Churchill Visits Hitler's Bunker

Two months after Hitler's death, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill paid a special visit to his Berlin bunker and the ruined Reich Chancellery, the only Allied political leader to do so. The experience made a lasting impression on Churchill. Find out the full story here...

    Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin are taking a coffee break in Yalta... Churchill takes out a small black notebook and starts writing something down. "Taking notes?", Roosevelt asks. "No," Churchill says, "I heard a new political joke about myself this morning. I collect all jokes about myself. I already have over 100 in this notebook." "How funny," Stalin says. "I collect all jokes about myself too." "Oh, really?" Churchill says. "So how many have you got?" "Three prison camps so far."

    If you think Stalin was bad, then it's weird to think Churchill was a better person. You watch these videos because you notice you learn something new, maybe changing your view a bit. Yet people are completely convinced Stalin was worse with what they have been told. Of course the West would say that about an enemy. Much to learn about Churchill and his political stances on the world. Nazi's wouldn't mind him in their party. Just look at the West now and their support of Israel. Their politics are still inhumane.

    A late friend & senior associate of mine visited the bunker in July 1945. In the kitchen of the upper level bunker, he scooped up a handful of blackened silverware, knives, forks & teaspoons. Only later, at his billet did he discover the German eagle & letters "A.H" on the handles. He had them framed & on display in his Toronto office until his passing some two decades ago. He gifted me one of the many Iron Cross's he picked up from the floor of the Reich chancellery. Cost of admission to the bunker, a pack of smokes.

Not wanting the Japanese to ruin his breakfast he ventured alone back behind enemy lines, picked up the pan of sizzling bacon, and under a hail of gunfire made it back to the American lines. He was awarded two purple hearts by the island was conquered in other incidents but the day he saved the bacon was his proudest moment in the war.

    I have studied WWII and taught WWI at high school and university level all my young, and now, old (79) life. When I was 8 to 10 years old I lived in Salzburg, Austria (in the Schloss Klessheim-where Hitler met dignitaries, and the palace grounds was a great playground. We visiting Berchtesgaden (berghof and Eagles Nest ruins). I have a bomb-proof piece of Hitlers picture window and an army belt buckle I found running around. And my passion for history began when my father was a Lt in the 504 Regiment of the 82nd Airborne. My mother was a U.S. Army nurse who met my father who went to an Army hospital in Naples. They married and I was born 2 days after Nagasaki in Fort Bending, Georgia. Thank you Dr. Felton, never miss your documentaries.

    Well that's not right. The war ended in Europe/Britain on the 8 May 1945, but officially the 2 September 1945 (between Japan and the States) and voted out of office on the 5 July 1945 General Election, but vote counting was extended to 26 July. Let's be honest at home he wasn't very popular, contrary to historical narratives, he was a retrogressive aristocrat, who didn't have a clue on how the ordinary working man/soldier concerns. The country was weary, but ready for radical social change and they certainly got that with Clement Attlee, the best Labour prime minister ever.

    Churchill may have shown a measured and collected approach to his Berlin visit, but he also is known for having a brilliant sense of humour and his legendary razor sharp wit. In the 1950s one morning, Churchill's woken to be told: "I'm afraid there's been a bit of a scandal, Prime Minister, one of our back-bench MP's was found with a guardsman in St. James' Park in the bushes last night by the police and the papers have got a hold of it". Churchill replied (in his usual deep, gruff voice),.. "Last night?!" "Yes" "Very cold last night, wasn't it?" "Yes Sir, I believe it was one of the coldest February night's in 30 years!" "Makes you proud to be British!"

    But he was only the figurehead and spokesman of a government that was made up of the best members of all parties who agreed to put political differences aside to fight the war. The sort of image of Churchill standing alone with the British people arrayed behind him in defiance was very much promulgated after the war as the Churchill publicity machine cranked into action, much like Robert Falcon Scott's did a generation earlier, and Churchill was a brilliant self-publicist in his history of the war. That's not to downplay his contributions but there was an entire government, civil service and military organisation behind him and he would have been well briefed by staff before conferences.

    Mark Felton always brings fresh additional detail to these "well documented" stories. And, like other people have mentioned, the lack of background music or distractions is really a blessing - the message just sinks in with more clarity and neutrality. I wish we would run our television news broadcasts like this.

    having read somewhere, years ago that when he sat in Hitlers' chair Churchill said "I have tracked the nazi beast to his lair"; I was waiting eagerly for Mark to repeat that proclamation. Such is my regard for his historical accuracy that because he didn't include it I must now regard that quote as apocryphal.

Your channel is second to none, and I always look forward to your videos!!!

I showed him one of your videos, and his mind clicked back on, and he was enthralled with your attention to detail and how you are a true custodian of history. Thank you, sir, for giving me one more opportunity to share the love of history with my father.

    @Gmac86 Have you ever met a conspiracy theory you didn't like? "What precautions did Churchill take to stay out of harm’s way during dangerous situations? He didn’t take many. There are a lot of cases when an air raid was about to occur and Churchill would go to the roof and watch. This was how he was. He was not going to cower in a shelter during a raid. He wanted to see it. By day, he carried on as if there were no nightly air raids. This was part of his style, part of how he encouraged and emboldened the nation. If Churchill’s doing this, if he’s courageous enough, maybe we really don’t have so much to fear."

Churchill gave the site all due consideration before abruptly turning away and walking off, which was not much. Perfect!

    It's a funny thing but at 71 now and not being religious at all, in fact almost an atheist lol. Having served ten years in the RAF (1970/80) Ground Crew, Churchill was always my personal hero. From War Comics to Historical Documentaries. I revered this man and still do. I know we needed America as they are so fond of reminding us frequently. I did in fact marry one lol. This was our Nation's Darkest Hour for sure however. I have always felt as though, despite my non religious view, he was exactly the right Character at exactly the right point in History to face an almost unearthly evil. There is a power we do not, as yet understand. I am grateful to you Dr Felton for showing us all yet more glimpses of something we are at this very moment in time, in danger of forgetting. For making the past come to life, even if only briefly. Thank you for the very best researched and unbiased material on the net.
