As Albert Speer said in the World at War interviews, Bormann was "more powerful than Hitler". So I really appreciate the extensive detail in this series Mark, it is the most thorough account that I have seen anywhere.
Mark is a treasure of information. I wish we had his equivalent here in the states. If more Americans followed history, Trump would have never been elected.
@@ryanreedgibson Not received your rent payment yet ?
It's not uncommon in many power structures that the deputies and second in command are the ones who really control their organisation/country.
I love the W@W series, so many power players and first hand accounts from those who were part of it all.
Ryan Gibson if you would have learned anything from history Biden would never have been enabled to start ww3.
I don’t know, Dr. Felton, I’m more convinced now that Bormann escaped Germany and indeed wound up in Paraguay. Excellent research, I’m at the edge of my seat! Looking forward to the next one!
Given the discrepancies Dr. Felton has presented, I am beginning to change my mind and agree with you Daniel!
Died in Paraguay, his body then returned to Germany to be buried where it was found; to hide his escape after WWII? The plot thickens!
This expresses my thoughts exactly!!!
@@Simonize41 But what would be the motive?
Why did they only find a skull ?
I love these series where you go into so much detail and look at so many perspectives
Mark pronounces German words with such spot on accuracy every time. Gotta give him props for not only being a master of history but also Deutsch👏🏻
"spot on" is exaggerated, for an anglophone youtuber however, it's very well.
Sie sind kein Deutscher, oder?

This is story has more suspense than anything Netflix can create. Once again, well done, Mr Felton!
Also, seeing how suspicious German authorities behaved even in the 70s shows, how much influence old Nazis still had in Western German bureaucracy.
It didn't have to be Nazis. Bureaucrats always try to cover up the slightest error.
Ever more interesting, Mark!
Quit hustling history please lol
Dr. Felton once again delivers another classic 🔥
Yep, another nicked info from hard working people!
He still had to research.
Just when you think every story has been told about WWII, Dr Felton comes along and wows us all with a thorough and detailed documentary - looking forward to part 5, thanks again for such a great channel!
@Burr Anderson Doctor Felton is having a good try..! The impact of that war 80 + years on . For those of us that lived it Albeit, as young children never goes away!!!
God alone knows all of what happened.
Love Dr. Felton's content on UA-cam.
It's a treat for history lovers. 😍
no no înnnnn9
I feel privileged to be able to watch this for free. Thank you Dr Felton.
I agree but its worth a donation :)
You are very good at what you do Dr. Felton ! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Mark's videos are so thoroughly researched and beautifully presented that I often watch the same video numerous times. There is so much information and they are so absorbing that they demand a third or fourth viewing.
Excellent work as always Dr Felton!
I concur.
Next find out what really happened to Jochen Peiper. I've come to be skeptical of the official story after learning of the extremely well developed exit pipelines of ex-Nazi's.A lot of problems with that story too.
Outstanding Research yet again Mr. Felton!
Thanks Dr. Felton!
Wow! This is what makes history so fascinating. It's always evolving.
Absolutely amazing blown away by the research
I'm so excited literally been waiting for this video since the last one.
Very good series. Secrets, faulty memories, and lies always lead to a great amount of intrigue.
Yes,I agree; just remember, Martin Bormann's skull is more cognizant than Joe Biden.
Schopenhauer, I think, but you would obviously know better. How strange that you're so busy hurling abuse at me that you don't disclose the source of the quote yourself.
I always learn more from Dr. Felton’s videos than all other sources combined when it comes to the WWII historical record.
This is the greatest cliff hanger I've ever watched, standing ovation, for this very intriguing story and at the next turn, could go in the absolute opposite direction...Thanks Dr. Felton for the great series, be well...😎
I always crank up the music at the beginning of each episode. Cool stuff.
Thank you so much for your work on this channel as well as your war stories channel. My wife and I have five small children and I work three different jobs. My AirPods and this channel are two of my best friends! One of the jobs I do is cleaning a doctors office at night… I have listened to every single thing you have produced and always anticipate when a new video drops! I don’t always get to see the video, because I have to tuck the phone in my pocket and just listen while I work but I still really enjoy your efforts here. Please consider doing something about the life of Corrie Ten Boom and her family’s contribution to rescuing Jews during the holocaust. Thanks!
Much love Dr Felton. The music as your video begins, sends chills down my spine. Immediately i feel as though i am there in Germany. Yet i love your videos. You are so thorough. Your command of the German language is awesome. Sharon from South Africa.
Superb as always. Truly look forward to your videos.
If I remember correctly the skull was located just as Ladislas Farago was about to publish a book with help from Argentine Military Intelligence officers detailing the work that Juan Peron had done to help Bormann in his escape to Argentina. The ruling military junta had thrown in the towel and were allowing Peron to return from exile and run for President of Argentina. The military intelligence officers were trying to remind voters of Peron's Nazi ties. When Bormann's skull was discovered just as Farago's book was about to come out it was completely discredited and Peron went on to be elected. I think that the motive for relocating Bormann's remains from Paraguay to Berlin was to prevent Peron's return to power from being derailed. If so, the deception was successful. It may not even have been Nazis who removed it, but Peron supporters.
They could, indeed, be both. Nazis had a vested interest in returning Peron to power.
Excellent detective work Mark. Thank you.
Dr Felton has to be one of the preeminent world authorities on all things WW2 related! Your knowledge defies words.
Loving this mini series Mark, keep up the great work and efforts uploading these for us, 💯🇬🇧👋
I'm loving the brief but loud music that ends each presentation, excellent for headphone users.
Dr. Felton, You made me laugh out loud when you said (half way into the video) “Now for the weird part of the story.” What a tale. Excellent job of piecing all the bits together…so to speak. 👍
Love these type of series you have been doing!
Sorry to hear about your monarch, Mark. Thanks for the upload. Fantastic as always.
Absolutely wonderful work. Thank you Sir.
Yes, very excellent work Dr Felton.
Anyone else here putting together the pieces in anticipation of Part 5 of find the Fuhrer?
Because this very episode jumped into my mind when watching the end of part 4. Bormann's real story may be far more haunting than many realize...
Outstanding work Mark. Thank you very much for this wonderful library of information.
Excellent mini series on this World War Two mystery, thank you for all the work and research Dr. Felton!
🔴 Absolutely well done & definitely keep it up for the extensive work! 👍👏👍👏👍
Woke up to this video thank you dr Felton 🙌🔥 love this series
Brilliantly researched Dr Felton.
Awesome series Dr. Felton! Always a 👍Your hardwork is much appreciated, and videos are very fascinating. Cheers from Niagara 🇨🇦✌️
Did you know canada has been "non nationalist" since 2015, and our immigration rate is 3x our birth rate?
This is civil war by design
Don't worry though, JT bought 10 covid vaccines for each of us
The level of research and detail in this series has been incredible - thank you
Ooh, this is good stuff! I’m anxious to see the next installment.
Always late to the party but never missed the show Mark felt number one in my book
SUPERB! 👏
As someone who has studied this subject extensively, the only thing that needs to be said.
Well done Mark, this is your very best work.
Thanks for your detailed work. I have enjoyed all.of your posts. From New Zealand❤
This has been an interest of mine since I watched " The World at War " episodes - one had a British Military Intelligence officer claiming that he had seen Borman walking up a ramp onto a Ship bound for South America. When he informed his Superiors no one believed him and the ship set sail.
These episodes have been the best compilation of the evidence that Borman didn't die in 1945 in Berlin.
I am waiting in anticipation for the last episode.
* Rewinds all "The World At War" episodes . remember the intro music and who was it narrating?
@@Rusty_Gold85 - Charlton Heston narrated
@@xl5388 it was Laurence Olivier
@@iluvcurryandbeer Ok Heston narrated Secrets of War: The Cold War. A different series, very good though.
@@Rusty_Gold85 Sir Laurence Olivier.Haunting music.
Curiouser and curiouser! Loving this!
Outstanding ! I can't wait till Episode 5 !!
Superb as per usual good Sir , roll on the next episode
When i 1st started watching mark, i would always think how mark could be a Dr. He so smart and he knows a whole helluvalot. Then i read the description and found that mark indeed is a Dr. Thank u for all the knowledge u share with people like ne. Thank you Dr. Mark Fulton
Amazing work, as always.
Cheers from Portugal
All the best to everyone
Somehow the further we get from the past the more we know. Amazing as always!
I'm loving this series.
Excellent channel so simple to understand. Great job
Bormann never bores, the Felton touch helps, though.
Excellent Analysis Dr Felton, a riveting Series!
Such a fantastic series, amazing work Mark. I was never aware of this story and it tracks like any of the best spy novels.
excellent research. Kudos Mr Felton
I've been waiting for this final installment! Even though he was found long ago, I love hearing the details of all the stories.
TOTALLY GRIPPING! I'm hanging on every word! THANK YOU SO MUCH DR MARK FELTON!
Terrific work
I'm so fascinated with your excellent videos
Outstanding video and presentation
This series has been most interesting. Bravo!
After watching this, did a search and found a BBC artitcle about Bormann's remains having been identified along with a picture of his skull which looks like the Stumpfegger skull in Mark's video with the big missing chunk. Mark did say the skulls were often mixed up!
The media both print and on tv always show the wrong skull. They always show Stumpfeggers. This story is total crap. DNA was taken proven to be Bormann's by the samples taken from the Bormann surviving children. The body was shown to be of a 45 year old man -- Bormann was born in 1900 -- he was 45 in 1945. So unless he found the fountain of youth he never went anywhere near South America. And how did "they" keep Stumpfeggers body on ice to rebury it later with Bormann's after his death later on. Total nonsense. Felton also makes a ton of mistakes in his videos. He really isn't an expert -- he is laughed at by the real research community of which I belong.
Thanks for upload! Another very interesting item!
My goodness this is an amazing channel!
Great series Dr. Felton.
Very interesting, amazing research….thx, Andrew
The story gets more strange and more convoluted at every turn.
Once again Mark,
An excellent episode. I just love the history you provide. I believe you will go on for years as there is so much mystery surrounding the years of war.
Serialized content, in 2022. Kept me on edge. Good on Mark Felton. 👍
This is excellent. You have probably done the most (publicly reported) research on Borman since the 1970's. It would be interesting to see what he would have tried to do with his time when he wasn't out at the dentist.
They same could be asked about Axmann's activities after the war, if he was intent on 'keeping the flame alive'.
This needs to be a mini series 👍👍👍
Don't forget the Jorge Colotto testimony. How Mr. Felton untangled such a massive mess of discordance into a coherent tale is very damn impressive.
Your videos never cease to intrigue me. As a fellow WW2 historian I must say I have learned more from you than anyone else
Definitely my favourite series so far!
Excellent detailed presentation which makes such an intricate story so clear.
Fantastic series Professor Felton, and the mystery continues...........
Brilliant work sir!
Very thorough research Mark. Another first class video!
Curiouser and curiouser (so to speak) and a very well told story
Thank you Dr Felton for this interesting and detailed series!!!!
Dr. Felton I absolutely love this series. Thank you sir.
This has been the most interesting series that you have put out sir. I look forward to seeing more.
This is brilliant, forensic history at its best
What is truly amazing is that for a very short time of the Third Reich, so much happened and so many questions arise from this period of 1933 - 1945 and beyond. There seems to be no end to all the activities and stories of WW2. Thanks to Dr. Felton for the telling of these stories.
Excellent series, with so much information to take in. Thank you.
Only Dr. Felton could provide such detail in a compelling mystery story!
Fascinating. Cannot wait for the next part. As always, brilliant detective work.
I'm delighted that you didn't simply upload this as a single show because this now documents the Bormann story from the last, so to speak, to the end and gives the seminal book Nazi in Exile - Paul Manning (CBS) the recognition its always deserved, kudos Dr Felton..
Great series! Looking forward to the next episode!
Thank you for this episode Dr. Felton
Absolutely brilliant, thanks for the history lesson Mark.
Fascinating series! After watching your videos for a couple of years this series finally made me feel like I should support you on Patreon. Until this 3rd video in the series I've always been in the camp that Bormann died/was killed in Berlin at war's end. You've made me a believer that this story definitely smells. Can't wait to see the next chapter!
When ever i hear the opening music of a Mark Felton Productions video i always hum along in the knowledge i'm about to be treated to a great historical video 😊
Thank you again for the video and the information you bring forward. Excellent as always.
Best documentary series ever!
Brilliant...as usual. We are very fortunate in having you provide us with the best quality historical videos available.
