Why is KZhead recommending me Real Housewives of the Third Reich
4 Real.🥴
But ya still watch it anyway.
Hahaha 😂
RHTR? where from? Germany or Argentina?
I'd watch that
That Himmler's adopted son survived the war isn't a big thing. That he survived Soviet captivity is. Especially with that name.
No doubt
Indeed yes as is the fate of too many of these bright, beautiful and innocent ladies *
Probably figured it would be too obvious if he died in their hands
You could just tell people it's a coincidence.
@@DaveSCameron go to horny jail
How refreshing (& a relief) not to have to put up with annoying background music, thank you! And a narrator with a pleasant voice and good pronunciation, pleasantly neutral without being boringly monotone - well done, very professional.
How nice to see a normal video without hate and demonizing the nazis. Refreshing 😊
@@chrisbatson3402 exactly
You nailed his voice.
@@chrisbatson3402 Ypur missing the point mate. If he demonised the Nazis of course they deserve it. What are you trying to say that they were good people or what. These were the most dispic humans to have existed. Murdering millions of Jews, gypsy and anyone that they consider sub human. Choose your words carefully.
@@glenradford5988 they are 2sides to every story especially the side of the countries that won the war. Choose what Hollywood propaganda we believe to be true carefully my friend.
I heard all these names growing up. My great grand mother who passed away 2 years ago at the age of 90 had a husband in Germany that died before she fled to the US. I always suspected they were Nazis, we’ve since found Nazi clothing she brought with her. She never told anyone who he was and she changed her last name back to her maiden name. The mystery will always bother me.
If she was 90 when she died in 2020, she was born in 1930 and too young to have been married during WWII.
@@LynxSouth She still would have been able to live through it.
@@isaacnavarro3017 The comment isn't about whether she lived during WWII, it's about the man's claim that his 15-year-old or younger grandmother was married to Nazi.
@@LynxSouth the current republicans recently made child marriage legal in the south. Supposedly this occurred during the civil war time before ww2 so not impossible.
According to NS Law in 1938 .........Men had to be 21 Women 16 , in some Cases Men were allowed to marry at a younger Age but they had to be at least 18 then! So 15 , Girl wouldn’t have been Legal then. But we don’t know how accurate all Data is here. The Clothes that were found could Help to find out the Rank and Function!

That's awesome, Sal! I'm glad that unlike most people your age, youre able to use youtube to access all this great content! Best wishes, Sir!
‘He was a priest, left priesthood and married a former nun’ That was the most hilarious thing I’ve heard 😂😂
All in all it's more a tad bit unsettling,depressing...but altogether unsurprising to me. Mostly
There's nothing wrong with changing your mind and wanting to start a family.
Lmaoo
Not as funny as my Ex's parents... His dad was an atheist and his mother was a nun. They both became Christians 😂 good for them
The descent into evil rarely happens in a single leap, but in many steps, initially probably small, subtle steps.
It's amazing to hear how many of them weren't disgusted by their parents actions once they became adult and how the publicly defended them. I would think as an adult they would seen how wrong their fathers (parents) were. It shows just how deep hate can go
Go back to your beloved homeland
You forget they were brought up in an environment of Nazi ideology. You can't even call it "Brainwashed" because that was the only "truth" these children were thought. Something you experienced/learned from a VERY young age will always remain in your system. No matter how hard they tried to Denazify them after the war. Think of yourself, as a person: the values you learned, all the stuff at school: it formed and created who you are today; character differences aside. Same goes for the Nazi's kids. As far as they were concerned their parents were just normal employees of The Reich; doing their thing...
But they grew up loving mom and dad and being loved by them in return. Finding out they were very different people in a time of upheaval two or more decades before would shake them up but not change the fact that they know, love, trust and revere the people who have been GOOD and loving parents to them. Who they were wouldn't matter so much to their children. Who they became and still are is what matters to them. You cannot fault a child (of any age) from looking at it that way. That war criminal is NOT the person they've known and respected their whole lives. The war criminal is someone they don't know. Of course they will publically defend them! Wouldn't you? They're your mom and dad.
@@cliffpinchon2832 Please enlighten me with your wisdom then because standing from here your comment smells a bit like bs to me....
@@cliffpinchon2832 If I'm reading your original comment correctly, I think what you were really trying to say was that in Germany, the only education children received from within was in fact propaganda. They knew nothing else other than what lies Goebbels wanted the children to believe, including the children of all German leadership.
You are a stud for taking the time to dig up all this information. I loved it. Kick ass job.
Seeing them with their own children it's so hard to understand how they could be so evil and how they could have killed and treated so many other children so terribly, their children weren't to blame but the husbands and wives deserved way more karma than they got
I think they had a love for their own but hated their enemies. At least that's how it would make sense to me. And sadly, human nature can be very ugly, especially in the right circumstances. It's easy to care for others when things are going well but if the zombie apocalypse or war happened then we would turn against each other for survival.
I think that even if they had hate for their enemies, it would still take an extremely evil person to shoot pregnant women in the back of their heads, kill up to 1.5 million jewish children because of their race or not measuring up to what was expected, thousands more from other races were also targeted, pregnant women, children and the elderly where the first to be gassed, others in concentration camps were left to starve or die from hypothermia or disease simply because they were of no use, children were experimented on, raped and so many other atrocities. How could anyone walk past a starving, cold child and turn a blind eye without being evil? How could you kill babies just born, or line 2 yr olds up and shoot them in their heads without having any sympathy? These people were the embodiment of humanities worst traits and I hope their after life is hell
Thata because they were not so evil.
@@wilderchannel6879 just that proves that you might not know that much about it all. Jews were not even overrepresented in the camps. It was jews, romanis, disabled, criminals, slavs, refugees. There were far more people dying in the slavic camps. Gulag etc
Not hard to understand. Human nature is ugly. Just look today how ppl are easily taken in by political race wars/ hate.
Some of the Nazi wives were more diehard than their husbands. Great content Dr Felton.
Ilse Koch comes to mind. A demented sadist personified.
@@thegunslinger1363 Magda Goebbels too. Killing her 6 children is pretty crazy and tragic. She couldn't bear to live in a world without National Socialism or AH.
@@Roller_Ghoster Wtf fucking bitch killed her own kids .
@@Roller_Ghoster True, but being captured by the soviets when you are Goebbels child you don't know what could happen
@@Ropetor except that they could have been brought to the west of germany, to be captured by the americans. some of the people that fled to the west offered to take the children with them, but the Goebbels refused, the reason being what Roller Ghoster said. That is pretty sick.
I cared for a lady who came from Germany on the kinder transport. She was so grateful for everything. Grateful for bring allowed into the UK, the love and support of the Foster family and the friends she made, her husband and his family for welcoming her. Grateful for the NHS, she was so kind so sweet.
The children of the Kinder Transport were, however, Jewish.
I was going to say Kindertransport were German Jewish children whose parents sent them to safety in England and in many cases the parents wete murdered in Concentration Camps.
@@ShelliMansfeld not just German but Jewish children and other persecuted children from many European countries
@@justtracie8636 The Jewish were persecuted for killing Jesus. Man forgets, God doesn't. Please remember the entire story. God sent Jesus to send the Jews the amorites a message. If you don't stop sacrificing children to Moloch (roe v wade) God will destroy you. So Jesus said fine sacrifice me as well. When I return everyone and everything you know will be destroyed as you have destroyed so many lives. Then God assigned Satan with dominion over every realm timeline and dimension God told the devil to make everyone sign a soul contract with the devil and God. Witches are always punished. Sacrificing Jesus was signing their own sacrifice. Enslaved by every god and God that exists. Jesus said if you do it again it's your funeral, they did it anyways. On the surface they're extremely sweet but behind closed doors they're using adrenochrome taking an innocent live to prolong their appearance. Without it they shrivel up into the dust we were created from.
I am still a little amazed how much Mark has mapped out about WWII the other historians think about tanks and tactics and where and when major things happened But Mark is looking deeper then that
I cared for a woman at a nursing home in the U.S. who had been a mistress to a high level Nazi officer. After the war, she wandered around Europe with a shaved head and two young daughters, depending on the kindness of strangers to feed her and her children. Ended up in Lichtenstein, then the U.S. Became a U.S. citizen shortly before dying in her early 90's. She was mean as a snake, biting, cussing and spitting on anyone who came near her.
Wow i didn’t see that ending coming 😂😒
Now that is interesting. I used to take care of a woman who grew up in Berlin during the war. She was six when the Nazis took over. She said her mother was anti nazi and she would tell her "Mom watch what you say or you will get arrested." She is still alive and is the kindest sweetest woman that ever lived!!!! The woman you are talking about MAY have had dementia. I have talked to relatives of people who have dementia and they said there relatives were never like that until they got the disease. The war or perhaps guilt may have even made her crazy. You have a good day and thank you for taking care of those less fortunate. It takes a special person to care.
A German here. My grandmother was a nurse. She survived the war with her 6 children, in the post-war period 2 children died as a result of starvation and polio. She did her best, but she was alone. She developed heart disease and died of a heart attack at the age of 64. I remember an incident when she visited her again in the hospital because of her illness. Well, I was still very young and visiting sick people is often very boring for children. So I go out of the room and walked down the hall. In another room two nurses were talking to each other. "who brings "The Dragon" their tea?" Nobody wanted to be the one. And I thought, "Oh, you have a dragon here too?" (I was still in my "Prince saves princess from dragons"- phase). I was very surprised when it became clear that my dear grandma was "the dragon". I knew her as a gentle, lovable and warm-heart person, she always worked a lot and was otherwise full of strength ... but she hated being sick and helpless. She was a good nurse, but she was a terrible patient. None of the nurses could do it well enough for her. She was like a drill sergant ... hence the nickname "The Dragon". ;) You`re not the same Person when you are sick .
I have cared for priests and nuns who were dying and they were either very demanding or very restless and fretful.
@@andreamuller9009 I learned a lot working in a nursing home with those with dementia and Alzheimer's disease. My motto was It's not the person, it's the disease.
As a German who also has a PHD in History and focusing on German, especially Contemporary German History & works with the IFZ in München, i really gotta say that Mark Felton's Videos on these Topics are the best you can get in English on KZhead, i never noticed any Exaggerations nor Downplaying of any Detail of a certain Topic, which is very neutral and what a proper Historian is meant to do. Same goes for the Fact that Mark doesn't cherry pick nor leave some Details out in order to "present" it in a certain Way. This is one of the most important Qualities a Historian has to have. And yes, there are those who do all of these Things i just mentioned and the Viewer/Reader will never notice it because they're not knowledgable about the Topic. So if you're someone who is just interested in these Topics, but didn't study them, you're at the Right Place. I put a ton of Importance into Accuracy and Neutral Presentation, and i have yet to watch a Video of Mark i wasn't completely satisfied with. Prost and Cheers from Berchtesgaden here in the Bavarian Alps

Always TIP TOP Mr. Felton. I never miss the opportunity to view any and all of your programmes. The topics are refreshingly arcane and thoroughly documented. Nothing compares to your insight and scholarship. Bravo
Ironic because Draco Malfoy is basically a Wizarding nazi.
Well made documentary. I'm astounded that they were allowed to keep castles and have any kind of help quite frankly.
We had a German woman who lived down my street, she always kept to her self, I went over one day when her dog got out, an we sit around an talked for a while an she was a really nice woman, she came to the us when she was 18 her father was a SS officer an she had all his ribbons an medals, gun, every thing. Before she died she gave me all of it. I still have it. She did not approve of what he did,she made sure I knew that.out of respect to her I’ll never get rid of what she gave me
Cool story.
Out of respect? Nothing having anything to do with the SS deserves respect.
@@lazyriver53 I disagree, they fought for what they believed in, though it was not a good decision, he still fought for his country
Out of respect for the lady...thank you for keeping the history she bequeathed to you.
That’s really cool.
It’s expressly challenging to have empathy or compassion for them as human beings, being that they had absolutely none for so many others. Harrowing.
True.
The children too?
@@tolkienjr9609 that’s just sad. 😢
What would you do if you lived in Nazi Germany as a full blooded German? Do you honestly believe that you would stop the war or something or save several people?
@@notrealy180217 I’m pretty certain I wouldn’t have been brainwashed into believing eugenic theories and been exterminating people. If that’s what you mean. It’s true though, that many ordinary citizens didn’t realize the extent of the atrocities occurring inside the camps until after the war, who would imagine?
On the one hand, the kids can't help who their parents were or being indoctrinated and it's tempting to feel sorry for them because they were too young to fully understand what was happening, but then seeing Edda and Gudrun grow up to become rampant apologists as adults even after learning the full truth of their parents' barbarity is wild.
Mark always does a great job. He is thorough, totally objective and coherent

Just found your brilliant channel... Thank you deeply for these uploads. I feel it my duty & honor as a human being to study and educate myself all that I can on the subject of my ancestors. Their murders and stories of survival have always been a guiding force in my life. Thank you again for this magnificent channel. I will be sharing it in my social media groups 👍👍⭐⭐
Fascinating. The photos and videos matched with the script are so effectively presented
My aunt married into a German family. Her father in law was pulled out of school and forced to join the Hitler youth or be shot on the spot. Her mother in law was forced to sew uniforms for the Nazis as a 9 year old. Pretty fucked up. They left Germany before they were 20 and never looked back. They both went back to Germany in the 80's for a holiday, but still couldn't enjoy themselves or come to terms with what had happened. They taught us a lot about how things can get out of control when one or two idiots convince others to join them.
They never insisted that any children join Hitler Youth or be shot, that sounds strange to me.. There's no records of anything like that happening. Children were treated with the highest regard at that time in Germany.
@@RabbitFighter666 yeah, I think I'll believe people I actually know who went through it. It was an honor for some of the kids to join 'junior ss ' type of clubs, but when they started to get short on fighting men, they took everybody who was able to fight, willing or not. The last soldiers left in Germany to fight were kids and teenagers. There's a lot of things buried in history that only the people who were there will ever know. I'm not trying to make you out to be a liar or anything, I'm just going with the facts that they told me.
😂😂😂😂 You really believe that? One Day the world will Know the truth about the zionist jews.
@@dcc-randomstorieswithmel7424 quiet wench, adults are talking.

Even the way Mark pronounces the German names shows the attention to detail he puts in as compared to other channels that just butcher it
He pronounces most of the words far better than any English-speaking video on KZhead that I've seen. However, he pronounces Carin/Karin, my own name, wrong. Considering how well he does overall, I was a bit disappointed 😛. (It's a long Aaaaah. Like in Do re mi FA so LA ti do)
I went to German language classes and quickly realized I just didn't want to devote my time to such uncomfortable teachings. The guttural actions necessary to pronounce the words were just too much. If I had learned the language then I would have been a candidate to travel to Germany which was my goal. I just couldn't handle the guttural language.
@@redmondmacdonagh7557 Well I got that from the teacher. Maybe I had the wrong teacher. I meant no disrespect. Maybe that's why I dropped the class, not feeling something was right. I don't know. Thank you for your clarification.
Well, in English the word secretary is pronounced sec-re-tary NOT sec-e-tary. Terribly easy to say, but many can't get it right, like Mark here.
He only hearts comments that are about him 😆
This is fantastic. I've never seen these photos before, not had I thought much about the "Princesses" that anyone could guess must have existed. Thanks for bringing this before the public, lest we ever forget.
Brilliant research, equitable expositions. I just cant stop feeling uneasy at your fascination with this terrible period, no less than with my own.
Their normal, warm, joyous interactions with each other are so scary to me.
@@mightyobserver9899 People see humanly footage of Nazis and still live in denial, telling themselfs those people had to be utter monsters. While the Capitalist/Communist New World Order is happening.
@@TheBlackfall234 I’m sure the same could be said with any racists, they didn’t see Jews as humans nor did they personally carry out the murder. Doesn’t mean they are necessarily psychopaths only antisemetic to the worst degree. It’s easy to tell order someone else to commit murder while you enjoy time with your family.
They were fighting for a cause that was important to them , they were passionate about it
@@hoj2533 Yeah lots of people tend to say "these people were psychopaths this is why they did it" - not only does it mean that they don't believe humans are capable of this, but that "only crazy people do"... nah, I know plenty of people with a mental condition who would never kill jews on a industrial scale.
So many crazy nazy symphatisers here..
None of us want to believe we are capable of evil, exploiting the fruits of evil, or turning a blind eye to evil... but this sobering documentary should remind us that evil can grow in anyone, for the sake of family, fame, and power. It is convenient to pretend that Nazis came from nowhere, but the truth is that many were normal humans pursuing what they wanted, albeit at high cost. We have to be vigilant about the state of our hearts so that we don't turn a blind eye to suffering and injustice in our individual quests for peace and prosperity.
Best comment on here
The clothes we wear are produced with child labor. Many devices in our homes come from China, a country that treats certain minorities in horrific ways. Yet, despite knowing this, we look away and keep buying those products. Thus silently approving, or at least supporting, their practices...
@@DolleHengst We are taught to dissociate, the giant propaganda machine never stopped.
@@DolleHengst You're absolutely right
Self preservation and selective focus. Two human traits that permit and justify pretty much any conceivable behaviour.
Around 19:34 you get to see the look on Göring’s face when he’s detained. Just for a moment, but it looks like bewilderment and disbelief that the game is over. It’s really satisfying to see.
Mark Felton at last does the best documentaries that are impartial and fantastic
I'm surprised that goering of all people was the faithful husband
wtf i just watched ur video
I don't think he was naturally a hedonist he just had addiction problems.
Food was more important than b#*ches.
@@Arkantos117 He was definitely a hedonist (which is not negative nor a mental illness). Regarding painkillers, he had legitimate need for them, having been shot in the leg as an infantry officer, and acquiring Rheumatoid Arthritis in the cold wet trenches of [WWI]. Then, being shot in the hip during the Beer Hall Peutsch. He spent time in a sanitarium (hospital) after the war, reducing his addiction and returning to an functional life. Today musicians and hollywood stars are praised for announcing their drug addictions and going into rehab. Goering succeeded treatment without modern meds, or psychology understanding. His use of painkillers never seems to have affected his life or work again. shrug. [promoting fair and unemotional history understanding].
@@KB4QAA 👍
My whole life, I never thought about the family's of these Nazi leaders. Thank you for the video
I agree. We often forget about the evil that they spread throughout their lineage as well. It's disheartening to know how many "former" Nazi's, Nazi's families, and sympathizers moved to South America (and all over Europe and the US) and started their own communities and ignored the fact they needed to pay for their support of racist genocide. Evil will always slip through the cracks if it's allowed.
@Quaker 2019 it’s so hard to fathom their defiance. I would love to know what they really thought about the atrocities being committed. Were they power hungry, complicit or brain washed die hard nazis?
Same here. Thank you. Women unrepentant and children defending their evil fathers.
@@crankyoldperson6871 it’s more of a Brain washed die hard nazi. They were influenced by their parents from young. Though, it largely depends on their age and how much of a ‘brainwashing’ happened to them. You can watch the movie, the boy in striped pyjamas to get a slight knowledge about this. The movie doesn’t say everything, but it’s enough to get what the children was happening
You see that's the scariest part about the Nazis... they were Everyday People, incapable of egregious evil
Very informative and seems complete. Thank you for all the pictures along with
When you think of how long these men, their wives and children lived, in contrast to the millions of Jewish men, their wives and children who were murdered, you can't help but think: How unfair...
That's what I was thinking too

Its interesting to see color footage of them all at the Berghof. What' s so scary is how relaxed they all are, while the rest of Europe was at war.
Yes, they basically just disconnected themselves from the reality they had created. This was never more apparent than when Hitler was asleep late into the morning on D-Day, unable to authorize anything, because he was in the habit of staying up late watching movies.
Their twisted ideology ensured that they were absolved of all guilt - or so they thought.
still happening today all over the world. the leaders we have cause wars all over and live like kings while the rest of us suffer. nothings changed. its just hidden by the media still as it was then.

The fact that we get free documentaries on KZhead by Dr Felton is truly a gift 👍
ABSOLUTELY !!!! Best site to learn what really transpired in those momentous years.
KZhead brings us a lot of good stuff. Finding the best of the good stuff is always such a treat for those of us with hungry minds. I come a bit late to this channel but from the comments I can tell how well respected Dr. Felton is.
Mom and Dad got married at a USO hall before he shipped out. His commanding officer had to get the jeweler to open his store for the ring because it was Sunday. No pictures, no dress, I don't think she even had flowers. They're side by side, still, at Willamette National Cemetery.
Finally an adult reportage without hyperbole and histrionics. What a well done documentary. More Dr Felton, more!

A friend of mine, Thomas Lewis (Lou) Maxwell was a ball turret gunner on B17 “Paradise Lost”, shot down and then he became a POW. Near the end of his capitivity, he was becoming unacceptably hostile to his SS guards. Mr. Maxwell told me that an SS guard took him into a room and explained forcefully and tactfully to a young Lou Maxwell that he needed to behave, and that his friends would be there soon to release him. Mr. Maxwell credits his survival to that SS guard, God bless that SS guard that kept my friend alive. Mr. Maxwell went on to be a USAF retiree, and a mentor of mine.

@@gopro369 You cant claim that. You can claim many, but not most.
It's no surprise that these wives and daughters clung to the legacies of their husbands and fathers. In the Nazi regime, they had status and material comfort, even as their countrymen suffered privation and death. After the war, they were reduced to being "normal" people, who might have to actually work to support themselves. How could they not have nostalgia for the "good old days"? I'm sure that Gudrun Himmler figured out that by allowing herself to be a "princess" for the neo-Nazi movement, she could once again have status and attention.
Maybe she genuinely felt like her dads reputation was treated unfairly.

@@aw2589 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@suk.489 wait, did you just apply the word “principles” to someone who supported the cause of the Nazis? That’s quite a stretch.

Almost as if the camps weren't what we are told they were.
She really loved it. While Goebbels' poor children have been complete innocent (my mother knew the eldest one, and we have been a social democratic family. These children wasn't even in HJ/BDM, and both Grandmothers of them were leftwinged. They searched desperate for the fate of the little ones in 1945, never heard anything, which must have been real hell) Gudrun, called "Püppi" (Dolly) was a Hardcore Nazi until her death, and helped Nazis in a huge secret network.

Q
I'm stuck on that scene from Der Untergang-- "FEGELEIN! FEGELEIN! FEGELEIN!"
He came across well in that movie. As the one of them with any sense. But if he had any sense he wouldn't have been in the bunker in the first place. By that I mean that the war had been obviously lost for a long time.
I've seen so many of those parody videos that for a while I only recognized some of the historical figures by whatever recurring gag they had.
@@Arigator2 You really shouldn't depend upon movies for historical knowledge. Fegelein was anything but having "any sense." When they court martialed him, he was so drunk and nonsensical that Mohnke actually pitied him.
@@panderson9561 - i certainly was not relying on the movie for history, if anything i was doing the opposite. Also running off and getting drunk was the first sensible thing he did. He should have done it much much sooner.
He really wormed his way into that inner circle. Just look at him then look at Eva's sister!! Peeewww!! He got what was comin' to him!
Great topic again dr Felton, love the channel❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
I enjoyed this thoroughly - very interesting. Thank you! 😊
Just when you think Mark can’t POSSIBLY find more footage or produce new stories...BOOM!
He's the infamous 'cameraman'.
I've yet to watch this channel or his audio only channel and not be blown away
He will even start new wars in order to lavish us with historical tales!
@@MrBannystar 🤣🤣🤣
@@MrBannystar especially with the truth . That Hilter never died until 1984. With the release of these FBI documents, it certainly seems that the most notorious leader in history escaped Germany and lived a peaceful life in the foothills of the Andes Mountains in South America. And as if that news wasn’t bizarre enough, a photo has emerged recently which purports to show an elderly 95-year-old Hitler posing with his girlfriend in Brazil in 1984. FBI: Hitler Fled In Submarine Red Flag News reports: Related Articles Newly declassified FBI documents prove that the government knew Hitler was alive and well, and living in the Andes Mountains long after World War II.
Imagine a wedding where the witnesses are Himmler and Martin Bormann and the reception's back at Adolf Hitler's gaff. Mind you, I've been to worse.
Such an underrated comment lol
Couldn' t stop laughing at that one! And I, too, have been to weddings like that!
Pauly Flyer Imagine Hitler and his staff doing the hokey pokey and the chicken dance.
provide the context of the "worse" you speak of...
You wrote that months ago, but you made me choke on my tea this morning. Thank you for the laugh!
Thank-you. What remarkable stories. And as you said, remarkable longevities!
There is only a thumbs down option. Such meticulous research deserves a thumbs up. Thank you Mr Felton.
These documentaries are absolutely OUTSTANDING! I grew up in Berlin before the wall came down, as a USArmy brat, and lived in one of the old estates owned by an SSmember..or so I was told. We lived very close to one of Hitlers main bunkers. It was HUGE.
Did you get off on it
Karl Von Eberfeld-Dunquartzhausen ...Karen must have been there...ha...
If Hitler wouldn't commit killing others USA Couldn't participate in WWll If There was no US Germany would win & Would /will be super in the world
This movie is extremely poor and filled with errors.
@@onepluslatest Japan got the US in the war, not Germany.
Emmy Goering ended up with the beautiful necklace belonging to Adele Bloch Bauer that was featured in the Klimt painting of her, Woman in Gold. The necklace was never recovered. It is deeply saddening that such a beautiful artifact disappeared for all time, however, it galls me to my core that such a vile creature as Goering ever touched the treasured gift (from her husband) that belonged to the beautiful, vibrant, Adele. There is some comfort in the fact that after so many years the painting of Adele was finally returned to her family. So many belongings of Jewish families were confiscated by the Nazis and never returned to the few who survived. The movie “Woman in Gold” is the story of Adele’s portrait and how it was finally recovered by her niece. It is a story worth watching and knowing!
Omg!
Wild imagining Ava Braun pleading for some other guy's mercy to her husband or the guards...... so great how much we know about them - the fact so much of this history was able to be recorded in insane detail.
Another fascinating video from Dr Felton
My brain releases dopamine every time I hear Marks intro
You shouldn't be so impressed with him. Felton has consistently labeled the Nazi party as being RIGHT wing - which is not true. The National Socialists were Left wing in both Political practice, and their very actions. There is nothing right wing about the Nazis whatsoever.
@@quarters-eye8922 Spotted a Qanon.
@@quarters-eye8922 I enjoy the stories and sure sometimes not everything is correct but i still get new information i didn’t know previously
@@306motovlogs5 mark is right, they were right wing fascists even though they called themselves national socialists. They oppressed millions, didn’t distribute wealth, and......all the the rest. North Korea calls themselves the Democratic People's Republic of Korea but would you consider theirs a democracy? Nope. The argument that Nazis aren’t (extreme) right wing is used by the ignorant or people who are trying to push an agenda or an ideology. Hence why I had a chuckle and commented, you see it so often.
@@quarters-eye8922 nationalism, low time preference, traditional values are ALL right wing values. Stop being an NPC. NatSocs are a centre-right party.
When the notification popped up I clicked without hesitation as I know the video will be high quality. 🙂👍🏻

How do you know so much history. It’s amazing the amount of knowledge you have!
"Coming on the back of Heinrich Himmler." Is probably the funniest line I've ever heard in a Mark Felton video.
“Parallel Marriages. “. That’s a good one.
‘My wife doesn’t mind if I sleep with other women and nor do I’.
1+1=3, 2+2=5 and so on
Himmler really stretching the take your child to work day..yeesh
Yes ,Quite sickening taking a child to his concentration camps .Worse was that even after that she ended up a great supporter of her father and Nazis though out her life .Obviously evil can get passed down the family.

Another top notch video! Thank you!
I’m always amazed that not only Mark Felton is able to get this film footage, but the fact the footage wasn’t destroyed!
Mark’s the History Professor I wish iI had in school. Presentation, historical accounts and accuracy, the stories and events that the history books would never touch. Such depth and rich history you could study for a lifetime.
And scary nazi music!
Your footage is incredible!
This is so interesting. Great amount of research!
Rommel’s son Manfred had an interesting future. He became a good friend of both Patton’s and Montgomery’s own sons.
Rommel's son Manfred was mayor of Stuttgart 1974-1996. Died 2013 aged 84.
You often hear of things like this. Perhaps because they are so powerful and view war as a game. Many top world leaders and business CEOs are securely allies yet appear competitors, makes you wonder!
@@mickmeadows That's a bit of a stretch there regarding power. We're talking the sons of generals. Once wars end those generals tend to fade... I'm also sure you realize Rommel was executed by order of Hitler. In short, their sons meeting and forming a friendship likely has far more to do with the post war legacy of who their fathers were than some global cabal.
Watch "Europa the last battle" on bitchute for the truth. As well as General Pattons diarie
@@lustrazor44 fair enough that’s your opinion. I don’t believe all conspiracies but certainly some. There are genuine psychopaths at the top and you know it.
eva's reward for all those years with adolf..unfortunately, the honeymoon didn't go as planned for her
Actually it went just the way she planned. She was well aware that she and Hitler were to die in the bunker together. She came to Berlin to die with him. By all accounts Hitler, who was a notorious poor judge of character, (at least judging by his entourage) and/or perhaps because he was so personally flawed himself, was overwhelmed that she had decided to die with him and as a reward married her.
Always a shame when your honeymoon plans go up in smoke
@@Meadras oh did it?
@@dee8501 I think it's safe to say the Hitlers spent their honeymoon in the hottest destination around. But all the excitement went straight to Adolf's head
@@Meadras it's hard to know these days what is true and what is false.
Can you please do a 2nd video on this subject? One to feature Ilse Hess, Henriette Von Schirach, Margret Speer, Elisabeth Kaltenbrunner, Lina Heydrich, and others and their children?
I can't believe so many of them were still alive until only a few years ago and I wasn't even aware. Even if some were unrepentant, which is unforgivable. It'd be fascinating to hear how they thought about all that happened.
Same!
Unrepentant mainly .
The resemblance between Himmler's mistress and his daughter creeps me out.
I thought that may just be my eyes seeing a connection! I'm glad I'm not the only one weirded out by that!!
Yeah, I get what you said about the resemblance. Disgusting
Why? His mistress is 17 years older than his daughter! She could be her mom too!
Clearly a lot of people liked blondes back then! Harhar
Mr fritzl approves of this comment
'The happy couple then visited Hitler' is a sentence I never thought I'd hear anybody say, just can't get my head around that juxtaposition
So many couples including Oswald Mosley and Diana Mitford Guinness flocked to Aryan Adolph, a regular cupid for psychopaths.
Hitler executing his brother-in-law is the one that shocked me... and should have been a warning to Ava... but she was prolly a sicko bimbo, herself...

@@ambrosiacanelo9014 if I'm not mistaken,they meant that it could be a double entendre - he didn't see his wife AND he didn't see much of his wife (in a carnal manner).
True saying you can choose your friends but not your family.
boy howdy
I strongly echoe this sentiment.
@Dan Cooper he was talking about the children
Amen to that. Though even choosing friends is kind of random, it depends on who you happen to meet at school, at uni, at work.. You don't really choose that either.
Another true saying, "you can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, I guess you can pick your friend's nose, if that is what your into..."🤔
I’ve only read a few, but these are some of the most thoughtful comments I’ve encountered online
Thank you so much for these informative videos! Highly appreciated the neutrality of this documentary.
You get more history in a Mark Felton video than you get in a full day of the so called History Channel on television.
Or school
Your documentaries are amazing. You go into aspects of WWII that most don't. Learning about the families is fascinating. It's not something you think about. Great work
Much more arresting than sitting in a lecture hall
I agree.amazing!

At the end of the war Reinhard Heydrich's widow and children surrendered to the British. When she asked what would happen to them, she was answered, "the British do not make war on widows and orphans", and they were set free, although I don't know what subsequently became of them.
Pieter-Gerhardt Roos what happens in the far reaches of the empire stays in the far reaches of the empire Seriously tho projecting those values all the way to South Africa when you have to sail there is no easy task
Pieter-Gerhardt Roos that’s lovely and hindsight’s a wonderful wonderful thing there’s always bad apples That’s also a very 21st century opinion up until 1946 the horrors committed world wide are horrendous on every front Wtf can we do about it You don’t laugh you’ll cry
