Thank you Dr. Felton!

This comment makes me happy to hear that folkes of all deficiencies can still learn about our history.

[@ChronoChris64]

It still confuses me after basically a 80 years why some places still refuse to give up information that really don't seem to harm anybody but only Aid in the historical effort to explain what ended up happening to people and there things perhaps I'm missing something but either way great video as always❤

[@elissitdesign]

Maybe because the articles were handed over by a family for preservation and they want to remain anonymous. Maybe this family has gold bars too! 😂

[@theallseeingmaster]

Some secrets are so secret that, centuries later, they are still kept. Who was Queen Elizabeth I's spy in the Spanish court? She had to have one, they all did. Hers seems to have been effective; who was this person?

[@cocaine9148]

Sometimes I ask this question to my self. How I can show my kids this history. Then I fond Dr. Felton. I thought I don't need to worry about it. And now evertyng leaed us here. It's sad that we need to listen trough 3 words to hear one. 😢😢

[@bassett_green]

Maybe it was donated by Goring himself and he needed to stay anonymous after faking his death

[@jimjam51075]

I suspect it was previously held by someone that shouldn't have had it in the first place but was allowed to for some time.

Thank you Dr. Felton!!! I am not sure what happened with you tube but this was a previous episode. Still glad to review it as Goering, although pompous and involved with himself as evidenced with his awards and uniforms was still interesting in his actions.

7:04 'due to confidentiality reasons the Imperial War Museum has been unable to give me any details about where these two uniforms came from.' wait, what? in 2023 they are still unable to talk about something they probably obtained in 1945? why? do they fear repatriation claims from Germany? this is absurd.

[@MosoKaiser]

I doubt the original sourcing of the items during end stages of WW2 or immediately afterwards are of concern, but their later provenance might. Who knows, they might have gone through some shadier dealings and owners before getting to the museum.

[@brianrunyon266]

Goring sounds like the type of guy who wanted to be as over-the-top as possible.

[@deltanovember1672]

Definitely homosexual.

[@ranulf8477]

He was drug addicted since WWI and he was so fat and wearing a purple fantasy uniform at the end of WWII that all Luftwaffe soldiers thought: WTF is that? I heared it from some old men in the 1990s. But at least he always seemed to be the most normal person among others. His brother was a priest and visited him in his cell in Nuremberg right before his death.

[@chillpengeru]

​@@cocaine9148were you high on bath salts when you made these comments?

[@damianousley8833]

Nah, Goering was just a drug addled ponce in the end, dressing up in his wardrobe of flashy uniforms. He made a big mistake before Hitlers death in trying to assume political power. He should of shut up and waited a couple more days until until Hiltler was definitely dead then the succession laws would have made him furher for a short while in the Nazi rump government and not Donitz. Either way, he was going to end up dead.

[@muskokamike127]

He took being a nazi to a whole new level. Hitler did it with everything but his uniform. Have you ever seen his plans for germania? and not to mention his mega tank idea. You can see the "pomp and circumstance" in all their rallies....with all the banners and eagles and stuff. They turned everything up to 11, Goring? he cranked it up to TWELVE lol. Funny tho, powder blue? A fighter pilot could spot that from 1000 ft easy. 1500 soldiers in panzer grey and here's goring in a powder blue uniform...he'd stand out like a sore thumb.

[@trickydicky2908]

Goring was kinda like a big kid (tyranny notwithstanding). He had a MASSIVE model railroad, located at Karinhal, I think.

[@deltanovember1672]

He did.

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

He did. Google "Goering's Maerklin Trains" for a good article and photos of the same.

A Dr Felton video on my birthday a perfect gift❤

[@dewlittle1211]

Hello Mark, I was wondering if you know of the tale of Mussolini's last active soldier by the name of Scire. He was an old Somalian man in his 80s who served as an Askeri during the Colonial wars under Italy and 'reenlisted' as a corporal during the crisis in Somalia in 1993 by the Italians stationed there at the time. He came up to the Italians stationed there in his old Second World uniform and with his old rifle.

[@ranulf8477]

Thats even better than the japanese soldier coming out of the jungle in the 1970s.

The original NSDAP membershipcard of Netherlands Prince Bernhard (1911-2004) zu Lippe-Biesterfeld was found. He had sworn on the bibel never to have been a member. He was a member in a special force SS unit. I'd like a movie about this, please

[@regsparkes6507]

[@NotoLeft]

Amazing stuff as always, it's a shame these institutes do not give up information even after 80 years and when everybody involved in the events is dead!

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

Sometimes they keep quiet if the participant's immediate descendants are still living to spare them any embarassment. Some historian say an objective analysis of events can't be made until 150 years AFTER those events, once the participants and their descendants have passed away. Who knows?

He made himself Reichjägermeister , head of all game hunting in germany. He designed his own costumes for that office with aparently more sense of theatricals than ridicule. I wonder what happened to those?

Good question! Probably lost or destroyed. But interestingly what's survived are the German hunting laws and regulations Goering wrote as Reichsjagermeister, they were so functionally correct they're still on the books today.

[@douglasgreen437]

[@placeholdername3206]

Göring was way ahead on the bling game. Like many rappers today, he literally wore "fake" medals, as in they weren't the originals he was awarded. They were copies that was permanently attached to his different outfits. Not for financial reasons obviously, not mainly for convinience. Swapping medals between outfits all the time would take too long. So i'm pretty sure he had fakes made of the diamond encrusted eagle too.

[@goldenfiberwheat238]

Goering had so much drip he was in desperate need of a plumber

[@greyone40]

... and I will re-watch for whatever reason I might come up with at the time.

[@nullstatic2468]

Fantastic work as usual! One topic that I would love for you to explore is the extensive research done and resources committed to Nazi Germany's development and manufacturing of new chemical weapons leading up to and during the war. An enormous amount of time, money, and intellectual capability spent on producing a brand-new class of chemical weapon (nerve agents) only to never use them during the war - and how that expertise was later exploited by the allies to produce the mind-bogglingly enormous Cold War stockpiles that were only recently destroyed.

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

Did you know the German chemical weapons factories were the only war production plants Hitler never visited? It's true. Even though Hitler authorized the production of chemical weapons he hated the things, being a gas casualty him in WW1.

Dear Dr. Felton, It was a pleasure having you visit the Royal War Museum. I must say your knowledge of WW2 minutia knows no bounds! Regretfully, I must draw attention to your use of the WC, or rather the lack there of. You have been warned about pooping "in the corners" yet you continue to defile the museum's grounds. After your last visit we were forced to use a Cold-Era snow shovel to clean up after your "doo doo". With great sadness I must inform you that you'll need to wear a diaper on your next visit.

[@ibbylancaster8981]

Mark, I have a few pieces of memorabilia that my grandfather brought back from Italy at the end of the war. I often wonder about the men who wore them at one time. Who were they? Men, who were there because they had to be or wanted to be? I have letters from my great uncle, who was in the liberation force at Buchenwald. The treatment of the Jews was a terrible thing and the photos that he sent are a testament of the horrors. How does one become so terrible. Unfortunately, history has a tendency to repeat itself. Keep up the great work sir! Much love to you from Raeford NC, USA!🤙

[@Scribe333]

Hey Mark PLEASE consider this question for me! so point number 12 of the National Socialist Program states resolutely that: "In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice in property and blood that each war demands of the people personal enrichment through a war must be designated as a crime against the people. Therefore we demand the total confiscation of all war profits." So, the absolute dazzle of some of these officials during wartime seems remarkably hypocritical, and given the die hard political loyalties at that time, i was wondering if you knew one way or another what their justification was? Or if he purchased these with his own money or something? any insight would be appreciated. as always, Thank you so kindly for being here and doing this. Your an immortal legend on this platform!

[@petervonstamer7859]

I had two relatives in the Wehrmacht my great grandfather and his brother sadly my father recently passed away but out of bad come good which was that I was lucky enough to inherit all their military items as my brothers and sister wanted nothing to do with the items so i gave a few thousand dollars to each of them. Now the collection will not be broken up and will remain together. I estimate that the collection contains about 99% of the military items they had during the war I have no idea how they kept it all and moved it to Australia as that is where my family has lived since not long after the war ended the collection contains their uniforms, awards, documents, photo & video albums and a Luger. They were Fregattenkapitän Heinz Stamer and Generalleutnant der Heeres and honorary SS-Gruppenführer Ludwig Stamer. I was told by my father the reason he accepted the honorary SS rank was because it came with all the usual luxuries of a SS general a staff car, pay check, ect. I was told stories by my dad about what happened and where they were during the war but i need to contact the place in Germany to see what information they can guve me

[@Babinho95]

The interesting thing with the colourful crew of Hitlers inner circle is that they are all such wildly different characters. For me Gorings defining trait is his desire for the finer things and to live a life of prestige and glamour. He’s a stark contrast to Hitler in so much as Hitler genuinely believed the dogma that he was spouting whereas I believe that Goring was more of a fair weather nazi who was happy to go along with the madness to further his own desires. I think his alignment to the Nazis and Hitler was really just a means to an end.

Mark, since you mentioned Goering and Hitler's heights, I was thinking of something perhaps you'd know more about. Neville Chamberlain is listed as 6'2 everywhere I've looked, but in photos of him alongside Hitler they don't appear to be very different in height. I don't imagine Hitler to be any taller than we already think, so do you think he was wearing enormous boots or Neville's height was grossly overstated? Great video as always.

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

In a previous video Dr. Felton gave Hitler's height as 5'9", slightly above average for a European man of the time. I read the same somewhere else but don't remember where. That particular video was about the heights of the various WW2 leaders, you can find it easily.
