Lately the intro music has been playing in my head no matter where I am or what I'm doing lol
I saw that someone posted a hour-long loop of that music to TH-cam. th-cam.com/video/q_APrgdH5gM/w-d-xo.html Just in case you need more, it's out there. ;-) That music reminds me of some of the music in the game Return to Castle Wolfenstein from many years ago. Like this one: th-cam.com/video/001gd_2XhgU/w-d-xo.html and this one: th-cam.com/video/2a2I0RBri5g/w-d-xo.html
I thought I was the only one...sometimes going into work...que the intro = )
Sometimes it just hits me and I can’t shake it off for a good while. I don’t mind.
I wonder if mark had a posted a new video today? Each time too
@@marka.200 sounds more like Commandos :)
Thanks, Mark, The "Rat Line" story is one of the most complicated in postwar Germany, and it must have taken a long time to bring it to us. I'm looking forward to the other videos in the series.
It is to be devoutly wished that the accusations of the Catholic "Rat Liners" are thoroughly, factually verified with incontrovertible evidence.
No doubt assistance was given to expedite their escape, but solid evidence is needed to support which group(s),were responsible.
Are You Two finding it hard to accept that The Catholic Church helped the Nazi’s ?
They did help the Nazi’s escape justice……..,don’t hide behind “more evidence needed”……accept it & move on.
Mark Felton you are really doing amazing historic research, really kudos for you. Love to watch all kind of random known and lessen known stories about our history.
Nobody gives the in depth history like Mark!! I have learned things I never knew!! Love this channel!!! Thank you Mark.
Awsome show. The long audio is great, I could listen for hours.
AUDIO IS EXCELLENT
Good job 👍👍 love it😊😊
Excellent, crystal clear audio, awesome narration, outstanding English. Bravo.
Indeed, many were shipped to western countries too.
Cause these experienced war veterans-criminals Nazis, would serve well the incoming Cold War.
I have. Stupendous work.
Thank you Mark! These ratline episodes are really interesting giving real insight into the complex lines formed to get wanted Nazi war criminals out of Germany. I am setting today aside to listen to the remaining two episodes. Your research must of been absolutely exhaustive from the information you have given. Your professional standing as a reputable historian gives these episodes and your video channel even more credence.
You should make a video on this channel or your other channel about the SS who joined the French Foreign legion.
That would indeed be interesting ! The Legion has a German tradition as it was formed around a German mercenary regiment by Louis XIV, if I remember correctly (I stand corrected, though). They still sing German marching songs (pre WW1) until today.
Good call. Marks research is very detailed and tenacious' I'm addicted to his channel.

@@jenniereist1076 who is mike felton?
Thank you for not ruining your videos with too many ads
This was fascinating. Thank you very much for sharing this knowledge, Mr. Felton.
You are very welcome
This was superb, even superior to Episode 1, and contained many elements of which I was ignorant - such as the US giving immunity to Japanese war criminals running human experiments too.
@@leary4 Which journalist?
Everything bad about the Catholic church from 1 person? Do not the hundreds of child raping priests and cover-ups?
@@Invictus888 Dr Felton is a credentialed and published historian. Where do you think Wikipedia gets its information from, thin air? There are references to Primary Sources which are an historian’s bread and butter. His work is majestic in scope and scale.
@@Invictus888 As soon as anyone uses the phrase, “seriously suggesting,” you know they’re about to state something you’d never remotely meant or implied. 🤷🏻♂️
To be fair we did vaporize 2 cities full of women and children. Understandable wed let a few of their war criminals off the hook
@@senderoverland At least both those cities arguably had strategic value (weapons fabrication and military bases) unlike, say, Dresden, which while being a very ideologically committed city was basically just near an important railhead.

From Brisbane and love this channel..
I have been absent from school for over a year now due to my health, Thank you Mr Felton for helping me to learn something new almost every day.
hang tough and get better soon!
Here’s to hoping you are back to 100% soon, if you aren’t already as this comment is eleven months old.
Mark, I love the straight forward way you identify the heinous behaviors by the perpetrators and, more unseemly, the support given Nazi war criminals to get away from justice. The Banality of Evil is shared by both the perpetrators and the enablers.
These Nazis would make good Democrats today.
It mind blowing to know that this information is and was available before the internet. At 37 years old, I don't remember how I survived before the internet.
Chilling and educational. My wife is from Brazil and I'm from America, and we both reckon our respective governments have done some really shady things in regards to providing cover for Nazi fugitives and war criminals. Looking forward to watching the rest of this riveting series!
I'm here for intro music 😆😆
Yeah that intro music is getting legendary
Yeah me too
Particular thanks for these.episodes, Dr. Felton.
Mr. Felton thank you so much for your channel the amount of research and work demonstrates in the quality of your subjects, a generation has grown up without factual knowledge of these crimes best of luck.
I have acute non-pathiological insomnia and sleep only 2-3 hours per night. I believe given his video output Dr. Felton is the only man who sleeps less :)
me too, they call it the thatcher gene, trump has it as well. my whole family has this damn mutation.
@@tlk0216 My doctor mentioned Trump at my diagnosis as having it. But if it doesn't cause cancer or heart disease I'm cool with it.
@@mattblom3990 Lol. I get 2-3 hours as well.
@@acbulgin2 I pursued medical treatment and analysis for it because I made myself panic because all these news articles said if you got less than 8 hours of sleep per day it was incredibly unhealthy and would lead to an early death. I call it insomnia just because people keep referring to it as so to me.
Most of these bastards never went to prison just joined NATO instead met loads of them in 1964 none of them
I was hanging it for this second episode. Great story. Such a soothing voice I could lay there listening to you tell stories all day
Keep them coming! My favorite channel.. thanks Mark Felton
Another home run, Dr. Felton!
Thank you Mark for what I believe to be your landmark programme on the post-war era. Seventy-five years on, people need to be reminded of not just the atrocities committed during the Shoah, but as you say the duplicity of the allies, other certain countries and the Vatican to allow these people to escape justice. In the end, one might realize that the dogmas, beliefs and attitudes towards Jews in the political landscape in 2020 have but little evolved since 1945. This is a great piece of a true historian's work and you should be commended for it. The truth needs to be told.
It's great to have new Mark Felton waiting when I get off work
I read a lot of this along time ago but it's good to listen to it and see how much I remember.
I wish mark would release these as a podcast. It would be great to listen to these stories during my commute
This was an excellent production, many thanks Mark
Politics and religions are two scary elements. Accordingly, one can turn heroes to cowards and visa versa while the other one can turn evils to saint and visa versa. Very scary to see how many people got killed by politician and religion officials world wide.Thank you Mr. Felton for sharing your knowledge!
Religion has killed no one. Religion built society and gave you this perspective.
@@emperorconstantinexipalaio4121are you kidding me
@@thescatologistcopromancer3936 I’m being deadass.
Love this channel finally some real truth history keep it coming THANK YOU Mark.
I listen tho these episodes when trying to fall a sleep and i must say ur work is truly amazing and i will donate soon!
Even things about the most evil a mark Felton stories and posts are always well received and enjoyable thank you mark 👍
@Ordinary Sessel If those people were experimented on without their informed consent, that is, they were forced to participate against their will, then it's wrong. People have a right to their own lives and no one should be coerced. Or if you disagree, then don't complain if you're the subject of some medical experiment that you don't agree to.

Don’t forget the Quaker Oats experiment on Mentally Ill or rejected Children, that tricked them into eating radioactive meals.
don't forget that JFK's father Joseph had JFK's sister undergo a prefrontal lobotomy
exceptional research Mark, well done
Excellent as always, excellent!
Mark Felton is a treasure This will all live on for education in the future for those still willing to be educated
Waiting to see what is in the Vatican's private files...
@blackzed they cant stop all of us. Charge the vatican archives XD
ImperialistRunningDo no doubt it will prove most of the accusations as bullshit. Just like the Inquisition accusations.
@@drjanitor3747 And the Borgia accusations and the paedophile accusations and the mafia connection accusations.
Don't forget all the catholics that also helped jews escape.
Richard M you wish.
The maker of that Argentinian jet would be Kurt Tank, the designer of the FW 190
Ironic since one would want a jet to be light, but a Tank is super heavy. LoL!
Jeffrey Flathers a FW 190 is a plane not a tank..
RedGames it was a joke about his name I think
The Rat Line series is beyond incredible. Thank you for your research and dedication. People like Goring were awful people. However, they were boy scouts compared to Rauff and Mengele. They were the worst
🎼Don’t cry for me, Argentina....🎶
🎶Its just a witch hunt....and we're all witcheeeeeees🎶
I have just started listening to these war stories and I love them.
You are a great narrator. I go to sleep listening to your war stories almost every night
Mr Felton... Im a big fan, probably watched all your videos
Wonderful video Dr. Felton.
When a video about the origen of the Swiss Banks golds. Thanks a lot
I really appreciate all the work you've done on ww2. Its great work and easily recommended.
This series is the best I’ve seen or read about this period.
Another great episode. I remember hearing about communities of nazis in Paraguay.

Thank you so much for downloding👍 It is so true , never to forgive and forget!!
I'm going to watch "The ODESSA File"now.....,
Kelly's heroes is also a good one to watch
I watched a video on here that claimed Hitler escaped to South America. In it, it was stated, that people investigating that were threatened by THE GESTAPO....
I liked the movie. the book is a little better, in my opinion. Highly recommend reading the book as well as seeing the movie.
You Sir once again with your brilliant narrative presented us with a view of the past that cannot be forgotten. All of the aspects. Thank you again.
I wonder if there are any modern interviews of some of the men that escaped to south america. 10000 is quite a lot I imagine most aren't big enough names to be hunted anyway. A first hand account of the rat lines would be interesting.
Into That Darkness by Gitta Sereny is worth a read
Edward D is that first hand?
Why would they run so far if not worth hunting ¿?
@@ORaddlyispissedoff Sereny interviewed Stangl just before he died. Gitta Sereny has some interesting short youtube clips
I'm loving these Audios Mark fantastic as all you work is thank you.
Fantastic series Mark, great work as always
Thank you Dr Felton. Your vast research and clear presentation together make for rivetting WW11 history; and for me your video and audio channels alone make TH-cam indispensable.
Oops I am American and Catholic and all our daughters went to the Space camp in Huntsville, Alabama: yikes sometimes our history is rather embarrassing. You learn from history indeed!
Thanks again for a very insightful episode, still a proud American and Catholic but not without some regretful past.
You might be an American but your no Catholic.
What are you going to tell your god when he asks why you followed mans laws that go against his while completely ignoring his laws and commandments?
Why call yourself a Christian if your just going to live a secular life?
I bet you also go to church and pray, probably don’t know why that’s a bad thing either.
There is simply no one else I’m aware of that has the depth of knowledge and evident scrutiny your presentations display. They are very enlightening and in some ways quite troubling to see the commitment to evil and heartlessness present in so many minds. Thank you for you commitment to excellence.
I agree...very fascinating, but have you fact checked his work? Don't believe everything you heat.

See Uki Goñi’s “The Real Odessa” for details on escaping Nazis. Fun fact: KLM’s most profitable postwar route was Lisbon to Rio.
Not really surprising given that Brazil is a former Portuguese colony.
Yes, and Buenos Ares! And "our" Prince Bernhard, prince from the Netherlands, who was a Nazi, was THE ONE who asked the president of KLM to fly as many Nazi refugees to those country's as possible!!😡😡😡
@@tingtong8781 - some people haven’t a clue mate
Amazing audio, very informative on a topic not talked about much. Big fan!
"I wanna go to the Barbie Museum!"
>Get's to museum
"Klaus Barbie. Sometimes known as the, "Butcher of Lyon." This museum is lovingly dedicated to the Klaus Barbie, nobody knows."
+5 internet points to the first to name that movie.
Rat Race!
Completely off-topic, but there actually was a reverse situation like this. Many years ago, when I still went to school, I did some research about Klaus Barbie... after clicking through about 5 google result pages, I found the profile of one of my teachers (First name was Klaus) on an obscure (likely fetish) photo website where his profile -name was KlausBarbie... turned out that guy had a Barbie fetish.
@@dangerjoe8911 That is amazing.
@@Quadrenaro Not as amazing as the quickness of your answer. That was unexpected.
@@dangerjoe8911 I'm on a road trip, youtube comments are one of my only social lifelines at the moment.
Dr Felton this was superb. Thank you so much
The Vatican's role in this is repulsive.
And America? How repulsive were they or was it okay because they got a man on the moon. That's not meant in a confrontation way. So many have bloody hands
I listen to this channel so much it’s always on my feed. I didn’t even realize till just now I hadn’t subscribed.
Well done! I'm hoping for a detailed documentary on the Vatican's involvement at some point in the future.
This is important it should be exposed
Hehe, things began to "hot up". Excellent video as always. I like the war stories while working around the house
Very informative! I had a good friend who was in the oss that told me that he was in France when it was liberated and his job was to get as many Nazis scientists to the USA as fast as he could to beat the Russians from doing the same! He was aided by the fact that in the us the scientists knew they would be treated and live well! Where as in Russia the opposite was true! He told me of French justice where French German collaborators were forced to dig their own graves ! Many atrocities we're comitited during the war and afterwards! Most people do not relize that the world we live in today and the inventions we injoyand use today are in large part because of the Nazis you talk about! Werner von Braun was a high profile top Nazi official very close to Hitler who used slave labor to do his work and hid from the Russians untill he could surrender to the us who whisked him and his onteroge to the US to develop the space program ! Sadly every country involved in ww2 has blood of some kind on their hands! It can be argued that the US was responsible for the deaths of many Germans at the end of the war by allowing the Russians to take Berlin! It was known at the time most would have surrendered to the US forces instead of fighting to the death against the Soviet Union forces! They knew that was a better fate than surrendering to the Russians! You are doing a great service for mankind bringing out the truth about the Nazis war criminals Dr Felton! Enjoy your lectures imensely! Looking forward to hearing the next one!
Their intelligence as a whole made their versatile brutality the more puzzling.
My God Mark Felton is a humanity’s hero!!! ❤❤
It's long been known that the Vatican helped nazis escape due to its support for fascism, that the allies helped war criminals escape justice in exchange for their knowledge of rockets etc. There was no distaste in using knowledge gained by torture, murder etc.
Countries do not have friends, but allies of convenience. That's how the USA could supply weapons to Saddam Hussain for years and then invade Iraq so easily, once he became a liability. It's why the USA charged the UK for ships and other military equipment during WW2. There was no feeling of helping democracy, it was a business opportunity. The special relationship is empty words and only a naive person, American or British, believes otherwise.
As Lord Palmerston said "We have no eternal allies, we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow." He, as British PM, was speaking over a hundred years ago but those words apply today and to any country.
very well said
My government in Canada is taking some responsibility for the wrongs inflicted upon First Nations peoples. It seems folks once thought that removing happy, well-adjusted kids from their parents and handing them over to angry, damaged priests and nuns, with zero oversight, was a good idea. The Vatican, with its enormous wealth, has done very little and they receive almost no negative press for their behaviour. The residential schools' unmarked graves of First Nations children in their charge are still being discovered.
@@AlsatiagentNothing was found. Literally nothing. Our churches were burnt because you found the burial site of Catholics at a Catholic Church.
No it didn’t. There was no organized Catholic doctrine to support Nazis and fascists. The ratlines were originally establishing to help refugees. Individual church officials in cohorts with the Nazis then took advantage of this.
Mr. Mark Felton, I have never heard in my whole life a better Narrator than you are! Excellent Job. I'm very surprised you can restrain your emotions in explaining these people and their mental and physical atrocities to our fellow human beings...
My first lenghty comment regarding this episode got deleted by YT.That happens to so many people it seems these days,and the reason I honestly do not know.But anyway,in it I tried to explain the crucial role of the province of South Tyrol,after WW 1 becoming a part of Italy,with its population of ethnic Germans hoping with Hitler in power they would become part of Austria again ; but since Hitler had other priorities it remained by Italy.The population however was strongly encouraged to migrate to Germany,and many did.This resulted after WW 2 in the majority of them returning to South Tyrol,hence to Italy,which was by that time considered to be an ally.So there was like ZERO ALLIED CONTROL there.Thus,many war criminals crossed the Brenner with false documents stating they were South Tyrolians returning.After arrival they were helped by the Catholic Church and the local civil authorities,most of them still in the same functions they had before the war was ended.
Yeah that area of Italy still has many Germanic traits
This is a topic I always wanted you to cover, I wish there was video and still images but it’s still good.
Outstanding
Great job with all of the audio and video series Mark. Thank you!
For such a serious topic, your description of "independent communist republics", was a distinct point of hilarity. Thanks for the laugh.
My favorite history channel on TH-cam thanks for your beautiful mind always looking forward never disappointed !!!!
Role of Gladio in connection with Odessa, the CIA, Catholic church and co as a proactive, clandestine organisation that rooted out communists during the cold war in Europe, mainly in Italy, France and Germany? Btw, thanks from Australia Mark for your profoundly well-researched and informative presentations.
Another one!!!! These are some of my fav works of Mr Felton.... so good
I say that Dr Felton and Annie Jacobsen join forces and solve Odessa once and for all. I have complete confidence !
Very much enjoying this format, it shines with your typical top-shelf standards, Dr Felton 👍
Thank you once again for posting another very informative episode.
This is very informative and you learn a lot but would have loved to have had more information on who was caught and who managed to avoid capture
Try looking up the Simon Wiesenthal center for some more info maybe ?
Right before bed Dr Mark Felton comes out with another episode
BBC Intrigue podcast has a great series on this subject featuring Phillipe Sands QC.
Operation Paperclip by Annie Jacobsen also looks like a fascinating investigation; not yet read it myself.
It’s a good listen…

Episode 3 should be amazing. Looking forward to it.
Why is this valuable and highly controversial information about the roles of ex nazi ss war criminals, not taught in mainstream education .
Loving this audio content as much as the videos, and would really enjoy having them as podcasts if possible!
Maybe one day!
Kinda creepy how so many of these evil organisations still probably exist.
yes? And many more have been created after them. Most of them legally
Yes, now they are using coronavirus and vaccines.

Incredible stuff. Thanks Mark.
Hi Mark, are you thinking of doing these as actual podcasts as well? I would love to be able to listen on the go.
Where have I been????, I've just discovered Mr Feltons other channel....well I'm hooked☺☺☺☺
Always remember nobody ever escapes the great judgement of the last day (Hebrews 9:27) Very informative all the same Mr Felton, full marks
excellent research presented in clear audio.
Mark, have you ever considered puting your audiobooks on Spotify?
Great in-depth analysis.
I’m very interested in the history of the space race, and have done a little bit of research into the activities of the Von Braun team during the war. Obviously they used slave (concentration camp) labour, but I haven’t seen anything about utilising human testing within the rocket program. Is there a way to see some of the references you used to research this section of your programs? (Naturally I have faith you carried out good research, I would just like to read into it a bit more)
They done Tests at Auschwitz on Prisoners to do with Pressure putting them in Chambers and turning the pressure up slowly for Pilots they also tested on Prisoners in freezing water to see how long Pilots would last in the Sea, I dare say they done other tests but idk enough about it? ✌️
i love the longer formats . :)
Outdid yourself, doc. THAT is saying something. Thank you for posting.
Brilliant!!! Keep up the great work!!! Can't wait for the next episode!!! 👍🏻
Swiss and redcross in it too
@Top Hat Pat vice versa
But the red templars cross in numerous nations flags should be concerning .
All the awards with the oak leaves, etc..
The genoan/Swiss/Vatican connection was a new piece for me today
Where did those pesky banking Knights Templar go after the 13th anyway?
Where do you think all the illegally seized monies and artifacts are kept (besides the Vatican)!! The Swiss are anything BUT a neutral, philanthropic entity.
In the book "unholy trinity" the author said that the streets of Zurich are paved with the gold of those enslaved and MURDED by the Third Reich. Eva Peroin smuggled out millions for Nazi war Criminals. Millions of dollars went to America all the proceeds of slave labour and death via Banks not one penny paid in reparation. It still being used to this day. Rat lines by Mr Sands QC. and Unholy Trinity.
its ofshore and wallsstreets now, I've no doubt that every coin is laundered.
@@canadianmmaguy7511 They went to Scotland and started the Scottish rite.
I love the Rat Line stories, but I do miss seeing different photos during the telling.
Last vid and the start of this one: "pfft, fucking Vatican."
A 3rd of the way through this one: "......are we the baddies?"
I always thought Paperclip was just us swiping some harmless rocket scientists. This has been eye opening (like all of Mark's vids).
You should read up on Japanese Unit 731. Not a single one of them was put on trial after the war, and one of them even went on to be a professor. We only put people on trial who couldn't help us, as more of a political stunt. If someone could help us, they were quietly helped.
Harmless? Von Braun was a war criminal for a start. Great program :)
@@WhatTheFlagnought the Japanese were shameful. I agree, it should be spoken more.
@@WhatTheFlagnought I'd known of Unit 731 but I didn't realize we did a sort of Oriental Paperclip with them. Fascinating. It's wild how the Cold War subsumed quite literally everything. It's almost like many high ranking people in the Anglosphere felt we had defeated the wrong enemy in 1945. And I say that as someone who leans heavily to the right, not as a leftist. Very interesting period.
Always informative, thank you.
