Great post! I thought that your voice was AI. Great to see you’re human. Problem is I didn’t realize how old you were. I thought you were in your twenties.
It's a nice twist that you have finally appeared in your own videos, even for a few seconds. Great channel, keep up the good work and thanks for your service.

Great to put a face to the voice! Keep up the good work, quickly becoming one of my top channels, your videos are a great length so I can almost always watch them in full as soon as they pop up and the frequency is great.
I was stationed in Berlin when the wall came down. Everytime they dug they had bomb disposal e o.d. on hand also forensic for bodies. I remember when the quad at the barracks collapsed and they found WW2 bunkers underground.
I've been watching you for 2 years repeat the same shows over and over again... It's about time you came out of the woodwork and did something different... You get two thumbs up and an approval for this 👍👍
@@TheUntoldPastunfortunately there is only so much history and it’s hard to keep something that is set in stone always fresh . Your videos are well researched 👍👍.
I am happy to see you in person for the first time. All along it has always been your captivating voice that rent the air. Were you gave us a perspective of the events of the second world war.
i was posted to Berlin 88-90. There was a no digging in rule in Berlin, meaning you couldn't dig trenches. The Grunewald forest was littered with dead bodies and unexploded ordnance
@@TheUntoldPast There was an RAF airfield there called RAF Gatow. During the war the soviets fought hard for it from the luftwaffe. There was a massive explosion a few years ago at a collection point in the forest for the unexploded ordnance. Historians tend to concentrate on the fighting in the city center rather than the fight to the city center
Great job with this video! I find it helps me retain more information when i can see someone's face speaking to me. Like im in class 😅 Love from Western Australia! 🇦🇺
Thanks for your kind words Sheila! It is, filmed two more already, more to film tomorrow! (Need to buy some different coloured shirts and invest in some more ties!)
My great-uncle Walter Reckermann went missing in Berlin and was never found again. He was flown into the Berlin Pocket on his 18th birthday. His plane was one of the last to land. His home in Dortmund had already been liberated by then. He was a naval student and had no modern weapons or combat training. He was last seen near the Reich Chancellery or the Ministry of Finance.
Hi Mark. Your videos have always been fascinating even with the repeated footage and dates in your recordings. My generation did not study World War II at school although we were told of the origins and the consequences. The battles themselves are often misrepresented on film and television in order to create revenue. Listening to your honest reconstruction of the perpetrators and the victims reminds me of the duty of historians to be objective and impartial of these terrible events that we still live with. The generational trauma for the Germans and their victims is tremendous and your simple recounting of the events and the consequences reminds me always that there are no winners in conflict. Yes ultimately the Allied Powers prevailed but the fall out was 50 odd years of occupation and further trauma for Eastern Europe. We in the West had to struggle but reconstruction was available through American support while the East suffered years of deprivation and totalitarianism. Orwell’s “1984” was drilled into us at school but in fact it was more ironic than that. The Cold War was a denial of either system being inferior. The fall of the Berlin Wall was a symbol of a new liberalism. Long may it continue. I shudder when I see the destruction of WWII. Lest We Forget. Thanks again. Keep up the good work and God bless you for telling these stories for another generation for whom otherwise would be ignorant of the rise of fascism in all its ugliness.
Wow, this is definitely a twist for sure because it's great to see the man behind the voice!! I hope that you do more videos like this because I think that it would be really awesome!! The fact that the UK flag was on display made me a bit emotional because of the simple fact that some of my heritage comes from that part of the world. I'm so happy that I'm subscribed to this channel and that I've learned a lot from it so far. Thank you for helping me learn about the Tyburn Tree/Gallows, Operation Barbarossa, and so much more. This channel is so worth watching on a regular basis - especially if I binge watch it!!
Thanks for your kind words. Lots more coming up Joan! I'm filming some more on camera videos today, and I will be releasing a new video in this manner at 6pm tonight.
A great video, Thank you. A very informative video, you're making history come alive. One can only guess how Berlin looked in the final days of WW2, videos, like yours, tells a bit of the dead's story so we dont forget what lies beneath the ground of Berlin. Greetings from CPH.
Thanks for this. If you visit Berlin, a visit to the Berliner Unterwelten is worthwhile. Air raid shelters adjacent to the U Bahn. They have a number of artefacts (weapons mainly) turned up when any work is done. Often remains are found. Germans tend to be identified if they have ID tags etc. Red Army tended to have paper ID which hasn’t survived. Nearby is the Humboldt flak tower. I remember not being impressed particularly by the height, till our unterwelten guide told us that the mound surrounding it is rubble, making it seem half its height. Berlin was almost all flat ground until 1945. Any elevated ground is war damaged rubble. Around Unten Den Linden, the Reichstag etc almost any pre 1945 building exhibits war damage.
Nice to see a Face to the voice. Now I know youre a Human, not like I had any doubts but, its nice to see that in fact you are a real person. The AI on this platform is out of control. Cheers.
it's amazing that a war that did so much to desensitize people to gruesome sights brought about so many well meaning if not very well enforced changes, at least in the legal sense, in how we view human rights.
You are a national treasure sir! Your ability to use two adjectives to describe things, murder and execution, rotting and decomposing etc, have become something that I appreciate now as a style, long my you continue, I salute you, yume a goodun!
so devastating. We talk a lot about the battle but the cleanup lasted so much longer. And being that so many bodies are still unrecovered, in some ways it hasn't ended.
Thanks. Fascinating video covering a topic rarely discussed in polite conversation. It seems that what you are really saying is that the city of Berlin is actually one big mass graveyard.
We were on the wrong side, the Russians slaughtered over 1/3rd of a million civilians for no other reason than vengeance. Most were sexually violated before putting them out of their misery they were real animals which is an insult to animals really. 3:51
A lot of what we were told after the war about the Germans were simply not true in the Olympics jessy Owens said he was treated like a super star by the German public and hitler himself praised him for his sports abilities and said he definitely deserved to win gold 🎖
No AI here, never has been either. It's always been me. Time to come on camera and turn a faceless into something different and special. Thanks for watching.
Funny how on a recent video people were claiming ur voice was ai and now we see you 🤣 coulda sworn weve seen u on camera before when u were going thru a dungeon or something like that.
Echoing comments of other viewers….it is good to place a face to the voice….I never thought you were AI generated. Keep up the good work, now let me view the video as well. Zoltan (from Dubrovnik)
Well, the Germans wanted 'Total War.' When 'Total War' was being inflicted on others, they cheered. But when total war came to them, oh how they complained and whined about how terrible total war was. Too late. You wanted total war - you got it.
That’s why you have to think for yourself and challenge any so called authority. Look at how they all run to the foot of the balcony with the salute. That’s authoritarian put you in your place by force
All this happened just cause an art institution was too arrogant to accept a Austrian artist into their school. His artwork of sceneries wasn't bad at all.
This is a lot better and far more professional than the time I felt that you were too intrusive in the video. You seem to have got this right, including the map as your background. The sound was good, too. I think it’s fine to allow viewers to see you narrate initially, but then return to the videos showing the subject matter being discussed with perhaps your voice continuing over the video shots. But I would take the big flag away as it’s a bit distracting - you could use smaller flags on your desk of all the allies perhaps, including the US, the old Canadian flag, Australia, etc.
I lived in Berlin in the early eighties as a US Soldier. We were an army of occupation. I received the US Army Occupation medal. I visited a few German cemeteries. We must remember the words: Do not mess with Abraham. In the Old Testament of the Bible ( aka the Hebrew Bible), it says that those who bless Abraham will be blessed, and those who curse Abraham will be cursed in that all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
Great content and presentation overall including your voice it sits well with the content, but how ever I think you can do much better with both the channels name and the channels icon you use both are very lame and let the channel down they should be improved to match the overall good content !!!
