The Day The Soviets Nearly Captured Hitler
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лют 2021

Imagine Hitler in an arm chair with a giant parachute floating through the sky.
LMAO
FEGELEIN!!!!!!!
NEIN!
hahahahahaLMAO
Imagine the Allies shooting him into pieces while he is floating in his arm chair through the sky.
Unlike Hitler’s assassins, Mark always delivers.
hahahah
"The term anarchist struck special fear in the hearts of those who were building the new industrial states of the late nineteenth century, for anarchists identified the centralized state itself as the enemy. For the same reason anarchism provided a banner of new hope to a generation in France that had become disillusioned with politics : first by a decade of republican repression after the Commune and then by the decision of the rival Blanquists to support the right-wing challenge to the Third Republic of General Boulanger "in the hope that it was the prelude to a great revolutionary crisis." Thus began the fateful tendency of putschist revolutionaries on the Left to see in a right wing challenge to liberal republican authority a tactically useful stage in preparing for their own social revolution. This thinking proved successful for Lenin, who was to view Kornilov's rising against Kerensky's government in September 1917 as a "gun rest" for his own revolutionary rifle. The same thinking by German Communists in 1933 was to have disastrous consequences, when Hitler was seen as a transitory Kornilov tactically useful for destroying the Weimar Republic."-James H Billington
You could say he... always hits his Mark?
Hitler be like: aight ill do it myself
If you need a job to get done, do it yourself.
;)
Meanwhile the "actual" History channel: "How did Hitler escape? ALIENS!"
Legit! 🤣🖤👊🏼
Chuck Grassley get off UA-cam
Also History Channel: "Did Hitler really die or did he get transported to Antarctica and entered the secret entrance into the Hollow Earth?"
What a meaning. The main thing that is hell
This comment is pure art buddy haha
So interesting, I had no idea Hitler had visited the eastern front so often. Great work Mark Felton uncovering aspects of WWII most people had never known.
Да, у него была ставка в Виннице. В России это в школьной программе истории ВОВ преподают. Чему вас там учат, что лишь спустя 75лет познание что то новое.
Guess you haven't watched the Tom Cruise movie Valkerie.
@@user-pp2yr5xy2rdo they teach in russia about what bad things the Soviets did?
@@EtherealSkiall sides did awful things in the world wars. No one is innocent
@@EtherealSki They actually do. But at least teaching history there is not limited to "what bad things the Soviets did", like it is in much of Eastern and some parts of Western Europe.
Not gonna lie this is probably the best history channel on UA-cam
«probably»? Dude, this isn't even debatable.
I feel like this channel the most informative out of all history channels, but not the best
"probably"? You can't figure this out for a certainty?
Better than Ancient Aliens?!?

This channel is pretty incredible. They also did a four year long(!) series on WW1
Felton has mastered the art of a catchy title that isn’t clickbait.
Well said 👍
I had no idea this happened and I can’t not watch it.
And It's something that no ordinary mortals can master
It's sorcery.
I don't even care about the titles anymore. I just trust whenever Mark Felton uploads a video, it's something I'll probably want to see.
1:44 That airplane tire was on fire
the breaks
It's probably fine
Fast und furherious Berlin drift
Good spot! Very interesting
on this type of planes, sometimes the oil impurities got on tire and then during landing, the friction could set it alight but it was quite common occurrence back then. They had land personnel aware of this they always had sand at hand.
The enemy would die laughing if they saw a granddaddy comfy chair fall out of a plane with a parachute on it.
It was only the parachute stowed in the comfy chair, he certainly wouldn't have jumped out of the plane with the chair LOL

It never stops to amaze me how much I still don't know about the war.
Me too and I feel like I’m obsessed, watching and learning every day. WAR IS AWFUL, let’s pray we, in the world will never have to go to war ever again 🙏🙏
Me too! It is amazing. I have read books I’ve seen documentaries I watch the history to it’s just amazing how much I don’t know and it’s not because I haven’t tried. Mask up stay safe and God bless you and yours
Me too who are these guys Hitler and Stalin?
This was the last great statement in the evolution of human existence and what a human is really capable of and the power struggle of said humans that came to play at the point Hitler took his philosophy, Stalin his and the Allies theirs and all together came to a head with pre nuclear war machines(until the very end) and all the strageties that ensued. Nothing will ever match all those variables in history again.
@@mikepastor.k6233 Oh Lord I have been praying for 5 years now. I do not want to see history repeat itself. There are too many similarities of the 1930s Germany that I see. I do hope you are right sir

Mark has the best channel. Unlike others, he does shitload of research.
But Mark have tendency to believe Nazi Goebbels bullshiteria (like Tiger's kill ratio which isn't mathematically possible, or Wittmann destroying 77 tanks with 40 rounds of ammo, only like 15 of which got tunsten warhead ....... while his death was perfect example of being a pathetic tank commander, leading whole platoon to obvious trap).
And this video is literally proof of that .... no way there was not a single tank or AT gun protecting Hitler's planned arrival. And they still had to run away with shitted pants from situation (22 T-34's) which would (according to Goebbels propaganda) be solved by any SS troop with slingshot.
So, yeah. Mark Felton has the best history channel .... but sometimes you need to ignore mind-boggling Nazi propaganda Mark fails to recognize.
He's pretty biased when it comes to personal opinions on the Nazi's.
@@eciekoc Well I’d hope so
This is top tier content. Thank you Dr. Felton!
I love this guy, vids aren’t too long and he has enough detail to make it interesting
Imagine having Hitler landing on his armchair in your backyard

@thelegend27 2.0 There's a sort of running gag in the Pirates of the Caribbean series of Captain Jack Sparrow saying "You will always remember this as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow" during his over-the-top escapes. It has thus come to be referenced in any scenario where someone (usually someone the enemy really wants to get, like Hitler) makes a narrow escape.

The thing is Hitler was even useful for Soviets as the talentless warlord, especially after the Stalingrad catastrophe. I'm afraid to imagine there was someone else instead of Hitler with his risky games. It's said Comintern agents prepared assassination attempt with a lot of grenades during another Hitler's performance but were stopped from Moscow.

Almost everyone is gone from that war now. When I was a kid, WWII vets were just in their 40's.
still plenty of nazi zombies
I know a ww2 vet sorta he was just 8 when the Japanese invaded Burma
He was the last member of his family while the Japanese tortured and killed his entire village he hid in a very small cave
When the British artillery regiments arrived to recapture mandalay he brought them pails of water
For them to drink , later when the British found out he was an orphan a corporal decided to adopt him
He lived in England until the Cold War and worked in the Deutschland democratic republic for 2 years
Until finally returning to Burma and starting a shrimping company in the lower Irrawaddy delta
He still lives next to my house
Its sad really, to see an entire generation go like that, especially with the world they lived in and the stuff they had seen.
Soon you will pass as well, old friend. 😁
Great work, Mark, as always
