Although I know, as a German, quite a lot about our history, this channel always brings up something which ist new to me. Thank you for that and your great work.
@handsome nazi Glad they lost. The Wehrmacht attacked countries in an aggressive war. Terrorism is when an army attacks civilians. Hitler made mistake after mistake. 1. He let the troops at Dunkirk go, giving Churchill an army. 2. He started attacking the UK, started bombing them, then stopped. 3. He attacked British lines in Africa, with too few troops, tanks. 4. He invaded the USSR. Strategic blunder. Two front war. 5. Attacking civilians made it impossible to find allies. 6. Hitler suddenly declared war on the US when he did not have to. 7. He split his army, half going to Stalingrad and half going to the Caucasus Region
Your German "ist" is showing. Lol. I was born in Frankfurt as an "Army brat"and lived in West Germany in the 2nd and 3rd grades and the 6th, 7th and 8th grades. Your country is beautiful and I miss her to this day. Stay safe and God bless.
My friend's elderly mother was a German nazi lady. She was in a nazi youth organisation, then joined the army as a nurse, serving throughout the war. Thereafter, she came to England to find a husband and married well having 5 children. I enjoyed long conversations with her over a decade or so, before her death in 2017. A good and principled lady who loved her family. I respected her.
I was there a few years ago. There is not a single pine tree near the Vinnitca. The Werwolf area is an exception. The headquarters itself is completely destroyed, but the information boards about the HQ and the occupation of Ukraine and the museum are interesting. Best regards to the author of this extremely interesting channel from Poland.
Despite of the nazi plea to the rest of western Europe to join them in illuminating murderous Soviet Stalin's regime, it's worth remembering that this nazi ruthless and criminal regime who's head ordered all Russian POWs to be shot immediately after the completion of this project and buried into the common pit. That says a lot. Peace and Love
It surprised me that they would bother wasting explosives to destroy this complex, unless Hitler didn't want to lose face by having Soviet troops posing for photographs in his forward headquarters. The concrete structures would have no real strategic purpose after Hitler had abandoned it. I would like to visit the site myself to take some photographs and pause in memory of those who had died there. The more I read about Hitler, the more I think what a strange, complex man he was. So many facets to his character.
Yes I interrupted my joe wickes workout video to watch this! When I go through the Felton archive it looks like I’ve been train spotting! Every video has a red line under it because I’ve watched it! Damn! 🤣👍👊
In September 2017, I visited the site in Vinnytsa, Ukraine. It was an eerie experience but well worth the effort. The nearby private museum is equally fascinating and unmissable. The museum in Vinnytsa is also interesting.
Hello Mark. You certainly deserve the millions of views and over 1 million subscribers. I shared your channels with my now 97 year of father about 2 years ago and he fascinated by the high level of content that your present. Thank you very much for the great work from myself and my father.
@@pissiole5654 lol. save a few exceptions, if the narration is American English, I can’t do it. (there is a WWII series narrated by Charlton Heston that I can listen to) I’m American, btw.
I was there in September 2018. It's located near Vinnytsa and is accessible via taxi. Not a whole lot left but there's a fascinating private museum nearby. The main WW2 museum in Vinnytsa is also well worth a visit.
Once again, a splendid video from Mark of the highest standards, comprehensively researched, and narrated by a voice that to my American ears is not only authoritative but soothing and enticing. Best of all, perhaps: the viewer is not subjected to the excessively emotional, inescapable, wall-to-wall ghastly music that so often accompanies videos on WWII. Keep 'em comin, Mr. Felton!
@Steve Jobs except Argentina only has a small bit of rain forest. Up on the Brazil border which isn't that dense. The rest of Argentina is mostly rolling plains and uninhabitable mountains where food is scarce and nothing grows...
When Mark talked about the Soviet prisoners building this complex, I thought, "I bet a paranoid lunatic like Hitler ordered their execution." About 15 seconds later, Mark confirmed my suspicion.
No it makes a lot of sense. If you were a pow being forced to carry out slave labor. Once the work was done. There is a good chance at least one of those soldiers may escape. If even just one were to escape and then describe the layout to Soviet high command that could be the end of Hitler. Evil. But it makes sense
Another brilliant video. I can understand why some thought Hitler had a guardian angel, the way he survived so many attempts on his life. I had not heard of this attempt on his plane and this is why I like this channel, the content is fascinating.
@@davidb2206 wow, you're old. You didn't learn more during the last several decades? You're carrying much inherited baseless fear and anger. Why? Bad home life between the world wars?
@@mftepera Stalin had another pint sized little guy in the early 50's, a sort of Johnny-come-lately Yezhov.... His name was Ryumin and Stalin's pet name for him was "pygmy"! Like Yezhov, he was eventually shot!
An Alcoholic Hedgehog “werewolf!” “There wolf. There castle.” “Why you talking like this?” “I dunno you started it!” 🤣 sorry I needed to expunge that classic line from Young Frankenstein. Sorry. 😂👍
The roof of the main quarters at Werwolf covered in shrubs and grass was noteworthy to me. Better than any manufactured camouflage. The quantity and quality of engineering to house and protect Hitler for such a short period of time is sublime ....so German.
If you had a bunch of free labor from amazing people that came from a place where hard work was a way of life why wouldn't you build a kick ass Headquarters? That was an extra douchy move to kill them. I thought hard work would set you free.
I've visited his place. Its freaking MASSIVE 😲. Those bunkers have upto 5m thick sidewalls and 8m thick roofs. Its pretty much impregnable. They could easily build a small town with the materials that were used to build this bunker complex.
It should be noted that "Werwolf" does NOT mean what English speakers associate that term with (i.e., the shape shifting man-wolf horror creature of legend). In German use, it means "Armed Wolf."
Dear Dr. Felton, aside from your obvious tremendous knowledge of history, and incredible way you present your material makes it for me as a magnet with the force which is impossible to break. Thank you so so much.
@Joseph King ... because it's essential that one offers ones finest grammar, vocabulary and punctuation to suit your retentive needs? If you can't understand him learn, if, on the other hand, you dislike his sentiments why would you believe pointing out his English would help?
How you keep finding important segments of history continues to pleasantly surprise me, Dr. Felton. Once again, unknown to me and very well done. Thank you!
I absolutely love your content, and I’d like to make a suggestion: A video or short series on the American submarine USS Barb (SS-220). In short, this submarine ravaged Japanese shipping, was the first to launch rockets from the Japanese shore at military and industrial installations on the mainland, and sent in a strike team of saboteurs to set a very dangerous bomb, blow a train rail, and derail a train carrying military personnel. Furthermore, their skipper, Eugene Fluckey, was awarded the medal of honor (among other awards) and went on to be promoted to Rear Admiral following the war and led the U.S. Navy submarine ballistic missile testing program. It is truly an amazing story of bravery, with some of the crew’s achievements being literally the stuff of legend, and I think it’d make a great video if you’re interested :)
Not sure why you feel Hitler had a penchant for "gloomy pine forests". I visited the original Wolf's Lair in Ketrzyn when I was a kid. There was nothing gloomy about the area. Pine forests are beautiful in the summer. On the other hand, in the six months of late October to mid-April all of that area is miserable and dark regardless of whether it is forested or not. It's just the nature of northern climate.
mountainhobo I’ve always heard the area around the Wolf’s Lair was swampy, therefore mosquitoes must have been a problem. Perhaps that is what made it gloomy.
@@99somerville "mosquitoes" -- That's Warmia and Mazury, a.k.a. Polish Minnesota, post-glacial lakes all around, so yeah, you won't escape mosquitoes, but that's true for most of the former East Prussia. Best locate near a large body of salt water, preferably breezy, but those areas while available in that region tend to be far more exposed, so militarily not desirable. Having said all of this, Minnesota is quite beautiful. As for the mosquitoes, remember they sense fear. ;)
@@damuses1452 - We're all human.... where that enters in, our personal feelings will sometimes encroach. The only way to avoid that is soulessness.... and nobody actually prefers that.... well maybe liberals do... but nobody else.
I visited the site back in like 2015, very interesting, huge concrete blocks split in two by I assume incredible force. The forest was deep and the bunkers strewn about.
Mark. Your research is so good. I am astounded at the detail you uncover..! Thank you so much. I lived through those times, in England of course. Keep up the good work, I do recognise that memories are fading away . Therefore, you are vitle to keep memories alive.
Love your videos! A true step above in terms of quality from most of TH-cam! Also may I suggest a video on the amazing story of Joe Beylre. He was captured as a paratrooper on d day. Escaped and got recaptured several times. Then escaped and made it to the Russian lines and asked to fight in the red army before getting hurt I believe and visited by General Zhukov and given a pass back to the USA. A truly incredible story!
Thank you Mark Felton, you hit the nail on the head once again, as always your attention to detail is impeccable mixed with still shots and a quality of video that had to be way ahead of it's time.
I have seen pictures of the Wolfs Lair, but not of the other two 'Lairs' but nice to see all three in great detail, and the calm and collected commentary by Mark......as usual...:)
Man I wish this channel was around when I was in high school great stuff!! I actually like learning history now mark makes it so intriguing. Here I am 26 and learn more about ww2 from mark than I ever did from high school.
It gets hotter than that in some places here with death valley being the most well known but unofficially some spots on a not too uncommon bad day can top close to 60c in the south west.
You would be right. The trees’ canopy adds a quietude + sense of shelter from the surrounding world. Shade and bit of cooling in heat. Bugs not really so bad if the terrain isn’t wet/swampy… But the other aspect is also true. Lost sense of direction. Gloom, strange noise of unknown wildlife. When weather is bad and blasting thru, a false sense of security that might crash down on top of you. The context kinda makes the atmospherics.
If you still havent been in pine forest, go visit some old pine forest with big big trees. its like fairytale when nothing grows on the ground but green moss and everything is soft and quiet.
This is the first I've heard that the decision to split Army Group South in two was made while hilter was feverish with the flu. Why am I just hearing this now? Nice work on this video Mark. But is this some new information that has just come to light?
Yes a Lee at Gettysburg and Napoleon at Waterloo also said to make their atypical frontal assault plans while having a fever. Lesson you can’t work though a fever and your doctor should order you to bed and prohibit you from giving orders till your over it.
This is excellent research Mark! Thanks for educating me! It is the basis for a movie, and a certain historian needs to be credited and compensated. :-)
Man the tension of the Tresckow/Brandt scenes in Valkyrie were so well done. Even though you know how it ends you're still crossing your fingers with the plotters the whole way through. What a shame those guys couldn't have ended it all then.
Great episode again Mark. Was wondering if you could find out if any British or commonwealth ground troops landed on okinawa on the first days of the invasion.
My goodness, the light brigade's ride through the history of the German military resistance. Very good work. What always upsets me is how bumbling and self-absorbed this resistance was. This is in complete contrast to the extent to which this resistance has been hailed. My silent and little honored hero is Johann Georg Elser.
@Pedro Kantor Wise words. But from my point of view, this is about more than a myth. In fact, the German resistance had many variants. From my point of view, the military resistance was not a resistance at all, but an attempted coup by the people who had previously helped make Hitler great. But the young Federal Republic of Germany needed this fairy tale of the military resistance to show that there was also a clean German military, because after all, the generals of the Wehrmacht were also the first leaders of the Bundeswehr. The fact that there was also a communist, a social democratic or a Christian resistance wasn't particularly helpful. Nor did the desperate acts of individual ordinary citizens receive adequate attention.
Interesting and informative. Excellent photography job making it easier for viewers to understand what the orator was describing.Historians did a very good job presenting actual facts from fiction. Class A research project. Special thanks to the wolf's lair making this documentary possible!!!
If there is a lesson to be learned from all of Mark's insightful documentaries, it is not to entrust your life to a demagogue with delusions of grandeur. You will end up another unknown in a mass grave.
Good you say 'forgotten' Mark, as I had the opportunity to visit the ruins of this complex, but actually forgot to actually visit and instead spend my time elsewhere in the region.

Yes always 😁👊👍
asheland so true
Better yet, Who hasn't!?! JJ
Another amazing video Mark! Thanks for what you do.
That's so interesting. More engaging than recent Hollywood-Flicks.
The symphonic Bass to Dr. Feltons videos is a treasure in and of itself 🙏
Wow... Such great knowledge on M.Felton. Best ww2 history teacher to my knowledge :)
Thank you so much Mr. Felton.
"Werwolf, vercastle." My favorite line in Young Frankenstein. Your video reminded me of that.
Damn that’s impressive. Less than one hour and over 10k views! Bravo.
Always learning new WWII history thanks to Mark Felton. I hope at some point, the US POW camps for German and Italians will be covered.
Wouldn't it have been simply ironic if hitler was killed by gas in one of his bunkers. Very neat video, I love ww2 history.
or by a bad turnip
Ahh another gem.. I can never get tired of mr feltons channel..
I've never been in a pine forest I wouldn't think oppressive, instead they are quite, composed, and full of life.
You would be right. The trees’ canopy adds a quietude + sense of shelter from the surrounding world. Shade and bit of cooling in heat. Bugs not really so bad if the terrain isn’t wet/swampy…
But the other aspect is also true. Lost sense of direction. Gloom, strange noise of unknown wildlife. When weather is bad and blasting thru, a false sense of security that might crash down on top of you.
The context kinda makes the atmospherics.
Indeed, the occasional wolf pack or brown bears, make a great deadly company!
If you still havent been in pine forest, go visit some old pine forest with big big trees. its like fairytale when nothing grows on the ground but green moss and everything is soft and quiet.
When Mark Felton rocks up with another information packed moment of historical mastery, it's time to make a nice pot of tea with biscuits.
This is the first I've heard that the decision to split Army Group South in two was made while hilter was feverish with the flu. Why am I just hearing this now? Nice work on this video Mark. But is this some new information that has just come to light?
This guy makes some of the best videos on TH-cam.
I’ve been watching your channel since the start and Love it! Can you pls make a video about the Yugoslavian war In the 1990s?
Note to self: never command armies while in fever
Yes a Lee at Gettysburg and Napoleon at Waterloo also said to make their atypical frontal assault plans while having a fever. Lesson you can’t work though a fever and your doctor should order you to bed and prohibit you from giving orders till your over it.
Let generals take charge
More like don’t be on Meth and giving direct orders of war.
The one channel where I can hit the like button before watching the video and never be disappointed.
I suppose Pavlov was on to something. I hear the music and I begin drooling.
FYI this theme music is spot on. great content. subbed and watch often in my feed.
If it existed in WW2 it is never forgotten thanks to Mark Felton.
Now let's get him 1 million subscribers!
This is excellent research Mark! Thanks for educating me! It is the basis for a movie, and a certain historian needs to be credited and compensated. :-)
Man the tension of the Tresckow/Brandt scenes in Valkyrie were so well done. Even though you know how it ends you're still crossing your fingers with the plotters the whole way through. What a shame those guys couldn't have ended it all then.
Good thing all those traitors were dealt with.
@@mar3869 are you a nazi?
@@davidb2206 are you a nazi?
@@davidb2206 it's a simple question and how am i blocked? LMAO
Mr Felton have taken to higher level my knowledge about WW2. Well researched.
Hitler: "I want a new compound base"
Workers: "Okay lets go to work boys"
Workers: "We are done"
Hitler: "Liquidate them"
Workers: 0__0 WHY
well, it actually makes alot of sense.
the allies would have set that as priority for bombruns imo
I'm watching Dr. Felton all the time. Greetings from the Pacific Northwest in America.
Fascinating and another event about which I had never heard a thing.
I think one of my favorite things to hear is the inro music Mr Felton uses/has
Its very good
Anybody else agree?
Great episode again Mark. Was wondering if you could find out if any British or commonwealth ground troops landed on okinawa on the first days of the invasion.
What I like about Mark Felton's videos is that he uses different footage for each video and not the same ones over and over.
My goodness, the light brigade's ride through the history of the German military resistance. Very good work. What always upsets me is how bumbling and self-absorbed this resistance was. This is in complete contrast to the extent to which this resistance has been hailed. My silent and little honored hero is Johann Georg Elser.
@Pedro Kantor
Wise words. But from my point of view, this is about more than a myth. In fact, the German resistance had many variants. From my point of view, the military resistance was not a resistance at all, but an attempted coup by the people who had previously helped make Hitler great. But the young Federal Republic of Germany needed this fairy tale of the military resistance to show that there was also a clean German military, because after all, the generals of the Wehrmacht were also the first leaders of the Bundeswehr. The fact that there was also a communist, a social democratic or a Christian resistance wasn't particularly helpful. Nor did the desperate acts of individual ordinary citizens receive adequate attention.
Another interesting video Mark, Learn something new every time. One happy subscriber. Keep up the good work. 👍👍
I was watching another YT channel. when I received the notification that Mr. Felton had just uploaded. Oh well, the other channel will have to wait.
I love watching these videos while I’m working, amazing content!
Now this is history beautiful work as always Mark.
Whenever I get a notification that mark Felton put out a new video I get excited never ignore this notification...
As always Mark you never fail to disappoint. Good history lesson 👍
Interesting and informative. Excellent photography job making it easier for viewers to understand what the orator was describing.Historians did a very good job presenting actual facts from fiction. Class A research project. Special thanks to the wolf's lair making this documentary possible!!!
If there is a lesson to be learned from all of Mark's insightful documentaries, it is not to entrust your life to a demagogue with delusions of grandeur. You will end up another unknown in a mass grave.
Good you say 'forgotten' Mark, as I had the opportunity to visit the ruins of this complex, but actually forgot to actually visit and instead spend my time elsewhere in the region.
Thank you Mark I appreciate all of the knowledge you're passing on to all of the history fanatics especially WW2 and the nazis 🙏🙏🙏
