Find the Führer: The Secret Soviet Investigation (Episode 1)
The fate of Hitler is one of the most infamous subjects in history - but the investigation of the nation that was best placed to find out, the USSR, is often ignored or dismissed in the West. This series examines what the Soviets found, both at the bunker and Reich Chancellery, and also the medical examination of the purported bodies of Hitler and Eva Braun. Kept secret until 1968, the Soviet files reveal many strange anomalies that challenge the established story of the ultimate fates of Hitler and his wife.
In this episode, the storming of the Reich Chancellery and the search for Hitler's corpse.

It's a good day when Mark Felton uploads
Totally agree!
Indeed it is.
Yes it is!
It's more like Christmas when the eminent doctor uploads!
Amen.
The toothbrush mustache was a popular thing among ww1 soldiers. It was the only facial hair that didn't prevent the seal of a gas mask and was a symbol that the person wearing it was a trench war veteran. In case anyone was what it meant i thought I would share.
Yes ... due to his Rotzbremse.... Hitler looked somehow British...😊
They seem to be less fashionable these days.
@@requiscatinpace7392 haha
@@requiscatinpace7392I wonder why lol
The earliest pictures I’ve seen of Hitler with his iconic toothbrush mustache date from about 1919 or 1920, around the time he joined the Nazi party. His World War I era photos all show him with a much fuller mustache.
My dad was born during WW2. He loves history and when I turned him on to your channel he would get so excited about your latest episode. He would always comment saying "This guy is the real deal" He would go on saying how important it is to learn from this time in history to not repeat it. RIP Dad.
Sorry for your loss. My pop is the same approx. Age and also loves this stuff.
My dad was born in 1939. He is gone now but not before passing on his love of WWII history on to my brother and me. He left me a Nazi flag and Luger he bought off a US War veteran. I am keeping it for my grandkids.
He's with Hitler now.
Just like my dad. He was a WW2 vet in China. He told us a lot of facts about the war that were not know to the wider public.
Sorry about your loss
The last days in Berlin are trully haunting and fascinating on so many levels. How strange that the vast majority of historians concentrate on the events on the battlefield but completely write off this chapter in a few paragraphs. Thanks for your continuous work!
Hitler escaped to Argentina, watch the documentary film Greywolf.
hollywood did not like the USSSR. frankly neither did england. america was torn about the USSR. respect for the people but stalin was amass murderer on level with the Nazi. so the fall of berlin wasn't going to get press. Germany itself (minus hitler) might have surrenderd earlier if they were not afraid the russians.
I imagine little German side documentation unlike earlier battles no German record systems still operating no one bothering to make any reports as they captured or dead. Leaves only the SOVIET side. And was a forgone conclusion no drama to it. What gets covered is the interesting battles for the most part.
@@milferdjones2573This doesnt even concern battles or the military per se. As for Soviets, hundreds of witnesses survived that were present in the "Zitadelle" and either ended up in the western sector (thats what they all struggled for afterall) or were released from Soviet camps in the 50s, many of them wrote memoirs. In fact, the usual problem is on the contrary - the only memoirs commercially available were those by German officers living comfortably in the west, who put all tactical blame on Hitler, Goehring and other scapegoats who were already dead, and boasted of the unbeatable Wehrmacht, absurd kill ratios and so on, while the Soviet side of the story was often not present and not trusted.
@@f4ust85 ....and Berlin was captured by the Soviets and the evil madman Hitler killed himself and his guards burned his body outside his bunker and they all lived happily ever after, the End. Nighty night sleep well.
Videos like yours are getting harder to find but I’m glad some one is trying so hard to preserve real history.
If you despise communism like I do watch Lloyd DeJongh. Another awesome teacher.
Lindybeige is good
What I appreciate is Dr. Felton‘s care and skill in picking the pictures he uses for these videos. You see so much bullshit today that is talking about some historic event of World War II, or historic vehicle, or place, and not once in the entire length of the video, does the fool who is making it, actually get the background pictures right. Dr. Felton‘s care and concern, to present us with real history is a rarity and a delight
@@CrashLoveless Well said!
Super kudos to Mark Felton but there are many competent history channels on KZhead and the academic world produces a huge amount of solid research. There are many excellent museums worldwide. But yes, Mark's videos are distinctive because they look into new corners of history and even when he covers familiar topics he brings fresh new data and perspectives.
Only Dr. Felton can provide this level of detail in a 22 min. episode.
Hitler escaped to Argentina, watch the documentary film Greywolf.
Not a doctor. Does not practice medicine.
I understand that The title can be used for people who are historians
@@eliotreader8220anyone completing a PhD is a doctor, the degree literally means doctor of philosophy (docere means a scholar or to reach). With medicine it came to be used a courtesy but it's the other way round now.
That body at the chancelory must have been ol uncle adolf , it had the same coat he was wearing when he was last seen on film. Before hiding in his bunker.
There is not a human alive that was more born than to teach the world history. I mean his intellect, voice and persona, are all built for this, and you can just tell this comes to him second nature. This is one of THE BEST channels on this entire platform. Has long has your into substance, and not people jumping into jello. Mark your awesome.
Waited until all the videos of the Investigation were posted before starting. Watching them all back to back! Mr. Felton never disappoints with his level of dedication to portraying the past as it happened and not what we are all taught by those with an agenda.
How could the history Channel not realize that people love this.... I don't understand how they have fallen so far. Really all of tv has. Thank you Mark Felton I can't get enough of your channel. Both of them are amazing
Oh, come on! Everybody knows nothing can match a freak discussing about Martians.
Say no to censorship.
Why don't they do these instead of aliens?
Because people who care about history as an attempt to honestly examine the past don't watch TV anymore. The only people watching network TV in significant numbers are boomers, who would be violently repulsed by the idea of a story told from the Soviet perspective.
History Channel ended being a show for Bidders.😅
Mark learning how to leave us on cliffhangers is great! Your presentation skills are reaching new levels of awesome.
Same Bat time. Same Bat channel. I'll stay tuned,,,,
a real Scheherazade, that one! lol
Wait, is this like a spoiler? You mean they don't find him? Stop don't tell me
Mark was the presenter the BBC never had. I could listen to him 24 hours. He has a superb broadcaster's voice. If I could speak as well as I can write, I'd be making these videos. But, alas, I sound like a cockney wanker.
@@Jack_Warner 😆
Thank you, Mark. This particular part of history has fascinated me since I was a boy doing Sixth Year history, my history master introduced me to Trevor-Roper's Last Days of Hitler account. As you commented, so many facts are still unknown or disputed around the demise of the top Nazis, which is no doubt why so many of us are still fascinated by it today
My mother was a displaced person in Austria immediately after the war. She absolutely swore until the day she died that she saw Hitler in the back of a Mercedes one day.
Bro come on
Wouldn’t be surprised.
Quite honestly I believe she is not a liar. Still you must consider other possibilities. Hitler was an Austrian from the Kärnten region. Maybe she saw a relative a die hard fan who tried is best to resemble him. It's quite amazing how similar some persons can be. Also, the Kärnten region is said to this day still has a strong presence of Nazi ideology.
consider all the incest running rampant in the extended family
@@brianfoster5748 what? Nazis weren't incestuous! They had disgust of handicapped and mentally impaired. They wanted to eradicate those of society.
Another treat from the historical master that is Dr. Mark Felton. Thank you for your continuing dedication and hard work in bringing history to life and preserving facts over fiction.
Do centralized borders go Woo-woo since the denuclearization of the Eastern bloc states since the Federation of Rus alliances??
We'll readily add his remains to the crematorium.
Hitler escaped to Argentina, watch the documentary film Greywolf.
I imagine the conversation about the socks went like this: Klemenko: 'Would Hitler have worn darned socks?' Voss: 'Darned if I know.' I'll see myself out...
Mr Felton, your channel is top tier greatness. Found your channel a little less than a year ago, and I've been hooked ever since!
Absolutely brilliant!!!!! Excellent job putting this together Mark. Thank you for all of the hard work!!!!
I’ve just graduated from high school, my favourite subject used to be/is history and these videos give me the same feelings as those lessons with my favourite teacher. Thank you sooo much, Mark Felton!
It’s guys like you who will be our next generation of truth and what our grandfather and fathers did in defending our country. Thanks from an older generation guy who felt like you when I was 18🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👏
I hope you always enjoy studying history.
Yes, true history, not revisionist history.@@doncarpenter1040
He definitely revived my interest in history
I just know you are going to do well in life.
Years ago I did a job for a former member of Hitler's bodyguard who was at the bunker during this time. He claimed he saw Hitler and Braun being escorted out 3 days before the Soviets arrived by 2 men in suits and a female pilot. This was the last plane to leave Berlin according to him. He did show me some pics of his detachment standing with Hitler before the bombing. I'm convinced he wasn't joking around when he told me what he witnessed
The last plane to leave Berlin was flown by Hanna Reitsch. She later wrote a book called The Sky is my Kingdom.
Looking forward to the rest of this series. The series in Bormann was really good and informative and well worth a reviewing alongside this series
One of Mark Felton's most long and detailed 2 part post. Kudos. The Royal History Society should equally be honored.
I still prefer Europa the last battle to this.
Great episode! Looking forward to the next installment! I read Lev Bezymensky's "The Death Of Adolf Hitler" over 50 years ago when I was a senior in high school, a well-written and engrossing read. It was dismissed by most American WW2 historians at the time but in my then 17 year old opinion everything Bezymensky said in the book made perfect sense. I remember his into to the book very well, he said he had to get permission from the Soviet archives to view the pertinent SMERSH documents, no surprise, but didn't meet any resistance. It just took time for the request to work its way through the bureaucracy. And I've always remembered what he said: "Working with the Soviet bureaucracy is like turning millstones, but let's turn those millstones together and see what we find!"
Brilliant.
Hitler escaped to Argentina, watch the documentary film Greywolf.
Another interesting "Soviet" read is "Icebreaker," by Victor Suvorov
The thought of going into a long winded extensive effort to try to prove that Hitler escaped to Argentina is wearing . Suffice it to say that there is way too much evidence and documentable facts to debunk the fuherer bunker suicide and Russian investigation "evidence " , as well as the Trevor - Roper white wash , as well as a mountain of evidence , including FBI investigations and documents , Hitler sightings and contacts by servants and supporters , and South American Police officials too numerous to ignore . The book Grey Wolf by Dunstan & Williams , and Quest by Melchor & Brandenburg make for a forensically more compelling case than the bunker suicide fraud . I personally have changed my view to the escape scenario from the suicide view based on the compelling evidence . The world has believed the other view and it has been accepted as fact for the last 75 years so that many cannot entertain any other explanation . It is up to you to examine tha evidence and then make your decision as to which is true and which is false .
SMERSH is a name you know from the James Bond novels. But such an organization really did exist.
yeah, Goldfinger failed them a great deal
STASI is also mentioned in some Ian Fleming novels. Back when I was a teenager I thought it was fictional until the 90-91 when Berlin wall collapsed and western had access to STASI archives. Then I confirmed that they were real.
@@enterBJ40 The people of East Germany certainly knew better. ☺
An investigation performed after Germany reunification, showed that 1/3 of East Germany worked as a whistle-blower for STASI. DEUTSCHE WELLE made a short report about STASI back then when Germans were free enough to raid the STASI central office and found archives and dossier from everyone. According to DEUTSCHE WELLE , days before reunification, some officials tried to destroy the dossiers with paper ripping machines but the task was so huge that the machines got broke.
Yes, thank you..
The quality, the presentation, the content… always amazing. Big fan of your work… thank you.
Nice cliffhanger- well done! The whole thing was awesome- can't wait for the next episode(s)!
Episode 1 was fantastic, can't wait for #2. I had known of CMEPW, but had no idea they were that feared and so powerful that even Marshal Zhukov was denied access by them.
So much new information
СМЕРШ
@@MrSlavaoat Yeah, I know. I don't have the ability to type in cyrilic
Zhukov had every reason to be afraid. Zhukov was a survivor of the pre-war purge of the Red Army high command. After the war Beria made repeated moves against him, and Stalin seems to have regarded him as a threat to his position because of his success.
@@warden330 you are right, but in hindsight, if there was a man in the Soviet Union able to challenge Stalin power it was Zhukov.
Never would have thought Professor Felton would leave us on a cliffhanger 😮 These are photos I've never seen before 👍
Still never seen some of them as they are covered 😂 to protect against KZhead violations 😢
Mark Felton would be such a badass presenter at something like tank fest or anywhere he could narrate/present. Your content is so crisp man, love the presentation and how you ignore all the fluff a lot of historians must have.
No matter how much I have learned about WWII, for the decades, I will never totally fathom the level of death and destruction of that war.
If anything, WWII is a sobering warning of how blind hatred, willful ignorance, and fanaticism can degenerate the precious spiritual values of any culture, no matter how high or low, and transform a once civilized, cultured people (remember, along with Himmler and Hitler, German culture also produced the likes of Beethoven, Goethe, and Schiller) into little more than bloodlust brutes who mindlessly sway to the rallying cries of a strong, dominant authoritarian leader.
Well, the Germans asked for it. You play stupid games win, stupid prizes.
@@Americanpatriot-zo2tk It's way more complicated than this. Look at the amount of propaganda and gaslighting we've been subjected to over the past 3 years despite the availability of information through the internet. You think it was any different in the 1930s and 40s? Btw, do you think the Russians are currently involved in an "unprovoked" war?
@@Americanpatriot-zo2tkActually the British asked for it.
@@helmortkuper2626 ooc ty
As for the theory of Hitler escaping, I sometimes wonder if some secrets are too big to keep. Also, given his health issues, not sure how long he'd have lasted on the run.
Look how long biden is 'lasting' > that's not much of an argument.
Not even close to the same thing, that Quack Doctor was giving Hitler so many drug concoctions its a wonder he lived as long as he did. it's my understanding that the doctor like to use mercury in his so-called medicines.@@Imtahotep
@@ImtahotepWell, Biden has it easy. Takes lots of naps and vacations.
Good questions. Big secrets lead to big lies, or thousands of little ones. As for AHs health, he had gone cold turkey to get off the stuff Dr Morrell had been giving him, so it is difficult to gauge how ill he was.
@rdhunkins and he takes enormous bribes too.
A masterclass, as always. I deeply admire your work and hope to some day be half as good of a historian as you, Dr. Felton.
It's not everyday the NKVD administers the body of another Party member.

Really appreciate this channel and your book. Keep doing your thing, Owen! It reminds me we’re in the right path.
Another fantastic episode Dr. Felton! So much detail - and insight into Stalin and his security apparatus. Thank you!
Thank you, Dr. Felton. Looking forward to Episode 2
Me searching for episode 2 only to realise episode 1 was only just released
@@zyme4569 😁
@@zyme4569 Me too!
Always factual, never sensationalised. I deeply appreciate your work and researches. Though having seen the film "Iron Sky", I can confidently proclaim Hitler escaped to a moon base.
LoL! 😂
Love these type of videos! There is something about Soviet bureaucracy that always makes any topic twice as interesting.
Thanks for the longer video Mark, it’s been a while. You’re number 1!
Eva Braun may have escaped? You're leaving us with a cliff hanger. Personally I don't believe she would have left her beloved "Grey Wolf"!
She went to the end with him no doubt about it.
You're so naive.
As usual, Professor Felton leaves the "History Channel" in the dust.
Hey Mark, I love your uploads. Thank you for making them a joy to watch as opposed to some uploaders who jump in all the time and ruin their posts. Top man!!
This is the art of a master at his craft. Well done! With anyone but Mr Felton it would seem like clickbait. Now we just can't wait for part 2. It was also a crazy glimpse into Stalin's oppressive world that Marshal Zhukov could be dismissed like that by SMESH.
Thanks for all the great Uploads Dr. Felton!
I can't hear or read the word Smersh, without thinking of Sean Connery and Rosa Kreb. Interesting that someone had the same surname in the bunker. I wonder if this was Fleming having fun with his characters.
As always, great content Mark. Much appreciated.
I go away for a couple of weeks and there's all this! Brilliant again Mark, thank you for these fascinating series and all your work
Thank you, Mark. You’re providing a true service to the public through your videos.
Hitler escaped to Argentina, watch the documentary film Greywolf.
finally a 20 min video...thanks...please please need more of this duration
An excellent, entertaining, and well-done video as always. Thank you.
I appreciate your videos very much Mark. WW2 is my favorite part of History to learn about and you bring light to the stories i havent ever heard of. While you can find endless videos on D-Day, Stalingrad and Peril Harbor (your Chanel) is the only one telling the history that i dont already know. Thank you for that Mark Felton.
I would guess that the blocked photos are done so that KZhead doesn't make you take them down and/or demonetize them. Sad. In the interests of decent historical research, i wouldn't mind seeing the entire photos, BUT there are too many people who are easily offended and would raise hell should they be shown as taken. Alas AND Alack. In Any Case, Dr Felton, a Great short doc. Thanks! I am looking forward to the next part of this series!
Pretty sure the photos are easy to find online. I've seen them in documentaries before.
@@simonh6371 Thanks. I will do so!
What Goebbels did to his family is unforgivable.
As opposed to his wife and children being raped and tortured by Soviet animals? Nah I think he gave them a decent exit.
Magda's mother tried for years to find out what happened to the bodies of her grandchildren.
To be devil's advocate from his POV its either end their lives in relative 'comfort' in a way he could control. Or leave them as children of known Nazi VIPs to an uncertain fate with the Soviets. Maybe the Soviets would turn out to be nice people but its a huge question mark. If the US was falling and you're President with the Nazis at your door would you leave your children to them if you thought they might be raped and tortured? Its not an easy choice as it first appears.
What Goebbels helped to do to millions of other families is also unforgivable.
@@yojoeskiWhat Israel has done to millions of families is also unforgivable.
Total spannend, dieser Beitrag, werter Mark! Freue mich schon auf die Fortsetzung. Kind regards from Bremen
Thank you Mark stellar as always! The Outcome of WW2 saddens me tremendously.
Mr Felton uploads right as I get home and relax And its a multi part series with long videos And its on a more interesting (to me) topic Today is a good day
A cliffhanger! :) Looking forward to the next episode!
My grandma served in Hitler's villa in Argentina. She said Hitler was very kind to them,o and Eva was such a lovely woman. She said Argentina's military was guarding the ranch.
Yea right
Mine was there too
My grandmother said the same thing, she lived in the neighborhood and Hitler would come by for grocery shopping couple of times a year. She also said that there were occasionally body builder looking "Israeli tourists" once in a while.
I was doing some additional research after listening to this intriguing series. And I was just shocked at finding a random article about soviet military interpreter Elena Kagan-who made the claim in this article that J Goebbels’ body was put on public display in front of the Reich Chancellery. I know you mentioned all the diff theories that came out on the deaths of Hitler, many of them with very little actual research to back it up. This article shocked me. Such an extraordinary claim for which I can find no evidence whatsoever. I went back and listened to the first video of your series and found you said nothing about such a claim about Goebbels’ body being put on display. My goodness. My money is on Mark Felton’s research. What in heavens name would be the motive for saying something that so easily can be debunked?
"Poorly researched television documentaries" Shots fired at @historychannel
Wow… this is definitely the best detailed historical last days of Germany’s defeat. I never heard of Smersh but did know Stalin was banging his fist wanting to know where Herr Hitler was… probably died never being satisfied. Wonderful work by Dr Mark Felton .Always look forward towards your next history lesson. Thank you , Sir !!!👏👍
The Führer had the last laugh in this one.
SMERSH ( Smersh Spionam, I think ) figures heavily in the first few James Bond novels/films. It's the villainous organization in the best Bond film, From Russia With Love.
Excellent video, Dr. Felton. Thank you, sir.
Fantastic work. So detailed. Thank you.
This documentary is a most welcome addition to your exhaustive research on World War 2 Thank you can’t wait for the next instalment
As always, your research fascinates me. Thank you for continuing to educate us and champion the cause of history, Dr. Felton.
As always, an extremely well put together video that makes all of the facts you think you know so much clearer and adds details that you didn't know. Quality throughout and an example of how history should be presented.
I want to say thank you Mark. You videos are extremely well done. Sound and quality. Gets me through the day
Typical of the excellence we have come to expect from Dr Felton.
Love it and love the longer format videos. Appreciate what you do Mark!
Wonderful upload, Mark, and what a cliffhanger indeed...
Another clear , concise, well delivered, beautifully paced historical documentary. No frills , gimmicks or obtrusive background music but just the facts . Mark Felton Productions has set a very quality bar for the other video makers to attain.
Interesting that you're trying episodic type of content! I'll give the entire series a watch and will provide feedback. So far I'm excited to see how many more topics you can cover in a long form video format!
Check for the whole Himmler and Bormann series which are both available, you won't be disappointed.
Any history and updated information on the Fuehrer is greatly appreciated. I can't wait for Episode II.
I believe one Soviet official once said that Hitler's body had been totally destroyed after being taken to Russia, my simple hypothesis is that it may been taken to ground zero at one of the many atomic tests just prior to Stalin's death.
Excellent…..thank you Mr F….looking forward to episode two
A.H. died in Argentina in 1965, AND I cherish Dr. Mark Felton.
in colombia in 1978 actually
In Berlin 1945. Göbbels would have never killed himself and his wife and kids without AH having committed suicide first.
Actually, he died in my foyer in ‘81. Very slippery and he banged his head.
As usual, another splendid piece! Thanks, Dr. Felton!
Major Hugh Trevor Roper investigated Hitler's death soon after war ended - largely due to the Soviets misinformation on the matter- and his report, later a book ( The Last Days of Hitler ) which was revised several times with added details as they became available, was essentially correct right from the start. he interviewed witnesses held in the British and American zones, the Soviets did not cooperate.. having been an Oxford don, Trevor Roper was a skilled historian and knew how to establish facts using the evidence available. he was skilled at dismissing some of the absurd claims from a few witnesses - like those claiming Hitler had flown out of Germany in the last days .
I can’t believe you censored the pics. This is a history channel, right?
Idk what I would do without Dr felton's videos, Keep up the great work
Not a doctor. Does not practice medicine.
Just by seeing length of video, the title, and it being created by Mark - you know you're in for a solid treat
I stand by the fact that Mark Fulton does some of the best historic documentaries around. I have watched since my senior year of high school (4 years ago) and have enjoyed these videos throughout University as well. Thanks for all of these, Mark!
Best channel on KZhead by miles. Thank you Dr Felton
Except dr. Felton completely missed the main point. There was no double suicide in Bunker Berlin. It was a theater, a fraud, the Bluff of all time. Two actors stepped in and played Hitler & Eva Braun. Even for a ´Wedding Ceremony´- all fake. Adolf Hitler died in 1971, say the South-Am inveatigators. Eva lived to 100 yrs, not bad. The Hitlers had 3 children together. We have their names. They´re still alive.
Oh the suspense!! Thank you for another great presentation and your dedication to preserving history
I had not seen many of those photos. Given the technology of the time, there probably was no way to be 100% sure whose body was whom. Looking forward to the next episode. Great content, Dr. Felton. All of us interested in history really appreciate your efforts.
they did have very detailed dental records, but otherwise they only had photographs to work with. But even today with DNA checks, you need a reliably source to compare it to, otherwise it's just as useless as trying to identify people with a photograph.
Why would they burn the bodies?
Poorly reserched television documentaries, sick burn Mark. Great content as always.
It's a great day when Dr felton post a video The study of history isn't as simple as it seems
I haven’t tuned in for a while Mark! But this one caught my eye, anyway - Glad to see you’re not running short on ideas, and still bringing light to these lesser known events! Bravo!
Hi Mark! Since you have made a few videos about Switzerland during ww2 I wondered if you were aware of the Documents of La Charité-sur-Loire? It is not very well documented but it is about a secret accord that was found by the germans made by the swiss and the french before the war that say that in the case of invasion of Switzerland by the germans, the french military would have enter Switzerland and fought alongside swiss troops. That could be a not very well known subject to talk about because it would have probably changed the war. Ho and great video as always.
Don't think anyone would put trust into the French to protect them and the swiss had very good plans in place already to blow up all the ways in and out and bunkers to protect them and had very good defenses from the mountains it would of been nearly imposable to take them easily.
@@giggity4670 It would have been harder than the Netherlands and Belgium but conquering Switzerland was possible and would have gave a good strategic position both for Italy and Germany. The fact is those documents allegedly existed so it was probably not so impossible in the eyes of the french and swiss.
@@giggity4670 France is a local superpower, bordering the swiss. If not they, then who? Their forces were more then enough to crush germany AND defend swiss.
Very detailed documentary and things what I have never heard👍👍 Waiting for part 2!
Are we going to Argentina in the next video to investigate Hitler escape?
Dr Felton is better than the history channel, in both content and significance - thanks for sharing!
Oh yes. I’m on the edge of my chair. Dr. Felton you don’t disappoint.
Fabulous job as always Mark. I need part two now 😂😂
Wonderful , great story. Looking forward to the next instalment
As always, factual, amazingly detailed, yet to the point. Can’t wait for part 2!
You do realise Mark that you are nearing 2m subscribers? Well done!
Wow! Great video Dr.!!! Thank you!
Despite having read and watched so much about the demise of Hitler, this first episode of the series kept me sitting on my chair as if I was at the movie theatre. Thanks doc Felton!
Yet another awesome and very well documented video. Keep up the great work, Mark!
I do remember Smerch to be a plot point with a Roger Moore James Bond movie. The real history behind it is quite interesting.
A.azingly through as always Mark! I look forward to the next episode!
Fantastic as always. Thank you Mark.
