As a very young man I worked as an editorial assistant on the Boston Traveler in the mid-60's. Andrew Tully was still there at the time and though I never knew him, I would come to read his "CIA: The Inside Story" shortly after I left. Far less cognizant of (or,, sadly, interested in) history in those days than I came to be, I had no idea of his foray into Berlin -- but then, nobody ever told me about it, either. Until just now. Thank you, Dr. Felton

Are we supposed to use all those punctuation marks when writing in English? They're's so many of them!

[@roderickcampbell2105]

@@jaymuzquiz2942 Jay, generally yes, that's the way it is. There are quite a few. But the text only has a double comma (,,) which is just a typo as far as I can tell. One feature is to forget about the punctuation marks. They matter but do not add contextual content really. So one can strip out punctuation and focus on the content. Unless it's poetry of course.

[@ServalShots]

@@jaymuzquiz2942 Pretty much what Roderick said. Punctuation is important but you don't have to do it or go crazy with it. Especially in the youtube comments section. If a grammar nazi tries correcting you try not to take it personally but usually online native english speakers type with normal punctuation so ending sentences with periods for example. Sometimes native speakers just say whatever is on their mind and only pay attention to spelling and not really anything else. That person just made some mistakes and added flair but like what Roderick said, that doesn't really add much to the content of what they were saying. Just focus on what you are saying and focus on your conjugation and your appropriate use of words like your, you're and there and their and they're. Knowing the differences between those is actually important.

@@PhazzeeYeehaw I don't have a link, but I remember this story. There was some guy, a paratrooper, who got cought after the d-day, sent to a concentration camp somewhere in the eastern Orussia, but managed to escape. He ran to the east couple of days, was in a very bad condition, but luckily got very strange rescue - he was seen by Alexanda, one of the very few girls who were tank commanders. She took him to the divisions command, and he was offered to be transferred back to americans, but suddenly he said, he'd rather join the tankers (did he like Alexandra so much? Who knows). Anyways, he got Sherman tank and joined the tank brigade. Half a year later he and Alexandra got in a serious battle, Alexandra died from injuries, but the american guys luckily survived once again. Zhukov visited him in hospital and provided him some basic documents, as the originals were in the camp. After the war, he returned home to the US. One more interesting detail: he was considered to be dead and there was a ceremonial funeral of him. In 1946 he married a local girl and - just by the accident - the priest, who married them was the one, who buried him twi years earlier :) Much later in the 80s or 90s, the guy was on a TV with Yeltsin and Clinton.

I learn more about our true history on YT or TT than I ever did in school! Thanks Mark for your content.

Imagine how much work Mark Felton does for the 5-10min videos and then think of a teacher doing 5-6 lessons a day, each an hour long, imagine how much prep they need to do for each lesson and how much subject matter they need to teach, much of which is not that interesting, but is part of the syllabus, but they still have to engage the students. Imagine how much time teachers spend preparing for these lessons, marking the homework, helping students, and they dont get paid any more for it. A good teacher puts in more hours than Felton does on these videos, but the difficulty of the job is why so many teachers leave, and why many fail. Take this video, its about a niche action in the war, some reporters getting into Berlin, it teaches us nothing significant about the war, its good entertainment, but its not essential learning.

Thank you so much Dr. Felton. I was wondering when you would make a Video. Awesome work!

Thank you Mr. Felton for continuing to put out such great historical WW2 content! My Grandfather fought in Germany in WW2 and was with the troops of the Rainbow Division when they went into Dauchau on April 29th 1945! I remember as a young boy the stories he would share with me when I was able to pry them out of him, looking back I know he never liked talking about them, but I was his 1st grandchild and he was my hero then and always! Thanks for keeping these amazing historical facts coming! Today's kids are being taught nothing of it, at least in America. Very sad what our country has been allowed to become.

In a world full of horrid "professional" journalism and cheap sensationalism, I absolutely love your docs, thank you thank you thank you!

Mark Felton videos are a 100% guaranteed watch from me. They are the only content I download for offline viewing.

This is the first time Dr. Felton missed the title. This is a more rip-roaring wild yarn than it suggests, with charismatic characters who might have warranted a title reference.

[@falconeaterf15]

Would be a great movie. So many great stories to be told from WW2 still.

[@The105ODST]

Looks like I am going watching this while I work out.

[@DeltaV3]

How this man continues to surprise us with interesting unknown WW2 facts is beyond me. I honestly thought I had heard them all. We salute you Dr Felton.

[@hurri7720]

Perhaps he is able to read (or translate) something else but English.

[@davidvaughn7752]

Excellent history lesson, Dr. Felton. No, we never learned about this or even heard about it. A truly remarkable story worth telling. Thank you!

[@EMNemesis]

Keeping us occupied in at home, thanks to your daily/weekly uploads 😁

[@homeland6901]

Never surprises me to see Mark's vast array of work to be so successful. Very interesting, great work!

[@saber1105]

The level of excellence and detail in these stories is remarkable! We owe Dr. Felton a debt if gratitude for bringing these to light for us all. Thank you!

[@audiophil4946]

Fascinating history as always Dr. Felton. You have one of the few worthwhile channels on KZbin. Cheers!

[@jstpsgthru]

Thank you. I was stationed in Berlin (1970.) I'm always interested in Berlin; this was a new story for me. I also enjoy your other productions.

[@robotorch]

I second Adriel Sebastian - consistently amazing hidden nuggets, keep them coming Doc

[@rodgerrodger1839]

Dr. Felton, I never miss any of your episodes and always, I mean always find them fascinating. I don't comment as much as I use to you,as so many other's comments are almost as if they part of my own thought process. Just a quick thank you.I think it's safe to say your work is impeccable, your efforts are greatly appreciated by so many of us. Thank you and hopefully you'll be hosting a " Honest" history program on a national level very soon. History as been tarnished and is dying. The truth matters...

[@davidham1338]
