@@scepticsquirrel not only him, also Hitler. The Nazi Government was a machine that needed very little input from Hitler. All he ever did was voice his wishes, concerns and ideas which you could also read in his book. Its was only in the war where he actively took command of the armed forces. Fascist systems generally need little input from their leader but their are very fanatic about the input that they get. And most initiatives are being executed in the name of the leader with them only finding out afterwards.

I work with some pensioners who lived through the war, one chap I visit has some fascinating stories I could listen to him for hours. He used to live in Wanstead London when he was a lad, and told me about the POW camp that was on Wanstead Flats. It held Italian and German POWs and was there until around 1948. He told me that it never really was a prison camp as you would imagine, particularly once the war had ended the soldiers used to manage themselves and there were not many soldiers guarding them. Towards the end there wasn’t even a fence and the prisoners used to do work in the local area, they would socialise with the locals and play in local football teams, attend local churches etc. He said many families would invite prisoners round for to eat an evening meal with them. In fact quite a few local girls ended up marrying a young German or Italian lad and starting families and many opted to stay in Britain after they were released which is why in London you have Italian restaurants and Ice Cream parlours that the soldiers set up. Apparently his father happily took on young Germans to work for him after they were released as he said they were very good workers, he owned an engineering firm. His father told him that getting to know the POWs they realised they were just young lads conscripted into the army who had no choice and it wasn’t them who started the war. They realised they were just like their sons and brothers who were sent off to fight - they didn’t have a choice. I think its a great story how people are just people and it’s politicians and governments and tyrants who cause wars not young men and women starting out in life.

I was born and lived many years in Berlin before moving to the United States. I remember my Grandfather telling me how he met Mr. Goebbels before the War after a speech he gave at the Sportpalast Arena around 1938. Unfortunately, he was impressed by Goebbel's charisma and devotion to the Fatherland. My memories are those playing in the rubble and having many childhood friends who lost their fathers during the War. My family lost everything after the war due to Russian confiscation.

[@mrkeogh]

That was really appalling. Imagine being *that* committed to a cause that you'd kill your own children. It's debatable how well the Soviets would have treated the Goebbels children if they had been captured alive (probably exploiting them for propaganda purposes for the rest of their lives), but several occupants in the bunker made a dash for the West as the Soviets closed in and few Germans would have blamed the children for their parents odious behaviour.

The actress Corinna Harfouch who portrayed Magda Goebbels, had a mental breakdown on set as how a mother could kill all her children in the name of the state. The impasse went on for more than a few hours and filming was suspended as she was inconsolable. It took the producers/director to come in and figure out how to get her state of mind back on track to finish the days filming.

Colbert said when you turn a certain age you become obsessed with all things WW2. Well, it's happened to me, I didnt care at all when I was younger but now I watch this channel all the time. Weird isnt it.

My mornings are always brightend up by a Felton video

[@drobinbarker]

I am so very grateful to you Mark Felton for being the scholarly entrepreneur and audacious historian who has accomplished so much in the furtherance of apparent objective history. You are obviously an exemplary person to have done what far too many have failed to do before. Your accuracy is absolutely stunning! Please do keep it up Mark!

always intriguing Mark..

1:58 German friend of mine 25 years ago was showing me around Hamburg and pointed out a building near the alster [the little one] in which his grandmother had lived and which had had an UXB in the roof until a crew came to toss it in the river, at which point apparently it exploded. Supposedly, many years later, she had in a tone of mock wistfulness cited this speech and told her grandson, "Goebbels asked us, 'do you want the Total War'? We said yes. It was nice..." This stands for my whole life as the epitome of dry wit and subtle sarcasm.

Could you make a video about Hiitler's viking funeral? Not heard that before

[@fiveninecummins7768]

Excellent work, as usual, my friend! Keep em' coming, Mark!

[@MrChispa06]

I have to say he's the one and only man that makes me feel like I'm watching an actual documentary on TV. I swear he has the voice for it. Thank you for your content.

[@deedt8279]

what about the story of - Hitler, they claim, escaped punishment and lived out his life in tranquility in Patagonia until his death in 1962 at the age of 73.

[@Minoltalphafan]

I am amazed there was a telegraph line still working out of Berlin.

[@germany456]

I remember my grandfather actually saw hitler he was at least 10-15 feet from him, he was in Nurnberg standing with his HJ squad waiting he was in the 2nd line like a road and infront was some random guy and my grandfather actually saw hitler in his famous Mercedes car

When you want to learn something more about history and a Mark Felton video is suggested on KZbin: Simply awesome.

[@tonvanderzalm4612]

As always Mark, very interesting 👍 love your channel 👍 you always seem to find footage that I've never seen before, so thnx🙏🙏 for that. 👍👍

[@brandonleca3765]

i must say, these are some pretty darn good videos.

[@AnTunZee]

I enjoy learning about history, mostly from watching the history channel with my father as a child. I wish he was still here because I know he would be glued to these videos instead of the history channel, just like me!

[@Obetv01]

Now I just have to go find and watch Downfall. Again.

[@Finchy67]

What a great video. Anyone interested in this period of history will do no better than to watch this channel. Well done Mark and thank you.

[@garyfrancis6193]

So when is the musical version of this coming out?

[@cassandraralph5906]

This video left me absolutely speechless and sad! How can a mother kill her own children?! They were the helpless pawns in the middle of these terrible events!

because the soviets would have butchered them in unspeakable ways had they not made that decision

[@Best.Of.Britian]

Because they couldn't flee with 6 children in tow, they couldn't leave them in the bunker because the frenzied Soviets would have killed every German in sight regardless of alignment. And even if they did somehow make it out of Berlin they'd be constantly harassed for their entire lives, it was a mercy

To save them from soviet rape
