I just recently learned that my brother in law was a prison guard at Spandau prison and his only prisoner was Rudolph Hess, I had no clue till 2 weeks ago.
On a similar note I was on a guided tour of the Tower of London back in 2013. The Yeoman guiding us, ( I believe they are all ex Warrant Officers - Sergeant Majors), stated that he was present during a British rotation of managing Spandau and guarding Hess that in his opinion Hess was an unrepentant N*zi right up until his death.
@@NihilisticHatred Why? Hess died in 1987 so his brother in law could be in his fifties or sixties now, depending on the time period he was a guard there.
We all remember the scene in the movie A Bridge Too Far in which the boy Dutch underground spy managed to spot General Walter Model’s standard on Model’s car at Arnhem, tipping off the Allies about Model’s presence at Arnhem ahead of Operation Market Garden.

If someone has a coat of arms in the UK (granted by the College of Arms in London, or by the Lord Lyon King of Arms in Scotland), they can fly a personal banner, which is the coat of arms (the design on the shield) in flag form.

It would be interesting to know who did design them.

Great video! I like the way you explain historical events and anecdotes. Have you ever considered talking about "If Day" in which the Canadian government simulated an invasion and occupation of the city of Winnipeg by Nazis in 1942?
Ridiculous propaganda exercise to build pro-war sentiment. None of the Axis powers were any threat whatsoever to the North American continent. I blame that stupid work of *fiction* that popularized the concept. People somehow got the idea it was real.

Mr. Felton, Thanks for being such an avid producer of these historical world War II mini documentaries. You'll have a future with students years from now that will watch these videos and learn how it was then.
I go to TH-cam.....I see a new Mark Felton video.....I click......knowing that it it will be A) extremely well researched, B) very well and clearly presented, C) highly interesting and D) something different, off the beaten path, something filled with all kinds of info I've not seen elsewhere. What an outstanding and valuable service this guy does for all of us - thank you Dr. Felton.
3:37 Goering's Gold Plated Walther PPK is in a museum called 'Historic Attractions' in Roscoe, Illinois. It also has Himmler's Silver Plated PPK, along with loads of historic automobiles and relics throughout time. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area
I remember one time I was tasked with driving a General. I dropped him off on the parade square and picked him up when he was done and he told me , take me to the airport fast, as we drove his pennant flew off the car and I asked , your pennant sir? He replied to get it on the way back, I can't miss that plane. I picked it up on the way back.
Sick how you even have to blurr the image in order to keep your video from being banned by YT. What a time we live in, where corporations want to rewrite the history.

TH-cam censorship on sensitive issues is insane. Sad to see content creators self-censoring too.
I find most of these standards very much lacking style... Some of these guys competed in how many gilded eagles and swastikas they could cram into one ensign... what a joke.
In medieval times, only leaders of the battles were allowed standards (usually nobles). Knights were only allowed pennants (unless they were the leaders).
The Mark Felton Personal Standard would have to be a representation of a very dry martini, symbolic of his fun but dry wit. This would be centred on a combination grey and white background. The grey would represent both brain tissue, symbolic of his great intelligence, and his slightly dark sense of humour. The white being symbolic of the enjoyment, knowledge, and enlightenment, he brings his audience. Thank you, Mark.
What amazes me, is that most of your fans have an inability to connect recent history to the present day. They are fascinated by your historical analysis, but it ends there. I too, enjoy your videos, but I can't help but draw parallels to the political realities of the contemporary world. The same, but different. Thanks Mark.
side note, good friend her last name is Bormann. BOTH her parents, mom and dad, both served in WWII. Her mother was a driver in North Africa and is very proud of getting a compliment from Patton...on her salute. Dad would tell stories about flights over Europe for bombing. As children we were just "Oh whatever" and today I treasure the few stories I did take the time to listen to!
The Freemason Zionist allied leaders, their financial masters behind the curtain, preferred to hide it from the totally clueless common folk. So, they would look more like the people they were fooling, using as cannon fodder, to protect them, their masters lavish lifestyles. Still very much alive, thriving, and behind all wars (depopulation agenda), yet today!
Nice. In the mid 1970's my neighbor who was a young Marine at Camp Pendleton was assigned to a VIP Marine who was visiting. He had an emblem on his car. A special flag that was raised on the base while he was there. When he left the flag was left behind and my Marine neighbor kept it. I bought it from him. Red with four white stars. A stamp that said property of USMC. Turns out there is only one four star general of the USMC. Its Commander. I sold it for a modest sum to a Marine collector at the Great Western Gun and Militaria Show that use to be held in Pomona, Califonria.
3:12 I didn't understand the Scotland holiday joke so I looked it up: Appointed Deputy Führer to Adolf Hitler in 1933, Hess held that position until 1941, when he flew solo to Scotland in an attempt to negotiate the United Kingdom's exit from the Second World War. He was taken prisoner and eventually convicted of crimes against peace. He was still serving his life sentence at the time of his suicide in 1987.
Peace in 1940 made a good deal of sense, and Germany was offering a good deal. Churchill, then as now bloodthirsty and wanting nothing but war, would not have it. Allying to destroy the real threat to Europe, the USSR, was the right move for both sides. Germany's real crime was shaking itself free of the control of the banks of the City of London(different from London the city). Remember: all wars are bankers' wars. That's why he was held and never allowed to communicate, nobody must know about the offer because it would make too much sense and the history books would have to be rewritten. Even today we're not allowed to know what Hess said.
You are probably the only TH-camr I watch where I like the video as soon as it starts because I know it’s going to be worth a like. I am usually pretty stingy with likes
As much you’re correct about Heydrich’s, the Reichsprotektor actually had a different flag. And the only time the Heydrich’s flag was hung at occasions like the Opera, was so that one could know where the Reichsprotektor’s box was. If you go back to early photographs of Heydrich, you never saw the flag until he became Reichsprotektor. Also Kaltenbrunner’s was actually a modification of Himmler’s. By the time he was appointed Head of RSHA in 1943, he (Kaltenbrunner) was promised by Himmler that he would be released of the duties just before the war’s end. He never cared much for the position because he didn’t want it to begin with.
My son was a Sergeant in the Marine corps working in the Pentagon when they were attacked on 9/11. He was a liaison officer for the joint chiefs of staff and suffers to this day with survivors guilt PTSD. 😢 Thanks Mark for all you do! ❤
I’m grateful for your son’s service. But I know PTSD personally, though I earned mine in a different type of battle. Battling PYSD is a long war, both painful and difficult. I thing I learned through time is to keep on marching. Day by day.” She was a WWII Japanese war bride, so I knew exactly what she was saying. I cherish he memory, and her wisdom. I hope you son has such people in his life. They help you to look forward at life and take it “day by day”. Please tell your son a big hug is sent by an old gal who knows what it is like.
7:36 Every time I see this photo of Kaltenbrunner, I notice he's wearing the closed collar jacket but open to show his collared shirt with necktie instead of the variant with lapels like Himmler's.
Hitler and Göring had creative flair, I'll give them that. The others are very simple. Himmler's choice is eerie, but seems to fit him. No gold or red, just black and white.
Little side note, until the signing of the human rights act, in 1998, it was still actually punishable by death by beheading to use the monarchs personal standard within your own.
"Rudolf Hess' one way one way holiday... " Nice one, Mark.
Yep, Hess had free accommodation for the rest of his life. Only the room service sucked.
Hess landed only a few kilometres from where I live.
@@dougieranger That is great. Living so close to history.
I am guessing Hess lost the deposit on the airplane he rented for that flight and the late return fees for never returning it must have been massive!😂
