- The fate of Hitler is one of the most infamous subjects in history - but the investigation of the nation that was best placed to find out, the USSR, is often ignored or dismissed in the West. This series examines what the Soviets found, both at the bunker and Reich Chancellery, and also the medical examination of the purported bodies of Hitler and Eva Braun. Kept secret until 1968, the Soviet files reveal many strange anomalies that challenge the established story of the ultimate fates of Hitler and his wife.
In this episode, the strange medical anomalies on the body identified as Eva Braun.

The best WWII channel. He does not do a dry narration of historical events but at the same time he does research and reveals unknown aspects of history.
For tale yeah absolutely...
Nah. Some of his videos are straight BS
Debatable
This video in particular must have required a great deal of research.
I get it, fans, he's dreamy.
I am not sure many people here understand the consequences of these findings. Very competent medical specialists are saying that the female corpse is not Evas. I'm looking forward to the next episode with even greater anticipation. Thanks, Professor.
I don't see how people could fail to comprehend the consequences. It's about all but spelled out. It's just not presented like super-hype blow your mind, evil dictator and his wife escaped. Which is great. Wish real tv would try the same approach.
The word “competent” and “Soviet” have never been used in the same sentence before. Take all their ‘evidence’ with a grain of salt.
I think everybody watching here understand the consequences of these findings very well indeed.
*Eva's
There were people in the bunker who would have done ANYTHING to save AH. The witness statements tend to concur that AH and his wife committed suicide together. But how many of them actually came in contact with the corpses after that happened? Not that many; and only a few survived the war to be interrogated. I think Hitler’s valet was the only one that actually dealt with the bodies. Hannah Reitsch and R. von Greim flew out on the 28th. Some bunker personnel escaped 4 days after that. It’s not impossible that AH and his wife made a similar journey. He had the resources and time to plan for it.
It's fascinating how murky a period of history that is still (barely) in living memory is. Makes me realize how vague our understanding of earlier periods must be!
Barely is right. A late night comedy show took to the streets in 2016 asking college kids who they'd vote for instead of Trump. 9 out of 12 said Hitler
After thorough study over decades I have determined that the vast majority of the historical record is disinformation and propaganda 🤯 just like the daily news
Wow! I did Nazi that coming!@@TyDomi
@@TyDomithat’s because we are the most propagandized people in Human history.
They have a literal propaganda machine in everyones pocket. You either tow the line or lose your access to all social media.
It's often based heavily on few and biased sources. It's interesting when archeological evidence surfaces to prove some of those historical accounts accurate, like with Richard III.
As a medical doctor, I must once again not only admire your knowledge of History, good Doctor, but also your spelling and describing medical facts and infos. As a history lover/amateur, I once again salute you. Thank you.
And this has relevance to what?
@Americanpatriot-zo2tk and what value does your comment add?
The OP is expressing gratitude and being positive you absolute melt!
@@Americanpatriot-zo2tk🤡
If you are a real "medical doctor" and the owner of this channel is some kind of "history expert" I guess that makes me an expert in next generation space travel and nuclear physics... 😮💨.
@@Thex-W.I.T.C.H.-xMasteryou have something to say?
Those ante-mortem shrapnel injuries are very problematic. Along with the height discrepancy, the cyanide anomalies, and the dental questions, this casts very serious doubt on this identification!
Captivating video, Dr. Felton.
They were literally crumbling, its more than definetely their corpses, his dental records prove that.
He is dead. Sorry. My grandfather's were the American unit in there. Not in the pics. I have always found this obsession strange. These events are usually more banal than the Hollywood versions. The Soviets were their usual reserved selves, got in, did the job, took very little, and them left.
The Soviets letting him live would be the bigger mind job IMO.
And people forget about Nazi Doctrine, that if he would have lived, been considered a failure. They would have buried him anyways and started over. There wasn't any wiggle room left.
@@Nylon_riotPeople like sensationalism. Probably Eva Braun didn't just take cyanide before she died, she wanted to finish the job quickly by shooting herself in the heart because she was too uncomfortable to breathe. But witnesses did not realize this because of the dark color of her dress and the shock of the event. I have read in detail from American sources that many witnesses said that the bodies were cremated for hours (around 4 to 10 p.m.) A body cremated for such a long time, of course, does not stay the same size, it is against the laws of nature. And a lot of body evidence was burned with them, so it is normal to have some conflicting identifications.
If they hadn't committed suicide, they wouldn't have done something stupid like getting married before fleeing, they would have done it in a place where they would have been safer. If Hitler had not committed suicide, he would not have been stupid enough to leave his peaceful place in Berghoff and go to Berlin surrounded by Soviet soldiers.
Of course he's dead, born 1888. Pity about the stains on that lounge..nice tapestry.
Mrs Goebbels photographed well,...pretty face hiding 5 kinds of crazy..
Stalin promoted the conspiracy to keep the war and his land grab going. We all know America quickly wanted the pacific war over to stop Stalin's grab and when the war ended, the ussr and it's new empire was born.
Dr Felton does it again. More information in 20 minutes than you'll find anywhere else. No sensationalism, just pure facts and analysis.
Really?
And you know all this to be "pure facts" for what reason, again?
@@frontenac5083 he describes the sources of the facts he uses in his videos. if you have different facts, why don't you present them here?

Wow. Just wow. I had never heard these details and nor can I now accept that body was Eva’s. I can’t wait to hear the conclusion of this series. Thanks, Dr. Felton!
It's new to me too, and I've read more than a few books about WW2.
I've always thought Hitler and Eva probably killed themselves in the bunker, but the guards lied and led the soviets to the wrong bodies. They were 100% loyal to Hitler, still had the capabilities to fully cremate a body, and/or to move the bodies more than a couple feet from the bunker emergency exit. Hitler likely had what to do with his body planned out before his suicide. I doubt the plan was a half assed cremation and dump it two feet from the exit.
@@sillypuppy5940Well of course most just rinse and repeat information or allied propaganda.
@@patrickmunneke8348the propaganda is on both Allies and Axis. And both stated facts. Sifting through is what researchers do.

All hail, the great Shovel!
What is your point.? They burned right there
Hail the shovel of history!
Ahh the mighty russian shovel is british ???😱
I am a long-time viewer of this channel and I have to admit that this is one of Dr. Felton's best videos. I was so in awe that I gladly followed the invitation and made a paypal donation. Fantastic work like this can't be done for free.
Fact that Gobel and his entire family were killed in the same way as Hitler and Eva died makes me think that the generally accepted version of Hitler's demise is true. They would've most likely followed any exit path their leader have chosen.
Absolutely!
@user-wj6dt5bq3wunless he didn't know himself.
The internal bleeding prior to death, is close to a smoking gun; that it was not Eva Braun. If all the other bunker occupant's stories are correct, then it can't be her. Fascinating story.

Mark Felton productions is the true History Channel.
This series is approaching that depth...
Not that “reality TV” nonsense.
History Channel has ET's stories. It is a joke.
Mark Felton’s history tour on World War 2 is simply the best on TH-cam. Every single video is well researched, well explained and informative. There is no other channel that could compete, I certainly haven’t found one. My favourite channel by far.
FELTON IS AWESOME IN HIS OWN DOMAIN. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO MILITARY ASPECT OF WW2 "TIK HISTORY" 'S 40PLUS HOURS DOCUMENTARY ON STALINGRAD, WITH MAPS GOING DOWN TO BATTALION AND EVEN COMPANY LEVEL IS UNBEATABLE. AND "WW2" CHANNEL WITH IT'S WEEKLY REPORTS, NOW ALREADY COVERING A FEW HUNDRED HOURS, WITH 24 HOUR LONG D DAY SPECIAL ALONE, IS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE WW2 NOT ONLY DOCUMENTARY, BUT WORK IN GENERAL EVER MADE. BASED OF WHAT YOU SAID I GUESS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THEM. FELTON IS BETTER AT STORY TELLING THOUGH AND PICKS THE MOST CONTRAVERSIAL SUBJECTS.
I take your findings over the standard story. Thank you Dr. Felton.
When Mark Felton gives you facts about a subject, he really gives you fact, great information
The education continues. The fascination continues. The learning continues. Thank you once again for your hard work and your commitment to presenting historical fact in such an awesome way.
Hitler escaped to Argentina, watch the documentary film Greywolf.
After April 22, there was hardly anyone left in the chancellery bunker, according to Gestapo Müller, only two secretaries remained, "the oldest" who would never speak (Johanna Wolf, who never spoke) and "the youngest and dumbest "....Else Krüger, Bormann's secretary, who would later marry his English interrogator.....there was also Bormann, Gestapo Müller, Linge and Rattenhuber...and all the personnel necessary for the bunker's operation. The big problem for Müller was that the buried body of A. Hitler's double was expected to be found a week later (he was buried next to the fountain in the Chancellery garden) so that the decomposition would help to confuse the remains with the true A.H. A few hours after the Germans surrendered, the body was found, dehydrated but not decomposed.
Why was more not made of this earlier?
@@StoutProper In Argentina, Paraguay and Chile, history has been written differently, in Europe and the US Trevor Roper's comments were taken as the true story, but Trevor Roper obeyed orders and that order commanded him to "kill Hitler" in the papers, while the OSS, through Allan Dulles, was negotiating in Switzerland with Karl Wolf, (General of the SS) who represented A.H., for this reason Göring and Himmler were left powerless... In the Chancellery Bunker he died only one person Ferdinand Beisel, one of the doubles of A.H whose corpse the Russians found.... Napoleon Bonaparte said: "...history is a set of lies...consensual..."
Fact is that nazi had plan what wil happen after war , a loot of riches that germans stole in ww2 was never recovered ! ... I am sure that cash was invested after war by "ex" nazi in german economy . I am sure hitles survived war , but I doubt he ever left germany , he loved montains and if there was whloe nazi village that had loot of riches , no one had any reason to snitch on him , some elderly cobler/amateur painter , he could be bit similar to adolf hitler , but had no mustache ,and who village would say they they know him , he lived there whole life , and he was anti nazi ... I remember few years back Italian mafia boss Bernardo Provenzano was fugitive for 43 years and with all his power and money he was living modest life style , and I am sure that hitler was living modest life style , but he had power to his death ... and look at Germany AD 2023 , they are very aggresive , look how they push their policies , they work with long term plan , and target is to get control over Europe with economy , now they want to federalize Europe , and have one European army = no independece for any state but Germany in EU ... and fore me is funny how Germans say , nazis did all ww2 crimes ... who where those nazis ? and what happen with them after war ? , they got back to germany , had children , grand children , and those children and grand children rule now germany ...
whats your source for this drivel?
@@abdihassan7208 What Gestapo Müller said to a CIA director in 1948, to an agent and to a German stenographer. Everything was explained during 21 days in which the agents stayed in the Villa in Bern, Switzerland where Gestapo Müller lived. The transcription of the talks was given to Gregory Douglas, who put it in the 3-volume book Gestapo Chief published in 1995, the data was given to Douglas by "the Crow" who is Mr. Robert T Crowley, director of CIA Covert Operations.
I would have liked him to ask me without adding the words "that nonsense" perhaps if he investigated the real history a little he would find out that much of what he was taught in school was modified by "political needs of that situation"...
You have my greatest respect.
This was defiantly an eye opener, to be honest I have never actually heard the story of identification of Eva Braun only Hitler. Extremely interesting Mark! Can't wait for the next episode!
Both of my grandfathers fought in Europe in the war. My Paternal Grandfather was in Naples recovering from an injury in N Africa when Benito met his fate in the Italian alps and had bought a photograph from one of the original photographers that took a picture of the bodies hung from the metal framework, that we still have to this day. My grandmothers brother was with the liberating forces at Buchenwald concentration camp and we have the letters he wrote home and a few of the pictures that he took ( the ones that survived my very Christian great grandmother burning). He passed away in the 50’s , so I never got to hear his stories but my grandfather and uncles who were over there always felt that Hitler escaped to Argentina with so many others. All of these stories are so wonderfully written and I appreciate the time that you take to present them. Much love to you from Raeford North Carolina, USA. I live right next to Ft Bragg, which is an extremely historic army base here in the states. About 20 miles from where I live is Maxton Air base , where many glider pilots were trained during the war. Thank you again for your superb work Mark. 🤙🤙
Good comment.
He bought a photo of a mutilated corpse hanging from a metal framework? Why would one do that? That's macabre.
@ibbylancaster8981. If only they had been a militant atheist with a fascination of the morbid. Even my great grandfather disposed of many of the photographs he had since it only reminded him of the war. He kept the ones that didn’t show dead bodies and blood and most were of him and friends smiling and laughing. I didn’t keep the pictures and report for my sister in law’s father sent to me since she didn’t believe the official report from South America.
These mini-documentaries about the smaller and usually more interesting subject are of the highest quality, bar none.
Can't believe just how much of this story i never knew, another amazingly researched episode Dr Felton.
Try to imagine what you dont know about the Sept 11 World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. But the bottom line is who benefited and it surely wasnt a rag tag bunch of Saudi nuts.
This is some of the best WWII content on the internet. Excellent stuff.

Great 2nd episode Mark! I never knew about these discrepancies with the supposed body of Eva Braun. Can’t wait for the 3rd presentation covering Hitler’s remains!
Its always feels good coming back after a busy day to sit down on the couch and watch some Mark Felton videos and also learn something new at the same time
Similarly to how the Nazi's absconded or hid much of their treasure and important artifacts, it would tow the line of the theory that they also wouldn't let the bodies of two of the most important people of their movement simply fall into the hands of their enemies.
Very very well done Mark, I continue to be absolutely fascinated by the constantly emerging knowledge of this period in history
*Nazis
Learn basic English.
Dr Felton teaches history the same way I enjoy learning it 😉 saying “I wonder what happened…” and then falling down the rabbit hole with that niche topic!
I read the book by Hugh Thomas twenty plus years back and have been intrigued ever since. Like all good mysteries, the fascinating aspect is knowing something is very wrong with the "official" story, but not knowing what actually happened. Great content. Many Thanks!
Well, look at what is happening on Maui. Same sort of bull.
The details given in Dr. Felton’s videos is incredible. Amazing.

@@user-ru9gf7ky2y
As many other folks have pointed out to you, Dr. Felton earned a PhD, and it is proper to refer to him as “Doctor Felton.” You are correct that he is not a medical doctor; he is not an MD.
@@user-ru9gf7ky2y It’s an academic PhD, referred to as “doctor’. So Dr. Felton is correct, most likely a doctorate in modern history.
While there does seem to be anomalies regarding the corps, on fact is they were never seen again alive. Great video Mark.
From a fellow Aussie, I agree with you. No reliable evidence has come to light to support a confirmed sighting of either of the Hitlers alive after April 1945. Mark does excellent work.
Mark, I have followed you for years. This ranks amongst your best.
It is well known that Hitler had body doubles. Is it possible that there was at least one for Eva?
Any young women would do
Or sacrificed for the cause
The shrapnel probably means that she was just a convenient corpse found nearby.
@@vorynrosethorn903 Yup, exactly. Plenty to choose from.
@@vorynrosethorn903that kicked the teeth into to hide the evidence.
I have to say I love that you don’t add conjecture or theoretical opinion here. The facts are interesting enough you don’t need to fluff it up like so many documentaries try to do.
I always smash the like button on this channel before i watch knowing the material will be amazing
One of the finest historians alive today...thanx doc
Keep telling the details Doctor!...
They are the keystone of truly understanding history, vague lessons are why so many people don't become as enthralled as us.
Theory:
I base my theory as a federal agent of 22 years, with countless cases I have investigated over that period.
1st: forensic evidence is very rarely ever contradicted. It is scientific and medical fact. So the lack of Cyanide in the blood and organs, plus the simple break of the capsule, clearly indicate the capsule was planted post mortem.
Add to that tge incongruous dental records and testimony versus what was revealed during autopsy. And the smoking gun,no Pun intended, is the two shrapnel wounds, with associated hemorrhage. Dead body do not pump blood through veins. Period.
2. This clearly points to some sort of body double.
3. Hitler was adamant that he should never be captured alive, nor should his dead body ever be captured, most especially by the Soviets.
4. Posit this theory, that Eva Braun left with the other bunker staff during Operation Seralgio. She is relatively non descript, looking very much like the average German woman of her age and the time frame. With a change of hair color and style, a pair of glasses, some frumpy clothing, she could easily pass for any young German woman. Add to that a complete, abd authentic set of 3rd Reich issued identity documents under an assumed name. And she simply fades into the chaos of post war Germany and Europe. She could also have easily been spirited out of Germany through the rat lines.
While only a theory, it is certainly very plausible, and forensic evidence does not lie.
But forensic reports sometimes do.
I do question the forensic aptitude of Soviet scientists in 1945 vs foreniscs now. The forensic science of the day was probably quite rudimentary. The cyanide ingested from the small ampules was obviously quite miniscule and highly concentrated. Were they looking for the correct broken down byproducts of cyanide and how sensitive was their equipment to detect it did they have at that time? How long had the already mostly destroyed body been laying outside in the open air environment before it was tested? These kinds of questions are why I would be skeptical of the autopsy reports back then and whether or not you should take them with a grain of salt.
"...This clearly points to some sort of body double... ". OK. But to what end? Other credible testimony shows that she committed suicide with Hitler in the bunker. No doubt, Felton would agree with this, too. So, why a "body double"?
We have to keep in mind the political side of this theory. I don't think Braun's survival would have world consequences(except for history and tabloids). But Hitler's would, if he escaped the ramifications would be far reaching. But pronouncing them both dead, does serve the narrative of history. It is pretty easy to hide just about anywhere in the world, as long as you have trusted help, and never go out.
I like your theory, considering the chaos of the situation. Very plausible.
My grandfather was a pilot in WW2, I had shown his flight logs to people in the know. I was told we have to rewrite a few history books. It goes to show that there is always more to find under the umbrella of history.
@@pogue972 a good point. My skepticism originates mainly with the chest shrapnel wounds and accompanied hemorrhaging. Whether 1945, 2023, or 800 BC, a dead heart does not pump blood.
Also, another thought, Hitler cared very deeply for Eva Braun, that much we know, and given the attitude toward protecting women, somewhat amplified in nazi germany, it is very believable that Hitler would have wanted her out of Berlin. Then end was obvious, even to someone as deranged as Hitler. So Eva is sent away with the other Bunker staff.
A suitable dead young female, one killed during the Russian assault, could easily have been found, and burned and buried alongside Hitlers body, (or a doubles) to reinforce the story they boith killed themselves abd were burned. That pre supposes that Hitler also escaped. We will have to wait and see what Mark's next installment presents by way of evidence to jump down that rabbit hole.
The best history channel period.highly appreciate your uploads good sir
Absolutely fascinating, Dr. Felton. Thank you.
This is really great timing, I just got into researching about this topic and started watching all of your videos on hitler's death and others on it. I have watched a lot and knew nothing about this on Eva Braun. Amazing work on this video, thanks!
This excellent mini-séries of forensic investigation is breathtaking and utterly interesting. Many many Thanks for the high quality of your (huge) works 👍👍👍
Very unbiased commentary on a precise point in history,just what we have come to expect from Mark Felton👍
I love these two episodes you’ve done Dr. Felton! Thank you for the most factual and interesting history there is. I can’t wait to see the next episode!
Not a doctor. Does not practice medicine.
@@user-ru9gf7ky2y if you have a masters degree in a subject you are called a docter know matter what subject you got the degree in so yes he is a docter
Nothing beats waking up, realising it's a non working day and then finding Dr Felton has a new video
I had read that the teeth didnt match but to hear about the shrapnel and hemorrhage of the heart is a huge revelation. That couldn't have been Eva's body. Absolutely no way that way her.
If that wasn't eva then who was it? More importantly where is Eva? If there's no body then nobody's dead. The duplicate dental furniture smack of careful and prior planning. Not enough to say Hitler survived, but, plenty to ask who was buried in hitlers grave
Maybe a double?
And there is no way they would fake only Eva Braun and not Hitler’s body too. The forensic evidence preeented here shows it cannot be her. And it would be inconceivable that Hitler really killed himself but Braun didn’t: so where did they go?
@@robinpage2730 or just a women they found dead in the streets of berlin roughly matching her height .
or maybe the history about the suicide was fake. a fairy's tale to enhance the spirit of german's nationalism? Maybe the dentist's memory was not so good. Maybe Eva tried to escape alone in one day in advance, just after the marriage, and was dead by some shrapnel , and the bunker's occupants decided to create a history of courage and not cowardice. All these stories are a matter of faith only.
Compelling, fascinating, and thought provoking. In other words, classic Felton! 🤘💯
10 out of 10 for an excellent investigative report. I'm excited to see part 3, thank you!
The suspense is killing me Dr. Felton! Please release Episode 3!
Drum roll please!
Looking forward to the tsunami of conspiracy theories and creative fictional history we'll see in the comments after the next video.
The picture of the poor dog was a very sad one for me, as she had done nothing wrong as is frankly an outrage.
To be fair, I'm sure if Soviet soldiers found her alive they'd have treat the dog horrifically, probably beating it to death.
While sad, shooting her was probably the best option.
Lovely dogs, Alsatians...breeding has left them with some unfortunate defects, (the pointing stance, of show types, leads to arthritis at a young age...and its heartbreaking. I still miss my brothers dog. He was a great mate).
Probably the worst thing Hitler did 😢
Dude ordered the death of 6 million people, killing a dog is the least of his crimes
Definitely Mark Felton's channel
This is the pre-February 2022 Mark Felton that I was such a big fan of.
I mean he is Anglo-Saxon so he will keep the side of hitler
@@olsiontoska9520
What?
Thank you. Although your professionalism keeps you from speculation I'm an amateur who grew up in the baby boom and absorbed the sensational popular theories of that time. It seems like the easiest explanation is that Stalin's team knew not to cross him and faked the details to finish their report. They would have had the motivation, access to teeth and the bridge to make the wrong body match Eva. The identity of the corpse and Eva's fate were most likely lost during the chaos in Berlin.
Interesting theory!
Can't wait for episode 3 . I really enjoy the longer episodes.
As usual Mr Felton, fascinating.
Considering the absolute chaos that was Berlin in May 1945, I can see how any number of forensic errors could be made regarding the Hitlers. It was a rapidly evolving situation. I'm amazed that the Soviets were able to accomplish much of anything in the middle if that mess.
How can we accept Soviet account tho? They’ve always been liars
Unfortunately, that is usually the justification for when things don't add up. "It's messy. Don't look into it."
The Soviets accomplished" much . Treachery plus.
How would they have made these errors? It's either the wrong records or the wrong body.
I'm amazed at how Dr. Felton produces such quality investigations only days apart from his other productions...is he working round the clock?
Probably. Mebbe he has access to the same drugs that they were on ? Heh-heh.
These are obviously all pre recorded and he’s just drip feeding them
Looking forward to part 3 Dr Felton!
Great work Doctor Felton!
Excellent video cannot wait for pt.3
Fantastically researched as always, brilliant channel Mark. I don't know if we'll ever really know what truly happened to the Hilters.This is the best observation of the available documentation from the time
Didn't you know? They later went on to make an unsuccessful sitcom for the BBC.
Just imagine what about had happened if it was declared that Hitler and Eva Brain escaped. So there was a very good reason to disbelieve the official version anyway
Russia did declare that. The Russians kept the death of Hitler a secret for many years and claimed the west helped them escape. Most of what we know now, we know only because the soviet union collapsed. The narrative that Hitler did not commit suicide, but instead escaped Berlin, was first presented to the general public by Marshal Georgy Zhukov at a press conference on 9 June 1945, on orders from Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.
It is a matter of public record that many Nazis escaped with US assistance and resettled in the Americas and even put back into power in West Germany 😮...and nobody cares at all (except the Russians)
My only criticism would be there were so many looking for him that wouldn't just let him walk away. He was the most hunted man on the planet at the time. It's one thing for lesser known Nazis to escape and another for the probably most notorious person on the planet at the time to do so and never be found.
Is it possible? Sure but the likelihood of it is pretty slim.
I think they escaped to Tel Aviv, the last place anyone would try to find them ...
@@swirvinbirds1971 Sure, but if they sailed off on a sub to S. America into hiding? We know that's where a lot of other infamous and truly brutal Nazis ended up. How/why did so many intelligence agencies from the time allow that to take place?
An excellent video sir! Most people, me included, never hear 'the rest of the story' concerning history. The winners write their versions and THAT is usually all we ever see. Thank you!
You know it’s a good day when you see a new video from Dr. Mark Felton is out!

Amazing video Mark! Keep up the amazing work!
My daughter is forensic specialist. She always says that burn victims are the hardest to identify. Dental records are the primary factor: if there’s not a match, it is not a match…. So from forensic standpoint: this was not Eva Braun. The rest is speculation.
Yeah, you clearly need to be at least a "forensic specialist" (not a thing, by the way) to know that...

I love history and have studied the end of WWII more than a little and I had NEVER heard of any of this around Eva… you bring us the most amazing and fascinating stories Dr. Felton… very well done. This series has me riveted.
This has been an interesting set of long form video’s by Dr. Felton that explores yet again another part of the Second World War. Well done Dr. Felton!
Hitler escaped to Argentina, watch the documentary film Greywolf.
I remember reading Hugh Trevor-Roper's account in the seventies. It was then regarded as definitive. Nothing since then had challenged it very much. But this video, laid out in such a clear and compelling way, is astonishing Iin the extent to which it sheds new light on the death of Hitler. Mark Felton is consistently amazing, and the most compelling communicator of history I've ever seen.
This format of multiple episodes is most enjoyable and interesting , thankyou for your efforts , well done
Dr. Felton, as always doing an outstanding quality job. I'm grateful for the effort to research and constantly share interesting topics like this.
Mark, you really did your job well, amazing work 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Brilliant video thanks for taking the time to make this .
Must have taken hours .
Thanks - it takes a long time.
Mister Felton, I have tremendous respect for you. And this was the first video of yours I have ever seen. But of any "Conspiracy Video" too expose the truth your video is head and shoulder above anything else I have ever seen. It was objective, concise, thorough and left no room for argument or mincing hairs! BRAVO! V
I am convinced that the vast majority of conspiracy theorist and so-called 'truth seekers' have no interest in the truth. It's meaningless entertainment to them and they either like the world to be murky and ambiguous or they don't believe anything is possible or ever was. And perhaps it no longer is possible. There was once a time though when lies were rare and truth was common and this ended little by little with by the WWII it was all over. And only recently have my eyes been opened to the disturbing fact that those who choose to believe the official story are not fooled at all, just immoral and intellectually lazy. I respect Mr. Felton for not speculated as to what became of Adolf und Eva, which, to me added much credibility; not that it the video needed anymore. told
Worth the wait, another great video! Can’t wait for episode 3
The interesting "theory" is that, while Rochus Misch, had always said that he and other staff opened the door and saw the corpses and he and other SS staff carried the "covered bodies" out, he could never say who covered the bodies. There is always the assumption that other bunker personnel did. But no survivors at the time said they hadn't. So, with conflicting assumptions, how do we know whose corpses were covered. Of course, it could have been staff who committed suicide, such as Krebs or Burgdorf.
So what happened to Hitler & Braun? Escape? To South America?
The biggest issue for me about any South America scenario is that we're expected to believe that after a lifetime of causing trouble he just chucked all that in & retired. Just travelled from rural hotel to rural hotel until he died? Never hooked up with any of the other senior party members who were verified as being in South America & tried to start another movement & kick start the war?
Not likely. Whatever happened he didn't make it out of the Reichstag area.
Another gem by Mark Felton :)
Loving this particular Find the Fuhrer series... excellent work as per usual. Thank you
Fascinating series Dr Felton. Thanks for sharing!
A really good and informative episode. I am really looking forward to the third episode.
Thank you for the amazing historical content! ❤❤
What I feel the most regret is, the dogs that became the victims of the two criminals. My guess is
the Russians would have punished them for being Hitler's dogs.
Poor blondie 😢
Would have become sausage
I had always understood that Hitler had his dog out down before his own suicide.
No one was talking.@@carolannemckenzie3849
My thoughts would be that the Soviets were worried that Stalin would be very displeased if he found out Hitler had gotten away.
The other thing is Hitler never blamed himself for the failures during the war, why would he stay and take his own life? It makes far more sense that he would abandoned the German people feeling they had failed them himself.
I reckon you're probably right about the Russians fabricating a scenario because they knew what admitting failure would mean.
As for Hitler's suicide, you make a good point, but I don't think Hitler would have taken his own life because he felt responsible at all, it was more that he knew very well what being captured alive by the Russians would mean. He would ultimately end up in the same gulag as the SMERCH officers who had failed to find him, experiencing a lifetime of torture, pain, and unfathomable misery. The other aspect to be considered is it's well documented that by the end Hitler's mind was addled by the huge amounts of methamphetamine he was being administered on a daily basis. As we see today, ingesting large amounts of methamphetamine leads to fairly significant mental health issues. I'd even go so far as to say Hitler was likely completely out of his mind, he would have been unable to make any rational decisions.
It's strangely ironic that both Hitler and the SMERCH officers were both deathly afraid of Stalin's wrath. Hitler committed suicide, the SMERCH officers fabricated a story. Stalin's wrath robbed everyone of a justified outcome, and as a result we will probably never know the truth. I wonder if that ever occurred to him, or if he ever realised he was unwittingly the architect of his own conspiracies.
Excellent, Dr. Felton. One of your best!
Episodes 1 and 2 are quite excellent. Thank you for these videos and look forward to more.
Outstanding content - as usual!
This is fascinating and so educational. I've never seen these pictures and motion picture footage anywhere else! Thank you for bringing this to all of us.
Brilliant uploads,serious hard work put into these videos as ever.Many thanks mark…
Interesting..... Bring on episode 3..
This is your best work yet!!
Thanks for another interesting and informative WW2 video
What would the soviets (and Stalin mainly) gained or lost had they acknowledged both bodies were in fact missing? Aside from hypothesis about Hitler and Eva escape, something is sure, the Soviets (and the whole world for that matter) wanted to move on and supported the idea that they were dead. All this mystery sounds more political to me than anything else. Can you imagine the emotions in 1945 saying “they war is over but there is a tiny problem…….”
The tiny problem of never trust the soviets .
It seems to me that everyone wanted to just move on. Dr. Felton has demonstrated in other videos how the prosecutions of Nazi war criminals was done half-heartedly and many were just dropped. Nazis were allowed to escape down the "Rat Lines" operated by the Vatican. Something here really stinks, and I'm telling you, the entire rest of the 20th century and into now has that stink upon it.
Could it be that the Soviet administrator in charge of this investigation wanted so badly to give Stalin the news that his rival had died, smudged the evidence and covered up the true story?
Another excellent report Mark, thanks.
Thank you Mark.
Utterly fascinating. And like most people is completely at odds with what we have heard before. I'm starting to believe that Hitler and Eva did commit suicide in the Bunker but instead of their bodies being burned that they were taken somewhere in the complex of tunnels under the Kanzeleri and were sealed in a room and the entrance blown up to make it inaccessible. Many people saw their bodies removed from the study, but only six or seven would actually go up the steps with the bodies (and 3 died soon thereafter) and therefore few have real first hand knowledge of how the bodies were disposed of. Two of them were with Hitler everyday on a personal level so I'm guessing they can keep a secret. I believe that Hitler and Eva are buried in Berlin today.
This is a good one
I was just thinking the same thing, only a handful of people took the bodies to the surface and burned them. Many of whom died ( or escaped) shortly afterwards. I simply find it hard too believe that die hard nazis who practically worshipped hitler wouldn’t make absolutely sure that remains didn’t fall into enemy hands.
Good theory. I’ve also wondered if they we’re actually buried in a different spot outside and we’re just completely overlooked by the Soviets. Too bad that whole area is built up today, we will never get to know for sure
@@kayzeazaBetter that then the desecration that would befall them otherwise.
@@kayzeaza i wonder if it’s possible to find maps of where Soviet lines were on April 30th, then at least one could extrapolate in theory anyway possible alternative burial locations
Fantastic video Dr Felton. This is the fist I’ve ever heard about the anomalies on Eva Brauns body.
Have you ever tried to burn anything in a pit without sufficient air flow it just doesn't work
Add about 50 gallons of gasoline.
Once again thank you for the wonderful work and the great education.
This information on Eva Braum alone justifies re opening what actually happened in April of 45 , like most , I accepted what has been taught, now with this information, I can no longer accept the general belief of what transpired.
Thus is what I love about history , information comes to light that turns accepted history and turns it on its head, the game is afoot
Great work! Great info! Great presentation! Cant wait for the next part!
Mark Felton, thank you SO much for these videos! I cant help but get excited whenever you upload new content!
Your work is top notch, Dr. Felton. Thank you for your extensively researched and well put together thoughts and facts in your videos. You make WW2 history so good to watch
The intense musical intro playing over Eva Braun spooning tea into her mouth.
