12:37. Being a serviceman responsible for driving ladies around has its perks. In my uncle’s case, it saved his life. He was in the USMC and served as his colonel’s driver - which really meant he became Mrs. Colonel’s chauffeur / gopher. He had a great sense of humor and she really took a motherly shine to him. When his unit was shipped off to Vietnam, she insisted my uncle stay at his post in the States “or else”. So the rest of the unit got shipped off , but he stayed. Many of his comrades did not come back. He considered himself “the luckiest Marine in the USMC”!

A significant interview, he was present at the various meetings at the Berghof, had first-hand acquaintance with these govt officials, Goering, Hess, Bormann, and so on. And Hitler, of course. Interesting to hear him speak so highly of those he felt had incorruptible integrity, Hess being one. His interview gives a contemporaneous feeling for those gatherings and fills in some of the history, such as Hess being repudiated as a madman for flying to Scotland, so Japan and Italy would not feel Germany had acted unilaterally. I suppose he was interviewed at the channel host's home, as the channel logo plaque was hanging on the wall behind him.

I don't comprehend why people is criticizing this man for telling his own personal experience as detailed as possible. This is still piece of history, if he did something wrong, he is most likely aware since he even implied that he rather won't go into detail in certain parts for the interview as is most likely that those are things that he already discussed with the people that was during his denazification process. He may view these experiences as positive or very juvenile events in his early life but the way he narrates is just exactly how Russian elders remember the USSR, they do always seem to agree that those times were better for their people, their family or their country, even tho, we all know that the USSR was a really dark time too.

@Jason Sivongsa I guess I started maturing when I was 21. Before that, I was wilfully blind, meaning I was quite happy to do nothing but I was also naive, not realising I have to pursue an ambition or something meaningful. So I decided to live off-grid. I'm not quite there yet but I've grown up my whole life in rural England and I've found my home in nature. It's hard to find a girl who wants to live off-grid here and I'm a recluse. I don't get lonely so it's a vicious cycle when I don't benefit from social stuff because I don't want to be alone too much yet I don't get lonely lol. It's hard for everyone our age these days. A lot of people are living with their parents, not knowing what to do with their life, pursuing meaningless crap. I realise the system we're under isn't good for us and we are so far from our natural habitat now. So I decided to become self-sufficient, live sustainably (hunting, permaculture, etc.) And not compare my life to anyone's and focus getting off the grid into nature. That's how we're meant to live because that's how we evolved to be. KZread is a great place of learning by the way. I hope what I told you helps you in some way.

Absolutely fascinating. I love these documentaries. Thank you.

Everyone from both sides at that time were jolly people. Much happier than we are today. He reminds me of an American Navy veteran I knew.

Exactly. Almost half the replies here are from psychos, racists, trolls, etc. They find no real value in anything he says beyond backing up their idiotic beliefs. The other half are those that feel the opposite, a notion that all German soldiers at the time were shoving babies in ovens and such. Not even human, just robotic murder machines. Only listening to the first hand accounts do you get the actual truth, a truth that is not as cut and dry as either side wants to admit. This man isn't a devil or saint but a human being that was a young man during an insane time of history. Now, he died claiming zero remorse. He claimed he loved Hitler and would do it all again. To that I say..."I get it". He lived a rather privileged life at the time and, again, it was during his youth and he's an old man here. Of course he'd look back on it fondly. That's human. What's paramount is to not listen with any preconceived notions or ideology. Just listen. Listen to those that were there! Those that literally "sat at the table" , those that fought in the trenches, those that worked in the factories, those that went to school and those wearing prisoner uniforms. Listen. Ignore BS propaganda and radicalized wish fulfillment from those with idiotic agendas. Only then can you really know anything about any period.

He became the gateway to Hitler. He had huge and immense power and he seemed to enjoy it. I’m not surprised so many people disliked him.

Im very happy to have found this channel. I had aways wondered what happened to the servants and people around hitler.

He did not speak about the following interesting incident in the interview On 18 July 1944, during a strategy conference in the Wolfsschanze, a fly began buzzing around the room, allegedly landing on Hitler's shoulder and on the surface of a map several times. Irritated, Hitler ordered Darges to dispatch the nuisance. Darges suggested that, as it was an airborne pest, the job should go to the Luftwaffe adjutant, Nicolaus von Below. Hitler took Darges aside, dismissed him on the spot and had him transferred to the Eastern Front. Another version of this story claims Darges was merely snickering as Hitler looked up from the map. Yet another version of Darges' dismissal and transfer by Hitler involves his refusal to marry Eva Braun's sister Gretl Braun, who was pregnant at the time

I heard a version where Hitler finds Darges joke about who was responsible for dispatching the fly amusing. I wonder which is true? Interesting example of how history can get distorted over time.This of course being a trivial little detail, but then history is made up of little details.

To watch his eyes light up with earnest hope and devotion is so incongruent with the life and people he's describing. It seems that, although he was in the orbit of Hitler's inner circle (and felt the full weight of that honor as a young officer), he was not actually a part of the inner circle and it's machinations. This dichotomy seems to have been both a blessing and a curse. He was close enough to become enraptured, and far away enough to remain naive to the true reality. But, then again, that was the rub for many Germans at that time.

German has got to be the most masculine language on earth.

Amazing interview of someone who lived in the time, first hand account. Imagine if we could hear Caesar, Washington, Napoleon etc

At 46:00, two of the three photos are misidentified in Japanese. The photo on the right is identified as "Mussolini", but it is spelled backwards, from right to left, and not left to right, thus: ニーリソツム、instead of ムッソリーニ。 The photo is actually that of the Japanese Emperor, Hirohito. The photo in the middle of Mussolini is described as the Japanese Prime Minister "Konoe". 近衛首相 (correct spelling). This is also spelled backwards. The photo of Hitler is correctly identified, but spelled backwards, from right to left. I have no idea how this could have occurred, but is obviously the work of someone unfamiliar with Japanese. Even if the plate were reversed, the identification would still be incorrect for two of them. Inconceivable that it could have been taken from a Japanese newspaper. I doubt that any of the two fascists would have been flattered to be so mislabeled, especially the Emperor.

I will still never understand why Hess got life in prison when he had little to do with the holocaust and was captured early on in the war??

@Cat Cook Please quit trying to rewrite history. It was well known and documented that Goering did not attempt seize power at the end. He was the designated successor to Hitler. This status had been in effect for years. The reich was falling apart at the seams and communications were breaking down all over the place. The Red Army had Berlin surrounded and they were taking the city neighborhood by neighborhood. All Goering did was ask if Hitler became isolated or out of control of his own person, if Goring should act under the standing order and understood secession procedure for Goering to take over. He asked for Hitler for guidance., and certainly was not a threat to his boss. Unfortunately, Borrman got a hold of this communication, found it to be a direct threat to HIS power, and gave it to Hitler, but was able to con the very sic man into believing that Goering was trying to take over the reich. When Hitler ordered Goering to be arrested and stripped of all titles, Goering did not attempt to flee, or fight off the officers sent to arrest him. If he were truly trying to take over from Hitler, he would have rallied his forces and at the very least protected himself, etc. He did nothing of the sort. All of this is documented and can be easily checked. Goering was a war criminal like the rest of them, but he was not a traitor to Hitler as you described.

In August 1944 Darges returned to the SS Wiking to replace Johannes Mühlenkamp as the commander of the 5th SS Panzer Regiment.[2] It was in command of this unit that Darges was awarded the Knight's Cross for his actions on the night of 4 January 1945.[3] The division was advancing towards Bicske when it was stopped by the 41st Guards Rifle Division of the Soviet 4th Guards Army. Darges initially probed the Soviet line with a mixed Panzer and Panzer Grenadier Kampfgruppe and succeeded in breaking through the line at dawn. Subsequently he ambushed and destroyed a Soviet task force, knocking out four 122mm guns, four 76mm anti-tank guns, twelve trucks and a number of supply vehicles. He then attacked Regis Castle, forcing the garrison to retreat. Darges then found himself surrounded by Soviet reinforcements and was forced to repel several attacks. Three days later when they were relieved by another Kampfgruppe from SS Wiking, they left behind more than thirty destroyed Soviet tanks. One bad ass he was.
