creepy or scary.

@@trollking99 Alright Adolf chill out...
By far the most important historical videos on earth at the moment.
Great lessons to learn in all these history videos.. I can get so lost in history but yet as i see the world today its repeating itself all over again… thank you for posting these videos i so love them…
"disposing of her children" was a pretty shocking thing for a parent to do
I think a fair number of parents would dispose of the kids rather than avail them to rape and/or confinement in a communist prison camp.
@@johannvonleers5758 Man you Nazis are a funny bunch. Talk about preserving the race one day and killing your own children the very next. If the Nazis were so terrified of being locked up in camps are years of war-crimes maybe they shouldn't have started the war in the first place.
@@hamzak2181 Damn right! Thank you.
Everyone knew what the Russians where going to do “ 8 to 80 “. It has not been so long since we climbed down from the trees .
@@johannvonleers5758
They could have flown the children to Western or Southern Germany. They would have been captured by the Americans, and nothing would have happened to them.

I love this guy. His intro music is hype. It's always a pleasure to watch the videos.
Interesting fact: Günther Schwägermann is actually still alive (or at least no date of death was ever provided). He'll be 105 in a few days
Guess how he looks now at the modern world, Europe and understands why their struggle was a chance which was lost so people got what they wanted.

Not only beautifully written and produced, but Mr. Felton has a plummy voice and clear diction. A pleasure all around.
I’m currently reading The Diaries of Joseph Geobells (1942-1943) as well as the Final Entries 1945. They are fascinating and an interesting peek into the inner workings of the regime. Highly recommended to anyone interested in this period of history.

The scene when Goebbels children was killed in Der Untergang was really saddening
It was the first movie scene I actually cried about in decades when I first saw it, in a cinema. When I rewatch the movie, I still get emotional about that scene. I now have young children of my own...
That was really appalling. Imagine being *that* committed to a cause that you'd kill your own children. It's debatable how well the Soviets would have treated the Goebbels children if they had been captured alive (probably exploiting them for propaganda purposes for the rest of their lives), but several occupants in the bunker made a dash for the West as the Soviets closed in and few Germans would have blamed the children for their parents odious behaviour.
It is a good proof how extremely sick nazis are
It was not saddening they would've grew up and did the same shit fuck them!
The actress Corinna Harfouch who portrayed Magda Goebbels, had a mental breakdown on set as how a mother could kill all her children in the name of the state. The impasse went on for more than a few hours and filming was suspended as she was inconsolable. It took the producers/director to come in and figure out how to get her state of mind back on track to finish the days filming.
As depressing as these subjects can be the sheer amount of details and factual accuracy its very upbringing. I enjoy your videos very much Mark!
what about the story of - Hitler, they claim, escaped punishment and lived out his life in tranquility in Patagonia until his death in 1962 at the age of 73.
History should never be viewed as "depressing". It's lessons to be learned.

Ehat a fantastic channel. I've learned so many new things about ww2 from his videos.
Good work. Thank you.
And Mark does it again .... This channel is pure class 👍👍
"Downfall" the movie (Der Untergang) dramatizes what Mark covered here very well - a must see.
they show Goebbels wife killing the children tho, not a doctor 🤨
@@alexm566 What adds to the drama. It's a drama not a documentary on how the Reich ended.
@@Christian-mt5jx I cried when I seen that movie. I have the DVD.
No need to dramatize every aspects would be real and reported by many witnesses present in the bunker.
@@badbotchdown9845 drama is good
This video is a special one ! Thank you very much of that !

I am Thirty Four. This is what used to be on History channel basically anytime of the day. This channel is a precious gem. You have sparked life back into us young American men. History Channel has abandoned us, and the Veterans of WWII are no longer as many as we knew as kids. Thank you for this channel Doctor.
My only complaint about history channel then and I guess pop history in general is the focus WWII that other stuff in history isn't important. I get WWII is interesting but they are much more stuff in history just as interesting if not more.
Just woke up to Mark Felton. Great!
after that speech in 1945, Goebbels told close friends, "I could have told those people to jump out windows and they would have done it".
Shows how dumb people are en masse
@@areyoujelton there are low-lifes out there like Hitler and Goebbels who abuse trust. Life is built upon trust in so many ways.
That was the "Total War" speech.

5:55 the dude on the left looks like indy niedel from the UA-cam channel the great war and second world war lol. Everytime i see that photo i always see him.

It does! That's weird, like something from "The Shining" movie.

Good catch!
It never ceases to amaze me how trgic it is that so many young life's were snuffed out on both sides and somehow it seems even worse when everyone knows it's pointless to continue fighting as the war was already lost but because of some zealots in power the unnecessary carnage continues. Rest in peace to all the brave young men and women from every country that died in this war. Lest we forget
For those (both sides, all sides) who died, the war must have seem never ending.

The plural of life is lives, pronounced with a long i as opposed to the pronounciation of lives, as in 'he lives in hope'. Life's indicates possessive form. It is usually used along with adjectives or possession qualities of life. Eg: My life's dream is to see people being able to spell correctly. @250txc Lifes isn't a word at all.

There's one of these videos about Hans-Ulrich Rudel; it would be interesting to see one on "ace of aces" Erich Hartmann, particularly his postwar years in Soviet captivity and then returning to flying with the new West German Luftwaffe. An epic life.
Great suggestion! I agree.
VERY impressive work, Mr. Felton. Measured, concise and and historically accurate. And gratifyingly free of histrionics. Please continue.

Always a thumbs up for Mark Felton Productions. 👍🏻
Great report

Yet ANOTHER great video, having watched the film Downfall I know a bit about the last days of the war but still learnt some facts from this video.
You almost always have something new I've never heard of, and even when I've heard of it before. You've better quality then I've seen before. Good job
Colbert said when you turn a certain age you become obsessed with all things WW2. Well, it's happened to me, I didnt care at all when I was younger but now I watch this channel all the time. Weird isnt it.
Germany should have delayed their invasion of Russia until after they had consolidated their gains. Opening the Eastern Front was a disastrous, premature decision.
Had to get to that Caucasus oil!
Russia was building up its strength too。So was the US。Delaying Barbarossa would probably not have helped the Wehrmacht。
Also the Stalin had just purged all the generals, leaving the military in terrible command
These videos are fantastic, the quality and depth of knowledge, love your style I look forward to watching these
always intriguing Mark..
ThNk you Mark, I’ve learned so much from your videos. ♥️⭐️♥️⭐️♥️⭐️♥️
If you look closely you'll notice that in Hitler's last appearance in the gardens of the Reich Chancellery in March '45 the absence of the 2 massive, bronze "Striding Horses" statues he'd commissioned by Sculpturer Josef Thorak. There is a Soldier standing in the location where the statues had formerly been positioned. This confirmed they had been relocated to safety and were not destroyed during the Allies bombing of Berlin, as was assumed for around 70 years after the War. This observation by astute 'nazi-looted art' Detective Arthur Brand prompted the search and discovery of the massive statues, intact and still hidden in Germany, almost 70 years after the fall of Berlin. This was a monumental discovery which rocked the World in 2015. A fantastic story.
Mark, I’m sure you already know this but you are the best channel on UA-cam. Your videos are so well done. WWII history has no shortage of facets to it, so I hope you will never stop making these videos.
Absolutely Brilliant! Very well done, edited, narrated and overall... an Incredible Historical vid and one of the most impressively made re this period of WWII.
