    Müller would have been aware of every hiding place and secret route. He was smart, calm, and calculating. He seems like the kind of person that would have considered escape possibilities long before. The fact that he wasn't a fan of Nazism or Communism it is not hard to believe he could keep a low profile after the war. Between his stature, and mindset, minus his eye coloration, Müller was as gray as it gets. His knowledge and practice of the spy tradecraft would have given him a huge advantage in escaping.

      Can't put it better myself. It's nice to not have the "history" documentaries on TV which often take the most outrageous, ridiculous theories and make them appear to be mainstream. Then there is one so-called history show which I describe as, "Never have so many taken so much time to accomplish so little." I could go on an on, but suffice it to say, Dr. Felton's presentation of real history minus anti-intellectual silliness and melodrama is a great pleasure.

Your documentary was 28 minutes long, his book is 748 pages long and you both came to the same conclusion, no one will ever know what happened to him. Keep up the good work.

    My French grandfather, a cinema owner in a northern town, was imprisoned by the Gestapo for a week because as an important local figure it was "his turn" to be arrested.
    Not sure of what crime was committed but that was irrelevant. The Gestapo had no chance of catching the right suspect so anyone would do.
    Sound bad?
    On returning home, his concerned family asked how it had been.
    He said he'd never laughed so much. He'd been locked up with other town notables - all friends - and they'd all played cards and told each other stories.
    It must be added this was in 1944, the Gestapo knew they were losing and had no interest in needlessly creating more enemies.
    But still, not the sort of story one normally associates with being jailed by the Gestapo!

    Müller was actually highly intelligent and possessed a photographic memory which is why his interrogation techniques were so successful. He simply waited for them to trip up with their fabricated stories as he remembered everything they ever said. He was the ideal police officer. He also hated the communists with a vengeance and would never allow himself to be captured by them and certainly never work for them.
    He would have been extremely valuable to the CIA or its predecessor as his knowledge of Soviet operations and his extensive spy network would just about be impossible to resist with the approaching Cold War. America rightly would deny all knowledge. Food for thought.

      Exactly. The OSS and Allen Dulles knew all about Müller and needed him in the era of Realpolitik of the Cold War for his knowledge of the Communist apparatus. He was used by the Americans and given cover in return, protected from the prying eyes of British, Israeli and other American intelligence agencies. Files remain sealed in both Langley and The National Archive UK.

      yeah I think he was way smarter than most of them, Muller would have seen the writing on the wall at least 2 yrs before 1945 and would have put his way out into plan. I always thought he ended up working for the Americans?

      I think you're absolutely spot on. This man had the entire Gestapo at his disposal, and he knew how to operate this apparatus with virtuosity. In addition, he most definitely had excellent connections, several depots in several countries with money and/or other valuables and ID cards for carefully created false identities. This man was able to disappear at any time, with ease, like a fart in the wind.

    8:45 Misch wrote in "Hitler's Last Witness" that the sight of Müller was a greater concern for him than the death of Hitler or the advancing Red Army. He thought that Müller planned to kill all the inhabitants of the Führerbunker at the last moment, thus leaving no witnesses of Hitler's last days. He even thought the bunker might be have been fitted with demolition charges during its construction.

    Coincidentally, I was researching Muller today, I was looking into the possibilities of him surviving the end of WW2. I believe it's possible he got away and fled. I wouldn't say he fled to Argentina specifically as since he was calculating he might have been able to deduce he would be hunted there and decided to avoid it to cover his tracks. He might have gone to Chile

    Since Truman made a comment about the CIA: “I never would have agreed to the formulation of the Central Intelligence Agency back in forty-seven, if I had known it would become the American Gestapo.” and Allen Dulles who was head of the CIA as well a part of Operation Paperclip, I would say it isn't impossible that Heinrich Muller ended his days as a retired employee of the US government under Operation Paperclip as one of the architects of the CIA.

    Wow. What a great piece of work this is. I love reading everything about the “European” part of WW2, especially the war at the East-front and all the horrors surrounding it. And also the Russian Revolution, civil war and Stalin’s rise to diabolical power are very interesting to me. As for documentaries however, I didn’t find nearly as much interesting stuff as I found in the library. There are some absolutely phenomenal documentaries but there’s also a lot of questionable stuff out there.
    But the videos on this channel are not just 100% accurate, often I learn something new that I had never read in books. And that’s very, very rare. It’s practically always the other way around.
    So Bravo for mr.Felton. This channel is an absolute enrichment for TH-cam 👍👍👍

  • @lostwojak2554

    The fact that he was not an extreme ideologist, as we learn from this video, he seemed to focus primarily on his work. As head of the Gestapo, surely he was most aware of the state of affairs and probably caught on pretty early on the fact that it was only a matter of time before the Allies came knocking on their front door. Thats more than enough time for for such an important figure with abundant resources and loyal personnel to divise an escape plan. Also I would like to point out that through his experience, he and his department found tens of thousands of people, if not more. He basically saw every trick in the book on how to avoid captivity. Why would he carry his identification papers with him? If he had his escape planned out, the people who would assist him have surely been with him for some time, probably his most loyal officers and soldiers and Im positive that those people got either money or gold to make it worth their while and ensure them an easier time after escaping.
    Lastly, if he truly was found by the Soviets, the belongings of the head of the Gestapo would sit lovely in a display at the Kremlin.
