Never stop giving us this wonderful content!

Thank You Again Mark ! Astonishing work you do !

Mark, we love you, please never stop making these type of videos

I learn so many new things! Thank you for the informative and interesting information!

its the little things like this, a female general in 1940s Germany, that make history so fascinating. Thank you, Dr. Felton, for shedding light on this!

Brilliantly done Mark easy to listen and always interesting 👍🇬🇧👏

Always very impressive to see that you can find many documentaries subjects of WWII and very well explained!

I really never think this was a thing, thanks for the great content Dr Felton!

Every mark felton upload makes my week! Keep up the great content mark!

Just really great vids on fascinating topics 👍

Thank you, Dr. Felton for doing the research required to preserve history for all the world.

First Jewish Nazi soldiers and now a female SS General, one has to wonder the strange exceptions that happened during the Third Reich and how many have yet to still be documented or even lost to time

That's why you research and not believe what you see in Hollywood and our "history books".

@@swampdonkey1517 As example the diplomatic notes from the German "whitebooks" a few weeks before WW 2 broke out.......;)

My mother’s mother was in Austria and was raped by her employer at the house where she was a servant. Got pregnant and was fired for it, gave birth to my mother and ended up killing herself. She was catholic so all the religious ramifications for her and the next ten generations. The scandalous behavior may not have been of this ladies doing and may have contributed to her outlook on life.

@@TheEDFLegacy I wasn’t going to answer you, should never have done the first post but maybe it can help someone with context. The stigma was transferred to my mother and she was handed around the family and not treated nice. She went through Weimar, survived through the war, married my father who left for Canada while she lived in an army barracks for two years while my father made enough money for passage. In Canada she literally worked in a sweatshop at a sewing machine, she use to use her lunch break to sew us underwear from scraps. When things were finally getting better she died at 37. Today’s generation gets butt hurt when you use the wrong pronoun, be interesting to see what happens when the food runs out.

@@D-B-Cooper The beginning of the 20th century was a tumultuous time for Europe and beyond. My great grandfather in Ukraine saw the writing on the wall so to speak and sent my grandfather to Canada to live with friends. The next year, he sent his second eldest son to reunite with his brother. The two brothers managed and married. Can you imagine going to a country where one not only didn't know the language but didn't even know the alphabet??? All communication with the East was nonexistent through the Depression and WWII. It wasn't until the late 50's or early 60's that the Red Cross was able to connect us with the remaining family left behind. We learned that my great grandfather had been sent to Siberia and all his land confiscated. The youngest brother and his wife were executed due to partisan participation. This is revolution; this is war. At least you knew your mother. You have your memories. Be thankful for that. You are not alone. I have recounted my history and I know that there are others with similar stories. What worries me is that young western people have no clue as to how bad life may become. Hopefully, they will never learn. Take care, John.

And just when I think I've heard all the stories, Dr Felton gives us this... Fascinating stuff. Your channel never disappoints!

You never cease to amaze with these long lost stories you dig up.

Perked up when I heard Bad Aibling. In June 1971, my family was on vacation at Chimsea. Chimsea is a large lake in Bavaria About half way between Munich and Bertchesgarden. My father was AF and we were stationed at Rhein Main. My oldest sister had a thumb slammed on a door and was in great pain. I went for the ride to a military dispensary which ended up being at a US Army facility in Bad Aibling. What I remember was how woodsy, green and lush base was. It was like it was hidden in a medieval forest. Not too exciting but it made an impression.

You've done it, Dr. Felton. A story I've never heard a word about or seen in any of the material I've reviewed over most of my life. Bravo sir, a scholar indeed.

Excellent story. Wonderful photos. More than several new to me, which was a shock.

UNBELIEVABLE!!! Great video.
