This is a nice work! Thanks for this. As a Bosnian I have to say; most of Bosnians were actually a part of Tito's Partisans Resistance movement against the Axis. But of course, some of them were recruited to form the Bosnian Muslim Axis division in other for Hitler to gain popularity within the Bosnian Muslim majority in Bosnia. They did not succeed in gaining Hitler's popularity because at first, Handjar division should have been a local division which should have protected Muslim citizens from Chetnik Serbs committing crime against them. Instead, they were transferred outside of Bosnia and betrayed by the Nazis. They were not ideologically Nazis but only way to get weapons and equipment to help their own community against the Serbs' crimes was getting it from the Nazis. Lastly, I have to say that it's wrong for you to say that these Bosnian Muslims were speaking Serb-Croatian because we have our own language - Bosnian.

[@petermortimer6303]

In the book "Hell in a Very Small Place" Bernard Fall talks about the Waffen SS in the Legion in Vietnam (French Indo China). He says that it's an accepted myth and that most recruits to the Legion came from Eastern Europe. The average age of the Legion in 1954 was 23 so that most of them would have been boys in 1945. In Eckhard Micehl's Deutsche in der Fremdenlegion 1871-1965:Mythen und Realitataetan (Germans in the Foreign Legion 1871-1965: Myths and Reality) it says that a small number of Waffen SS were able to get into the Legion but when the French government got wind of it they stopped it. One French officer estimated the number of ex-SS accepted into the Legion as 60-70. Perhaps that's a topic Dr Felton could research.

[@petermortimer6303]

@We C You You make a good point about the legion not being too worried about someone's past and in the chaos after WW2 it was probably a lot easier to lie about what you'd done for the past five years. It may have been that anyone with their blood group tattooed under their arm as the Waffen SS had, was excluded. That was a method of identifying ex-SS after the war but it wasn't 100% accurate. My understanding is that nowadays the Legion is more selective since they get so many applicants. They had the reputation for taking anyone but while they may now accept someone with a minor criminal history they wouldn't accept serious criminals (murder/rape/robbery).

Hey Mark, great video as usual! A few interesting things about this division and where I live: The Town where I live held one of the biggest rallies when it came to recruitment of the division. When the communist partisans took over this area, it was punished severely. The town and the local villages mostly evacuated and ran to surrender to the Western Allies, but they were killed in the Bleiburg repatriations. That was the norm, all who were known to collaborate were punished severely with their families, which meant that the remaining Bosnians of the 13th had nowhere to go, so they were employed as mercenaries.

Somebody spread the rumours in France on purpose, to get young soldiers to fight on the side of commies. And yes, they were orphans, very young men whos parents were killed by chetniks.

[@Beaulini]

Thank you Mark for another excellent look into historical information that seems to be missing from the overall history of the combat in France during the War. Good presentation and good research.

[@gregspoony7691]

Man this is so crazy, if it wasn't for people like you Mr. Felton youtube be a less fun place to be. I love me some memes and silly stuff, But learning of history is a joy I have left in this world and your videos bring a brightness to my world. Thank you for helping us all learn and remembering those before us.

Himmler teaches us that being Aryan is not an ethnicity but rather a state of mind.

He could teach as he wished. You are a fool if you wish to learn from his twisted logic.

I've been binge watching this channel the past few days. Absolutely superb content. Subscribed.

[@annoyed707]

To get Mark's material on the supposed History Channel, he'd have to do something about a commando raid of an abandoned storage locker that unearths proof of an ancient mating between Bigfoot and Little Green Men from Rigel Kentaurus.

[@FernandoRodriguez-kl3oc]

😂

[@mneus]

Mr Felton, could you do a segment on the Bombing raids on Dresden in the near future?

[@tiltonroadbirmingham1153]

or Birmingham, Coventry or Southampton etc

0:44 is not a picture of Ustasha Militia. In the middle is Vlado Chernozemski , Bulgarian Macedonian, the assassin of Yugoslav king Alexander in 1934. The picture is from Janka-Puszta's training camp set up for the Ustashe organisation in 1931 in Hungary. Otherwise great content, as usual!
