Okay I have finally figured out how Mark Felton can produce so many detailed stories. He is a time traveler who went back to WW2 with a camera and notebook and got all this info and then came back to do this series. It's the only explanation. Great video

Outstanding! Dr. Felton continues to unearth facts and circumstances that have been either not, or at least, little known. Just fascinating!

You never cease to amaze with the in-depth nature of your documentaries on such a wide range of specific topics. So happy I stumbled across your videos. Truly, thank you for continuing to educate the generations so we never forget what can happen when a civilized people are seduced into going such a dark path. All the best to you, Mark!
I think we should thank this man the amount of research he does to put theses together is unmatched by any other historian on the subject of WW2 From all sides allies and axis I look forward to all your video always learning something new the details and research you must do always telling us something we didn't know thank you sir
Hey Mark. You're a legend. Thank you. So much research presented so simply. 👍👍
This history is vital. So great to see the young people spending time with these videos. Thank you so much
Absolutely love your work ❤️ I can only imagine just how much research goes into each video x
Thank you Professor Felton, for this amazingly detailed biographical and historical accounting.
Dr. Felton is the best historian I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. Love everything you do sir!
I’ve been watching for years, always great videos and very informative ❤️👍
I've been there. It is a part of history. Fascinating. Thank you for this, well done.
Outstanding Documentry by Mark Felton 👏
I was newly stationed in Germany in 1992...all new soldiers and their families (if accompanied) were sent on a several day trip to Berchtesgaden. We stayed at the General Walker Hotel (which was previously the SS Garrison barracks) and by that time Hitler's house was reduced to nearly the foundation. Took every tour that was available and enjoyed the bunker tour. Also the safe that the 101st tried to blow open, displaying the massive hole that the bazooka left was impressive as well. I imagine that all of it is gone now.

Worst damn duty assignment I had in my entire career, both Nacy and Army…pure $hit! Every soldier and their newly arrived dependents were all sent to Berchtesgaden and we stayed in the General Walker Hotel. There were hundreds of us…bus loads. Once we finished Head Start (did you not do Head Start either?) we loaded in up and headed south. Might have been arranged by the USO but, I know that everyone stationed on the Mannheim area Kaserne’s went. I was in NATO…but, that didn’t have anything to do with who went.

Coming up with a topic, doing research, recording and editing- it's almost unbelieveable. Thank you, for all of this! Unless of course he has in his possession a secret Nazi time travel device :)

Dr. Felton, I was wondering if you would be interested in doing a review of the novel Fatherland by Richard Harris. It strikes me as the most realistic 'what if the Nazis won?' altetnate history stories. Given your vast knowledge of the Third Reich I would be interested in hearing your opinion on Fatherland and its alternate 1964 world.

It makes me wonder that most of the gold recovered by the Americans ended up back in America melted down and re-stamped.
