Incredible how he can get this footage. What I love about this channel besides learning, is that there is a story or an explanation of what specifically is going on in the Nazi film and the circumstances around it or why it is significant. So many times when watching a documentary on WW2 there is so much "B role" that has nothing to do with the story being told. I appreciate how concise and informative Mark's channel is.

Will never forget this...it haunts me till this day. Bob

Amazing footage Mark! You are the hardest working historian I follow sir.

You have an amazing KZread Channel and content. I wish someone would commission you to do an updated version of the documentary series The World at War which as no doubt you know was narrated by Laurence Olivier, to include the declassified documents and footage from Russia which was classified at the time of the aforementioned series ( due to the Cold War), also putting proper context into the depth of involvement of Albert Speer in the Camps which wasn’t known at the time of original broadcast and only came to light posthumously in his death bed letter detailing the true scope of his involvement. Only someone with your oratorical flair and voice akin to Olivier can do the update any justice. It would be great to see the War from other nations perspective not covered in the series as well as a greater emphasis on the Russian theatre of the War. I wish that you could do the series aligning the chapters of the 26 episodes showing what the places look like now and how much has changed in our understanding of WWII, from an intelligence gathering, and declassification perspective. I think that would be fascinating. Please consider it if you have the means to do so now, or in the future. Thanks again for the amazing historical insight into one of the most darkest times in our history.👍👍👍.

Or maybe it's because of the poor state of his health by that point in the war. By the spring of 1943, Goering was 50 years old, had been addicted to morphine for 20 years, was extremely stressed because Hitler blamed him for the repeated failures of the Luftwaffe to turn the tide of the war, and was morbidly obese. Back in those days, even with state-of-the-art medical care, a man like that could expect to live for maybe another ten years if he was lucky, and likely in severe chronic pain at that.

My Dad would have liked Mr. Felton's Channel he served in WW2 & Korea and before he passed, he had read every book he could find on both Wars. My Dad and the Public Library were good friends.

Electrical Engineering,Computer Science are my background,but also a history buff,given the chance to talk and discuss history with Mr Felton would be an honor for me.

This is one of my favorite channels :) Thank you for keeping it well fed!

This was fascinating, thank you. Having read so much about this period, it's incredible seeing the footage like this as its so hard to come by. It's very important it should be available.

Love all your content Mr. Felton. Cheers from Texas. 👍

Thank you, Dr.Felton, for your tireless work in bringing these little known stories to the world.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Excellent. Excellent content. Thank you for your investigative, writing, production, and editing work, Doctor Mark Felton. I had always liked your canter and tone, ever since hearing a few of the pre KZread History Channel-esque documentary productions, of which you had been engaged to narrate.

Fascinating yet, disturbing. This is all footage I have not seen. Mark sets the stage with a concise background and narrates the subject matter with seldom matched accuity. This channel is an invaluable resource. Hat's off once again Mark!

Excellent production as usual

As much of a life-long WWII buff as I am, I never appreciated just how little Hitler spoke publicly after Stalingrad. He practically became a recluse!

Glad you put your photo in the vids. We can now imagine you speaking. :) Thank you for all your hard work.

Mark as ever excellent content. I've always had an interest in military history having served and having many family members having served through the wars . Your detail and delivery are excellent

Kompakte und verständliche Erklärung deutscher Geschichte vom März, 1943 zusammen mit verschiedenen Fotos und Filme. Ausgezeichnet!

Another excellent presentation, so well researched and narrated. 👌👏👏👏👏

"Tresckow commissioned intelligence officer Freiherr von Gersdorff to obtain explosives on the eastern front.Gersdorff visited the Abwehr’s depots and asked for a demonstration of plastic explosive “clams,” captured from British commandos. The clams used silent acid fuses no bigger than pocket Bibles. In one test, a clam blew off the turret of a Russian tank and hurled it twenty yards." -Church of Spies Is this fact confirmed as to where he got the British clam mines?

Klaus von Stauffenberg also used captured British "clam" mines in his attempt to kill hitler on July 20th 1944. The silent fuses made them particularly effective for covert tasks.

A month after this, hitler would claim in a speech that the total casualty count was a little over 500,000. The world press ridiculed him greatly for that. The Germans had lost 300,000 surrounded soldiers in Stalingrad and about a million more in the 6 months of fighting there.. let alone the losses on other fronts in the previous 4 years

I'm beginning to think that hitler shot himself out of embarrassment for how incompetent his general staff had been about assassinating him.

@sarkaniemi

Almost! That's basically what he did when he eventually committed suicide in 1945. Had the previous assassin attempts been more successful, he would have gone earlier and the war would have ended earlier. So he eventually had to take care of it himself!

Thank you again for providing factual, non-melodramatic, non-politicized, non-virtue-signaling material. Very much a rarity nowadays, which is unfortunate because the need for rational study and objective understanding/perspective is as important as ever....indeed, dare I say, perhaps more than ever. Cheers.

You sure get access to some rare and amazing footage Mark.

I've read so many books on world war two history, but can't recall ever reading or hearing about this particular assassination plot. Amazing! Keep the videos coming, Mark! Remarkable work!

I discovered your channel a little over a year ago, and listened to video after video while at work just before corona rocked the world, and nearing the 1 year mark I’d watched every video you’ve produced up to that point; now, I anxiously await the notification to learn more!

Only recently discovered this channel,so catching up on it all, absolutely love it,you are a legend sir.👍👍

It’s very disturbing watching videos of all the troops now. It’s mesmerizing how many there were and the patterns they would march. And nearly every last one of them would be dead 5 years later

The wounded soldiers that I'm sure he pretended to listen to during the ceremony, didn't seem to be too taken with him. I'd love to know what was going through their heads at the time.

Yes, the German is better translated as "Heroes' Commemoration Day" - but the popular interpretation does give it the slant you describe. "Nazi Day of the Dead" has a gothic, sacrificial and dark essence to it.

I love seeing and hearing things I had no idea happened during the War. The best part? A week later, Mark will do it all again! Great stuff.

Thanks for the good quality

Awesome history. Thank you Mark Felton!!!!!
