The Day The Soviets Nearly Captured Hitler
In February 1943, Hitler flew to the HQ of Army Group South on the Eastern Front for critical meetings. Little did he realise that Soviet tanks had broken through and were racing for the airfield where he was about to board his plane to leave.

Imagine Hitler in an arm chair with a giant parachute floating through the sky.

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.

"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 KZhead
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
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.
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.
If you look at the clip used when Hitler is visiting Finland, you can see his aircraft's brakes are on fire quite badly
Mark Felton has actually made a video about this incident: kzhead.info/sun/h9WtlKmkjaqEioE/bejne.html

Which was against Hitler's strict orders regarding smoking!!!
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.

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.

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
1:46 no one seems particularly concerned there are flames coming out of the landing gear.

This is how to teach history. The topic is interesting and effectively presented.
This was the History Channel style mid to late 90s to very early 00s. Dr. Felton embodies every good aspect of it.
The brakes on Hitler's Condor plane were on fire after landing, when he arrived in Finland. Also shown in this video how the tires are on flames.

The thing is Hitler was even useful for Soviets as the talentless warlord, especially after the Stalingrad catastrophe.
