What thanks he got for his part in liberating those who were held in concentration camps ….

I am not really sure the word to combine them all but I always look forward to your work. I grew up with my grandparents and grandpa was a wwII soldier. I have learned so much from Mark's work than any other source of wwII, and I just wish I was able to talk to grandpa about how amazing he was to just survive it. I never got to hear very much from him about his experience, but I grew fascinated by wwII and have learned so much. Thanks again.

Mark Felton’s videos never disappoint… he’s a meticulous researcher and an engaging narrator; Mark makes historical facts and personalities come alive (I can picture poor Col. Murphy, “frustratingly hung over” and running to the toilet every 10 minutes to relieve himself, stepping over Himmler’s still warm body each time). I’m always learning new details about events I’ve been fascinated with since I was a kid… Another great job, Mark !

Thanks you for your video. Very interesting and informative. WWII was multifaceted with many levels. Many years ago I worked in banking. Had the privileged to meet: a CPO (86yo) that told me his first hand account of Pearl Harbor. He was onshore..then everything broke loose. A radio operator that still had classified books. A man that was in the battle of the Bulge with trench foot etc. One veteran telling me the cruiser was hit, they scrambled to throw anything that floated overboard. The ship capsized slowly that they went with the roll/hull, it stayed afloat, they on the hull, and were rescued in 3 hrs, however they were terrified that the oil all over would ignite.

[@rodvickery9169]

A really great piece of detective work Mark and a mystery that will maybe never come to light until 2045 if it ever does. I guess the only good thing is that Himmler met his end before a trial at Nuremburg.

[@Mr.MFuckingYTchangedmyname]

"Good" for people who were slithering around doing all manner of dodgy deals which wouldn't have done their public image much good (ie. Churchill). A little knowledge is great power, but unfortunately for Himmler, he knew TOO much and couldn't be allowed to spill his guts.

Well done Dr. Felton. It is great having all of these Himmler stories put together. I had some driving to do today and was listening to your collection regarding this topic while I was driving. It certainly made the drive a lot more tolerable. So many times there are different theories about what happened in someplace or to someone. In the end we are left speculating about what may or may not have occurred. One thing we know for sure though is if a country locks something up in their archives there's a reason why......
