I've always considered myself fairly knowledgeable about World War II history. But now thanks to Mark Felton I really see that I am just slightly above an amateur. Thank you Mr. Felton for the absolute best history channel on TH-cam. Or anywhere else for that matter. I learn something new with every story and video. I'm chuffed to bits with your channels.
Thanks for this one! Helps to add up a piece of family history. My grandfather obviously entered the ranks of the SS rather early (SS-Membership No. 967). Due to your timeline that would be probably sometime after 1928 but rather long before Himmler added thousands to that branch. A bit more to the puzzle. From 3 old photographs I figured out that he was member of an MP (Feldgendarmerie) Platoon or Company attached to one of the Totenkopf-Divisions and took part in the battle of Charkov.
By your comments, he entered the Waffen-SS with Totenkopf (3rd Waffen-SS Division) probably upon it's formation in October 1939. With respect, you're sure of his SS#? Himmler's was 168; could they have known each other?
@@news_internationale2035 You are everywhere spreading you're zionazi lies aren't you , how's the weather in Tele Aivi today eh ? Shot any unarmed Palestinian children today ? Sunk any American ships ? We know the truth zionist and it doesn't look good for yous .
US uniforms were basically identical in both wars, other than the Air Force. And by the way for all the praise the Germans get for their spiffy outfits, the US Marine dress uniform is outstanding. Plus if he had lived to see it Goering would have eaten his heart out at at the US Air Force officer peaked cap visor with its storm cloud and lightning bolt "scrambled eggs" - for some reason the Luftwaffe had no scrambled eggs at all in its visors.
IrishCarney the marine dress uniform is cool but the issue is that they ruined all the other services branches uniforms after they tried to copy the “less soldierly” look, thank god America recently brought back its wwii era army dress uniforms, which, while not as nice as the German or British threads from the era, is very sporty
@@IrishCarney Btw. Initially equipped with Minnesota's resources, Finland lost more than the US in Vietnam. Suitably the abbreviation for defense is still SA, as if paramilitary. In my opinion, the best uniforms for serious work. th-cam.com/video/J2TfMJ_utnE/w-d-xo.html
It is now a certainty that Mark Felton is the most prominent and prestigious WWII historian on the internet. Every video is a gold chest of invaluable knowledge. To him goes this quote from Napoleon to his 9th foot light brigade: "INCOMPARABLE!"
Mark, your videos are really well made. I really appreciate the fact that you always talk extensively and you go in deep about the topics you cover. I've read a lot about WW2 yet by watching your video i always learn something new. Thank you for the quality content !
Was watching The Great Escape last night and was literally wondering this same question, and here is the answer the very next day. That is spooky. Thanks Mark 👍
I was watching your new video and a new story pops up , it put me in a state of confusion how I watch and listen at the same time but I came to the rationalization finish one and then the other so I can absorb the content. Thanks Mark.
I have to say that I have learned so much from Mark. I love his style of narration, informative, knowledgeable, interesting and often entertaining. Many, many thanks.
Thanks for saving and not rewriting history. As I've grown older all the vets I knew from ww2 have long since passed. There's no way to learn if not from a professor or scholar and no one is teaching this thorough history anymore and in fact I believe its discouraged by most institutions.So thank you sir and I'm subbed.
MARK FELTON- I've got a GREAT idea for you, you can extend the WW2 section of your videos by doing videos on the Vichy French "Milice" and the Ordnungspolizei, also the Russian auxiliary volunteer groups called "HIWIS"...
Thank you for the video! I wonder if you can cover the SS from after 34 up until 39. I've tried to follow its development but it can be very confusing as so many changes occurred in those years as Himmler and Heydrich swallowed up so many other police forces in Germany. Also, can anyone recommend a decent book on the development in the prewar SS?
I read somewhere that Himmler was obsessed with medieval German witches. He even had some historians gather as much history as they could on the subject.
Contrary to popular belief, the SS did not wear the black parade uniform after 1934 in local settings. Hollywood has fed this myth even during wartime, with films like Hitler’s Madmen(1943), depicting the SS in black uniforms at all times. This continues even today.
Mark do you have any podcasts or audio stories on a platform other than youtube? Id like to be able to listen on the move without having to have the youtube app open!
November 1921, the brawl at the Munich beer hall . . . why oh why did the bullets fired at Hitler not hit their mark with fatal consequences !!! Can you imagine how different history would have been, and how many millions of innocent lives would have been saved if Hitler was killed in that beer hall ?
Great talent you have. I wish you all the success! You have a “great product “( lol ...a business term) ie people are truly fascinated and repulsed by such an evil man), you deliver it in an artistic format, both visually and your orally. Your presentation is very interesting to listen to! You have a natural charisma and it shows! I wish such talent much success. Your “ business” but in your case your love and passion will be successful. It is obvious you do this not for the money but for social justice. If one is not greedy( something innate character ( lol) that we all struggle with... unfortunately for man) and one does what he loves and he does it with passion for the sheer joy of helping others than God will bless that effort!
I remember reading (decades ago) that the SS was so insignificant at the time of the Munich Putsch that the Wiemar government did not ban the SS as the SA was banned.
@@IrishCarney CAUTION -- Wikipedia Quote to follow (so it could be absolute nonsense): "By 1923, the Nazi Party (NSDAP) led by Adolf Hitler had created a small volunteer guard unit known as the Saal-Schutz (Hall Security) to provide security at their meetings in Munich.[4][5] The same year, Hitler ordered the formation of a small bodyguard unit dedicated to his personal service. He wished it to be separate from the "suspect mass" of the party, including the paramilitary Sturmabteilung ("Storm Battalion"; SA), which he did not trust."
@@rickarmknecht8903 Yes but it was not totally separate, as in fully independent of the SA. It was an elite unit within the SA that was meant to bypass the SA chain of command and report to Hitler directly. Not until 1934 and the Night of the Long Knives was the SS finally broken off from the SA and made totally separate.

How about a grand project of narrating all battles in order of their timeline in a specific theater in WW2? Sounds ambitious I know, but it sounds great too
Saw a news broadcast with a chief of police in Austria speaking about gun control and Covid face masks. Dressed all in black. Looked like an SS officer.
As Felton said, SS was short for Schutz Staffel, literally "Protection Squad". As for Gestapo, that was a kind of acronym for Geheime Staats Polizei, meaning "Secret State Police", taking the first few letters of each word
@@IrishCarney Thanks for your well explained information. It is a valuable treasure to listen and watch Dr. Felton. Here in San Antonio,TX since the 1950s I have had treasured experiences knowing and speaking to victims of the cruel side of humans in WW2. Chinese, Jews, Jehovah's Witnesses, Filipinos and the list goes on, and countless numbers of Veterans of WW2, and those on the home front. Would you share some of your experiences? Thanks again.
Yet another gullible dupe of the obviously false stupid Nazi trope that Communism was Jewish. In reality ALL minorities in the Russian Empire (including ethnic Germans) were disproportionately represented in revolutionary groups (including the Bolsheviks) because they had more grievances. Poles were more common than Jews in the Party. While two NKVD chiefs were Jewish, both were absolutely at the mercy of Stalin, a Georgian, who had both of them ousted, tortured, and murdered at his mad whim. After that, no Jews had any position of prominence in the USSR.
When I think of Himmler, I think of Mark Felton's description of his uniform and decorations, and I chuckle at the inferiority complex Himmler must have had compared to others who actually had combat experience and 'real' decorations.
Mark, the information you provide in this video very interesting, however it would have been more so if you had attached pictures of the people and various uniforms you describe.
Is it possible to change the picture in the video to something else, like a group photo. I somehow find the photo used here disturbing... it seems to glorify this evil man.
Other than the photo of him immediately after dying from a poison capsule, it's probably hard to find a photo of Himmler that isn't dignified, in uniform etc since who would have dared snap and publish anything else? Anyway despite his efforts and those of the official photographers he always looked sinister and goofy rather than impressive and charismatic. I don't think there's much chance of anyone seeing a Himmler photo and being swayed by THAT into his dark path, more likely they'd be repelled.
Is there any way to get these audio only programs in a podcast format? I would love to be able to listen to them as I'm out and about away from my computer. Thanks.
Himmler's photo in the thumbnail makes him look like a middle aged boy scout
