@@MyFiddlePlayer Without question. The fact that it's been presented with practically every detail considered and in a way that is neither dull nor foolish is amazing.
Blurring out those disillusioned propagandist conspiracies. One thing for certain corporal Adolph is deceased. Along with his wife & German shepherd 🐕. May the Shepherd rest in canine heaven.
Very well done . It's probably the best analogy or theories about what happened. Who knows what could be. No one knows the truth but them . No one could get it out of them, even interrogation. Or was it planned that way so no one knew
I think Heinz Linge told the truth in his 1955 inerview - he had no reason to tell lies then and was secretly very proud of what they had done. Thanks Mark for a compelling series
In '55 if Adolf had escaped with Eva they may still have been alive and in hiding... Linge a loyal German SS officer who served as a valet for Hitler would likely have said anything to protect Hitler and Eva at this time... and of course to save himself from retribution... note he changed stories many times, likely leave a false trail...
As a young person and later when I was in the military we thought Hitler was endlessly devious and surely had a plan B to get out of Berlin. I guess he was too addled to give up and run. Mark your films look like you have a staff of 20 working, researching, editing, writing. You’re a machine. Very good work as always.
This show is produced by a random person on TH-cam??? I seriously thought this was a British television show!!! It’s one of my favorite series on WW2. Wow!!!
@@aldhadenglisc6937 Like I said, he could have left everyone behind and ensure that those that knew were dead. You would have to feign illness for years to make the impossible seem possible. Afterall, his enemies would looking for a old vegetarian man with a Germanic accent that's riddled with neurological illness like Parkinson's disease. The fact is that you're just as naive to believe the official story of his death without his body being found. For all we know, he lived out the remainder of his life on a ranch in Utah via Operation Paper Clip. Without a body there's always going to be doubt.
But is this the REAL and true Dr. Mark Felton or some conspiracy to make the the West believe this is Dr.Felton ? We may never know...we must continue to look for the evidence and not just to accept this is Dr. Felton. LOL just a little humor thrown on here. Thank you, Dr. Felton, for you're discovery on the truth of history. Our modern Thomas Paine.
Dr. Felton, I suggest compiling the 6 episodes into a single feature length one. TH-cam would surely recommend it a lot due to the premium length. This kind of historical investigation deserves to be heard by as many people as possible.
Yes, I would definitely prefer a single feature that dispenses with the rapid fire repetition at the beginning of each episode which made my head hurt.
This series is some truly remarkable journalism. Bravo Mr Felton. How Netflix has not hired you to make a full documentary of this yet I do not know. You are truly one of the treasures of youtube.
Netflix don't hire people to make documentaries. Production companies make documentaries then they place them for sale with various platforms. This is how documentaries have primarily been made for a long time.
Considering this is a topic strewn with nonsense and ridiculous speculation, I appreciate Dr. Felton's rational reporting of the historical information and his rational theories where information is scarce or contested.
The series HUNTING HITLER just contains too much paper trail from American secret service agencies to discount the possiblity that Hitler was taken by Uboat to Argentina. This needs further research. @brian2u590
I think my comments in the main column are blocked so I will just toss my thoughts here. Felton still evades the proven and known fact that Hitler's doctor drove him unstable. In this case the main bit of evidence is missed. The witness said he saw Hitler with his head smashed. This tells us one thing. His head was opened to remove the dental bridge work immediately following the death. This means the forensic deception with the switched bodies was planned NOT a sudden decision made when these brilliant planners realized the bodies were not burning. The pair are as one inner circle member stated. They are in a common grave nearby. They remain near to the center of power, waiting for their spirits to be summoned again.
@brian2u590 well said! with Berlin an inferno, thousands dying and the Red Army storming the Reichstag , it was hardly a time to be looking for Eva's false teeth.
This series has got to be your finest work in a long history of excellent scholarship, Felton. It’s a pity there isn’t an award category for TH-cam content creation, because I feel this series is Oscar/Emmy/Golden Globe worthy. Well done!!
As a former medical examiner, I had come to the same conclusion as you and outlined it in the comments section of your last video in this series. It certainly makes the most sense based on the evidence available.
My grandfather lost a leg in the fight for the bunker. He was basically there for the last fight. He was convinced until his death about 25 years ago that Hitler escaped with others on a plane that left before the use of the emergency airstrip was impossible. However, he was a tanker and not inner circle (but I think consolidated under Waffen SS at the last minute), and a fellow soldier took off his black tanker uniform and insignia as warrant officer after he could not move from the shattered leg because either one would have gotten him killed by the Russians approaching: Either being an officer or having a black uniform - because there were only 2 types of black uniforms: SS and tankers. But by the time Russians come close, they didn't check insignias; they just shot everyone with a black uniform. He was cared for for 2 years until his stump fully healed - Antibiotics were still an American military secret and leaving the hospital without proper care could have killed him. This way, he also avoided Siberia. He didn't know if his family was still alive and they didn't know if he was. They lived in East Prussia and all that was gone. So, he went to his parents-in-law, and found his wife and 2 older kids well and alive, and had 2 more - one of them my mother.
Glad your grandfather survived, minus part of a leg. My grandfather escaped the Soviet Union before WW2, taking a bullet. He, navigator on a Russian ship, saw all his shipmates murdered by the communists. He survived due to him being a navigator. As for Hitler, I have read a lot about WW2, and continue to read about that period of time, now working on the Russian Revolution. I think, believe, assume Hitler did escape. One author on most things Nazi, firmly believes Hitler got out of Berlin and made it safely to Argentina. It's sad some people, like Felton, can't wrap their heads around that fact. Amazing how many of us have relatives who were involved in WW2, or even the Russian Revolution.
@@bondgabebond4907 I've always been open to the idea of him having escaped to Argentina. I don't buy the argument that he wouldn't have left his entourage behind, they would have been a liability for him in his escape and new life. Also the fate of Bormann is not 100% certain. The last 2 ''inner circle'' survivors of the Bunker who testified to his death were Traudl Junge and Rochus Misch and both were loyal to him so would have said anything to cover his tracks.
@@Stable_Genius No, generally the evidence doesn't support his escaping, but it is possible. The thing that appears to be most unlikely nevertheless can be exactly what did happen. It can't be ruled out, even if very unlikely.
@@simonh6371 You make good points there, and about Bormann you are right and what you say about his entourage is what I thought also. It is possible. Having experience in cases in criminal law I have learned the thing that is first scoffed at and bears the brunt of derision and ruled out as ridiculous can turn out to be exactly what did happen. For ore thing, new evidence often comes to light. I have learned ( the hard way ) to keep an open mind - always.
It can not end until he addresses known facts that include the 1998 CBS video showing the Hitler double found in Berlin that had most obviously died from cyanide. Or the complete “manifesto” that Hitler had dictated is shown in its entirety and then commentated on, a simple “Oh it was unapologetic and hateful “ isn’t enough.
What Dr Felton calls "his little theory" is the most sensible, balanced and credible I've heard on this most muddled piece of WW2 history. Congratulations on this espetacular series.
...how ironic is that a man who strived for an everlasting glory during his lifetime, ultimately gained it in his death by barely managing to have a proper anonymous burial. Unknown burial that ultimately created a everlasting myth. Mr. Felton thank you for this mini series. Truly a masterful production...:D
Excellent documentary : you're stating alot of things I came to a conclusion a while ago on. Berlin was far too much of a cauldron for many/any top officials to make it out, let alone to another country. There however was well more than enough manpower and preparations to hide Hitler and Eva's bodies well enough the soviets wouldn't find them. How many died defending Berlin? How many thousands of bodies were charred beyond recognition that were burried in mass graves for expediency? That is much, much more easily accomplished with the two largest armies in world history bearing down on you
Why bother hiding the bodies in the first place, though? What mattered to Hitler and his entourage was that the bodies would not be desecrated publicly by the Soviets. Which is why the SS burned the bodies. But once this was done and the remains had become little more than a few bone fragments and ashes, there was little more that the Soviets could've done to desecrate the corps anyway. All this cloak-and-dagger body-swapping under heavy Russian artillery fire is frankly quite ridiculous.
@@francesco245 You cannot burn bodies down to ash in an open hole filled with petrol, think of a crematorium and all it entails to cremate a body. The doubles were put in place a long time before the Soviets got there. Open your mind and your brain will follow.
If we believe the post-mortem reports, someone wanted it to be believed that the two bodies had been poisoned with cyanide - and this was not the case. Perhaps to conceal the real Hitler/Braun to deny them to the Soviets, or perhaps to conceal the real cause of death. Perhaps it wasn’t suicide at all. Only speculation remains but - logically - it probably has to be one of those two reasons.
The most awaited video on youtube in years!! What ever happened, Ive always believed Hitler and his loyal followers would NEVER have allowed himself to be taken by the Russians, dead or alive. The abject distain and contempt for the Russians they had meant avoiding this was their entire #1 priority. Best trustworthy reporting on the topic, I hhave ever listened to.
Brilliant. With the other five in the series almost 2 hours of fascinating and painstaking analysis. Better than almost all of the "history" programmes produced on television these days. Thank you Dr Felton.
I’ve really been enjoying your videos, Dr. Felton. As a Hungarian, I’d love to see you tackle the siege of Budapest as I feel it is criminally underreported while being one of the bloodiest battles of the European theater. Keep up the good work!
The valet said (17:10) that they were in the "park of the Chancellery", in a mass grave. But he didn't say which part. In theory, one could go dig up the whole grounds of the Chancellery looking for DNA, but I suspect no one will want to spend that much time and money looking for a needle in a haystack.
Yes, perfect sense. Hitler didn't want his corpse violated after seeing what had happened to Mussolini. He didn't want to "be an exhibit in the Moscow Zoo". He took his own life to deny the Allies the victory of capturing him or (most likely) killing him, and ordered his valet and other aides to burn Eva Braun's and his own body, then bury them in the garden of the Reich Chancellory.
@@MyFiddlePlayer Not to mention disturbing the grave. Although, perhaps with today's DNA technology, those other remains could be identified and given individual burial. Having said that, I don't know what the scope of such a project would be. How big a mass grave is it?
Yes perfect sense if you’re a potato. All Mark’s objections to Hitler having escaped to Argentina are superficial, shallow and go against Logic and reasonable deductions of Hitler’s personality. There are witnesses and photographs of Hitler in Argentina, as were shown in this video. Yet some people refuse to see, what’s as plain as the nose on their face, bc their emotions blind them to reality. They don’t want to believe that Hitler got away with everything that he did, bc that affronts their presuppositions and sense of Ultimate Justice. How could Karma or God, or whatever controls the Universe, allow that to happen? Is what their subconscious mind is telling them. So they’re willing to bend all the known facts and distort the possibilities and plausibilities, to fit their own ulterior agenda and all to pander, to their false sense of security, as a child clings to their blankie, against all logical reasons to put it down. Watch the documentary film Greywolf to see the Truth for yourself.
Mark, your video productions are of the highest quality. Clearly written script accompanied by well-sourced visual media. Your channel ranks top on my list. Thank you!
At first when I was watching the prior episodes I was trying to wrap my head around why the soviets would be lying about the autopsy results. Now hearing it all the way to the end and what likely happened where they were never found does in-fact make perfect sense and after all these years I have changed what I think happened. Absolutely fascinating! Thank you Mark!
I think, my personal theory, was Stalin wanted Hitlers body so bad to be able to display it in Moscow as a propaganda trophy that those given the assignment to bring the body back to Moscow even if they knew it wasn't Hitlers had but little choice but to say it was his. After all, if you failed Stalin, you Died, period. Thats enough motivation to forge evidence.
I think that's the best version of the true series of events we'll ever get. If so, it means his and Braun's remains elided both the Soviets and the GDR.
What an awesome, intriguing and captivating series that presents this fascinating story in a clear , convincing and plausible manner. Yet another superb production from Mark Felton who has truly set the standard for this type of historical documentary.
Mark, I think your theory is spot on. This is what I had always thought happened to Hitler and Eva's bodies. I wish I could have asked my friends Otto Gunche and Rochus Misch who I got to know and became friends with in the early 90's. Both of them were firm in their belief that Hitler did kill himself along with Eva Braun and both heard the shot that Hitler used his pistol to shoot himself and Gunche was the first person to open the door and see Hitler and Eva dead on the couch. Misch watched as both bodies were carried out of the bunker. Gunche carried one end of Hitler and Linge carried the other end. Both of them went back into the bunker to continue destroying documents of Hitlers. I think this is where Rattenheuber and the others may have made the switch and buried the bodies in another location on the bunker complex.
I believe this also. They're burring Them somewhere else .and fakes the other Bodies close to the Bunker. Hitler Was not interested get him found or his Bodie. Same Eva . The Dogs found next there make them believe . this was Hitler . So they're stop search around the Bunker. I believe the Corps Of Hitler and Eva are still somewhere there . He did not run Like Chicken , He was for real. Its so much Conspiracy and They have to say Stalin good news ,other wise they went to Gulag for sure . Leave Them alone .
I have a problem with Misch and Gunche reports, they are not credible persons , Hitler could simply persuated the Inner circle to confirm that he was dead, couldnt he ?
I think the only reason Mark Felton doesn't believe Hitler had escaped to Argentina was the strange silence of the whole world on the subject after ww2. No one, even the Soviet and the Jew wanted to investigate further and stayed away from it as if they feared something.
@on-our-radar it can be tested through DNA we have if alive 3 great nephews, the body location of his nephew , we can find hitlers sister body if burried after war in uk , if any of hitlers bones remain
Why is Mark a reliable source for approaching an important and intriguing historical mystery? Because if there is no final solution to the riddle, he will just say so! Thank you, Mark.
Yes! The idea of Hitler "buggering off" anywhere is hilarious to me! I can just imagine Churchill saying he was going to bugger off somewhere. Didn't he once say he had to keep "buggering on"?

I'd suggest it probably wasn't in particularly good shape after the Soviets did their autopsy on it. Mind you, if I ever make it to the Kremlin, I will be looking around to see if there is a stuffed Alsatian sitting in a corner somewhere.
@@asullivan404719:37 Mentions right at this point what the fate of both Hitler's and Braun's dogs were. Used to lend further authenticity to the fraud.
Bravo, Mark! Your programs are always entertaining and informative, but this series "Find the Fuehrer" is simply outstanding. It was captivating, like a true crime drama, yet it is factual. This and the Himmler series should win you several awards. Cheers!
I am strangely fascinated by Heinz Linge, the valet. (1) The Sovjet prison really took a toll on him. In the photo at 15:56 he looks reasonable healthy. The photo at 16:04 - probably taken during captivity -shows a broken old man. There are less than 10 years between these 2 photos. After his release he seems to have recovered. He looks much better in the interview at 16:45 (but note that he was only 42 years old at the time of this interview). (2) His English in the interview at 16:45 is really good. Surprisingly good, really, considering his background. I looked up his CV: He received only basic education and was a brick layer before joining the SS Leibstandarte (Hitler's body guard unit). Pretty good English for a bricklayer. (The current German foreign minister's English is worse, if you ask me).
If you ever need to know anything real about anyone, always find the valet. They know their employer better than anyone. They see them in their personal worst and best moments.
Excellent topic Mark. I've read some of the books by Hitler's secretaries (Linge, Mich, Junge) and I agree that there seems to be so much loyalty to Hitler that even the thought of the Soviets having his remains would be enough to make sure their remains were never found. Kudos!
Dr. Mark Felton is one of the best historians of our time. His objective, fact based approach, and excellent delivery keeps me engaged and wanting more. Please keep up the great work!!
He was scared what would happen to his body especially what happened to the dictator in Italy and he planned it right good conclusion for him ! IT’s takes you to come with the probable truth. Excellent videos Mark👏👏👏
What an incredible series! Just mind blowing! As a writer of detective fiction I really appreciate the logic and superb investigative approach. Thank you so much! I wish the series could be longer 😊
Thank you Mark Felton for your commentaries that are of the highest order. Your skills ensure that the topics that you speak of are clearly understood. Also, I like your presentation style which is entertainingly factual. Well done sir. Without doubt you are a natural communicator.
I think you came pretty close Mr Felton , because why would they allow Hitlers burned body found, they would burned it then hide it, not leave it out in the open for the Russians to find that would defeat the whole purpose of destroying it , great job Mark I really found this series very interesting
I stumbled on this series by accident. I've read a number of books about Hitler and Eva's death and cremation. I also watched a series about " Finding Hitler ". Mark Felton is the only one that made sense. I came to the conclusion about H&B a few years ago. His theory makes sense. Hiler's orders were not for his body to fall into the hands of the Soviets. I believe it was carried out successfully. His and Eva was probably burned as all the witnesses confirmed, but they were buried elsewhere. End of story. Thank you Mr. Felton.
Thank you Dr. Felton for such detailed forensic examination of this mystery. You always amaze me with the amount of research you’ve put in to any of your documentaries.
All very plausable - and excellent research as always. At the heart of this is Bormann, a man cunning and loyal enough to make sure the Soviets wouldn't find the corpses, as well as ensure his own escape to South America.
That was incredible. From start to finish, as a very keen amateur history buff, I can say that is one of the best documentaries on this subject I've ever seen in over 43 years. I salute you my friend. Every episode was quality. Unbiased and all facts.
A fantastic summation of the loose ends of what happened to Eva and Adolph's corpses. I like him calling the Rus investigators ' the bumbling soviets ' . Really sums them up.
I took that line to refer to the Germans' estimation of the Soviets, not his own. I understand the point being that the investigators - SMERSH and NKVD - did honest, competent jobs but their findings were overruled by political considerations.
@@michaelmagnus9 Exactly. The doctor's autopsy reports are pretty clear that the remains didn't match what was known, and the field investigators knew but couldn't prove that some of the witnesses were lying (most of those left in the bunker at the end were the 'true believers', thus would have their own reasons for hiding any possible fraud), but the 'apparatchiks' who wrote the final reports knew well enough to tell Stalin what he wanted to hear. It's the same thing you see in almost any bureaucracy - the CARE principle at work.
It’s safe to say that Hitler is not living on the moon, at a secret Nazi base. And for that, I can be sure of. Lol. And again thank you Dr. Felton for an incredible series about Adolf Hitler. You never fail in giving us all a master class of critical thinking. Huzzah
Finest documentary on the subject I have ever seen. I am astounded by Dr Felton's objectivity and reserve. Would that we all would look at our world so carefully...
What an amazing series this has been. Im glad I've been away from the channel for a while so I could watch the 6 episodes as I please. It's been fascinating to watch and I would say one of your best productions to date, you have outdone yourself this time Mark!
This makes a whole lot more sense than anything that has been posited in the past ! Thanks again for an excellent breakdown of the facts and a sound theory as to what actually happened.
Very hard to put into words how amazing all this new information, research and just trying to put this mysterious puzzle to something that makes any sense, except we have Professor Felton. It will certainly re-write the history books. Thank you Professor Felton !! What a series !!
Ah, more excellent stuff from Mark Felton. Always well researched, gripping, novel and memorable and the analysis of this fascinating case made more credible by the attendant humility- he's not claiming to have the answers to what happened to Mr & Mrs Hitler, only compelling, unanswered questions. Thanks for all your hard work.
Love the video! Please make a series on rudolf hess's Scotland flight. The bizarre isolation of his imprisonment until death and the churchhill papers. Perhaps speculate on the contents and consequent reasoning on them still not being declassified today
Excellent vid as always! Impeccable research followed by a rational and convincing analysis! One should never forget that Hitler knew about the humiliating spectacle made of the bodies of Mussolini and his mistress after they had been executed by Italian partisans. At all costs, he wanted to deny the Russians the same satisfaction. It appears this was his last, minor victory against his enemies. Not all that significant in the grand scheme of things, but we are still talking about this mystery so many years later...
That was an amazing series. Thank you for your professional work. Presentation was clear and precise, all the details presented understandle for everybody. A+
This has been the most incredible series. Absolutely fantastic research by Dr. Felton. I wish that the history channel here in the states produced shows as fantastic as your videos sir.
This has been an intriguing series. You should consider developing it into a larger work, perhaps in book form. Your story stands the traditional narrative on its ear, so I would want to see citations throughout. One thing we definitely agree upon: There's no way Hitler could have escaped, especially without his entourage. The idea of a decrepit, disoriented amphetamine addict sneaking his way past the Red Army on the ground as well as Allied air & sea personnel guarding all escape routes is a bit hard to believe.
I have to say I was a huge fan of the conspiracy theory Hitler escaping to Argentina, but after watching this, there’s not doubt my mind has changed. Mark Felton brings absolute clarity through his methodical research being a historian. I really enjoyed this series. Wish there were more episodes
My Mind has Changed also as your's Did. Too bad a End to a Brilliant Man. Who if he'd listened to his General's Advice they could of Won The East FIRST not Europa No body would of helped the Filthyest Russian's to Win
Another strike against the Hitler to Argentina theory is where would he work? Eichman and other Nazis in hiding had the reputation for being arrogant, Hitler would have taken the entitlement to another extreme.
Linge's statement has always held water for me. So, the evidence is compelling enough to point towards his version of what happened as being closer to the truth rather than anything else. Thanks Mark, for putting it all together.
Thank you, Dr, Felton for this wonderful series. I have never heard it confirmed anywhere before now that the bodies found by the Soviets were definitely not Braun or Hitler. Great research and reporting!!!
Another great addition to this already fascinating series Mark. 👍 Unfortunately, it appears that increasingly nowadays people would rather believe in convoluted conspiracy theories because its more interesting and appealing rather than accept the FACTS no matter how dull or unglamourous they me be. Keep up the great work mate.
Until now, the 'fact' has been that Hitler killed himself and was found by the Soviets. A quick look around the web and TH-cam would prove this is the 'settled science's. As Felton here is himself presenting a conspiracy theory, I would not be so quick to smugly dismiss it. People like you uncritically accepting what authorities tell you is why Felton had to make this video in the first place.
Probably because if they told the truth you would have a bunch of people digging up the place around the bunker site looking for the remains and the place would look like a circus with discovery channel/history channel running all over the area.
Pretty much Dr. Felton rendered irrelevant that portion of Cornelius Ryan's history with the "real facts on Hitler's death". After watching this video, it makes me want to rent a metal detector, shovel and go hunting for where the bodies are hidden. Excellent video Dr. FELTON!!
As an historian in my younger years I find your channel excellent. I never studied the 2wws and now find it thrilling and horrific. There is a lot of contradiction as there will always be. I enjoy and find your channel the best I have watched. Thank you.
A follow up episode about the possible common grave that was used would be intriguing. I guess all bodies were re-buried, and unidentified ones probably did not travel too far to their new rest-place, or maybe cremations were made?
I think no grave, since Hitler gave orders against any bodies remaining and the SS in any case would not risk them being found. Enough time was available. Scattered and hidden ashes, yes.
Dr Felton just a thought, but with Halloween coming up have you considered a video about ‘ghost’ sightings of WW2 leaders eg Churchill and Roosevelt? Just a thought. Thanks for the videos and all the best 👍🇬🇧

Considering this is a topic strewn with nonsense and ridiculous speculation, I appreciate Dr. Felton's rational reporting of the historical information and his rational theories where information is scarce or contested.
The series HUNTING HITLER just contains too much paper trail from American secret service agencies to discount the possiblity that Hitler was taken by Uboat to Argentina. This needs further research. @brian2u590
I completely agree
I think my comments in the main column are blocked so I will just toss my thoughts here. Felton still evades the proven and known fact that Hitler's doctor drove him unstable. In this case the main bit of evidence is missed. The witness said he saw Hitler with his head smashed. This tells us one thing. His head was opened to remove the dental bridge work immediately following the death. This means the forensic deception with the switched bodies was planned NOT a sudden decision made when these brilliant planners realized the bodies were not burning. The pair are as one inner circle member stated. They are in a common grave nearby. They remain near to the center of power, waiting for their spirits to be summoned again.
@brian2u590Hitler had plenty of time, dead bodies, and help to plan his escape. The wealthiest man in Europe had easy options.
@brian2u590 well said! with Berlin an inferno, thousands dying and the Red Army storming the Reichstag , it was hardly a time to be looking for Eva's false teeth.
This series has got to be your finest work in a long history of excellent scholarship, Felton. It’s a pity there isn’t an award category for TH-cam content creation, because I feel this series is Oscar/Emmy/Golden Globe worthy. Well done!!
As a former medical examiner, I had come to the same conclusion as you and outlined it in the comments section of your last video in this series. It certainly makes the most sense based on the evidence available.
My grandfather lost a leg in the fight for the bunker. He was basically there for the last fight. He was convinced until his death about 25 years ago that Hitler escaped with others on a plane that left before the use of the emergency airstrip was impossible.
However, he was a tanker and not inner circle (but I think consolidated under Waffen SS at the last minute), and a fellow soldier took off his black tanker uniform and insignia as warrant officer after he could not move from the shattered leg because either one would have gotten him killed by the Russians approaching: Either being an officer or having a black uniform - because there were only 2 types of black uniforms: SS and tankers. But by the time Russians come close, they didn't check insignias; they just shot everyone with a black uniform.
He was cared for for 2 years until his stump fully healed - Antibiotics were still an American military secret and leaving the hospital without proper care could have killed him. This way, he also avoided Siberia. He didn't know if his family was still alive and they didn't know if he was. They lived in East Prussia and all that was gone. So, he went to his parents-in-law, and found his wife and 2 older kids well and alive, and had 2 more - one of them my mother.
Glad your grandfather survived, minus part of a leg. My grandfather escaped the Soviet Union before WW2, taking a bullet. He, navigator on a Russian ship, saw all his shipmates murdered by the communists. He survived due to him being a navigator. As for Hitler, I have read a lot about WW2, and continue to read about that period of time, now working on the Russian Revolution. I think, believe, assume Hitler did escape. One author on most things Nazi, firmly believes Hitler got out of Berlin and made it safely to Argentina. It's sad some people, like Felton, can't wrap their heads around that fact.
Amazing how many of us have relatives who were involved in WW2, or even the Russian Revolution.
@@bondgabebond4907 I've always been open to the idea of him having escaped to Argentina. I don't buy the argument that he wouldn't have left his entourage behind, they would have been a liability for him in his escape and new life. Also the fate of Bormann is not 100% certain. The last 2 ''inner circle'' survivors of the Bunker who testified to his death were Traudl Junge and Rochus Misch and both were loyal to him so would have said anything to cover his tracks.
@@bondgabebond4907evidence doesn't support Hitler escaping. Are you oblivious to how poor his wealth was?
@@Stable_Genius No, generally the evidence doesn't support his escaping, but it is possible. The thing that appears to be most unlikely nevertheless can be exactly what did happen. It can't be ruled out, even if very unlikely.
@@simonh6371 You make good points there, and about Bormann you are right and what you say about his entourage is what I thought also. It is possible. Having experience in cases in criminal law I have learned the thing that is first scoffed at and bears the brunt of derision and ruled out as ridiculous can turn out to be exactly what did happen. For ore thing, new evidence often comes to light. I have learned ( the hard way ) to keep an open mind - always.
Excellent series, I didn't want it to end. Many Thanks.
It can not end until he addresses known facts that include the 1998 CBS video showing the Hitler double found in Berlin that had most obviously died from cyanide. Or the complete “manifesto” that Hitler had dictated is shown in its entirety and then commentated on, a simple “Oh it was unapologetic and hateful “ isn’t enough.
What Dr Felton calls "his little theory" is the most sensible, balanced and credible I've heard on this most muddled piece of WW2 history.
Congratulations on this espetacular series.
...how ironic is that a man who strived for an everlasting glory during his lifetime, ultimately gained it in his death by barely managing to have a proper anonymous burial. Unknown burial that ultimately created a everlasting myth.
Mr. Felton thank you for this mini series. Truly a masterful production...:D
So they cheated the Allies of their ultimate trophy and were literally buried among their people. A charming end to the story and I believe it.
Good Point. There are not too many "infamous/Famous people of the last 100 years that wouldnt miss that name on the list
@@wadehampton1737a somewhat more poetic end than old Benito got
@@harmlesscreationsofthegree1248Otto Skorzeny is so lucky he wasn't executed, imo.
Excellent documentary : you're stating alot of things I came to a conclusion a while ago on. Berlin was far too much of a cauldron for many/any top officials to make it out, let alone to another country.
There however was well more than enough manpower and preparations to hide Hitler and Eva's bodies well enough the soviets wouldn't find them. How many died defending Berlin? How many thousands of bodies were charred beyond recognition that were burried in mass graves for expediency? That is much, much more easily accomplished with the two largest armies in world history bearing down on you
Why bother hiding the bodies in the first place, though?
What mattered to Hitler and his entourage was that the bodies would not be desecrated publicly by the Soviets. Which is why the SS burned the bodies.
But once this was done and the remains had become little more than a few bone fragments and ashes, there was little more that the Soviets could've done to desecrate the corps anyway.
All this cloak-and-dagger body-swapping under heavy Russian artillery fire is frankly quite ridiculous.
@@francesco245 If the bodies are not properly burned, which what happened to Goebbels' body, then there was incentive to hide the corpses.
Makes more sense than other theories
@@francesco245 You cannot burn bodies down to ash in an open hole filled with petrol, think of a crematorium and all it entails to cremate a body. The doubles were put in place a long time before the Soviets got there. Open your mind and your brain will follow.
If we believe the post-mortem reports, someone wanted it to be believed that the two bodies had been poisoned with cyanide - and this was not the case. Perhaps to conceal the real Hitler/Braun to deny them to the Soviets, or perhaps to conceal the real cause of death. Perhaps it wasn’t suicide at all. Only speculation remains but - logically - it probably has to be one of those two reasons.
The most awaited video on youtube in years!! What ever happened, Ive always believed Hitler and his loyal followers would NEVER have allowed himself to be taken by the Russians, dead or alive. The abject distain and contempt for the Russians they had meant avoiding this was their entire #1 priority. Best trustworthy reporting on the topic, I hhave ever listened to.
Brilliant. With the other five in the series almost 2 hours of fascinating and painstaking analysis. Better than almost all of the "history" programmes produced on television these days. Thank you Dr Felton.
I’ve really been enjoying your videos, Dr. Felton. As a Hungarian, I’d love to see you tackle the siege of Budapest as I feel it is criminally underreported while being one of the bloodiest battles of the European theater. Keep up the good work!
Mark getting to the bottom of one of the most important questions in History makes me proud to be his subscriber.
Well done, mate. It's truly a proud day for you.
The theory that their corpses were buried somewhere unknown and never found makes perfect sense.
The valet said (17:10) that they were in the "park of the Chancellery", in a mass grave. But he didn't say which part. In theory, one could go dig up the whole grounds of the Chancellery looking for DNA, but I suspect no one will want to spend that much time and money looking for a needle in a haystack.
@@MyFiddlePlayer it's also unlikely in the extreme the German government would allow that kind of archeological investigation regarding Hitler.
Yes, perfect sense. Hitler didn't want his corpse violated after seeing what had happened to Mussolini. He didn't want to "be an exhibit in the Moscow Zoo". He took his own life to deny the Allies the victory of capturing him or (most likely) killing him, and ordered his valet and other aides to burn Eva Braun's and his own body, then bury them in the garden of the Reich Chancellory.
@@MyFiddlePlayer Not to mention disturbing the grave. Although, perhaps with today's DNA technology, those other remains could be identified and given individual burial. Having said that, I don't know what the scope of such a project would be. How big a mass grave is it?
Yes perfect sense if you’re a potato.
All Mark’s objections to Hitler having escaped to Argentina are superficial, shallow and go against Logic and reasonable deductions of Hitler’s personality. There are witnesses and photographs of Hitler in Argentina, as were shown in this video. Yet some people refuse to see, what’s as plain as the nose on their face, bc their emotions blind them to reality.
They don’t want to believe that Hitler got away with everything that he did, bc that affronts their presuppositions and sense of Ultimate Justice.
How could Karma or God, or whatever controls the Universe, allow that to happen? Is what their subconscious mind is telling them. So they’re willing to bend all the known facts and distort the possibilities and plausibilities, to fit their own ulterior agenda and all to pander, to their false sense of security, as a child clings to their blankie, against all logical reasons to put it down.
Watch the documentary film Greywolf to see the Truth for yourself.
Mark, your video productions are of the highest quality. Clearly written script accompanied by well-sourced visual media. Your channel ranks top on my list. Thank you!
At first when I was watching the prior episodes I was trying to wrap my head around why the soviets would be lying about the autopsy results. Now hearing it all the way to the end and what likely happened where they were never found does in-fact make perfect sense and after all these years I have changed what I think happened. Absolutely fascinating! Thank you Mark!
Why would soviets lie? Soviets always lied, even today's Russia inherited that kind of behaviour. It's just who they are.
I think, my personal theory, was Stalin wanted Hitlers body so bad to be able to display it in Moscow as a propaganda trophy that those given the assignment to bring the body back to Moscow even if they knew it wasn't Hitlers had but little choice but to say it was his. After all, if you failed Stalin, you Died, period. Thats enough motivation to forge evidence.
Why is mark making me feel like I’m involved in the official investigation for this case. These videos are so good
Due diligence of an expert historian. The most possible/plausible explanation to come to light.
Wild to think he is probably still buried somewhere around the Chancellery.
It will make visiting Berlin even more interesting
Unless the Communist East Germans found two skeletons whilst digging and blowing up the Fuhrerbunker area.
I think that's the best version of the true series of events we'll ever get. If so, it means his and Braun's remains elided both the Soviets and the GDR.
More importantly where was the poisoned German shepherd 🐕 buried ???
@@asullivan4047that was already discovered by the soviet's, it's mentioned in this video
A well researched, well narrated and riveting documentary series. Probably your best work to date. Thank you Mark!
Not well researched on this one matter! 1998 CBS NEWS America showed video of the dead Hitler double!
What an awesome, intriguing and captivating series that presents this fascinating story in a clear , convincing and plausible manner. Yet another superb production from Mark Felton who has truly set the standard for this type of historical documentary.
Mark, I think your theory is spot on. This is what I had always thought happened to Hitler and Eva's bodies. I wish I could have asked my friends Otto Gunche and Rochus Misch who I got to know and became friends with in the early 90's. Both of them were firm in their belief that Hitler did kill himself along with Eva Braun and both heard the shot that Hitler used his pistol to shoot himself and Gunche was the first person to open the door and see Hitler and Eva dead on the couch. Misch watched as both bodies were carried out of the bunker. Gunche carried one end of Hitler and Linge carried the other end. Both of them went back into the bunker to continue destroying documents of Hitlers. I think this is where Rattenheuber and the others may have made the switch and buried the bodies in another location on the bunker complex.
I believe this also. They're burring Them somewhere else .and fakes the other Bodies close to the Bunker. Hitler Was not interested get him found or his Bodie. Same Eva . The Dogs found next there make them believe . this was Hitler . So they're stop search around the Bunker. I believe the Corps Of Hitler and Eva are still somewhere there . He did not run Like Chicken , He was for real. Its so much Conspiracy and They have to say Stalin good news ,other wise they went to Gulag for sure . Leave Them alone .
I have a problem with Misch and Gunche reports, they are not credible persons , Hitler could simply persuated the Inner circle to confirm that he was dead, couldnt he ?
I think the only reason Mark Felton doesn't believe Hitler had escaped to Argentina was the strange silence of the whole world on the subject after ww2. No one, even the Soviet and the Jew wanted to investigate further and stayed away from it as if they feared something.
@on-our-radar it can be tested through DNA we have if alive 3 great nephews, the body location of his nephew , we can find hitlers sister body if burried after war in uk , if any of hitlers bones remain
Why is Mark a reliable source for approaching an important and intriguing historical mystery? Because if there is no final solution to the riddle, he will just say so! Thank you, Mark.
That wording
@@eviltigeruk9754 That incomprehensible comment.
Poor choice of words but I get the sentiment. I think.
"final solution" might not be the best choice of words, but I get your meaning.
Not see the pun you created? It’s not reich, anne frankly it’s infuhreriating.
I was waiting for the creepy tune at the end and I got it. Amazing work Dr. Felton!
Good to see him using proper British terms like "buggered off".
That's probably why you tube pulled the video the first time, such language!
very offensive term.
Yes! The idea of Hitler "buggering off" anywhere is hilarious to me! I can just imagine Churchill saying he was going to bugger off somewhere. Didn't he once say he had to keep "buggering on"?

I used that term for the first time in I don't know how long just the other day. My mother was a "War Bride" from England, and I was raised with such colourful terms.
That theory of the body switching and they having been buried elsewhere seems to me the most plausible! Fantastic series! Thanks for this!
What ever became of the poisoned German shepherd 🐕??? Was it taxidermed???
@@asullivan4047 If the dog was fully intact, I can imagine Stalin doing something like that, just to have it as a trophy. I'd suggest it probably wasn't in particularly good shape after the Soviets did their autopsy on it. Mind you, if I ever make it to the Kremlin, I will be looking around to see if there is a stuffed Alsatian sitting in a corner somewhere.
@@asullivan404719:37 Mentions right at this point what the fate of both Hitler's and Braun's dogs were. Used to lend further authenticity to the fraud.
Bravo, Mark! Your programs are always entertaining and informative, but this series "Find the Fuehrer" is simply outstanding. It was captivating, like a true crime drama, yet it is factual. This and the Himmler series should win you several awards. Cheers!
A unmarked grave. He would definitely not wanted any of his remains as trophies.
I am strangely fascinated by Heinz Linge, the valet.
(1) The Sovjet prison really took a toll on him. In the photo at 15:56 he looks reasonable healthy. The photo at 16:04 - probably taken during captivity -shows a broken old man. There are less than 10 years between these 2 photos.
After his release he seems to have recovered. He looks much better in the interview at 16:45 (but note that he was only 42 years old at the time of this interview).
(2) His English in the interview at 16:45 is really good. Surprisingly good, really, considering his background. I looked up his CV: He received only basic education and was a brick layer before joining the SS Leibstandarte (Hitler's body guard unit).
Pretty good English for a bricklayer. (The current German foreign minister's English is worse, if you ask me).
He basically looks 60 in 1955, whatever the soviets did it aged him like it does presidents
Linge was closer to Hitler than anyone, perhaps even more so than Eva Braun. That's the fascination.😮
The SS-men were the real elite and today's German "leaders" are the embodiment of "negative selection"...
I'm right with you!😊
If you ever need to know anything real about anyone, always find the valet. They know their employer better than anyone. They see them in their personal worst and best moments.
Like others have said, it is amazing that you, just one man, could put this whole series together. These are amazing
Although he's read a few books on it, that's where all the proper work was done, it's amazing for YT history yes.
It's not Felton' own work, 99 percent was written by Trevor Roper in his book 'doppelganger'.
Excellent topic Mark. I've read some of the books by Hitler's secretaries (Linge, Mich, Junge) and I agree that there seems to be so much loyalty to Hitler that even the thought of the Soviets having his remains would be enough to make sure their remains were never found. Kudos!
Dr. Mark Felton is one of the best historians of our time. His objective, fact based approach, and excellent delivery keeps me engaged and wanting more. Please keep up the great work!!
He was scared what would happen to his body especially what happened to the dictator in Italy and he planned it right good conclusion for him !
IT’s takes you to come with the probable truth. Excellent videos Mark👏👏👏
Best report ever. My late dad (major) would have been so proud of the evidence presented here. Brilliant work and dedication. Thanks so much. 💯
Truly amazed by this topic and corresponding videos. Agree with Dr. Felton's conclusion.
What an incredible series! Just mind blowing! As a writer of detective fiction I really appreciate the logic and superb investigative approach. Thank you so much! I wish the series could be longer 😊
Thank you Mark Felton for your commentaries that are of the highest order. Your skills ensure that the topics that you speak of are clearly understood. Also, I like your presentation style which is entertainingly factual. Well done sir. Without doubt you are a natural communicator.
I think you came pretty close Mr Felton , because why would they allow Hitlers burned body found, they would burned it then hide it, not leave it out in the open for the Russians to find that would defeat the whole purpose of destroying it , great job Mark I really found this series very interesting
I stumbled on this series by accident. I've read a number of books about Hitler and Eva's death and cremation. I also watched a series about " Finding Hitler ". Mark Felton is the only one that made sense. I came to the conclusion about H&B a few years ago. His theory makes sense. Hiler's orders were not for his body to fall into the hands of the Soviets. I believe it was carried out successfully. His and Eva was probably burned as all the witnesses confirmed, but they were buried elsewhere. End of story. Thank you Mr. Felton.
The dramatic musical accents were a great touch throughout the series! This was quite fascinating! Thanks for putting it together!
Thank you Dr. Felton for a fascinating story and for all the research you put into it.
Thank you Dr. Felton for such detailed forensic examination of this mystery. You always amaze me with the amount of research you’ve put in to any of your documentaries.
A great series Mark! Im sure its alot of hard work to produce these, so thank you.
All very plausable - and excellent research as always. At the heart of this is Bormann, a man cunning and loyal enough to make sure the Soviets wouldn't find the corpses, as well as ensure his own escape to South America.
I’ve watched the whole series now and I seriously feel like I have a much greater understanding of the events. Thank you mark
Sheer genius this is. There is no other comparable or credible documentary. I cannot believe my eyes or ears. Fantastic.
Now we need a camp visit to where the common grave would be! Awesome job Dr. Felton.
Without a doubt one of the best series by Dr Felton, alongside the multi-part Himmler and Goring videos.
That was incredible. From start to finish, as a very keen amateur history buff, I can say that is one of the best documentaries on this subject I've ever seen in over 43 years. I salute you my friend. Every episode was quality. Unbiased and all facts.
A fantastic summation of the loose ends of what happened to Eva and Adolph's corpses. I like him calling the Rus investigators ' the bumbling soviets ' . Really sums them up.
Yep. Too much vodka.
I took that line to refer to the Germans' estimation of the Soviets, not his own. I understand the point being that the investigators - SMERSH and NKVD - did honest, competent jobs but their findings were overruled by political considerations.
The Soviet investigators just told Stalin what he wanted to hear which is understandable otherwise they would had a one way trip to Siberia 😊
@@jetta5267 More like not wanting to upset Stalin, for fear of being shot or re-assigned to a weather station in Siberia.
@@michaelmagnus9 Exactly. The doctor's autopsy reports are pretty clear that the remains didn't match what was known, and the field investigators knew but couldn't prove that some of the witnesses were lying (most of those left in the bunker at the end were the 'true believers', thus would have their own reasons for hiding any possible fraud), but the 'apparatchiks' who wrote the final reports knew well enough to tell Stalin what he wanted to hear. It's the same thing you see in almost any bureaucracy - the CARE principle at work.
It’s safe to say that Hitler is not living on the moon,
at a secret Nazi base. And for that, I can be sure of. Lol. And again thank you Dr. Felton for an incredible series about Adolf Hitler. You never fail in giving us all a master class of critical thinking. Huzzah
I've been to the moon, no NAZI bases, just alien ones.
One of the biggest education problems here in the US is the dumbing down and lack of critical thinking. Somehow they seem to go together.

Excellent work by Mark Felton in addressing an incredibly complex historical mystery.
What a great series on a subject most people thought closed, excellent work.
Finest documentary on the subject I have ever seen. I am astounded by Dr Felton's objectivity and reserve. Would that we all would look at our world so carefully...
What an amazing series this has been. Im glad I've been away from the channel for a while so I could watch the 6 episodes as I please. It's been fascinating to watch and I would say one of your best productions to date, you have outdone yourself this time Mark!
An excellent mini-series, bringing all the available evidence together with rational and measured analyses.
This makes a whole lot more sense than anything that has been posited in the past ! Thanks again for an excellent breakdown of the facts and a sound theory as to what actually happened.
Very hard to put into words how amazing all this new information, research and just trying to put this mysterious puzzle to something that makes any sense, except we have Professor Felton. It will certainly re-write the history books. Thank you Professor Felton !! What a series !!
Ah, more excellent stuff from Mark Felton. Always well researched, gripping, novel and memorable and the analysis of this fascinating case made more credible by the attendant humility- he's not claiming to have the answers to what happened to Mr & Mrs Hitler, only compelling, unanswered questions. Thanks for all your hard work.
He bascially died in the bunker just like it's always been said, his body was just not found for obvious reasons.
Thank you so much for sharing this. The series has been incredible. Really appreciate you sharing this with us all. You're the best Dr. Felton!!!
Your conclusion is what I came to after the first episode in the series lol! You're the best mark! Love your stuff ♥️
This is one of the most interesting intriguing and addicting series I’ve ever seen!! Thank you Mark ❤
This was as sensible and well-researched an explanation as any that I've heard before. Thank you, Mark.
Love the video! Please make a series on rudolf hess's Scotland flight. The bizarre isolation of his imprisonment until death and the churchhill papers. Perhaps speculate on the contents and consequent reasoning on them still not being declassified today
Can't get enough... thank you Dr. Felton for the history lessons.
Dr Felton is outstanding historian, succinct details, and captures one’s interest and attention.
Excellent vid as always! Impeccable research followed by a rational and convincing analysis! One should never forget that Hitler knew about the humiliating spectacle made of the bodies of Mussolini and his mistress after they had been executed by Italian partisans. At all costs, he wanted to deny the Russians the same satisfaction. It appears this was his last, minor victory against his enemies. Not all that significant in the grand scheme of things, but we are still talking about this mystery so many years later...
Fantastic series, Mark. I think it makes a lot of sense the actual bodies were never found and the corpses that were discovered were heavily doctored.
I appreciate Felton's voice. His enunciation and clarity makes it easy to listen to. It is also authoritative and convincing.
Been checking daily for this series - absolutely fantastic work Dr Felton
That was an amazing series. Thank you for your professional work. Presentation was clear and precise, all the details presented understandle for everybody. A+
This has been the most incredible series. Absolutely fantastic research by Dr. Felton. I wish that the history channel here in the states produced shows as fantastic as your videos sir.
Do you mean the "History" Channel? 😂
This has been an intriguing series. You should consider developing it into a larger work, perhaps in book form. Your story stands the traditional narrative on its ear, so I would want to see citations throughout. One thing we definitely agree upon: There's no way Hitler could have escaped, especially without his entourage. The idea of a decrepit, disoriented amphetamine addict sneaking his way past the Red Army on the ground as well as Allied air & sea personnel guarding all escape routes is a bit hard to believe.
Never discount the incompetence of Soviets
well, there is always the interesting story of the secret underground tunnel connection!
I have to say I was a huge fan of the conspiracy theory Hitler escaping to Argentina, but after watching this, there’s not doubt my mind has changed. Mark Felton brings absolute clarity through his methodical research being a historian. I really enjoyed this series. Wish there were more episodes
I'm of a similar mindset as yourself
My Mind has Changed also as your's Did. Too bad a End to a Brilliant Man. Who if he'd listened to his General's Advice they could of Won The East FIRST not Europa No body would of helped the Filthyest Russian's to Win
Hitler's health was so bad by the end of the war, him escaping was the least reasonable explanation.
Oh please. Any escape never made any sense. Hunting Hitler was just plain nitpicking.
Another strike against the Hitler to Argentina theory is where would he work? Eichman and other Nazis in hiding had the reputation for being arrogant, Hitler would have taken the entitlement to another extreme.
Mark, thank you so much for your meticulous and thorough investigation and for sharing it in such an interesting and entertaining way. Gratitude!
A fine series on a mysterious subject, gifted to us by Dr Felton. I salute you for your excellent investigation work Sir!
Holy giddity doc, you just rewrote what I've believed for the last 60 years! Top job investigator. Thank you.
Linge's statement has always held water for me. So, the evidence is compelling enough to point towards his version of what happened as being closer to the truth rather than anything else. Thanks Mark, for putting it all together.
Linge told the truth the very best analysis and evaluation of a historical enigma superb thank you Mark
Thank you, Dr, Felton for this wonderful series. I have never heard it confirmed anywhere before now that the bodies found by the Soviets were definitely not Braun or Hitler. Great research and reporting!!!
Mark Felton understood the assignment.
You have such a clear and authoritative voice and your German pronunciation is spot-on.
Another great addition to this already fascinating series Mark. 👍
Unfortunately, it appears that increasingly nowadays people would rather believe in convoluted conspiracy theories because its more interesting and appealing rather than accept the FACTS no matter how dull or unglamourous they me be. Keep up the great work mate.
Until now, the 'fact' has been that Hitler killed himself and was found by the Soviets. A quick look around the web and TH-cam would prove this is the 'settled science's. As Felton here is himself presenting a conspiracy theory, I would not be so quick to smugly dismiss it. People like you uncritically accepting what authorities tell you is why Felton had to make this video in the first place.
Fact is always stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.
Probably because if they told the truth you would have a bunch of people digging up the place around the bunker site looking for the remains and the place would look like a circus with discovery channel/history channel running all over the area.
This is the best history channel on the internet. It makes my university history classes seem so inadequate.
Pretty much Dr. Felton rendered irrelevant that portion of Cornelius Ryan's history with the "real facts on Hitler's death". After watching this video, it makes me want to rent a metal detector, shovel and go hunting for where the bodies are hidden. Excellent video Dr. FELTON!!
There are people who are trying to recover unidentified remains from the war. Perhaps you could convince them to help you?
I doubt a metal detector would find bones.
@SalisburyKarateClub agreed but the metal detector may or may not pick up the bullet fragments inside what's left of his skull when he shot himself.
This series has been fascinating. I agree with your opinion about the bodies being buried elsewhere. It makes perfect sense.
As an historian in my younger years I find your channel excellent. I never studied the 2wws and now find it thrilling and horrific. There is a lot of contradiction as there will always be. I enjoy and find your channel the best I have watched. Thank you.
A follow up episode about the possible common grave that was used would be intriguing. I guess all bodies were re-buried, and unidentified ones probably did not travel too far to their new rest-place, or maybe cremations were made?
I think no grave, since Hitler gave orders against any bodies remaining and the SS in any case would not risk them being found. Enough time was available. Scattered and hidden ashes, yes.
Agreed! What happened to the corpses buried in what I assume were MANY common graves after the war?
Cant wait for another one! Best history teacher!
This is by far the most precise and detailed analysis to this puzzling subject ... Well done indeed 👍
Dr Felton just a thought, but with Halloween coming up have you considered a video about ‘ghost’ sightings of WW2 leaders eg Churchill and Roosevelt?
Just a thought.
Thanks for the videos and all the best 👍🇬🇧
Yes!
