Youtube comments of Mark Felton Productions (@MarkFeltonProductions).

  1. NOTE - I mistakenly said that Operation Barbarossa began on 22 June 1942, when I meant to say '1941'. Please don't feel that you have to point this out in the comments section! Many thanks.
    4800
  2. With my voice currently affected by the flu, this video doesn't have a VoiceOver. The images tell a thousand stories!
    3500
  3. I'm releasing this a little early in the UK as its already VE-Day in Australia, New Zealand, India and many parts east. Enjoy.
    3200
  4. So glad so many of you spotted my deliberate mistake concerning Hitler's marriage - glad to see so many are paying attention!
    2600
  5. Two errors in the video - I mistakenly said Bhutan was part of China, obviously I meant Tibet, and I mislabelled the Afghan embassy in Berlin as 'Kabul'. Apologies!
    2400
  6. Thanks for the lovely comments. I notice that many people leaving kind comments are not yet subscribed. Please do so - it helps me a lot!
    1800
  7. True - and the list is endless
    1700
  8. People are always surprised to learn that many of the army officers involved in the bomb plot against Hitler had blood on their hands from atrocities they had overseen, particularly on the Eastern Front.
    1600
  9. NOTE - I made a typo calling the Avro Vulcan a 'Vulvan'. Repeat - TYPO! I used the correct name verbally. Doesn't require pointing out in every third comment! Thanks for your patience.
    1600
  10. To anyone complaining about a British person using 'Mailman' instead of 'Postman', the majority of my audience are Americans, and video titles are naturally tailored to the US market. Other than that, please enjoy the programme (British spelling!)...
    1400
  11. I had to take this video down briefly due to a technical issue. It is, as you can now see, back up. Apologies for the inconvenience and thanks for your patience.
    1300
  12. My voice is almost back to normal, so commentary will recommence on the next video. In the meantime, this is very interesting!
    1200
  13. PATTON'S PISTOLS - I mistakenly called them 'Pearl-handled' when they were 'Ivory-handled'. I hope the more pedantic of you can forgive this small error and enjoy the video without tediously pointing this out ad nauseum. Many thanks!
    1200
  14. Then my aim is achieved.
    1100
  15. NOTE - I accidentally referred to the Allies and Axis in this video, when I meant Allies and CENTRAL POWERS - Made too many WWII videos! Please don't feel obliged to point this out as its rather tedious.
    1000
  16. I think its a national disgrace!
    1000
  17. VIDEO CORRECTION: When I say the Croatian PM said there was a danger the drone could have struck a Croatian nuclear power station I misspoke when quoting the original Croatian-language article. He said the drone could have struck a Hungarian nuclear power station, causing a serious incident. Here's the original article: https://www.index.hr/clanak.aspx?id=2346716
    994
  18. Yes, the Kaiser dropped a few clangers in his time - one of the reasons why he was sidelined before WW1.
    960
  19. CONCENTRATION LAPSE! I have mistakenly called the 2003 Invasion of Iraq 'Desert Storm' - please disregard this error. No need to keep pointing it out in the comments! Apologies to all veterans of the 2003 campaign!
    934
  20. I used to lecture at Shanghai and Fudan Universities. Great fun and lovely students.
    926
  21. Thank you kindly
    867
  22. My condolences to you and your family.
    822
  23. You are not far wrong!
    787
  24. I didn't know that.
    761
  25. That's what everyone called it
    751
  26. I agree - damned bean counting pencil pushers!
    750
  27. I had the same feeling myself - so nondescript for somewhere of considerable historical importance.
    748
  28. I haven't included Soviet aircraft as I was unable to find any up-to-date figures for this video, and the same goes for Italian fighters as well.
    746
  29. Probably. He would have liked that.
    732
  30. Bit tired of the comments suggesting this story is a Soviet fabrication or I am repeating said propaganda. The original story comes from GERMAN sources - specifically the memoir of 6th Panzer Division commander General Erhard Raus!
    730
  31. Considering that the British troops were mostly Burma Campaign veterans, I'm surprised shots were not exchanged between them!
    713
  32. Special thanks to BEGAFILM for permission to use clips from their production 'Hitler's Bunker on the Obersalzberg - The Berghof Bunker', and for providing restored footage of the 101st Airborne Division at Obersalzberg. I urge all my fans to visit their channel for amazing historical footage of the Berchtesgaden Nazi buildings and bunkers, and much more...https://www.youtube.com/@BEGAFILMHISTORYINMOTION
    697
  33. You guessed correctly my friend.
    689
  34. CORRECTION: The USS Augusta was a cruiser, not a battleship as I incorrectly said in the video.
    641
  35. NOTE: When I list the recent examples of regime-change in the Middle East, my use of the word 'SUCCESSFUL' is entirely ironic. Perhaps my British humour is not travelling well with some viewers. Thanks.
    634
  36. Here's a video I made that answers your question: https://youtu.be/T_y71_XhQqA
    620
  37. CORRECTION: In the video I mention that three of these balloons entered US airspace during the Trump administration. I understand that this has not been officially confirmed, so please disregard this as a research error on my part. The short Chinese balloon part of the video is based on sources emanating from a fast-moving and fluid ongoing news story, unlike the historical Japanese part of my video. Many thanks.
    608
  38. ERROR - I said the Olympic Stadium in Munich when I meant to say Berlin. Apologies!
    604
  39. My condolences to you and your family.
    594
  40. My paternal grandfather lied about his age to join up and spent his 18th birthday in a slit trench in Burma with the Japanese shooting at him. I was lucky, I grew up with two combat veteran grandfathers and I remember all their stories. I miss men of that generation - they all seem to be gone now.
    581
  41. I guess that's why they give him to Croix de Guerre!
    579
  42. STUPID ERROR ALERT: I keep saying HMS Illustrious when I meant to say HMS Invincible. Please forgive this forced error!
    569
  43. Common problem in modern Germany - see my video on the Obersalzberg!
    567
  44. Please pass on my best wishes to your Grandpa - he might just be my oldest viewer!
    564
  45. Works for me.
    534
  46. My grandfather told me stories about them doing just that during the fighting in Burma - the Japanese would also call out in English to his unit at night, pretending to be wounded Brits calling for help. Jitter tactics.
    519
  47. I'm ambitious!
    516
  48. Finally, someone spotted it!
    483
  49. Thanks for your kind remarks
    479
  50. I think its important to provide some balance, as you say, and the sterling efforts of the Red Army in defeating Hitler are often ignored in the West, shamefully in my opinion.
    473
  51. Their sons became good friends.
    468
  52. I didn't know that! I would love to have interviewed him
    444
  53. MISTAKE!!! - you hear me say 'Bundesheer' several times in the video. I should have just said 'Here' when referring only to the West German Army. Please forgive this error!
    443
  54. Heinkel III medium or heavy? Lots of you think I've made an error terming the He III a heavy bomber. I haven't. It is clearly listed as 'heavy' in multiple publications, including Ron MacKay's 2003 book on this aircraft. I admit that in comparison with later Allied heavy bombers, it carries a smaller bomb load, but the classification predates these later planes.  Secondly, many have pointed out the lack of flying boat bombers included in this video - I intend to make a separate video on this special classification of heavy maritime bomber in the future, so I hope you look forward to that.
    437
  55. Many thanks for your very kind comments.
    430
  56. Made you jump hopefully
    419
  57. Reloaded due to YouTube inexplicably slapping an age restriction on the video! Apologies!
    402
  58. My own Chief Mouser Molly also enjoyed this one!
    401

  63. Dziękuję bardzo. Mój dziadek służył pod Monte Cassino i wiele razy opowiadał mi, kiedy byłem chłopcem, o męstwie polskich żołnierzy, którzy w końcu je zdobyli. Pamiętam jego słowa. Pamiętam też jako dziecko, że polscy weterani w średnim wieku nadal pracowali na budowach w Wielkiej Brytanii, nie mogąc wrócić do domu. Staram się zrobić wszystko, co w mojej mocy, aby uhonorować dług, jaki mój kraj ma wobec was podczas II wojny światowej.
    393
  64. Pearl handled would have been his style as well!
    393
  65. There were so many Type XXI's laying about that we could afford to overlook the ones in the bunker.
    390
  66. Przynajmniej tyle mogę zrobić.
    383
  67. I'm very pleased to read this
    373
  68. Precisely. It was a Cold War misinformation campaign against the West, and it's still working.

  73. I made this video today - took me four hours. I have nothing stored except a long list of rough video ideas on a notepad. The videos you see were normally all made over one or two days, depending on length, content and complexity. I enjoy the process, as I also enjoy researching and writing full length books.

  77. If you were clever, you would drip feed them onto the market rather than flood the place all at once. And I think demand among collectors would still keep the price high even if all released at once.
    307
  78. Thanks - very kind of you

    267
  89. Firearms are not 'banned'. I'm a fully-licenced firearms owner and British at the same time! But they do make it very difficult to own certain types of weapons that most Americans can own its ease.

  93. "Flaming Brass Balls"
    248
  94. I'm surprised such a building is not protected by law, as many are here in the UK, particularly if of architectural or historical interest.
    246
  95. A fact that sadly has escaped many of the people commenting on this video!
    245
  96. Wow, thank you!

  120. I think it was because Polkinghorn took away the Japanese officers' face - a big no-no in Asia
    196
  121. Right. I must do something about the Brazilian Expeditionary Force. Almost unknown today.
    191
  122. I've been working on a story concerning the BPF, and it will be coming out over the next few months.
    191
  123. Actually, several subscribers suggested I investigate this story, and I'm glad that they did!
    190

    169
  134. Yes, a bit overshadowed by the SAS. Another was the Small Scale Raiding Force (I feel another video coming on!)
    169
  135. That's interesting - the last official record of South China Tigers in the NT was in the 1970s. Having been there myself, I could imagine a small population still surviving.

  252. Singapore was a dreadful and easily avoided cock-up. So few veterans left now who witnessed the horror of Japanese captivity, and who were so shamefully denied meaningful compensation after the war.

  277. Fascinating story about your grandfather - I'll look into it. I was filmed for a documentary aboard the Wilhelm Bauer, and had free reign of the vessel afterwards. I also had the privilege of walking through U-534 after it was raised and brought to Birkenhead, UK, and before it was chopped up for display. That was seriously eerie! Real ghost ship feeling!

The aristocracy always pronounce things strangely in order to identify interlopers. For example, Princess Diana's parents' pile Althorp House is pronounced 'All trop'.

  338. I have to agree, but being an officer, he didn't want to place an NCO in a difficult situation where he felt compelled to agree to break the rules because of the Baron's rank of Flight Lieutenant.
    44
  339. One witness for the defence was British hero 'The White Rabbit', Wing Commander Yeo Thomas, who stated that he and SOE had done the same as Skorzeny.
    43
  340. Not bad for a 61 year old
    43

    43

    40
  355. Me too - have you got the book Special Edition with tons of extra material Higgins put back in. Well worth tracking down.

  356. My maternal grandfather was also at Monte Cassino, with the British Army - he often spoke with admiration about how the Poles eventually took that terrible place.
    39

  361. I certainly had the hottest curry of my life when the battalion's RSM plucked me from the line on a visit to the Sergeant's Mess one evening and fetched the goat curry for me himself, adding some kind of red powder to it. I recall I downed 7 pints of very cold lager trying to eat it with Gurkha NCOs chatting to me on each side the entire time, and I was still stone cold sober at the end! And I finished the damned thing, which I think impressed my dining companions!

  385. The "Spandau Ballet" was a nickname the executioners used at Nuremberg for when they hanged war criminals, due to their jerking around on the end of the rope. The band used this for their name.

  428. As I mention in the video, the time U-530 was lingering in Argentinian waters was winter in the Antarctic. Who builds a base that's only accessible by sea for half the year? No U-Boat skipper would go hundreds of km beneath an ice sheet. That's the essential problem with theories based on the Antarctic - its one of the most hostile environments on earth. Argentina, however, well thats another story...

  439. Yup, today its 'Huangpu' but the hilarious pronunciation hasn't changed. I crossed it many times during the decade I spent living in Shanghai.
    25
  440. I've been looking at Grenada, trying to find a good story.
    25
  441. It was entirely plausible - I think the Soviets probably could have captured Hokkaido, but not much further. Sakhalin Island, once Japanese, is now Russian because of Operation Autumn Storm.
    24
  442. I believe you are wrong
    24
  443. My absolute pleasure
    24
  444. Mark last seen walking into the sea muttering to himself...
    24
  445. You are very welcome
    24
  446. I expect so
    24
  447. This is a version of events I have never heard, and I received much information directly from Iraqi royal sources.
    24
  448. It was a very hard book to write, and I'd already written several on Japanese war crimes, POWs, etc.
    24
  449. Because it's my channel and why not!!
    24
  450. That is what I was told - though I find it hard to believe.
    23
  451. I often visit Berchtesgaden - lovely town and scenery.
    23
  452. The Vienna Academy of Fine Arts suggested to Hitler that he should study architecture instead, but his education was too low to enter a school. Thanks for watching!
    23
  453. Please explain your odd comment
    23
  454. You are referencing the problems with a land invasion - the Russians are more than capable of sending aircraft to the edge of British airspace constantly, so it follows that launching the attack I've outlined is perfectly feasible.
    23
  455. So glad
    23
  456. Yes, there were some in the Baltic states region.
    23
  457. I have great affection for Canada - spent some wonderful research trips there in the early 2000s.
    23
  458. Apply for his service records through the Ministry of Defence.
    23
  459. Glad you enjoyed it
    23
  460. So, you're not interested in any of this? Strange attitude for someone haunting the comments section of a military history channel.
    22
  461. Pardon?
    22
  462. You are too kind
    22
  463. I'm not talking about an invasion, but a few cruise missiles could certainly head our way.
    22
  464. Actually, I used the British and American pronunciations depending which nationality I was talking about.
    22
  465. I certainly will!
    22
  466. Can he email me his story? I've collected a lot of guards stories thus far. I'd be interested in his opinions of Hess's last day etc. hello@markfelton.co.uk
    22
  467. True - I feel more videos coming on...
    22
  468. Sorry!
    21
  469. In order to disguise the fact that 11 bodies equating to 11 executed war criminals left the Palace of Justice for cremation
    21
  470. I practiced several times - Polish is very tricky!
    21
  471. And some with Red Army forces I believe - Lend-Lease.
    21
  472. Sorry, couldn't find a photo of an Italian MP unit in US uniform.
    21
  473. Happy Birthday!
    21
  474. Fear of offending the Palace I expect.
    21
  475. Thanks for sharing. My paternal grandfather was also in the Fourteenth Army in Burma! 2nd Battalion, The Suffolk Regiment. He also told me so many hair-raising stories of fighting the Japanese at Imphal and Kohima. He died in 2013 aged 87.
    21
  476. Thanks - it was a well made production
    21
  477. Perhaps watch the video before something into the title. It concerns an event from 1946!
    21
  478. As far as I know. The pilot of the rammed Dornier later died of his injuries.
    21
  479. The Allied officers who dealt with Himmler could speak passable German, and many of the NCOs were actually Germans in the British Army or reasonably fluent in the language, hence being in the Intelligence Corps.
    21
  480. The Japanese embassy was evacuated to Bavaria before the Soviets reached Berlin. The empty embassy building in Berlin was heavily damaged during the fighting that followed.
    21
  481. Interesting - I will investigate this! Thanks.
    21
  482. Actually, one of the reasons I was denied a particular file was because it was believed one of the accused soldiers was still alive!
    21
  483. Watch then apologise!
    21
  484. I have an aversion to waffle!
    21
  485. Glad someone spotted that - it was Starmer's 1000-yard stare that got me!
    21
  486. It is real
    21
  487. Two death masks exist, taken by British Army dentists examining the corpse. We only have this one because one dentist secretly kept it until donating it to a museum decades later.
    20
  488. I'm being topical moron
    20
  489. Well, my friend, what Hitler wore was actually loaded with symbolism and messages. As an historian who's written several books about Hitler and the Nazis I think its a valid area of research. However, if you don't agree, you are quite welcome to jog on.
    20
  490. Which is what I said!
    20
  491. It doesn't bear thinking about - imagine a few on Iwo Jima or Okinawa! Yikes!
    20
  492. The last two you name were ships of the Tribal-class.
    20
  493. Wow, thanks
    20
  494. I know it well - I'm from Colchester originally and often walked on West Mersea beach.
    20
  495. Perhaps they should have put him on trial for Dora-Mittelbau AFTER you lot landed on the Moon?
    20
  496. You are very welcome
    20
  497. Thanks - though not a patch on The Wild Geese, I still enjoyed Wild Geese II. Can't beat cheesy '80s thrillers, particularly those set in occupied Berlin!
    20
  498. Much appreciated!
    20
  499. 2025
    20
  500. Steady on, old bean!
    19
  501. Already have
    19
  502. Excuse me - I never said Reza Shah was a Nazi supporter - quite the opposite in fact. The British used this term to smear him and provide an excuse to invade his country.
    19
  503. Many thanks for your kind comments and for giving me such a memorable day!
    19
  504. If they remake it, it will be a horrid CGI-fest.
    19
  505. 'Hardened SS officer and accountant"
    19
  506. Yes, they did indeed, and they served in the UK and Europe.
    19
  507. British made 'piece of junk', I'll have you know!
    19
  508. A pleasure
    19
  509. You are too kind!
    19
  510. Chamberlain was rather stooped and Hitler was wearing jackboots which added a few cm.
    19
  511. I made a mistake in the narration - thought it best to correct early on!
    19
  512. Thanks for watching
    19
  513. Chin up!
    18
  514. I think you might want to read up a bit more on Rosenberg and his activities.
    18
  515. 301.3km to Stay, St. Kilda, Scotland 423.2km to Tory Island, County Donegal, Ireland The maths is self explanatory.
    18
  516. You are quite right - I always forget because of the way Josef is written as 'Iosef'.
    18
  517. Thanks
    18
  518. Actually, it was blown up by the Bavarian Government in 1952!
    18
  519. Thanks a lot
    18
  520. And a cemetery!
    18
  521. Sound advice!
    18
  522. It's on the to-do list.
    18
  523. Thanks, will do!
    18
  524. I'll look into it!
    18
  525. I try!
    18
  526. A pleasure
    18
  527. That film was a pile of stinking crap and I wish I'd demanded a refund at the cinema!
    18
  528. Why do you think I have a problem with that? Try watching the video first!
    18
  529. I made a video about the Paras during the Suez Crisis.
    18
  530. Many thanks
    18
  531. Thanks - working on Part 2
    18
  532. Happy birthday!
    18
  533. I'll try.
    18
  534. A passport he obtained fraudulently - which was the basis for the legal argument over whether he could be tried for treason against Britain or not.
    18
  535. Happy new year!
    17
  536. I lived in China for 10 years, and the summers were murderous (though air con was at least everywhere!), and I went to Japan in all seasons as well. Some fascinating military museums in Asia.
    17
  537. Hollywood has already come calling, twice, for my books!
    17
  538. Already have.
    17
  539. I've written 20 books
    17
  540. Helge - to be fair some Americans have been called 'Marion'.
    17
  541. Well said
    17
  542. The legend is true!
    17
  543. History books
    17
  544. Apologies to my Dutch fans - I can manage German pronunciation but Dutch is damned tricky. No offence intended.
    17
  545. No, it was stolen and hoarded by both Goring and also the Rosenberg unit in various castles and mines
    17
  546. I didn't see any cats, only horses!
    17
  547. I imagine I will have a long grey beard by the time this comes out the ground - bureaucracy will probably kill the excavation for decades.
    17
  548. That was also covered up for decades!
    17
  549. Me too!
    17
  550. I agree
    17
  551. Yes, and the full film is available online free. Highly recommended.
    16
  552. I have written several books about Hitler (hence my knowledge of this subject), Nazi war criminals and the Holocaust, not to mention many books about escapes from German and Japanese prison camps. My latest book, Ghost Riders, is about a US Army operation to rescue the Spanish Riding School. I suggest you do your homework before making veiled insinuations.
    16
  553. I have never been political in my videos - I only discuss well-documented events. It's called 'history'.
    16
  554. Don't forget the oil - I'm sure that was a big reason too.
    16
  555. Thanks. No assistants - just little old me!
    16
  556. The building was being handed back to the East German authorities, and there was a concern in Moscow that the site would become a shrine or that someone might exhume the bones.
    16
  557. I agree - he was probably an intelligence asset.
    16
  558. You're not wrong!
    16
  559. Lee Enfields I believe, plus Bren guns and Stens. Basically the same kit and weapons as at Arnhem.
    16
  560. Japanese subs were the biggest.
    16
  561. I have never made 'propaganda' - you must be confused with an inferior channel!
    16
  562. Young? I'm 50 in May! But thanks anyway.
    16
  563. Thanks - no, I'll have to check this Indy chap out.
    16
  564. My programme list is very long!
    16
  565. Thanks very much
    16
  566. Thanks - we are getting there!
    16
  567. Already made the video a couple of months ago
    16
  568. They were more deadly, and more destructive.
    15
  569. I don't think she expected the 11 Americans to be brutalised and murder - rather just taken prisoner. I imagine she would have been shocked by such behaviour, considering her own son would also become a prisoner-of-war of the Allies.
    15
  570. Thanks - usually every tin pot dictator is a colonel or general!
    15
  571. My speciality!
    15
  572. I've heard that possible his hat band was metal. It is also believed that Hitler was routinely armed.
    15
  573. Suez will figure later
    15
  574. Between June and December 1941, the 'Allies' were primarily the British Empire & Commonwealth and the Soviet Union! How am I wrong? America was supplying Lend-Lease before officially becoming involved in the war, and was a de facto Ally of the above two!
    15
  575. Thank you for watching
    15
  576. The losses of submarines was very high compared with U-boats at the same time.
    15
  577. You will, eventually!
    15
  578. Me too!
    15
  579. Thanks
    15
  580. But a very diverse collection
    15
  581. Thank you very much
    15
  582. That was the main drawback with Hitler's plan, trying to maintain an armoured advance by capturing US fuel dumps!
    15
  583. Yes, I researched that thoroughly years ago in the British archives - we also begged the Americans for access to Shiro Ishii's research, some of it from human experimentation on US, British and Australian POWs! A moral vacuum existed on both sides in the Cold War.
    15
  584. Fascinating
    15
  585. Glad you enjoyed the video.
    15
  586. Wow, thank you!
    15
  587. He didn't - Fegelein was shot the day before Hitler married Eva.
    15
  588. I am a man of contradictions!
    15
  589. I agree with you. It was a classic ambush by Ekins Firefly, catching the Tigers in the flank from fairly close range and through their thinner side armour. The Sherbrooke's claim a frontal shot against the thickest armour. Ekins was very specific and there were plenty of witnesses in the A Squadron tanks who watched this go down. Unfortunately, this one will probably never be settled satisfactorily between the British and the Canadians, and I expect it will generate a lot of debate on here.
    14
  590. Or perhaps was given to the French - they had a entire Panther unit postwar.
    14
  591. I expect they will.
    14
  592. He is very interesting, and I expect I will one day. I believe he was alive until relatively recently.
    14
  593. Why would I in a video about a bomb in Exeter? Troll off...
    14
  594. Thanks - I just love history!
    14
  595. Happy birthday!
    14
  596. Thanks for that
    14
  597. Very much appreciated!
    14
  598. Rita Hayworth - noted Hollywood star.
    14
  599. Actually, my sources were all published media and defence analysts reports. People are often just lazy in searching out sources for themselves, and cross referencing them to deduce what's actually going on.
    14
  600. It's Operation 'Paraquet' which is another spelling for 'Parakeet'.
    14
  601. Absolutely
    14
  602. So kind. Thanks for watching.
    14
  603. Happy Birthday!
    14
  604. It's my pleasure
    14
  605. He was flamboyant - its not a criticism. He revelled in such a word. Look at the way he dressed and spoke if you don't believe me. Another tiresome attempt to paint me as anti-American, even though I have made many, many videos about US victories and bravery in battle.
    14
  606. I never suggested that the entire Ukrainian army was the same as the Azov Battalion!
    13
  607. Very kind, and many thanks
    13
  608. Thanks!
    13
  609. No, only real soldiers.
    13
  610. Good luck with your exam!
    13
  611. It is coming...
    13
  612. Thanks, you too!
    13
  613. Precisely
    13
  614. There were two Irishmen who served in the SS that we know about.
    13
  615. Technically it still is - Charles von Saxe-Coburg und Gotha.
    13
  616. I'm not sure he was a qualified pilot - I think he just took over from his pilot once airborne - rather like Mussolini.
    13
  617. It is completely accurate to the subject! What is everyone talking about and watching today - stuff about the US election or Trump. I give you an historic incident that occurred at one of the buildings Trump now owns and renamed after himself. And you get to watch it for free! Now I'm annoyed!
    13
  618. He was 19 when he was awarded the Knight's Cross.
    13
  619. You would have thought that if the Germans had UFOs, they would have actually won the war.
    13
  620. You wish
    13
  621. I'm quite human, I can assure you!
    13
  622. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed
    13
  623. Read a book?
    13
  624. Many thanks, and greeting from the fine cathedral city of Norwich!
    13
  625. My birthday was in May - but I am 50 unfortunately!
    13
  626. I was there in October '23 as well!
    13
  627. I have to pick words for video titles that are catchy to appeal to the widest audience. I am perfectly aware of the linguistic distinction.
    13
  628. Make them
    13
  629. I wasn't referring to the actual Doolittle Raid as being forgotten - best watch the video
    13
  630. As I said - he returned to India in 1915 and joined the Indian National Congress, which my sentence suggests already existed before Gandhi joined it!
    13
  631. Will do
    12
  632. Because it doesn't fit with the long held myth of Italian military incompetence. You should check out the video I made about Italian frogmen.
    12
  633. And I believe Turkey as well.
    12
  634. Covered in a different video
    12
  635. So kind
    12
  636. Interestingly, Japanese tank officers did carry their swords inside their vehicles!
    12
  637. Dutch - both of them!
    12
  638. Don't get your history from Netflix.
    12
  639. I am completely British - born and bred. I never said I was Armenian.
    12
  640. You are right - I visited many of the famous battle locations when I lived in Shanghai.
    12
  641. Well done!
    12
  642. That part of the film was actually based on this escape.
    12
  643. I think I'll use the description "it was flying fairly quickly" from now on to avoid the miles vs. km complaints!
    12
  644. Yes the Syrians had quite a bit of Soviet armour, the German kit largely held in reserve on the Golan Heights as I explain in the film
    12
  645. And some are still there today!
    12
  646. Your kind comments are much appreciated!
    12
  647. Thanks for sharing - always great to hear these kinds of stories. Please pass on my best to your father.
    12
  648. My only experience of flying Aeroflot!
    12
  649. Makes you think about where it's been and what it's seen.
    12
  650. Many thanks, you are too kind!
    12
  651. Indeed. Who needs Bazookas and Panzerfausts when you can use a bloody big spring - job done!
    12
  652. I remember both my grandfathers expressed choice words when asked about Churchill, and one had even met him in North Africa. Unlike you or I, they both served in WWII.
    12
  653. Yes, there was communication. However, it's difficult to tell whether MI6 was 'playing' Himmler to goad him into toppling Hitler, or whether peace feelers were being taken seriously at Downing Street. I covered some of this in several previous videos.
    12
  654. Thanks for your kind comments - much appreciated
    12
  655. No, I watched Goldeneye on release at the cinema in 1995, before this Intraweb nonsense caught on!
    12
  656. 4.5 million Ukrainians served in the four Ukrainian Fronts, the 1st fighting in the Battle of Berlin. In fact, in 1944, 40% of the Red Army were Ukrainians!
    11
  657. A photo of the dead Himmler - I broke YT rules!
    11
  658. No, it is open to researchers. I gather that most of the 'historians' think the collections don't contain anything of value. Interesting position!
    11
  659. Sadly, they almost always don't receive the same audience as for the ETO. I wish they did, then I'd make a lot more. But thanks for watching!
    11
  660. That's not the point - the point is the amount of things she was privy to because of her working and perhaps personal relationship with Bormann, and what she saw in the Bunker.
    11
  661. Thank you - this channel shall remain a fluff free zone!
    11
  662. We must never forget.
    11
  663. Research
    11
  664. Because they are of historical interest - these things happened, and trying to pretend otherwise presents a very one-sided view of history.
    11
  665. One of my favourite books and films!
    11
  666. Volkssturm were issued with lots of captured kit.
    11
  667. If you were clever, you would drip feed them onto the market rather than flood the place all at once. And I think demand among collectors would still keep the price high even if all released at once.
    11
  668. Thousands of Poles escaped to Britain where they were formed into their own units under British control. And don't forget the Polish fighter pilots who fought valiantly during the Battle of Britain in Polish-only RAF squadrons (I should also mention the Czechs, Norwegians, Danes and reps of every other Nazi-occupied country in Europe!).
    11
  669. The little propeller was used to generate electrical current for the cockpit.
    11
  670. My pleasure!
    11
  671. Perhaps watch the video before reading something into the title. It concerns an event from 1946!
    11
  672. I would have to disagree with you!
    11
  673. I've done a couple of Japanese parachute ops. But good idea.
    11
  674. Thanks. Hope you feel better soon!
    11
  675. I've already made a video about surplus US WWII artillery pieces supplied to Ukraine, and a video about Ukraine's Afghan Army helicopters via the US, not to mention several videos about the Ukrainian SS that created quite a stir long before the Canadian Parliament fiasco, so enough of the 'propagandist' jibes if you don't mind. I've tried to show interesting stories from both sides of this conflict!
    11
  676. My condolences to you and your family.
    11
  677. Exeter was a cruiser now long gone (I think you are referring to Belfast, also not a battleship) and Victory is a 1st Rate Man of War.
    11
  678. He never gave any speeches and certainly wasn't recorded chatting.
    11
  679. Steady on!
    11
  680. Proudly my own work
    11
  681. Actually, one Stinger missile currently costs just under $120,000, so that's still considerably more expensive than a second-hand An-2.
    11
  682. I think some of it comes from having two WW2 combat-veteran grandfathers who both knew how to tell great stories, coupled with growing up in a garrison town.
    11
  683. I've even been to Calgary!
    11
  684. I would call it more a statement of fact.
    11
  685. They would have received the Defence Medal for service over a certain time period in the UK only, and I imagine the 1939-45 Star and France & Germany Star for their service in Europe.
    11
  686. Actually, they got along okay. I think Eisenhower wasn't enamoured of either men.
    11
  687. I tried to clear it up using various tweaks, but it was pretty awful. Best I could manage.
    10
  688. Please pass along my best wishes for a happy new year to your grandfather - I will certainly cover this subject in the future.
    10
  689. Due to the Germans now operating within Germany itself in late 1944, the military telephone system was used more than encrypted radio, causing ULTRA intelligence to decrease markedly. We couldn't intercept telephone calls or hand-delivered courier notes.
    10
  690. 'Fasces' are the bundles of sticks used in Fascist symbols.
    10
  691. Some of the dead Red Army soldiers buried there were from the 1st Ukrainian Front - just to add some perspective.
    10
  692. Same to you!
    10
  693. I appreciate that!
    10
  694. Well done! You are officially first.
    10
  695. Better change your thumbnail pronto!
    10
  696. There may be a second video as the first is by no means an exhaustive list.
    10
  697. Already made a video about it.
    10
  698. The Soviets invaded both regions.
    10
  699. May I kindly suggest that you "retreat from whence you came".
    10
  700. Yawn
    10
  701. Pleasure
    10
  702. You are right, error made!
    10
  703. No - Himmler's father worked for the Bavarian royal family.
    10
  704. Everywhere
    10
  705. I do have enough material for a book, but no longer to time to write it!
    10
  706. Nothing - the British and Americans were bound by agreements to only consider unconditional surrender alongside their Soviet ally.
    10
  707. I think they were excited to be in Paris!
    10
  708. That was Patton.
    10
  709. He was renowned for running up unpaid bills.
    10
  710. Thank you for those kind words - I love to make videos that I hope both inform and entertain.
    10
  711. Many thanks
    10
  712. I'm just trying to appeal to the maximum audience and 'train' is more widely understood by the average viewer all over the world.
    10
  713. Not at all, but it just so happens that a lot of people we ended up fighting had been supplied with British equipment by previous governments!
    10
  714. Last time in air-to-air combat, not all combat. For instance, we lost 5 Tornado's to SAMs and AA fire during Gulf War 1 in 1991.
    10
  715. Thanks
    10
  716. I'm looking into it
    10
  717. The tower is called The Trump Building, and I discussed an historical event attached to this building during a time when everyone is discussing Trump. What's wrong with you?
    10
  718. Perhaps watch the video before reading something into the title. It concerns an event from 1946!
    10
  719. Stay tuned
    10
  720. King Michael died in 2017
    10
  721. I'm afraid I started work on this BEFORE the events in Belfast today. But history is history.
    10
  722. I hope you and your brother turn out to be negative. My best wishes to you both.
    10
  723. All it needed was a Gallic shrug!
    10
  724. I think both sides were guilty of attacking such aircraft.
    10
  725. Unfortunately, finding footage of every event that I make programmes about it next to impossible due to the fact that army cameramen were not at every single action. I try my best to find 'relevant' footage. It is then up to viewers to use their imaginations a little.
    10
  726. Ich freue mich sehr über Ihre freundlichen Kommentare. Vielen Dank.
    10
  727. Happy birthday!
    10
  728. Hugh Thomas, Welsh surgeon. Interesting theory.
    10
  729. You couldn't be further from the truth.
    10
  730. Thank you
    10
  731. Evidence?
    10
  732. Just what I was thinking
    10
  733. Jog on
    9
  734. It was a feeling shared by many Allied ex-POWs at the time and for long after the war.
    9
  735. I have seen it when visiting Ely.
    9
  736. My channel's purpose is the promulgation of history
    9
  737. For several years!
    9
  738. Its actually in the works so watch this space
    9
  739. Not according to my sources. We can agree to differ or nitpick for bragging rights - your call.
    9
  740. Queen Elizabeth's uncle, not father!
    9
  741. Yes, a Field Marshal's standard common to all German officers of that rank.
    9
  742. I've done the weather stations, but Spitzbergen might be a go.
    9
  743. I don't sell the books myself, they are sold by my publishers via bookshops and online. I do have a few short stories and one full length book called 'The Bridge Busters' that I self-published, available on Amazon.
    9
  744. That's great to hear!
    9
  745. They were found among General von Stulpnagel's effects by his family.
    9
  746. I was referring to the war in the Western Desert where no Americans fought.
    9
  747. Hussah!
    9
  748. I always try to!
    9
  749. Actually the Paris Gun could fire shells to a maximum altitude of 42.3km (26.3 miles), well below the V-2, and not above the NASA definition of space.
    9
  750. We also used Japanese troops in the Dutch East Indies in 1945-46 - might do a video about that also.
    9
  751. Idiot.
    9
  752. Thank you! 😊
    9
  753. Thanks for watching!
    9
  754. Already made it.
    9
  755. Google them!
    9
  756. I've written about them in my book 'The Real Tenko'.
    9
  757. One of my favourite subjects too
    9
  758. If Russia attacked the UK, they would already be in a war with us and NATO over Ukraine - it would be an extension of the war in Europe.

  760. Wakes you all up!
    9
  761. A pleasure
    9
  762. Very kind of you to say
    9
  763. It is - you are reading too much into a HISTORY video.
    9
  764. In the future
    9
  765. I think you will find that Scottish people are British, just like English people, Welsh people and people from Northern Ireland.
    9
  766. Thanks!
    9
  767. I think that story is just that...a story.
    9
  768. My condolences to you and your family.
    9
  769. I'm a professional historian. It's my job to examine and explain historical events. I'm not expressing opinion, just dealing with established facts. I certainly don't "justify" their choices. Why these legions were created are to do with complex political, historical and social reasons, and plenty of historians have examined them at length in essays and books that anyone can access.
    9
  770. Right!
    9
  771. I've very sorry for your loss.
    9
  772. I never said he wasn't brave or a veteran.
    9
  773. Which begs the question...
    9
  774. You believe whatever makes you happy - I'll keep doing actual historical research.
    9
  775. I'm working on it!
    9
  776. Already have.
    9
  777. You will.
    9
  778. Yes, I stupidly called my book The Canal Busters in the video! Duh!
    9
  779. 'I Was Monty's Double' is one of my favourite films!
    9
  780. Eisenhower was Supreme Commander - Monty commanded all land troops. A British officer, Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay, commanded all naval forces on D-Day, including American.
    9
  781. Actually, a few U-boatmen set foot on US beaches in WWII helping agents to land from rubber dinghies, and a whole armed team went fully ashore in Canada to set up an automatic weather station.
    9
  782. Incredibly kind of you!
    9
  783. Already have years ago
    9
  784. Some of the dead Red Army soldiers buried there were from the 1st Ukrainian Front - just to add some perspective.
    8
  785. Actually, the Bren was rechambered to 7.62mm and used by the British Army with a straight magazine until the 1980s. Perhaps you should take your own advice?
    8
  786. With respect, at the time I was discussing, Ukraine was not a nation state, rather a part of the Soviet Union, so I'm hoping my use of 'the Ukraine' was accurate. However, if any Ukrainians are watching, hopefully they will not be offended.
    8
  787. It's all out there, in the public domain. Just need to hunt for it.
    8
  788. No longer in service so not eligible for video!
    8
  789. Thank you for the great idea!
    8
  790. Putting the venerable Lightning name on a US designed and built import is, no offence to our American friends, a sad indictment.
    8
  791. Soviet troops killed quite a few Lipizzaners from the Royal Hungarian stud when they overtook their evacuating column - turned them in to horse burgers apparently. The rest were shackled as common drays and never seen again.
    8
  792. Hope you enjoy it!
    8
  793. Its been a fascination of mine since I was a child - I even have an MA in Native American Studies!
    8
  794. Good point.
    8
  795. No problem 😊
    8
  796. I wrote a book about Hitler's security etc.
    8
  797. You are not wrong. In my book The Last Nazis I dealt with the rat lines and Vatican involvement in getting Nazis to South American. Peron's Argentina took thousands and thousands, and interestingly was the only South American nation to develop its own indigenous jet aircraft programme (I think I can guess where the technical know-how came from!).
    8
  798. I think it's U-530 that's been repainted and tarted up.
    8
  799. Try reading history books - then you might not sound so ill-educated and ill-informed.
    8
  800. Frank Whittle invented the first jet engine - the others were just unproven and untested theories.
    8
  801. 600,000 people have gun licences in Britain, and I'm one of them, so we are not 'disarmed' by any stretch of the imagination, just 'restricted' concerning what kinds of weapons we can purchase etc.
    8
  802. I should run a caption competition.
    8
  803. They even moan about free to watch programmes
    8
  804. Thanks
    8
  805. It was an independent nation state that was briefly and partly occupied by German forces for 3 months.
    8
  806. Thanks, will do!
    8
  807. And I appreciate every one of them for their kind support!
    8
  808. We have a few in the UK - Perhaps a future video?
    8
  809. So you think my programmes are essentially trivial? I urge you to not watch them in future!
    8
  810. I beg your pardon - none of my video show 'admiration' for the Nazis. You need to look up the term 'historian'.
    8
  811. I've been inside two WW2 German U-boats.
    8
  812. The Germans were certainly disconcerted as four of them climbed out and ran away! Always a wise move when faced by a tank full of enraged Irishmen.
    8
  813. The weather systems in the northern hemisphere move from west to east, so if you know the weather in Canada you can predict the likely weather in Europe a couple of days later. It was vital for planning military and naval operations, and the Germans had no way of getting this data except using U-boats as weather stations off the North American east coast or setting up manned or automatic secret weather stations in Greenland and Canada.
    8
  814. Excellent film!
    8
  815. Perhaps
    8
  816. Footage might be a bit tricky to find!
    8
  817. They are all now owned by the Dutch state.
    8
  818. And hipsters today
    8
  819. He never accepted a 20th July Wound Badge - he only ever wore his WW1 Wound Badge in Black.
    8
  820. I am let out occasionally for exercise!
    8
  821. You can listen to me read my book 'The Bridge Busters' on my other channel.
    8
  822. Radar smuggled a Jeep home in pieces in MASH
    8
  823. Many thanks for your support
    8
  824. The information is freely and widely available on this weapon - it wasn't very successful and was discontinued by the Luftwaffe. Try a library
    8
  825. Someone flagged it (for some unknown reason!), so I re-uploaded so that it was not restricted anywhere in the world.
    8
  826. Actually, the daft British government of the time actually GAVE the Soviet Union the technology - the responsible minister was Sir Stafford Cripps. It somewhat beggars belief as this was 1947 and the Cold War was a reality by that time.
    8
  827. I haven't!
    8
  828. Glad you enjoyed it!
    8
  829. Well done!
    8
  830. You are too kind!
    8
  831. Already have
    8
  832. To be interrogated concerning her husband's whereabout etc.
    8
  833. Thanks for saying so - really pleased that you enjoyed Zero Night as I loved writing it.
    8
  834. YouTube pulled it over a year ago, so I've edited and re-uploaded again. Too good a subject to be abandoned.
    8
  835. Watch first then reply...bro
    8
  836. Well said.
    8
  837. And we all know that films and TV are completely historically accurate - oh, wait...
    8
  838. I'm actually researching that subject for a future video!
    8
  839. Thanks - I research and then write a script. Then I find film and photos to match the story (as closely as possible!)
    8
  840. Well, I've mentioned them!
    8
  841. Watch video before commenting, lest you look like a complete tool!
    8
  842. I was at Schloss Mauterndorf just last week, researching Göring! Proper mediaeval style castle! Thanks for watching.
    8
  843. Ship, from Italy. Many other Nazis did, and it was well-documented. Genoa to Argentina was a common route, using false identities and real Red Cross passports with Argentinian entry visas.
    8
  844. I haven't made Ep. 2 yet!
    8
  845. I also like Forgotten Weapons.
    8
  846. They are not individually marked - all you will be able to find out is the maker.
    8
  847. Indeed
    8
  848. Type XXIII successfully sank several Allied ships in the North Sea off the British coast - Youtube entry: "The first Type XXIII to achieve combat success was U-2322, commanded by Oberleutnant zur See Fridtjof Heckel. Sailing from a Norwegian base on 6 February 1945, she encountered a convoy off Berwick, Northumberland, and sank the coaster Egholm on 25 February. U-2321, operating from the same base, sank the coaster Gasray on 5 April 1945 off St Abbs Head. U-2336, under the command of Kapitänleutnant Emil Klusmeier, later sank the last Allied ships lost in the European war on 7 May 1945, when he torpedoed and sank the freighters Sneland I and Avondale Park off the Isle of May inside the Firth of Forth."
    8
  849. A pleasure
    8
  850. Russian history, I think you'll find
    8
  851. Out of my last 10 videos, 4 have been dedicated to Allied subjects!
    8
  852. I expect I will!
    8
  853. I know, I misspoke.
    8
  854. Frederick the Great
    7
  855. Thank you for watching
    7
  856. Gustav's barrel has already fired 250 rounds during tests, so it managed another 48 in combat. The barrel was swapped and sent back to Krupp to be maintained.
    7
  857. Perhaps, but the effects of the attack on the Allies outweighed the losses in men. An entire US infantry division was routed, driven back 25km with a considerable loss of equipment and men, not to mention the relieving of pressure further along the Gothic Line.
    7
  858. TBF, I think the F-16 is as old as the F-14.
    7
  859. That's extremely generous. Drop me an email at hello@markfelton.co.uk.
    7
  860. He flew over the locations, not landed.
    7
  861. Already made
    7
  862. They were not 'Nazis' but German airmen.
    7
  863. I guess the local youths don't know its significance.
    7
  864. The Airborne Museum had some great relics - I particularly enjoyed seeing Johnny Frost's hunting horn.
    7
  865. To paraphrase Bomber Harris: 'They sowed the wind, and now they will reap the whirlwind'. The Japanese had killed between 20 and 30 million people, mostly civilians, in their quest for empire between 1931 and 1945 (if you want the gory details, I've written many books on this grim subject, as have many, many historians - or just ask any veterans who were prisoners of the Japanese). The Allies were facing having to invade mainland Japan in December 1945 to obtain the surrender they should have given long before, and were facing estimates of up to 1,000,000 casualties (killed, wounded and missing). The responsibility for Hiroshima and Nagasaki must rest on the shoulders of the Japanese government that refused to countenance surrender, and didn't give a damn about the ordinary Japanese. The war dragged on because the government was largely concerned with the status of the Emperor after any capitulation. For this point, they willingly killed hundreds of thousands of their own citizens and soldiers.
    7
  866. 83 in 2006. Better rewatch.
    7
  867. Italian one already done - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uwPH3uRhM4&t=1s
    7
  868. I have clearly listed my sources, and everything I have said can be easily confirmed in dozens of books on this subject. The video isn't about the Red Army in WWII, it is about how Stalin deliberately tried to prevent British and US forces from reaching their Berlin occupation zones. Nobody in the historical community denies that all of this occurred and the reasoning behind it. Your use of the word 'propaganda' is simply lazy name-calling against anyone you and your ilk don't agree with - but I'm afraid the history is what it is, like it or not.
    7
  869. You do realise this is a 'history' channel?
    7
  870. Actually, you were third, but a Bronze Medal is a damned good show in anyone's book!
    7
  871. Don't be silly
    7
  872. Cheeky nonconformists I think
    7
  873. In the Last Crusade, Markus Brody is knocked out by a baddie wielding a C96 in the Venice church. Another one shoots at Indy and Dr. Schneider with one during the boat chase scene (yes, I'm an Indiana Jones geek!)
    7
  874. I hope so too!
    7
  875. I would surmise that Himmler had some moveable wealth, but used it to salt his secret stashes for a rainy day, rather than turning it into hard cash for personal projects. We just don't know. Himmler certainly seemed more interested in his work and pet projects, like Ahnenerbe, for which SS funds were used, then in enriching himself personally, or living the kind of lavish lifestyle Goering enjoyed.
    7
  876. I've made plenty of Allied-focused videos - check out my video list.
    7
  877. Regimental birthdays, battle anniversaries, or just because he wanted to.
    7
  878. The Allied leaders had to take into consideration the feelings of the governments-in-exile in London. Thousands of Dutch service personnel were serving alongside the British and Canadians.
    7
  879. Hence I decided not to write a book about this story, even though its got it all!
    7
  880. The Twin Towers attacks were deliberate - I was discussing accidents. There is a big difference.
    7
  881. There was nothing misinformed about that video - watch it again and take notes this time! Or check the listed sources in the description box - all reputable defence publications.
    7
  882. No - originally it was that way
    7
  883. Perhaps - though I'd dread the comments section
    7
  884. Research - I love it!
    7
  885. I try my best!
    7
  886. And it's splendid that you are watching!
    7
  887. San Marino was neutral, as was Liechtenstein. I believe the Germans occupied Monaco. San Marino and Vatican City were not occupied.
    7
  888. Good idea
    7
  889. Thanks for watching!
    7
  890. My pleasure
    7
  891. I'm planning to in the future.
    7
  892. Yes, they have.
    7
  893. I believe the Sherman ran on Bushmills!
    7
  894. Of course I know how to pronounce 'Lieutenant' the British way, however, I've had so much stick from Americans about using the British form when discussing Americans, that I've decided to use the American pronunciation when discussing the US Army. I shall, naturally, use the British form when discussing my own army. Only good manners.
    7
  895. Much appreciated!
    7
  896. You'd better watch my video on the Rhine Meadows myth.
    7
  897. We only deal with historical objectivity on this channel!
    7
  898. I've done a few Korea and Vietnam videos in the past.
    7
  899. I do.
    7
  900. I think more like the RAF versus V-1 flying bombs.
    7
  901. What jabs? I love America and have spent vast amounts of my life studying and teaching its history and politics. I have written many books and made many videos about great US military events, battles and personalities. My publications have received excellent reviews in top US newspapers and magazines for almost 20 years and I've never been accused of being anything other than an impartial historian. I have been given membership of fantastic patriotic organisations like the Naval Order of the United States and the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States based on my work promoting US military and naval history. I'm genuinely horrified that you or anyone would think I'm anti-American. This video is a factual account of an historical event, like all my other videos. Everyone is talking about Trump and something related to Trump would interest people during this time, or do you disagree. I don't think you want a video about Keir Starmer, do you?
    7
  902. I should say 100%
    7
  903. Don't worry - I'll be around for a while yet!
    7
  904. Actually, more British and Canadian troops landed on D-Day than Americans!
    7
  905. Enlighten us
    7
  906. Thanks
    7
  907. I imagine not by choice.
    7
  908. I appreciate that
    7
  909. I'm referring to things made of metal with turrets and engines. Think HMS Warspite or a host of other battleships. Actually, now you mention it, the government wasn't much interested in preserving Victory in the early 20th century either.
    7
  910. I do try!
    7
  911. Essex was on the way to and from London from German bomber bases.
    7
  912. Already have 2 years ago!
    7
  913. That was the plan. The RAF Museum was going to display it as found inside a large rocky sand pit recreating the crash scene. They even handed over a Spitfire to a go-between as part of the deal, but the Egyptians nonetheless kept the P-40.
    7
  914. I played football with the Gurkhas - they played barefoot!
    7
  915. Thanks - and you will get it!
    7
  916. I've already made several - Zeppelins and Gothas.
    7
  917. Thanks. No 'staff', just little old me!
    7
  918. Another prat - watch video then apologise!
    7
  919. You might want to watch again and listen this time.
    7
  920. Thanks for watching
    7
  921. That is a very debatable position, and I'd urge you to read a lot more books about Churchill and WWII. The 'Saint Churchill' mantra popular today wasn't very popular during his own lifetime. The number of WWII veterans I've known during my 50 years who have voluntarily prefaced Churchill's name with the word 'warmonger' is many, including both of my WWII combat veteran grandfathers.
    7
  922. Not yet
    7
  923. That has been linked to the Hess affair by some authors.
    7
  924. Quite so. The East Germans had a difficult. relationship with their Soviet masters
    7
  925. 1990-91 - and the NVA was adsorbed into the Bundeswehr, with most of its men made redundant.
    7
  926. I've written many books extolling the heroism and bravery of US forces in WWII, not to mention make many videos highlighting it. You comment is both unfair and inaccurate.
    7
  927. They offered Churchill the Dukedom of London, but he turned it down, undoubtedly interested in returning as PM in the future (peers cannot vote or be elected to parliament) and low and behold was re-elected PM in 1950.
    7
  928. Yes, I've driven it both ways and agree with you
    7
  929. As I say in the video!
    7
  930. Many thanks.
    7
  931. Don't forget that Hitler was fully clothed when burned and covered in a blanket. The autopsy report, which I have, also clearly describes which parts of his body had been consumed by fire, and which parts were relatively intact when recovered on 2 May 1945. There would have been plenty of ashes.
    7
  932. I forgot to put it back when I reloaded it - thanks for the reminder!
    7
  933. You win the Pedant of the Year Award 2024 - congratulations!
    7
  934. Facts are facts, whether you like them or not. My investigation has shown that though the conditions in the camps were harsh, they were not deliberately designed to kill German prisoners - that is a fallacy proven by hard historical evidence to have been so.
    7
  935. Yes, the leaders also had plenty of 'silent contempt' for their own people.
    6
  936. Edited out a mistake - but well spotted!
    6
  937. I'll do more - my paternal grandfather was an infantryman in the XIVth Army at Imphal and Kohima and had all the stories first hand!
    6
  938. Stupid Fokker!
    6
  939. Surely then the large counterweight makes the turret larger, ergo, the Firefly has a larger turret?
    6
  940. Thanks, will do!
    6
  941. King Frederick the Great of Prussia
    6
  942. I assumed it was scrapped. It wasn't rare, just of historical interest to SF.
    6
  943. Good one!
    6
  944. There is no bias in my video, only history. There is a difference.
    6
  945. The body identified as Eva Braun was cremated in the 1970s by the KGB. The only physical evidence left is her gold bridgework in Moscow. No human tissue to test against known Braun family DNA.
    6
  946. Thanks - it takes a long time.
    6
  947. In what way is this programme 'propaganda'? Please consult a dictionary before approaching your keyboard.
    6
  948. Give it a rest - my channel is not a forum for US political debate!
    6
  949. Yes, it's a real photo taken by myself.
    6
  950. Suggest you unblock ears - I stated 1 million plus buildings 'damaged or destroyed'. Official UK government figures freely available in things called books and government reports in other places called archives.
    6
  951. You should read my book Castle of the Eagles - the leading characters are two New Zealand brigadiers. The book is being made into a film.
    6
  952. I don't make 'Nazi war porn' my friend, I make history documentaries.
    6
  953. Same to you!
    6
  954. 9am in the UK!
    6
  955. Happy Birthday
    6
  956. We didn't find any war criminals amongst them either. It's like those rocket scientists the US took in - so many innocent yet incredibly useful former Nazis.
    6
  957. Ausf. G
    6
  958. Perhaps, but the effects of the attack on the Allies outweighed the losses in men. An entire US infantry division was routed, driven back 25km with a considerable loss of equipment and men, not to mention the relieving of pressure further along the Gothic Line. You could imagine the damage if they had sent through two complete Italian divisions plus a German Kampfgruppe.
    6
  959. Thanks
    6
  960. I believe she was fluent in English - her husband spoke German, as he would not have been in the Intelligence Corps in Germany in 1945-46.
    6
  961. Timothy Spall could have played him!
    6
  962. ...and yet it defeated NATO air defences in 2022.
    6
  963. I thought it was an MG34. I'll have to look again.
    6
  964. Why, was my video about ALL colonialism in Africa? No, it wasn't. There are no shortage of books written about these subjects - read some and then make your own Youtube videos about them. I'd be happy to review.
    6
  965. It was blocked again, so I deleted it.
    6
  966. Because they are mostly British rather than Americans
    6
  967. The Desert Rats was the British 7th Armoured Division - they still exist today as the 7th Armoured Brigade. My maternal grandfather was one!
    6
  968. Yes, German U-boats had small bases within Japanese naval bases at Singapore, Kure and Indonesia. One U-boat actually completed a combat patrol in the Pacific.
    6
  969. It was my very first book, so you are kind!
    6
  970. Too old now!
    6
  971. I will.
    6
  972. How so? Enlighten me.
    6
  973. Thanks Cobber!
    6
  974. This is a brand new video, my good man.
    6
  975. He was the first burial, and they just tagged him on to the first row I guess.
    6
  976. I have only told you exactly what happened - how is that 'unbalanced'. I didn't put any personal opinion into it. It's extremely balanced!
    6
  977. I know we currently have more admirals than individual ships in the Royal Navy, which is fairly impressive!
    6
  978. It was on my list - and actually taken from a book I wrote in 2006!
    6
  979. In what way I am being 'anti-American'? The USAAF most definitely destroyed almost every Japanese city. I explained about Truman's warnings to the Japanese to surrender etc. I find your ignorance of my work really quite disappointing. Read some of my books about Japanese war crimes for starters!
    6
  980. Probably - they had just been battling Allied troops after all.
    6
  981. You win the 'Mark Felton Pedant of the Month Award'!
    6
  982. I don't overstate anything - various expert historians have estimated the number I quoted.
    6
  983. I'm a historian who has specialised for almost 20 years in the Third Reich, Imperial Japan, the Holocaust and WWII more generally, including writing over 20 books. You should know better than to make such a comment about me.
    6
  984. I didn't tell you what to think - I presented the evidence and a theory of why the conspiracy exists. I encourage you to think more, particularly before writing comments.
    6
  985. Indeed - the same thought struck me. He was an army officer after all.
    6
  986. Sadly forgotten
    6
  987. That's a shame - I think you might have learned something interesting.
    6
  988. He did!
    6
  989. Losses from accidents are also counted in active military operations, and the NATO build-up in Eastern Europe along the Ukraine border is an active military operation.
    6
  990. You'll find out
    6
  991. No - I clearly mentioned the concentration camps in the NDH
    6
  992. I didn't - I point out that Wilhelm was demonised by Allied propaganda - but that he also played his stubborn little part in causing the war as well.
    6
  993. As far as historians know, Lloyd George did not inform the King. You must remember that this story only broke in 2018 after an author found an account written by one of the airmen involved. Government files on this remain closed, if they exist at all.
    6
  994. That was jungle fighting - my paternal grandfather fought in both actions.
    6
  995. Already have - link in end screen
    6
  996. Mother usually knows best
    6
  997. I did - video incoming very soon!
    6
  998. No, just my sore throat!
    6
  999. Already have - "Rump Reich"
    6
  1000. Unit 731 strikes!
    6
  1001. Thanks
    6
  1002. You have my sympathies!
    6
  1003. Prussia's Glory
    6
  1004. Prussia's Glory is still played by the Bundeswehr today, so I think we are on safe ground!
    6
  1005. His eardrums were burst by the bomb explosion.
    6
  1006. That's right - we did a lot of the early work with Tube Alloys but lacked the huge industrial base to make the bomb, so rolled our programme into yours to become The Manhattan Project. The US repaid us by excluding our scientists from the programme later on, and even refusing to give us the information necessary to build our own atomic weapons. British scientists at Los Alamos one day found themselves locked out of their offices and denied access to confidential scientific research papers they had written! So please don't buy in to the notion that America won WWII all on its lonesome. Britain was a much more powerful and resourceful country 80 years ago than today, and we contributed enormously to the eventual defeat of the Axis powers. Unfortunately, you never hear about it because Hollywood is in the US and churns out US-centric films and tv series that ignore British efforts almost entirely. It has become progressively worse since 1945 - compare The Longest Day to Saving Private Ryan if you don't believe me. I'll give George Clooney his due however, the Monuments Men did at least make an effort to show that Brits were involved.
    6
  1007. From 1957 onwards, denazified versions of WW2 medals and badges could be worn in uniform or by veterans.
    6
  1008. Prussia's Glory
    6
  1009. I'm actually working on that story at the moment - hold that thought!
    6
  1010. No idea - I've appealed
    6
  1011. I believe Ian at Forgotten Weapons is more qualified for such a task!
    6
  1012. The World at War
    6
  1013. Worth £150,000 today if restored!
    6
  1014. Undoubtedly I will!
    6
  1015. Sumo-san
    6
  1016. Grow up
    6
  1017. Very kind of you.
    6
  1018. Thanks for saying so
    6
  1019. Well, Hitler certainly mentioned his father's behaviour as did other contemporary observers. You might want to try reading books before taking to the comments section.
    6
  1020. Thanks for taking the time to watch
    6
  1021. Thanks so much
    6
  1022. Many thanks for the kind words.
    6
  1023. Yes, I have felt unsettled at a couple of locations...perhaps the topic for this year's Halloween Special?
    6
  1024. If you don't like my films, don't watch them!
    6
  1025. Yes, I said we used Nazis, but we didn't name any buildings or streets after the bastards.
    6
  1026. Silly comment - engage thinking faculties
    6
  1027. We never contemplated entering 'The Space Race' - after all, we already gave you all our gold to help you fund it...
    6
  1028. I'm afraid you've been watching too much Band of Brothers - they were 3rd on the scene. My research suggests it was Spanish soldiers in the French 2nd Armored who actually first climbed up to the Eagle's Nest, or Diplomatic Reception House to give it its Nazi title.
    6
  1029. Fear of creating Nazi shrines.
    6
  1030. You remember - one of the Old Guard!
    6
  1031. In ww2 it was most definitely listed as a crown colony. We now use the term overseas territory for political reasons.
    6
  1032. Quite a few WWII subjects were placed under 100 year rules, presumably because they have Intelligence involvement and can still damage posthumous reputations of national figures.
    6
  1033. As an enormous fan of both Dr. Jones and M.R. James, I enjoyed that!
    6
  1034. Of course - what an error!
    6
  1035. We were actually rather thinly spread militarily. Though I take your point
    6
  1036. I shall immediately commit seppuku to made amends for my shame!
    6
  1037. No, I'm just one person who's been researching WWII for over 35 years. All of my useless knowledge has now found an outlet!
    6
  1038. Greetings from Norwich!
    6
  1039. Thanks.
    6
  1040. All of them!
    6
  1041. Well, plenty of historians have revealed uncomfortable facts about Churchill over the years - he was very far from perfect.
    6
  1042. I see your thoughts...
    6
  1043. It's on my bookshelf too.
    6
  1044. I've covered that in a video.
    6
  1045. Several are in Ebook format on Amazon, as well as hardback and paperback.
    6
  1046. None
    6
  1047. Speer will be arriving soon!
    6
  1048. Seeing the Kaiser still inside a coffin in the grounds - it was surreal! Oh, and all those lovely Pickelhauben!
    6
  1049. Thanks
    6
  1050. Damn! Can't edit now.
    6
  1051. When I make them!
    6
  1052. I've written about them in my book 'The Devil's Doctors'.
    6
  1053. It's on my list to do.
    6
  1054. The Meteors were busy shooting down V-1s. I also think that as the Ar 234s were infrequent visitors, diverting Meteors would not have been seen as a good use of resources, especially as the 234s were not dropping bombs.
    6
  1055. The number is closer to 300,000 according to many, many published sources. The Japanese insist on the ludicrously low number of under 20,000, which is patently false.
    6
  1056. Indeed - well spotted!
    6
  1057. No insult was intended, I was just concerned about comments asking why Gandhi became a coffee shop assistant.
    6
  1058. I try!
    6
  1059. He lived a long and peaceful postwar life, dying in extreme old age. Ironically, Asaka ended also up as President of the Japanese Red Cross - you couldn't make it up!
    5
  1060. Twiddles waxed moustache whilst grinning.
    5
  1061. I beg your pardon!
    5
  1062. Destroyed in an air raid or looted by arriving US troops
    5
  1063. Yes, he was wrong.
    5
  1064. MI5 actually.
    5
  1065. It's not the only evidence.
    5
  1066. What can you test - gold teeth? No human remains exist today.
    5
  1067. I can't disagree with this excellent summation!
    5
  1068. Even better would be if some of the interesting ones containing Hitler's notations were scanned and put online for anyone to examine!
    5
  1069. I'm sure they were very glad the war was over and some of them could now live in the British and American occupation zones!
    5
  1070. Because the basis of Russia's nuclear deterrent, the Satan 1, was manufactured in a country (then a Soviet republic) that Russia is now at war with - having a slow day?
    5
  1071. Considering your channel's main background image is the fascist flag of the Italian Social Republic, I think you might have a slight agenda?
    5
  1072. For King instead?
    5
  1073. The Japanese planned to use their I-400 class submarine aircraft carriers to hit targets along the West Coast, dropping 'germ' bombs containing bubonic plague. Fortunately, wiser heads prevailed in Tokyo as the Japanese realised the Americans might have returned the favour with their own biological weapons.
    5
  1074. If you are referring to Soviet prisoners, they were all punished on Stalin's orders for having been taken prisoner.
    5
  1075. To be fair, the last part of your statement is unfair - the US Army seriously investigated this crime for two years. They likely couldn't find those responsible because the perpetrators had been killed later in the war.
    5
  1076. I wasn't 'talking down' to you - everything I have said in the video is a fact. A fact of military history, but a largely ignored facet of the Ardennes campaign. I think you are the one with the chip on his shoulder.
    5

  1078. March of Midnight by Scott Buckley
    5
  1079. Firstly, it was this or no footage at all. Secondly, these African-American troops were dressed exactly the same as their comrades taken prisoner in Italy. The season was even the same - cold and muddy. If you feel you can do a better job, please send me the link to your video and I shall be happy to provide my pithy critique of your efforts.
    5
  1080. Are you serious? Go and research it yourself. As for inserting British troops into major American battles, they often were involved and have been ghosted out of the story postwar. I only deal in facts. You can independently check everything I have stated in my videos and find a mountain of historical evidence to support my work. I try to bring my viewers untold or forgotten stories of WWII, rather than simply retell the same famous events that everyone already knows. The British troops at Omaha Beach falls into that category. It is not widely know, surprising and the men who took part deserved to have their story told.
    5
  1081. So the British government and naval officers sent to take the place in 1955 constantly using the word "annex" didn't register with you. The complete Pathe news clip is available online.
    5
  1082. 301.3km to Story, St. Kilda, Scotland 423.2km to Tory Island, County Donegal, Ireland
    5
  1083. I spell it correctly - open your eyes!
    5
  1084. And hatless - not in HM Forces!
    5
  1085. Thanks for watching
    5
  1086. Thanks - I hope that you enjoy it. Don't forget to leave a review on Amazon.
    5
  1087. You are too kind
    5
  1088. Of course
    5
  1089. Why not?
    5
  1090. No spares.
    5
  1091. No, it isn't. Do some research.
    5
  1092. Never
    5
  1093. The British officers were killed, wounded or made prisoners of the Japanese as well. Such a remark is to do a huge disservice to the memory of a lot of brave men, whether they were Indians, Gurkhas, Malays or Britons.
    5
  1094. Thanks
    5
  1095. Eventually
    5
  1096. Its a question of finding royalty-free maps that I can use.
    5
  1097. Thanks
    5
  1098. Because they wanted to capture it intact and use it to bring in more troops etc.
    5
  1099. I've changed it to 'Ukrainian Soviet soldier' which is even more accurate!
    5
  1100. I've been looking at both in detail. Watch this space!
    5
  1101. It is me - my wife took it!
    5
  1102. Not many
    5
  1103. Looted mostly - they turn up in private collections all over the world, and the Russians have a lot in the Moscow Archives.
    5
  1104. I'm going to do the odd one of these called 'How To...'
    5
  1105. I looked long and hard and couldn't find a definite answer - you could be the first and set a precedent!
    5
  1106. To be fair, Churchill demanded to be allowed to land with the troops in the first wave, but the King told him he couldn't and if he insisted, the King would have to accompany him. Churchill then backed down to save his monarch from death or injury. Churchill went over on 12 June 1944, and he would come under German artillery fire later at the crossing of the Rhine. I don't think you can blame Churchill for veterans affairs in the decades after the war when he was out of office or indeed dead - more modern politicians are to blame, most whom have never served in the armed forces.
    5
  1107. boffin - British slang for egghead.
    5
  1108. It was - I always like to visit the actual places I talk about. They are always a bit different in real life than you imagined them to be.
    5
  1109. An insult and a compliment in one paragraph - I am honoured.
    5
  1110. Seems to be a load of nonsense unfortunately
    5
  1111. I recently found the director's cut version with some scenes added I hadn't seen before. I too love that film!
    5
  1112. I still watch the older videos from the '70s and '80s on YouTube - none of those dreadful inaccurate 're-creations', and they were able to interview actual people involved, many of them very senior personnel. Your comparison to my channel is very kind and humbling! Thanks for watching
    5
  1113. Interesting question - probably such the same reason the Japanese didn't carry out their plan to bomb the West coast of America with bacteria bombs dropped by sub launched aircraft - retribution. Although, to be fair, if the Japanese had known about the upcoming atomic bomb, all bets would probably have been off.
    5
  1114. That's me - time travelling is fun and very useful for my work!
    5
  1115. Description box provides all answers!
    5
  1116. Tens of thousands of French troops made it to the UK, becoming the Free French Forces under de Gaulle. They landed alongside British forces on D-Day or advanced from the French Riviera with Operation Dragoon alongside General Jacob Devers US 6th Army. They would go on to be among the first Allied troops to reach Hitler's house on the Obersalzberg in May 1945.
    5
  1117. Excuse me?
    5
  1118. An entire division was in Norway and was evacuated to England. Large numbers of Poles also managed to get to Britain and France by way of other neutral Eastern European countries then the Middle East and Africa.
    5
  1119. Another annoying bot
    5
  1120. No - originally it was that way
    5
  1121. Thanks for watching.
    5
  1122. You got to watch my video for free, so what are you complaining about?
    5
  1123. Its not clear what became of them - Sergeant Kantwill was reported as living in England under an assumed name. Very mysterious story all round!
    5
  1124. Thanks for watching
    5
  1125. Thanks
    5
  1126. I have made many videos that don't mention Nazis. Try watching them!
    5
  1127. Hands outstretched in non-threatening gesture.
    5
  1128. I love it, but then again I'm old-fashioned too!
    5
  1129. 'Maschinenpistole' is the official German manufacturers name, so they are 'Machine Pistols'.
    5
  1130. I have already made videos about Bosnian Muslim SS and non-white troops in the German Army.
    5
  1131. I love you saying that!
    5
  1132. I don't downplay the suffering of Polish people - the whole video is about the bravery of the Home Army!
    5
  1133. No, the photo is of the Afghan Embassy in Berlin.
    5
  1134. I said Tibet, not Bhutan. Listen to the complete sentence.
    5
  1135. I am
    5
  1136. Interestingly, I'm investigating doing a video on this very subject!
    5
  1137. 22 books published - that's the best kind of merch - it expands the mind!
    5
  1138. You failed to mention the over 100,000 Filipinos who also perished. I wasn't referring literally to Stalingrad, rather to the nature of the fighting, which was quite Stalingrad-like!
    5
  1139. Initially England.
    5
  1140. Same to you!
    5
  1141. The video is focused on Lt. Whittle - the male prisoners were sent to a POW camp.
    5
  1142. Welcome aboard!
    5
  1143. Thanks - I am the entire team!
    5
  1144. Thank you
    5
  1145. The lifeboats were marked "S.S.", the ship "R.M.S."
    5
  1146. A pleasure
    5
  1147. As a British person, I don't vote in your elections. And trying to insinuate something from a video about an incident in 1946 is rather odd.
    5
  1148. A 'myth' reported in print by the commander of the 6th Panzer Division - interesting.
    5
  1149. I have seen a few episode - it's very good.
    5
  1150. No, its not a cluster BOMB - it has no submunitions, just inanimate objects.
    5
  1151. I did make a video about how the US gave Ukraine some Mi-8 helicopters originally in use by the Afghan Air Force before the US withdrawal.
    5
  1152. Kim Jong-un - he's a subscriber.
    5
  1153. Yorckscher Marsch by Beethoven.
    5
  1154. 51 U-Boats are still missing
    5
  1155. Hello there from Norwich, England!
    5
  1156. It's my very great pleasure, and thanks for watching.
    5
  1157. Badly
    5
  1158. You are right - I miss spoke. He did end up a Lt.-Gen.
    5
  1159. You are too kind
    5
  1160. Thank you kindly
    5
  1161. It was my first, so perhaps you can be gentle?
    5
  1162. Thanks, you too!
    5
  1163. No, that topic is outside the scope of the video. I was focusing on one topic, not the entire ills of the world!
    5
  1164. There will be Ep. 3 & 4
    5
  1165. I'm currently working on Ep. 3 and 4.
    5
  1166. You are right, but he's no longer a head of state, unlike the Queen.
    5
  1167. The US Government - war reparations.
    5
  1168. Lighten up - I happen to find this subject interesting and so do a lot of other people.
    5
  1169. Thanks! 😃
    5
  1170. It's in the pipeline.
    5
  1171. I'm very sorry to hear that - my thoughts are with you.
    5
  1172. The Japanese only fought on for so long to protect the position of the Imperial Family. The Japanese government didn't care about civilian casualties and the atomic bombs didn't sway many fanatical generals in their wish to fight on. Killing the government you are trying to convince to surrender wouldn't have been a wise move.
    5
  1173. Actually, Hirohito was involved in the decision-making, but we don't know precisely how much as the Imperial Archives are not open to inspection by Western historians. My grandfather, a Burma campaign veteran, was of the opinion Hirohito should have been hanged, a commonly held British opinion at the time, but he was more use to the Americans so got a 'get out of jail free' card.
    5
  1174. Eventually.
    5
  1175. 22 to choose from!
    5
  1176. I kept the last one I received. Quite miss them.
    5
  1177. Erika
    5
  1178. I'm looking into it - I remember the case from some years ago.
    5
  1179. I know - rotters!
    5
  1180. Actually, all terms are perfectly acceptable to historians. Look them up.
    5
  1181. Yes, tech issue
    5
  1182. Seems it was a myth or the blokes were digging in completely the wrong place!
    5
  1183. Thanks
    5
  1184. Thanks for sharing your memories, really interesting
    5
  1185. La Gleize, Belgium. Fantastic museum next door - very impressive
    5
  1186. Official reports used this style. People addressed each other by surnames as well.
    5
  1187. Sounds like an American with an inferiority complex about the British.
    5
  1188. No, I want to educate people about the past - you shouldn't memorialise Nazis, rather discuss their contribution to the Space programme without deflecting attention from these scientists' dark pasts. Cancel culture is the complete antithesis of historical understanding and education.
    5
  1189. If that is so, why did the US authorities preserve and store it for 2 years? Why didn't they burn it immediately after obtaining it?
    5
  1190. Any anecdotes you'd care to share?
    5
  1191. It appears my prediction was correct.
    5
  1192. Already made it a long time ago
    5
  1193. I'm looking into it
    5
  1194. I have a passion for history - the history of WWII in particular. My work is objective and non-political, unlike your question.
    5
  1195. Plenty of German supply depots and units were captured in France and elsewhere.
    5
  1196. Many thanks - thanks for watching
    5
  1197. No
    5
  1198. Because he, like so many other posters here, hasn't watched the video before commenting and is pre-judging what I'm going to say. Very tiresome!
    5
  1199. Watch video before commenting, lest you look like a complete tool!
    5
  1200. Thanks for watching
    5
  1201. Of course!
    5
  1202. Well, to be fair, the Canadian Government volunteered the division, and 1,000 British commandos went in with them. Perhaps someone might also question to Canadian prime minister's decision. We don't have a history of using Commonwealth troops in the way you describe - normally they fought alongside British troops with distinction. Think of El Alamein, Hong Kong, Singapore, Burma, Italy etc. Lets not rewrite history from the current ill-informed bias so fashionable in our universities.
    5
  1203. Indeed, but that's not the reason she was appointed an honorary colonel.
    5
  1204. You've never heard of the phrase 'historical enquiry'?
    5
  1205. Historians believe they derived it from right-wing English writer Houston Stuart Chamberlain, a big influence on Adolf, which might tell you something about William Patrick Hitler.
    5
  1206. That's interesting!
    5
  1207. Yes, I live in Norwich, Norfolk but was born in Colchester, Essex.
    5
  1208. I have a PhD in History, so, yes, I am a doctor.
    5
  1209. Actually, I do have a photo of the Kaiser's 'throne room' - just couldn't resist!
    5
  1210. Thanks for the update - I wasn't quite sure if it was field grey or some slightly different shade. The general impression though was decidedly Wehrmacht.
    5
  1211. Many thanks
    5
  1212. It was also used interchangeably during the war - watch any old British or America newsreel.
    5
  1213. Makes you wonder!
    5
  1214. No, they didn't. US forces hardly encountered a Tiger until the breakout across France after Operation Cobra.
    5
  1215. Happy Birthday!
    5
  1216. No Tiger tanks in the American sector of Normandy.
    5
  1217. I invite you to read official reports of these actions and you will find that this was the case. We were allies, and we would help out each other to serve the grand strategy.
    5
  1218. Or those Fw190s in Turkey?
    5
  1219. I believe they are in the Russian State Archives in Moscow.
    5
  1220. An absolutely perfect summary! Made my day!
    5
  1221. I'm actually off to Belfast in October to see the Titanic Museum, the Nomadic and HMS Caroline.
    5
  1222. Thanks
    5
  1223. I was told that Springer's records were destroyed in a fire.
    5
  1224. Yes, I was thinking that the gun is a little old for Wilhelm II, unless he had it as a teenager or inherited it from his grandfather or father.
    5
  1225. So glad.
    5
  1226. Many thanks
    5
  1227. Excuse me sir, I've heard this described as such by former members of the REME, and by WW2 veterans including both of my grandfathers. This term is used in the British Army to this day!
    5
  1228. Actually, the Canadian troops used were conscripts whose terms of service stipulated that they didn't serve outside of North America. The Aleutians are America, so they were sent. After this, the Canadian government changed the rules and sent thousands of conscripts to Europe to fight the Germans, joining Canadian volunteers already overseas.
    5
  1229. Welcome aboard!
    5
  1230. I am exploring a story about that. Might possibly work.
    5
  1231. I have a great one coming up soon!
    5
  1232. Thank you for watching
    5
  1233. Thanks for watching
    5
  1234. I presume you understand commas?
    5
  1235. Yet every 5th comment is about those pistol grips. Blimey!
    5
  1236. Jesus - how many more times do I have to read this? Literally a third of the comments, despite my plea in writing to make it stop!
    5
  1237. I wrote a book about Unit 731 called 'The Devil's Doctors.
    5
  1238. It was investigated by multiple parties, many unconnected to the case, including a former Nazi working for the West Germans and many, many historians, US and German, unconnected to government agencies. At the end of the day, if you have evidence that the Americans killed 900,000 Germans, lets have it. A lot of historians would be very interested.
    5
  1239. You'd better watch my series on the Opium Wars and Britain's invasion of Tibet on my other channel before accusing me of bias.
    5
  1240. Research.
    4
  1241. Most of the French casualties were sustained crushing the Colmar Pocket, which came after the events in my video.
    4
  1242. Operation Gladio
    4
  1243. I did get it right - there was no Republic of Ireland when Joyce was born - it was all part of the UK. So the term Southern Ireland refers to the south of the island of Ireland prior to 1922. Try reading a book.
    4
  1244. I've only been to the Tiergarten memorial.
    4
  1245. You never built a Ratte. Try reading a history book.
    4
  1246. Rather childish comment.
    4
  1247. Well said!
    4
  1248. The Germans used the metric system - try reading books before typing.
    4
  1249. If they were Americans, it would have already been made
    4
  1250. Glad you enjoyed it!
    4
  1251. I do, and it will be in the future video.
    4
  1252. Tell us more
    4
  1253. The interpretation I gave comes from several histories.
    4
  1254. No error at all - never heard of mechanised cavalry? The British and US armies are full of cavalry regiments that use armoured vehicles today but retain their cavalry name and traditions. Secondly, the Germans did have horsed cavalry in WWII - suggest more reading before typing to prevent egg all over face.
    4
  1255. Well said!
    4
  1256. The bodies were cremated by the KGB in the '70s, long before DNA tests.
    4
  1257. Not yet, but I have been inside that building when I lived in Shanghai - it still has battle damage on the outside.
    4
  1258. But it was built by the Ancient Greeks.
    4
  1259. They only found a Wellington bomber in Loch Ness, though that's pretty incredible!
    4
  1260. Better watch my videos again - I state he died in Berlin, but the whereabouts of his buried corpse is disputed.
    4
  1261. For one day!
    4
  1262. I haven't - I'm saving it for a special video
    4
  1263. Pulse jet actually
    4
  1264. Much appreciated
    4
  1265. That's not going to happen - my programme list is immense!
    4
  1266. I would never do that to you!
    4
  1267. As I said in the video, your explanation doesn't explain why NVA and Vietcong were reporting the same thing.
    4
  1268. Many thanks!
    4
  1269. You are - well done!
    4
  1270. The Imperial Japanese Army could have used a man who thinks like you.
    4
  1271. Actually, 350 US soldiers captured in the Ardennes ended up in a concentration camp at Berga, Germany. Its all detailed in my latest book 'Operation Swallow'.
    4
  1272. Very simplistic comment. Read more.
    4
  1273. Courts martial trial for murder, rape etc.
    4
  1274. Two tours of duty in Afghanistan - am I missing something?
    4
  1275. I've made a separate video about the Alaska/Aleutians campaign
    4
  1276. Many thanks
    4
  1277. I've made many WWI videos!
    4
  1278. Happy Birthday - I celebrated my 49th yesterday!
    4
  1279. A great many thanks - I shall certainly keep pumping out the videos!
    4
  1280. Thanks
    4
  1281. Watch The Longest Day
    4
  1282. Indeed - and the ironic thing is that most the actors in Band of Brothers were British. It's an indication of the current state of British tv and film making that we can't seem to make a really good BofB's style tv series following the Brits from D-Day into Germany.
    4
  1283. The aircrews were apparently terrified of bombing short and killing the landing force. Later in the Normandy campaign they successfully carpet bombed advancing Allied forces on several occasions.
    4
  1284. So I did get the pronunciation correct this time!
    4
  1285. Operation Varsity, March 1945
    4
  1286. The main one was the crossing of the Rhine in March 1945 - Operation Varsity.
    4
  1287. 301.3km to Story, St. Kilda, Scotland 423.2km to Tory Island, County Donegal, Ireland
    4
  1288. Incinerated by the KGB in 1970.
    4
  1289. The guns were behind British lines - trying to recapture them would have involved a full-scale counter-offensive to retake a considerable amount of territory. A commando attack to spike the guns made more sense.
    4
  1290. I can't list every single one! The four main ones are the ones usually listed.
    4
  1291. As Crown Dependencies they are most assuredly self-governing British territories. I am in no way wrong.
    4
  1292. I wrote about them in my first book Yanagi - I may do a video in the future
    4
  1293. But certainly cheaper
    4
  1294. I'm considering walking into the sea
    4
  1295. In response to your accusation, I recently made a video about the WWII Ukrainian SS.
    4
  1296. This kind of unfair comment aggrieves me when you see how many US-focused videos I've made, not to mention books I've written about US military subjects. It's a cheap shot.
    4
  1297. Yes, but Monty was next down the pecking order as Allied Ground Forces Commander for D-Day, before the US and British ground commands split after D-Day and Monty took command of 21st Army Group.
    4
  1298. I'm in many tv documentaries, including another upcoming on Netflix.
    4
  1299. I was referring to the war in the Western Desert which did not involve US forces.
    4
  1300. Yes
    4
  1301. Captain Huston probably made the right decision - he knew his guns didn't have the range to hit the I-25, and the muzzle flashes would just have given the Japanese something to aim at. It must have been very frustrating.
    4
  1302. Very kind words - many thanks
    4
  1303. Trust me, that won't happen.
    4
  1304. Not relevant to the topic.
    4
  1305. I never said it wasn't!
    4
  1306. Amazon is fine. Hope you find something to your liking. I'm currently finished no. 21
    4
  1307. Thanks very much
    4
  1308. Yes.
    4
  1309. Thanks. I'm not planning on writing any more books for the foreseeable future. My YouTube channels are a full-time job!
    4
  1310. The B-29 and the Lincoln served at the same time in the RAF.
    4
  1311. Wounded, sick or required elsewhere.
    4
  1312. Because Hitler was legally resident in Bavaria at death, and his personal property has been inherited by Bavaria.
    4
  1313. Great - they can host Fight Club in it!
    4
  1314. There are no royalty payments as the book is in the public domain. The publishers collect all the cover price.
    4
  1315. Music clip licenced by Apple iMovie
    4
  1316. Neither - it's a Soviet aircraft.
    4
  1317. Actually, we had terrible trouble with these tanks during the Malaya campaign.
    4
  1318. So - he was serving in the Belgian Army at the time.
    4
  1319. Ian would be able to shoot these weapons as well, unlike us Brits, where it unfortunately illegal to own pistols.
    4
  1320. You could try!
    4
  1321. No, its not - and incidentally, Kennedy's elder brother Joe is remembered there, who was killed during the war.
    4
  1322. I would guess they would have to be 106 or 107 to have actually comprehended the events. Bit like me and John Lennon's death in 1980 - I was 6 and remember the tv coverage and his video for 'Imagine'.
    4
  1323. The two others were Reichskriegsflagge members killed at the War Ministry.
    4
  1324. All sources are in the description box with links.
    4
  1325. He didn't - I can assure you.
    4
  1326. That would be an interesting day for the German government! Can of worms anyone?
    4
  1327. Show me a better theory with my level of evidence, and I'll listen.
    4
  1328. Precisely. My theory is extremely simple and workable. I may not be right, but I don't think I'm too far off.
    4
  1329. No - the forensic pathologists could tell the difference between bullet fragments and shrapnel. It is all noted carefully in their report, which I have.
    4
  1330. Happy birthday!
    4
  1331. My paternal grandfather served in the 2nd Battalion, The Suffolk Regiment in the Burma Campaign. The 5th Indian Infantry Division, to which the Suffolks were assigned, was like all the others, one battalion out of every brigade was British, the other two Indian and/or Gurkha. I know there was a push towards the end of the war to have completely Indian brigades, and some battalions were also completely Indian, including all officers.
    4
  1332. I was being ironic.
    4
  1333. Bit of a stretch - that's like saying the Japanese invaded Burma, a British colony, so therefore they invaded Britain.
    4
  1334. No pleasing some people
    4
  1335. I'm off reservation without adult supervision!
    4
  1336. I'm clearly not a bird fancier!
    4
  1337. "I'll try harder next time", Hitler was alleged to have said in reply.
    4
  1338. Yes, the end of the ski run was melting a bit in the sun, but the higher runs were lovely.
    4
  1339. It's in the description
    4
  1340. I've actually been gathering photos of this yacht for a future film! Its a great story.
    4
  1341. I've already done that video.
    4
  1342. What on earth are you blathering on about?
    4
  1343. I recorded that in London years ago - interesting series!
    4
  1344. Because I couldn't find a coloured photo of a BMW staff car, that's why!
    4
  1345. KLM used Orange as their wartime colour - much more sensible.
    4
  1346. Straight Eight
    4
  1347. Paris owes him a big thank you.
    4
  1348. You are too kind sir
    4
  1349. Nonsense - there were some Spaniards, I grant you, but most of the unit were French.
    4
  1350. Thank you - as you know, my channel is strictly non-political. I deal only with historical facts.
    4
  1351. verb BRITISH past tense: disorientated; past participle: disorientated cause (someone) to lose their sense of direction. "when he emerged into the street he was totally disorientated" synonyms:confused, bewildered, perplexed, nonplussed, at a loss, (all) at sea, in a state of confusion, in a muddle; More make (someone) feel confused. "being near him made her feel weak and disorientated"
    4
  1352. Reload - tech problem
    4
  1353. No, I have a WW1 M16 helmet.
    4
  1354. Tirade? Reasoned analysis more like, with added comedy stylings!
    4
  1355. I don't appreciate being spoken to like an errant child, and given orders. Words do matter - can you imagine the descriptive words I'm using at this moment?
    4
  1356. Original flag apparently.
    4
  1357. You've answered your own question.
    4
  1358. You misheard me - I said 70 million!
    4
  1359. I'm so glad!
    4
  1360. I wrote a book about Unit 731 published all over the world, so less of the 'shill' nonsense.
    4
  1361. It did happen and I'm going to cover one story in a future video.
    4
  1362. So what - I couldn't find a colour photo. And it's not 'clickbait' when I show an image of the actual event the video talks about!!!
    4
  1363. I think blaming all British people for political decisions they had no say in is a bit rich - the brave Poles who fought in Britain and later in NW Europe are properly commemorated in the UK and we know how much contribution they made to ultimate victory. The decisions taken in 1944-45 disgusted many ordinary British people, and we were happy to have many Poles settle permanently in Britain after the war.
    4
  1364. Just trying to brighten up a black and white image. I don't ordinarily use them.
    4
  1365. I doubt it.
    4
  1366. Because the footage you mention is full of middle aged men in hi-vis jackets speaking on mobile phones. Not quite 1945!
    4
  1367. Thank you very much!
    4
  1368. Have years ago
    4
  1369. I haven't used any game footage! The 262 footage is a full-size modern replica flying at a German airshow.
    4
  1370. I've made a video about it!
    4
  1371. He had an army sergeant barber as part of his staff.
    4
  1372. It's called a "blue-on-blue" incident. The pilot probably mistook the L5 for a Storch. There were probably a variety of reasons for the mistake, and such shootings were fairly common. And why would the British want Patton dead - and if we did surely we could have thought of a more covert way than a ruddy great Spitfire flown by a chap with a handlebar moustache and a white scarf!
    4
  1373. Who is this 'Fenton' chap?
    4
  1374. You have been officially noticed!
    4
  1375. My pleasure - glad you are enjoying the content
    4
  1376. In 1974, handguns were legal if you had the correct firearms certificate. They became illegal for almost all Briton's following the Dunblane Massacre of 1996.
    4
  1377. Glad you like them!
    4
  1378. Welcome aboard
    4
  1379. Great film. The real incident involved a Royal Navy gunboat in 1927.
    4
  1380. You will at some point. I've written most of the script.
    4
  1381. The remains are at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, if I recall. I've seen them.
    4
  1382. As I'm discussing the US Army, I thought it diplomatic to use their term. I am well aware of the way I normally pronounce this word!
    4
  1383. It was a photo from when Sparks was much younger clever clogs!
    4
  1384. There were several concentration camp uprisings - see my book 'Holocaust Heroes'.
    4
  1385. You probably will
    4
  1386. Suggest you read up my old son, before telling me I don't know my business!
    4
  1387. Glad you like them!
    4
  1388. Glad it was helpful!
    4
  1389. Colchester
    4
  1390. I hope you've done your homework now!
    4
  1391. I imagine no Iron Cross for that particular Panzer commander!
    4
  1392. To be special?
    4
  1393. There will be some Channel Island videos later in the year as I shall be filming in the islands next month.
    4
  1394. I made a Freedom of Information Request last year to the National Archives in London. They claimed there are no withheld files. But there is a paucity of files that have been released concerning Himmler's death in British captivity. There should be much more considering the gravity of the event. Bit fishy in my opinion. I presume the interesting files are held by MI6 and/or MI5, and won't see the light of day anytime soon.
    4
  1395. Yes, it's staged. Filmed in the 1920s
    4
  1396. No, this is brand spanking new.
    4
  1397. I also do mind reading.
    4
  1398. I'm currently in seven mainstream documentaries and I'm about to film another one that will be appearing on Netflix later his year.
    4
  1399. Bipod.
    4
  1400. Actually, Genoa to Damascus was a popular route, thence to Brazil or Argentina. I wrote a book about Nazi fugitives called The Last Nazis.
    4
  1401. I will check it out
    4
  1402. Happy birthday!
    4
  1403. Indeed
    4
  1404. They actually changed the carriages bogies for the journey to Moscow
    4
  1405. No need - you can kindly support me at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/markfeltonproductions
    4
  1406. Thank you - please pass on my warmest best wishes to the WW2 veteran you mentioned.
    4
  1407. Thanks for your kind words
    4
  1408. There is nothing political in this video - stop trying to second guess my politics.
    4
  1409. This is a history channel, not current affairs.
    4
  1410. Why? It's a video about an interesting historical incident involving a building now owned by Trump?
    4
  1411. A fairy tale written by the German divisional commander at this action! Look it up.
    4
  1412. Its in the pipeline
    4
  1413. not in 1912 - no such thing.
    4
  1414. Yes, YouTube removed it in 2020 - I've edited and restored it (after all, I put a lot of work into researching it, including visiting the castles in Austria!)
    4
  1415. I appreciate your support
    4
  1416. No, it starts with an explanation of why these men did what they did - historians examine events and try and figure out 'why'.
    4
  1417. The B-17 and B-29 were both used by the RAF.
    4
  1418. I don't think its real. Hope I'm wrong, but they would have found something by now.
    4
  1419. Yes. Ribbentrop, for example, had lived in New York.
    4
  1420. We tried to, but there was a grille over the window, which made it extremely difficult.
    4
  1421. I used two pieces in the video - 'Prussia's Glory' and 'Yorckscher Marsch'. Easy to find on YouTube if interested. The latter is a recording made by the band of the East German Army (NVA)!
    4
  1422. They do, as I've appeared in a couple of their documentaries!
    4
  1423. Yes, I can confirm you are the winner!
    4
  1424. It's in French - I translated it into English for you!
    4
  1425. They are related.
    4
  1426. No enough - I'll go next door to MI6
    4
  1427. Actually, he earned both. Suggest you read up.
    4
  1428. I'm from Colchester originally - I've known about the L-33 since I was a child and cycled out to Little Wigborough to see the spar in the church.
    4
  1429. Watch Part 1
    4
  1430. No problem, - thanks for watching
    4
  1431. I have absolutely no control over those adverts - none of us creators do.
    4
  1432. Alfred Jodl - injured in the bomb blast at the Wolf's Lair.
    4
  1433. I am really not fond of your comment
    4
  1434. I will
    4
  1435. Beats me - there are twats everywhere these days!
    4
  1436. Yes, a $1 billion difference.
    4
  1437. I saw the battle scene at the beginning - very good.
    4
  1438. Happy Birthday - I celebrated my 48th yesterday!
    4
  1439. It's not quite that easy to do
    4
  1440. I may resist!
    4
  1441. It's still Friday here!
    4
  1442. I've already made a video discussing the Rhine Meadows camps.
    4
  1443. Glad you enjoyed it
    4
  1444. Glad you like them!
    4
  1445. How long have you got
    4
  1446. Yes, I know that Wentworth Woodhouse was British Intelligence HQ in the war, but Wentworth, home of the golf course, was HQ for SAARF. I think I got mixed up!
    4
  1447. It hadn't entered widespread service in England in 1942.
    4
  1448. Crews were too inexperienced
    4
  1449. I understood the USAF lost 2 F-16s, not one.
    4
  1450. You can't show them in the thumbnail, but in the video is perfectly okay.
    4
  1451. They allowed a few Freikorps decorations to be worn, most famously the Baltic Cross. I think there were so many awards about that they wanted to standardise and begin issuing their own Third Reich awards.
    4
  1452. Actually, there will be 4 parts - the last will completely blow your mind!
    4
  1453. SOme of the film I used in this video was from Hitler's visit to Finland - great shots of the Condor up close. If you look carefully, you can even see one of its tires on fire just after landing! A common Condor fault apparently.
    4
  1454. Now I'll have to alter my plan! Drat!
    4
  1455. Thank you for watching
    4
  1456. Apparently, it was 'hate speech' and was removed by YouTube - I'm appealing to have to restored as I can't fathom how it can be labelled as such?
    4
  1457. The infamous 'Wauser'
    4
  1458. Tatra 87 - the caption disappeared!
    4
  1459. The main difference between German and American officers was in their attitude to soldiering. Germans were inheritors of the Prussian military tradition and were also generally derived from the upper strata of society, many being aristocrats and from landowning families. The American officer class tended to be more democrat and of mixed backgrounds, lacking in such a long military lineage and not so steeped in feudalistic ideas of personal honour, family name and rigid adherence to oaths of loyalty etc. The mindset was quite different. Hence, well-educated aristocratic German generals followed Hitler to the very end simply because they had sworn an oath to him, and breaking their oath was a bigger deal than getting their soldiers killed following illogical orders. American and British officers were more practical and less constrained by politics. It's a complicated subject, and worthy of serious study.
    4
  1460. Its the actual name of a very successful type of machine gun in use with the British Army - the GPMG, known as the 'Gimpy'.
    4
  1461. Never heard of the word 'historian'?
    4
  1462. Nit-picking and rude!
    4
  1463. The Braun house was apparently used as a US Army CIC office until 1952.
    4
  1464. Hope you enjoy it!
    4
  1465. Belfast is a cruiser - quite different from a battleship
    4
  1466. I'm working on Episode 1 at the moment, to release in a few days time. The series is taking a lot of research and time to prepare around my regular content, so please bear with me.
    4
  1467. I gave up drinking, so I think it would be more fun for you!
    4
  1468. You too!
    4
  1469. It is actually in the works as I recently stumbled on this fascinating story when researching another aspect of the world of Hermann Goering!
    4
  1470. I meant one parent was American, the other wasn't - rather obvious.
    4
  1471. I am indeed 'one'
    4
  1472. Many thanks!
    4
  1473. Glad you like them!
    4
  1474. Very good. Actually, Mr. Blair went over to the Dark Side some years ago!
    4
  1475. You will. I'm also fascinated by the Cold War and remember it well from childhood!
    4
  1476. Use it or lose it
    4
  1477. I don't think it has anything to do with the wartime era.
    4
  1478. The Russians have already made it!
    4
  1479. I did several more courses & tests with various units, but in the end decided not to go to Sandhurst. Probably a mistake, but I was young and silly!
    4
  1480. His wife sold off some of his medals while he was still alive - apparently caused a bit of a stir!
    4
  1481. Its been done many times
    4
  1482. True
    4
  1483. Yes, I'm an MI5 agent sent to West Malling to root out pronunciation Nazis - my clever use of mispronunciation has flushed you out!
    4
  1484. Of course - plus a regimental accent!
    4
  1485. Adolfus would be the Latin version as entered on his birth certificate due to his Catholicism. It was also the practice in Britain somewhat earlier to record first names in the Latin version and not the English. Many of my ancestors Christian names were noted in Latin by parish priests.
    4
  1486. Just to correct your misapprehension - do look up the activities of the French 1st Army under General De Lattre de Tassigny. It landed as part of General Devers 6th Army Group in S. France and fought through some of the harshest winter campaigning through the Vosges Mountains into Germany. It was composed mostly of excellent French colonial troops from Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco as well as the French 2nd Armoured Division. The latter unit was among the first to reach Hitler's house on the Obersalzberg.
    4
  1487. I believe Youtube don't like it because of its descriptions of suicides.
    4
  1488. Thanks for watching
    4
  1489. The changes on the unrestored car were made after the war by the previous owner. Lauritzen removed these modifications and changed it back to the original spec. Don't worry, there is pretty much unanimous agreement among those in the know that the car was Heydrich's Mannheim-build model,
    4
  1490. I enjoyed it, though it whitewashes Speer - it's free to watch on Youtube as well!
    4
  1491. I've made a video about it.
    4
  1492. No, I think its one of the Freikorps Baltic Crosses.
    4
  1493. Panther and FW-190
    4
  1494. You might want to check the German pronunciation of 'knacker'
    4
  1495. The Hesse Heist is actually linked in the end screen.
    4
  1496. I stand 100% by what I said - take it or leave it.
    4
  1497. Just picked up an original 1950s paperback of his book.
    4
  1498. There were many albums
    4
  1499. I've already covered the Free India Legion in a video, and Bose in videos concerning the INA on my other channel.
    4
  1500. You are! Just keep watching!
    4
  1501. I checked - I think it was a loadmaster.
    4
  1502. Thanks
    4
  1503. Thanks. Will do
    4
  1504. There are about 2,500 Finnish WWII veterans alive today.
    4
  1505. Actually, you might want to look up how Germans pronounce a 'G' and then apologise.
    4
  1506. It would only give the graffiti vandals something else to scrawl all over!
    4
  1507. Thanks for saying so
    4
  1508. Great - glad you enjoyed it.
    4
  1509. They did capture several luxury condors, including Himmler's personal plane. And guess what - the British either scrapped them or gave them to a Danish airline, if I recall, who ended up writing them off in accidents and scrapping them. Himmler's Condor would have made a nice addition to the RAF Museum.
    4
  1510. The BEA planes were ex-Luftwaffe WWII examples.
    4
  1511. I don't recall any West Germans fleeing to the 'freedoms' of East Germany, do you Comrade?
    4
  1512. No offence intended - its a video about a single plane, not a lecture on the entire British war effort at that point. Its a given - everyone knows 'Britain' really means 'British Empire'. You should read my book The Bridge Busters set in 1940 - full of Australians and white South Africans in the RAF.
    4
  1513. Quite a few of the senior officers there that day were plotting against Hitler and probably suspected something would occur.
    4
  1514. Good idea!
    4
  1515. Best comment also!
    4
  1516. One Tiger 1 versus 50 T-34s - the title refers to how many the Tiger faced down, not how many he ended up knocking out.
    4
  1517. Do please watch my videos about the top Soviet female sniper Shanina and the KV-1 last stand outside Leningrad. Such an inaccurate comment.
    4
  1518. I certainly will
    4
  1519. But they didn't have any tanks, as far as is known!
    4
  1520. And also my other channel, which has many Holocaust resistance stories!
    4
  1521. Fascinating - do tell us more
    4
  1522. Its how its pronounced in German. The 'e' on the end of a word is pronounced like an English 'a' = for example 'Porsche', another word many Americans and British struggle to pronounce properly.
    4
  1523. Thanks for watching
    4
  1524. Hope you enjoy it!
    4
  1525. I wasn't suggesting he was. I was merely showing a selection of Hon. officers who happen to be celebrities.
    4
  1526. Did you not watch the video where I discussed Churchill's military career until he left the army in 1924. Try to concentrate!
    4
  1527. I believe the same was said about Field Marshal President for Life Idi Amin, VC, DSO etc, etc...
    4
  1528. I don't think he'd be too upset - he's been dead since 1965 and the historically unquestioning have long ago elevated him to the status of a secular saint. I don't think my little videos will erode that particular posthumous honour.
    4
  1529. Sighs
    4
  1530. The King should have thrown in an open-topped Jaguar or MG sports coupe as well!
    4
  1531. I never suggested his military service was anything but brave and honourable. I was questioning why he received campaign medals for WWII when he was no longer a serving officer. Try watching the video before taking to the keyboard.
    4
  1532. If it's anything to do with Britain, the answer is probably one word - 'cost'
    4
  1533. Well, as he was mostly half inside a bottle, I think I'd have a good chance of avoiding the blow.
    4
  1534. I am.
    4
  1535. Yes, the omnibus edition!
    4
  1536. Yes, the omnibus edition!
    4
  1537. Yes, it was filmed on 20 March 1945, but the 20 April ceremony was not filmed, so it can stand in for it in my video.
    4
  1538. They tried but the charges only half demolished it.
    4
  1539. Will do
    4
  1540. Thanks, and I'll take your suggestion under advisement!
    4
  1541. I wrote a book about them years ago called 'Japan's Gestapo'.
    4
  1542. If I show dead bodies Youtube restricts my videos.
    4
  1543. Nice of you to say
    4
  1544. It's not something they were openly carrying around - it would be concealed along with their false documentation etc and only used in extremis.
    4
  1545. I'd love to, but viewing figures have tended to be disappointing. Shame.
    4
  1546. Enjoy!
    4
  1547. I have to pick words for video titles that are catchy to appeal to the widest audience. I am perfectly aware of the linguistic distinction.
    4
  1548. Great to hear!
    4
  1549. Moron!
    4
  1550. 7-8 hours every night!
    4
  1551. If I don't, YouTube will limit may video. This is a fact.
    4
  1552. Yes - I visited last year!
    4
  1553. Thanks - the video has a PayPal and Patreon link. Appreciated.
    4
  1554. No, its the Swiss National Front flag. Check it.
    4
  1555. Cushty
    4
  1556. Still in use - seen it several times up close.
    4
  1557. Already have
    4
  1558. I prefer Pzkpfw IV, as I think Mark IV doesn't sound Germanic enough - however Tiger and Panther etc sound suitably Teutonic in narration. I'ts a personal preference.
    4
  1559. It was very surprising!
    4
  1560. They are closely related after all.
    4
  1561. Apparently the records were destroyed in a fire.
    4
  1562. I imagine royal weapons were well maintained and carefully stored.
    4
  1563. Thanks
    4
  1564. Sound problem
    4
  1565. Yes, you are! Well done!
    4
  1566. Next time!
    4
  1567. And your gullibility magnificent in its breadth!
    4
  1568. Many thanks
    4
  1569. The music is just a sample from iMovie.
    4
  1570. Well, the Ariete Armoured Division fought to the death at Alamein, just to explode the myth. As Rommel wrote afterwards: "in the Ariete we lost our oldest Italian comrades, from whom we had probably always demanded more than they, with their poor armament, had been capable of performing"
    4
  1571. Many thanks - it would be great if you would consider supporting me on Patreon for only $1 a month: https://www.patreon.com/markfeltonproductions
    4
  1572. Don't worry, I've got plenty of new ones in the works that may surprise you
    4
  1573. I certainly will
    4
  1574. Logo of the Hitler Squadron
    4
  1575. If you read the news reports from the time, there was some animosity expressed, though I don't think in your village, rather more generally in the UK.
    4
  1576. That was when he had the choice of a British-made car!
    4
  1577. The RAF did the same to Germany in 1939, losing many planes and men.
    4
  1578. The answer is Douglas MacArthur.
    4
  1579. Have you even watched the video?
    4
  1580. What are you moaning about, you get to watch my films for free.
    4
  1581. Only Americans pronounce it that way!
    4
  1582. Patton was 6'2"
    4
  1583. Well said.
    4
  1584. I don't whitewash anything - I simply report what multiple investigations found.
    4
  1585. You have new information us historians don't know about?
    4
  1586. Yes, I will.
    3
  1587. Don't be ridiculous. I'm stating what happened.
    3
  1588. You are confusing two different points and arriving at an emotional but biased conclusion. Read more.
    3
  1589. I'll probably get sued when I reveal their dirty secrets!
    3
  1590. I filmed them myself - I'm a time traveller.
    3
  1591. I have an original M16, and I concur, much heavier than other WW1 helmets. Solid bit of kit.
    3
  1592. Actually his name is Romano Benito Floriani Mussolini
    3
  1593. The photo of Alessandra was released BY HER to Wikipedia and is provided via Creative Commons.
    3
  1594. Then please consider subscribing.
    3
  1595. The problem remains his nationality - American. There's a great radio doc on Youtube discussing the case with various top British legal minds (sorry, can't remember the name of the doc). Easy to search.
    3
  1596. Actually, an entire unit of the British Army's Pioneer Corps was recruited from German Jews, and the Intelligence Corps and T-Force etc employed many. They were largely refugees from Germany and Austria from 1930s. The Americans did likewise.
    3
  1597. Thanks
    3
  1598. I was referring to the Battle of Berlin
    3
  1599. I didn't say it was a monument to rapists, I said some Berliners called it that.
    3
  1600. It was a Private who shot himself while maintaining a .30 cal MG.
    3
  1601. I can send out signed stickers to anyone who buys copies of my books via bookshops or Amazon - much simpler than posting heavy books! Just send me an address at hello@markfelton.co.uk
    3
  1602. Happy new year!
    3
  1603. Morning!
    3
  1604. 60 a day will give you that voice too!
    3
  1605. Yes, great film.
    3
  1606. You did read the video title?
    3
  1607. Thank you
    3
  1608. Thanks. Some of the topics you mention are intriguing.
    3
  1609. Great suggestion!
    3
  1610. My pleasure!
    3
  1611. I agree!
    3
  1612. They did make an bombardment of Aruba in the Caribbean, but it wasn't very successful. To hit NYC accurately a U-boat would have had to enter the harbour and tangled with US patrol boats and aircraft, not to mention shore batteries.
    3
  1613. Glad you like them!
    3
  1614. Hope you enjoyed it!
    3
  1615. During the initial Japanese sub ops along the West Coast after Pearl Harbor, skippers were ordered to sink US merchantmen with their deck guns, or to only expend one torpedo per ship. Hitting the ships from moving decks proved difficult, and the one torpedo per ship rule meant that they usually missed - any normal submarine operation would involve firing a spread of about 3 torpedoes at the moving enemy ship to guarantee a hit. The Japanese also had some probs with their Long Lances exploded prematurely or set too deep and passing beneath the enemy's keel and then exploding some distance beyond.
    3
  1616. Thanks, will do!
    3
  1617. Already made
    3
  1618. I actually worked for the People's Liberation Army as a foreign lecturer for part of my time in China - that was interesting, to say the least!
    3
  1619. I don't meant to state the obvious, but the United States controls Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, the American Virgin Islands, American Samoa and the Northern Marianas Islands, none particularly close to the mainland. Guam, for example, is over 7,000 miles from the US. Glass houses, old bean, glass houses!
    3
  1620. You don't swallow a glass cyanide capsule - rather you crunch it between the teeth. Interestingly, the post-mortem dental report, of which I have a copy, makes no mention of glass fragments in the gums or soft tissue of the mouth, which seems strange given the stated method of death. The plot thickens....
    3
  1621. Freedom of Information requests have been made, but obviously there is something in those files still too sensitive to release as some people involved are still living.
    3
  1622. Actually, the Indiana Jones tank was completely faked up and based on a very rare design that was hardly produced, and they added a turret. Rather like the imaginary German aircraft in Raiders of the Lost Ark. But I don't mind, as the Indy films 1-3 are among my favourites!
    3
  1623. Video following shortly - hope you will enjoy it.
    3
  1624. All will be explained in a future episode.
    3
  1625. They no longer exist - cremated by the KGB in the 1970s.
    3
  1626. Youtube rules regarding dead bodies
    3
  1627. Friendly fire incident
    3
  1628. I'm trying for History Channel retro
    3
  1629. Thanks for watching
    3
  1630. Welcome aboard!
    3
  1631. I know - I was referring to no-one asking to borrow them from the special library to conduct research within the reading rooms.
    3
  1632. I've been looking into this on and off for some years - I feel a video may be coming!
    3
  1633. A few words of English.
    3
  1634. No one's forcing you to watch it!
    3
  1635. I know, I photographed it - its just for illustration purposes.
    3
  1636. Allegedly
    3
  1637. War between nations is governed by internationally agreed laws such as The Hague and Geneva Conventions, and armies are governed by their own codes of military conduct. Nowhere in the German Military Code did it state that soldiers should rape/murder surrendered enemy combatants. The orders to do so were issued illegally under both German and international laws, and the officers responsible would have faced trial after the war if they had survived.
    3
  1638. I think you'll find these subjects have been well covered by historians, notably Sir Antony Beevor in his book 'Berlin 1945'. There are many mainstream TV programmes about Soviet atrocities in Germany in 1945, including many German-made productions. And I've already made a video about the 'Rhine Meadows Camps' controversy.
    3
  1639. That was my wife playing the piano downstairs!
    3
  1640. Many thanks
    3
  1641. Thank you so much 😀
    3
  1642. It's a shame - you might have enjoyed a sensible examination of the subject.
    3
  1643. My pleasure!
    3
  1644. Glad to hear it!
    3
  1645. Watch the video and consider the evidence I present. I lay it out in a calm and logical manner.
    3
  1646. You should read some of my recent books!
    3
  1647. Thanks
    3
  1648. I have to give you that one!
    3
  1649. And I didn't say they were.
    3
  1650. Gold Medal of Military Merit, I believe.
    3
  1651. Already have.
    3
  1652. Watch the video before making comments.
    3
  1653. Well, there is nothing stopping you from making videos proving I'm wrong or highlighting Allied war crimes. Just send me the links and I'll be happy to write my thoughts in your comments sections.
    3
  1654. They were selectively racist - read up on SS recruitment and Himmler's attitudes about certain racial groups, such as Bosnian Muslims.
    3
  1655. No, I was referring to the Volksgrenadier divisions that had made the initial breakthroughs, not the organic panzer grenadiers with the tank divisions.
    3
  1656. Most historians agree that the trial was botched, with intimidation of defendants and various malpractices. It actually harmed the chances of finding the real murderers among Peiper's command.
    3
  1657. A few weeks ago I made a video about the "Dachau Massacre", when US troops shot SS guards etc when they liberated the camp.
    3
  1658. Incorrect - you really should read more before making ill-informed comments.
    3
  1659. I was showing why Mills-Roberts probably did what he did, and why Milch was complicit in the crimes due to his control over aircraft production. You really need to read and think more.
    3
  1660. They were legal executions of military murderers and rapists. All nations did this.
    3
  1661. Of course not - Keitel and Jodl were executed because they were so close to Hitler and his planning of operations and promulgation of orders to execute certain groups, among other things. They were not field commanders fighting battles. Many German generals were prosecuted for war crimes or various other offences, and some did time. Others were released without charge or merely interviewed for posterity.
    3
  1662. They had been court martialled and sentenced to death for various crimes.
    3
  1663. Usually for murder - which is a military capital crime during wartime. Some serious bad apples.
    3
  1664. Yes, the Nuremberg Trial transcripts are available in several archives and probably online as well.
    3
  1665. One of the type is preserved in the RAF Museum Hendon if memory serves
    3
  1666. Przynajmniej tyle mogę zrobić.
    3
  1667. We won't mention George W. Bush then.
    3
  1668. Already have clever clogs - https://youtu.be/pvMkc4K5JTw?si=ih7GE_2wG0Ianxv2
    3
  1669. You should probably watch my video 'Hitler's Russian Army' before spouting off at me - I have covered both sides in some detail!
    3
  1670. All the context is available in my video about the SS Galizien that I recommended viewers watch first before commenting - you clearly didn't pay attention!
    3
  1671. Actually, you also have memorials to the 14th SS Galizien, notably Elkins Park, Philadelphia. I will make a video about it in the future.
    3
  1672. They took an explicit oath to Hitler, and wore the uniform of the SS, and fought under German military command. I'd say they fought for Germany.
    3
  1673. I never suggested they did - they surrendered to British forces after fleeing from the Soviets.
    3
  1674. A pleasure
    3
  1675. No museum ships I'm afraid, even if still commissioned otherwise I may as well add HMS Victory.
    3
  1676. Good idea
    3
  1677. Wrong on both counts - the Ventnor raid is only a rumour with very little evidence to support it, and the bomber crew that resisted were mopped up by a regular Irish battalion, not Home Guards. Check out my video on the latter.
    3
  1678. I will.
    3
  1679. Allied submarines and overwhelming air power?
    3
  1680. I am delighted to welcome you aboard - happy watching
    3
  1681. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel
    3
  1682. Nothing like a slice of cheese with your burger!
    3
  1683. Don't be childish - I was simply telling one interesting and overlooked story - I can't cover every single thing in one video.
    3
  1684. Welcome to the channel
    3
  1685. I'll have to do a video on the Lovat Commandos being piped off their landing craft and into action! Nothing like 'The Black Bear' to get the old fighting spirit up.
    3
  1686. I love my job with a passion, and getting people hooked on my addition is a wonderful feeling!
    3
  1687. It was an SC250
    3
  1688. I did do a video some time ago about a Canberra mission over the USSR, near Stalingrad
    3
  1689. It is
    3
  1690. No unfortunately!
    3
  1691. Thanks for your support
    3
  1692. Look it up if you don't believe me - there's plenty of source material
    3
  1693. I did, years ago.
    3
  1694. 301.3km to Story, St. Kilda, Scotland 423.2km to Tory Island, County Donegal, Ireland The maths is self explanatory.
    3
  1695. 301.3km to Story, St. Kilda, Scotland 423.2km to Tory Island, County Donegal, Ireland
    3
  1696. 301.3km to Story, St. Kilda, Scotland 423.2km to Tory Island, County Donegal, Ireland
    3
  1697. Check out my other channel and a video I made on the Yangtze Incident. Simon was a major player!
    3
  1698. I did a video years ago about Blondi
    3
  1699. No, he didn't. You do some research.
    3
  1700. Already have
    3
  1701. I'm a historian, discussing historical events. There's nothing stopping you making videos I can critique - exercise your freedom of speech.
    3
  1702. It was something separate from the conservative and traditional Foreign Office that the Nazis could completely control from top to bottom - a shadow foreign office if you like.
    3
  1703. I have already made a video about this!
    3
  1704. Already made a video about it
    3
  1705. Apologies - I must have been thinking the plane was a bit pants!
    3
  1706. Yes, I often lecture on WWII
    3
  1707. Yes - searching for juicy stories
    3
  1708. My pleasure
    3
  1709. Canada
    3
  1710. That's what I'm hoping too!
    3
  1711. No, this was the other time - Hostau, Czechoslovakia. Much bigger battle
    3
  1712. No, they are all standalone subjects. If you like narrative non-fiction, my last 3 books are recommended.
    3
  1713. Well, it is my channel. Sadly, an awful lot of my subscribers have no idea I'm an author and I thought it might interest them to know. There are subjects my books cover that can't be covered by short videos.
    3
  1714. The Hitler library is one of my forthcoming videos - I researched it some time ago, so watch this space.
    3
  1715. Ask a Texan
    3
  1716. I understand that the lighthouse beam is shielded on the landward side.
    3
  1717. They did, in parts.
    3
  1718. Only if you looked out of your window and I was standing in your garden with my two buddies!
    3
  1719. It is.
    3
  1720. The latter.
    3
  1721. I added the circle, otherwise my video will be blocked. Don't worry, the actual video has all the correct insignia!
    3
  1722. I agree - modern war films are terrible, with the exception of 'When Trumpets Fade' and I also really enjoyed 'The Monuments Men', which had more of the spirit of those classic war films. I could go on....
    3
  1723. Unfortunately, I ran out of time that day as I ended up in the Airborne Museum at the Hotel Hartenstein. Hopefully, in the future...
    3
  1724. None of the my videos have ever been biased - they are always objective and analytical. You must be thinking of another channel.
    3
  1725. Then you take it up with the Croatian government, who released this to the media.
    3
  1726. A pleasure
    3
  1727. On a military history channel? I would say to you 'go read a book', as I'm sure academics have covered this very well.
    3
  1728. The KGB with "German influences"
    3
  1729. It is from the 1970s and shows the countries I am discussing. A modern map is not relevant due to name and boundary changes.
    3
  1730. The Germans commissioned a Japanese firm to make a series of Iron Crosses for them - these particular medals are very valuable today.
    3
  1731. No, you have been educated - free of charge I might add!
    3
  1732. You need to read a history book - you are completely wrong in your description of the Japanese surrender.
    3
  1733. I think the shame lies with the Japanese government for refusing to surrender and sacrificing their people. You should really read up on the circumstances surrounding the use of the atomic bombs.
    3
  1734. No, I don't do 'fakes'.
    3
  1735. My pleasure, son.
    3
  1736. My listing of the B-29's features came after the Silverplate's problems had been ironed out and the Lancaster dropped from the mission. But, as I said, if your Silverplate B-29s weren't ready, the Lancs would have performed the mission.
    3
  1737. No, it didn't. My new video will explain the Japanese surrender and the atomic bombings in detail. Standby...
    3
  1738. I do think a few Japanese held out beyond Lt. Onoda's capture in 1974, perhaps into the 1980s or '90s. Unverified reports in various parts of Asia surfaced up to the late '90s.
    3
  1739. Of course
    3
  1740. The mysteries of surname pronunciation, particularly amongst cavalry and guards officers! On a lighter note, there was a WWII British Parachute Regiment officer named Lieutenant-Colonel Pine-Coffin. Easy to pronounce and memorable!
    3
  1741. My paternal grandfather fought at Kohima and Imphal - his stories sparked my interest in military history as a boy
    3
  1742. I was referring to Stauffenberg and three plotters who were shot in the courtyard of the Bendlerblock in Berlin on 20 July 1944. What you are referring to were the executions following show trials months later.
    3
  1743. I was referring to the fighting in the Western Desert, not the later US involvement after Torch.
    3
  1744. Sorry, the previous viewing figures were quite low so I'm in two minds as to whether to make it.
    3
  1745. They were planning to.
    3
  1746. I will be as I've written about it in my book The Fujita Plan.
    3
  1747. I haven’t made it yet
    3
  1748. As I mentioned in Episode 1.
    3
  1749. It is a Viking word for market place
    3
  1750. I made one about the famous Romanian women pilots of the White Squadron.
    3
  1751. I'm looking into that topic
    3
  1752. I imagine they have rotted to nothing, being wooden, though the detonators and TNT might still be potent.
    3
  1753. Remember, it's buried, which absorbs some of the power. Enough to blow off a foot or the bottom of a leg I should imagine.
    3
  1754. Me too - absolutely fascinating with added menace!
    3
  1755. It is now being developed into a tv series, so watch this space!
    3
  1756. Not quite. Actually the Paris Gun could fire shells to a maximum altitude of 42.3km (26.3 miles), well below the V-2, and not above the NASA definition of space.
    3
  1757. The Italian Co-Belligerent Forces is another story for another time.
    3
  1758. A pleasure sir
    3
  1759. I went about 14 years ago, would like to go back.
    3
  1760. Alright, calm down!
    3
  1761. I'm sorry to hear that
    3
  1762. Glad you like them!
    3
  1763. Steady on!
    3
  1764. One word - Apartheid
    3
  1765. Happy birthday!
    3
  1766. I'm 46, so many thanks!
    3
  1767. Glad you enjoyed it!
    3
  1768. One of my favourite places to holiday! The people really are very nice.
    3
  1769. I'm going to in the future.
    3
  1770. I removed it, as I'm planning on making a much improved new version that is much longer.
    3
  1771. We changed PM half way through the meeting, so both attended.
    3
  1772. I'd like to clear up this misnomer. During WWII and until 1947 the British Indian Army contained British troops as well as Indians and Gurkhas. Each infantry brigade consisted of three battalions - one British, and either two Indian or one Indian and one Gurkha. So, with two brigades making up an infantry division, there would have been at least 2 British battalions on strength. My paternal grandfather was in the 2nd Battalion, The Suffolk Regiment in Burma, part of the 5th Indian Infantry Division.  British, Indian and Gurkha troops faced the same hardships, dangers and casualties. It was certainly not the case that we were 'using' Indians to do the fighting. All the veterans I've interviewed had the utmost respect for the superb fighting qualities of Indian troops. The problem today is that most people are ill-educated about the British campaigns in Asia, which are completely overshadowed by the American Pacific campaign, sidelined and ignored. Vietnam was just one postwar campaign where Burma veterans of all races performed splendidly. By the end of WWII, most of the officers in Indian battalions were Indians rather than Brits, laying the foundation for the excellent and professional officer corps of the post-independence armies of India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
    3
  1773. From 1939 onwards, his political uniform was put away in exchange for his supreme commander's uniform (incorporating of course some political elements!).
    3
  1774. Bit of immersion for you
    3
  1775. I'm a historian you numpty - it's my specialist field.
    3
  1776. No, the family was changed to Hitler some years previously - suggest you read up before criticising my knowledge.
    3
  1777. Please enlighten me - I presume you have access to secret history books we haven't yet read?
    3
  1778. Watch first, then comment.
    3
  1779. That's classified!
    3
  1780. Extensive US testing reported that the 262 was superior in most regards.
    3
  1781. The US Embassy is no longer on Grosvenor Square, but when it was, the land it sat on was owned by the Duke of Westminster (the Grosvenor family).
    3
  1782. The only problem is, as you can't legally own such a weapon in the UK, how do you transport it to the JFK acre?
    3
  1783. Maybe I will start a trend of women giving birth in the long grass within the JFK acre!
    3
  1784. I don't think so, any more than war cemeteries to Allied dead in Europe belong to the UK, US, Canada etc.
    3
  1785. I presume you've viewed the Zapruder film?
    3
  1786. I only named Chinese tanks used prior to 1938. What you are referring to are Chinese tanks supplied to Chiang Kai-shek during WWII.
    3
  1787. You are so welcome!
    3
  1788. Been done too many times - I'd prefer to find something similar, but forgotten.
    3
  1789. It is indeed shocking and regrettable that this important event has been ignored by the mainstream media.
    3
  1790. I think 3 were sent.
    3
  1791. Coming soon!
    3
  1792. No, he was overseeing training and preps for D-Day like all of the other generals!
    3
  1793. Finally, someone noticed my Tarantino line!
    3
  1794. Happy Birthday!
    3
  1795. Occasionally - he wasn't completely teetotal.
    3
  1796. There never was any body double. No proof has ever surfaced.
    3
  1797. Total hogwash.
    3
  1798. We will never know - as I said, the testimonies don't match up to the medical and forensic evidence. How Hitler ultimately died is not known. But I think Herr Linge knew.
    3
  1799. You are too gullible - examine actual evidence and really consider the personality of Adolf Hitler while you are at it.
    3
  1800. So sorry, please also apologise to the other nuns.
    3
  1801. Watch the entire series!
    3
  1802. What about the Soviet pathologists and the Western Allied investigators, were they all liars and deluded?
    3
  1803. We were extremely put out. We went ahead an built an atomic bomb that was more advanced than what the Americans had. Then the US wanted to be friends again!
    3
  1804. I didn't know! No insult intended.
    3
  1805. I believe bragging rights were well earned on these two occasions.
    3
  1806. Yes.
    3
  1807. I did mention the hunger and famine.
    3
  1808. What a surprise!
    3
  1809. You misunderstand my ironic labels.
    3
  1810. I was, of course, being ironic, a British trait.
    3
  1811. Which is what I said in the video...
    3
  1812. I've written many books about the Japanese in WWII, from a multitude of original archival sources. I can assure you that you are incorrect or have exaggerated events to fit your argument. Don't take my word for it, or heresay accounts, try reading the large body of work on Japanese strategy during the war. Isolate Australia, certainly, launch nuisance raids, yes, but invade. Even the Japanese were not that insane.
    3
  1813. You are both ill-informed and insulting. Read some books, or failing that, some Wikipedia pages on the French 1st Army in Italy, France and Germany.
    3
  1814. I expect I could - I taught a 10-week course all about the American Civil War about 15 years ago!
    3
  1815. Thanks
    3
  1816. Thanks, but I'm British
    3
  1817. Thank you very much!
    3
  1818. There were two inspections, only the March one being filmed. I used this film to stand in for the April ceremony.
    3
  1819. I'm sending the Spelling Nazis after you for that comment!
    3
  1820. Harpy
    3
  1821. Name? Didn't appear in any documents, and I've got piles of them.
    3
  1822. To be fair, I must point out that many German princes were killed serving in the military on the front lines in WWII. Some were members of the families that were at the castle in 1945.
    3
  1823. Not many diamonds to be had in Vietnam, me thinks?
    3
  1824. Returned to families or cremated if unclaimed in 1945.
    3
  1825. Many thanks for your continuing support of my channel
    3
  1826. The collection belongs to the Dutch state.
    3
  1827. No-one could foresee the future. Emperor Hirohito was also made a Knight of the Garter.
    3
  1828. Thanks for watching!
    3
  1829. I'm working on something at the moment!
    3
  1830. Someone was recently arrested for selling a live German incendiary via Ebay.
    3
  1831. He had a glass eye - the other one I can't account for.
    3
  1832. I think its important to be correct
    3
  1833. I have already made a video about the Azov Battalion.
    3
  1834. Yes, I lived and worked in China for 9 years, and swastikas were also everywhere.
    3
  1835. That would be interesting!
    3
  1836. Not my line
    3
  1837. I was being sarcastic
    3
  1838. I have a series of audio episodes on this subject on my other channel, War Stories with Mark Felton.
    3
  1839. Hiroshima was an air burst - apparently the radiation is quickly dispersed.
    3
  1840. Alsace was a French province from 1918 until 1940.
    3
  1841. Nobody is forcing you to watch my videos.
    3
  1842. Steady on!
    3
  1843. It's just a rhyming subtitle!
    3
  1844. It's just a rhyming sub-title! I use the term 'Netherlands' throughout the entire video.
    3
  1845. It's just a rhyming sub-title! I use the term 'Netherlands' throughout the entire video.
    3
  1846. Badly colourised b&w Dutch flag?
    3
  1847. I'm actually going to be doing that, plus Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, in the future.
    3
  1848. Many thanks, I actually wrote a book about Unit 731 called 'The Devils Doctors' - very gruesome subject and I fear any video would not meet YouTube monetisation rules! - it would be great if you would consider supporting me on Patreon for only $1 a month: https://www.patreon.com/markfeltonproductions
    3
  1849. Many thanks - it would be great if you would consider supporting me on Patreon for only $1 a month: https://www.patreon.com/markfeltonproductions
    3
  1850. I think those old French tanks were fine for Panzer Kompanie Paris - just 'showing the flag' and could be used for civil insurgency etc. But when it came to 1944, they should have been dug in to give them a little more protection.
    3
  1851. Glad to welcome you aboard

  1853. verb BRITISH past tense: disorientated; past participle: disorientated cause (someone) to lose their sense of direction. "when he emerged into the street he was totally disorientated" synonyms:confused, bewildered, perplexed, nonplussed, at a loss, (all) at sea, in a state of confusion, in a muddle; More make (someone) feel confused.

    3
  1855. Been done to death - there are loads of YouTube videos on this subject.
    3
  1856. No - thats the Empire State Building crash
    3
  1857. Let me make this quite clear - I was referring to accidents, not deliberate attacks using aeroplanes.
    3
  1858. 9/11 has nothing to do with accidents. This video is about two aircraft accidents.
    3
  1859. Considering I've written several internationally published books about Nazi war crimes and the Holocaust, I would dispute that most strongly. You, sir, are obviously a troll or very deluded.
    3
  1860. You'd be surprised.
    3
  1861. They were for an armoured plate to help protect snipers in WW1 - must have made the helmet very front heavy.
    3
  1862. Better check the loft, pronto!
    3
  1863. I've saved you a seat on the Outrage Bus.
    3
  1864. If I did, I imagine I'd never hear the end of it!
    3
  1865. Actually, I've already made a video about the Ukrainian Waffen-SS, and I've made several videos about Ukrainian Trawniki SS guards in the concentration camps, so you might like to do your research on me before criticising.
    3
  1866. 👋
    3
  1867. Happy birthday!
    3
  1868. Thank you! Will do!
    3
  1869. Glad you like them!
    3
  1870. 16 million in 1945 dollars would be hundreds of millions today!
    3
  1871. Don't worry, the Germans off-shored vast amount of wealth and industrial patents in the year before the war ended, and this all flowed back into West Germany in the 1950s. Read about the Maison Rouge Meeting for details.
    3
  1872. Myth
    3
  1873. Welcome aboard!
    3
  1874. I didn't pass any judgements on Churchill, simply stated the facts of the event. You are the one pontificating and blaming me for something I didn't say.
    3
  1875. Young Winston - great film.
    3
  1876. Nope - though Jack Higgins makes a rather cryptic claim in the book's foreword.
    3
  1877. North Face
    3
  1878. Allegedly!
    3
  1879. Not in this video - if you are referring to the Me262, its a full size replica flying at a German airshow!
    3
  1880. Look harder
    3
  1881. They captured huge amounts of British supplies and cannibalised other tanks as well.
    3
  1882. What are you complaining about - you got to watch the video for free.
    3
  1883. If you were clever, you would drip feed them onto the market rather than flood the place all at once. And I think demand among collectors would still keep the price high even if all released at once.

  1885. If you were clever, you would drip feed them onto the market rather than flood the place all at once. And I think demand among collectors would still keep the price high even if all released at once.
    3
  1886. If you were clever, you would drip feed them onto the market rather than flood the place all at once. And I think demand among collectors would still keep the price high even if all released at once.
    3
  1887. I think demand among collectors would still keep the price high even if all released at once.
    3
  1888. I have a few!
    3
  1889. Dr. Jones told me
    3
  1890. Onwards and upwards!
    3
  1891. Perhaps I work for the Galactic Empire!
    3
  1892. Fortunately, I don't have to wear a silly costume while I'm making the videos.
    3
  1893. You are not far wrong!
    3
  1894. Thanks and will do!
    3
  1895. Not according to Rock Island Auctions catalogue
    3
  1896. The armband was sewn on to the tunic, so it would have been difficult to remove!
    3
  1897. No - its been done by others.
    3
  1898. United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
    3
  1899. And there are still some more P38s and B17s down there awaiting a similar treatment!
    3
  1900. I know - but I don't want to spend half the video explaining Canadian politics!
    3
  1901. Thanks! Will do!
    3
  1902. Thank you
    3
  1903. Thank you
    3
  1904. I've covered their activities on my other channel, and written about them in three books.
    3
  1905. No - Slovakia had ceded from the union with the Czechs shortly before the German invasion.
    3
  1906. I was reading about this a couple of days ago - truly a forgotten conflict.
    3
  1907. Glad you like them!
    3
  1908. I think you are the fourth person to bring me up on this point, and you are all sadly wrong. Bismarck was created a prince in 1871 (Fürst von Bismarck) but he was not born a prince, and in 1890 created Duke of Lauenburg. The House of Bismarck exists today, and here is a link to the current Prince von Bismarck: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_von_Bismarck Hopefully this issue is now settled.
    3
  1909. Yes, he was a Prince - created Prince of Bismarck by the Kaiser. Look it up - his descendent still uses the title.
    3
  1910. Sadly, no.
    3
  1911. Well done!
    3
  1912. Or the SLR. Certainly cut down on all that changing arms every five minutes routine.
    3
  1913. I haven't forgotten about Ravensbruck - the video is about Dachau, says so in the title.
    3
  1914. Everything is running fine with my channels, but many thanks for your concern.
    3
  1915. My channel has not been demonetised - its a strange rumour of unknown origins.
    3
  1916. An older photo from when Sparks was younger.
    3
  1917. It will be back soon
    3
  1918. Actually, I am Dr. Mark Felton - I have a PhD in history!
    3
  1919. No, you have forgotten that Niven never played Bond in an official Eon Productions film.
    3
  1920. Typo!
    3
  1921. It was the official name of the craft, as recorded in all history books and in museum exhibits.
    3
  1922. Grow up
    3
  1923. Losses from accidents are also counted in active military operations, and the NATO build-up in Eastern Europe along the Ukraine border is an active military operation.
    3
  1924. To show you an interesting and largely unknown aspect of history.
    3
  1925. The Irish Guards recruits from both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
    3
  1926. You are very welcome
    3
  1927. Many of his medals were looted, some are in museums or private collections.
    3
  1928. Already have
    3
  1929. It was ordered created by Hitler, who was, I think you will agree, the head Nazi of a National Socialist state. Whether they went to party members or ordinary officers is irrelevant. The German Army didn't create them.
    3
  1930. I doubt it, otherwise Goring would have been shamed and removed by Himmler. He was a rival after all.
    3
  1931. Thanks - I'm looking forward to visiting Doorn once Covid-19 has been consigned to history.
    3
  1932. I believe Darkdocs has made a video about it.
    3
  1933. I should hope so!
    3
  1934. The King was not informed. Had the mission succeeded, the British Government would have simply said that the Kaiser had been killed during a normal military operation.
    3
  1935. I will.
    3
  1936. I remember filming it!
    3
  1937. The terms have always been used interchangeably - just watch any old British or American programme from the Cold War-era.
    3
  1938. Imagine shouting "Heil Spanknoebel" and trying to keep a straight face!
    3
  1939. Yes, as you saw in the footage.
    3
  1940. You have no idea. The moaning Minnies line up for this sort of thing.
    3
  1941. The Pandemic has slowed down the process, but things are still progressing well.
    3
  1942. The Chinese Labour Corps was under British officers and the men contracted to the UK military. The Chinese wore uniforms but were not soldiers in the strictest sense of the word. Interestingly, several did earn British gallantry medals for brave deeds under fire. They never entered the front lines are formed infantry units to fight.
    3
  1943. Me too!
    3
  1944. Would have been difficult to shoot Hitler owing to the fact that no officers except his bodyguards were permitted to carry side arms in his presence.
    3
  1945. I used to love those comics, and Tintin!
    3
  1946. He couldn't - there, that only took 2 seconds.
    3
  1947. No it isn't - this is brand new!
    3
  1948. Yes, it was.
    3
  1949. I won't hold my breath.
    3
  1950. That's a bit of a harsh comment, don't you think?
    3
  1951. Thank you for watching
    3
  1952. Perhaps one day - the one's I make at the moment take a fair amount of doing and I don't want to pad things out unnecessarily.
    3
  1953. Thanks for your continued support
    3
  1954. I will in the future - I've written about them in 'The Real Tenko'.
    3
  1955. Yes, and it didn't end well - perhaps a video in the future...
    3
  1956. Happy birthday!
    3
  1957. Shot them, according to what I've read.
    3
  1958. POW camps
    3
  1959. No, I was differentiating between the Western Front and those US nurses captured by the Japanese in the Pacific Theatre!
    3
  1960. I am!
    3
  1961. I'll look into it.
    3
  1962. Thanks. Will do
    3
  1963. Well done! Gold
    3
  1964. Thanks very much
    3
  1965. Thanks for watching
    3
  1966. Thanks for the lovely comments!
    3
  1967. Yes
    3
  1968. Each video takes a few days to create.
    3
  1969. Most of the Kaiser's medals were given to his family and are in Germany today. A few remain at Doorn and will feature in a future video.
    3
  1970. Seized as 'enemy property' in 1945.
    3
  1971. I know, but the Prussians played an important part too!
    3
  1972. That's interesting. Thanks for sharing
    3
  1973. It really is a fascinating topic
    3
  1974. Historical enquiry seems like a good enough reason to me - but each to his own.
    3
  1975. Ah, the voice of the true lover of history.
    3
  1976. They were valued at $40,000 at the time, a not inconsiderable sum!
    3
  1977. I was being ironic.
    3
  1978. Watch before insulting - defence analysts haven't discounted what I'm outlining.
    3
  1979. I noticed that too - virtually no coverage in the UK.
    3
  1980. You are right - I wasn't concentrating!
    3
  1981. Cremated
    3
  1982. Yes - he would holiday in Corfu and work on digs. Probably not so many trees to chop down in warmer climes?
    3
  1983. Will do
    3
  1984. I saw one carriage in a museum in Berlin recently.
    3
  1985. No, but I think that if it was auctioned in the US, there's a fair chance it was 'liberated' by some GI and brought home. Elementary, my dear Watson.
    3
  1986. It is factually accurate and non-political. Your are projecting your bias onto my work.
    3
  1987. You are wrong
    3
  1988. Disorientated is the British-English correct pronunciation - look it up in the OED old bean!
    3
  1989. Why don't you read General Gerhard Raus' version of what happened - he was commanding the 6th Panzer Division at the time.
    3
  1990. Jog on
    3
  1991. I've written 22 books - much better value than some cheap tat!
    3
  1992. You obviously haven't watched my video as its entirely about history or established facts.
    3
  1993. It must be wonderful to be able to work for free.
    3
  1994. He received the DSO for this operation and also the Polish Virtuti Militari Cross.
    3
  1995. And pants, suspenders and a fanny are all either underwear or women's bits in Britain. American-English is a dialect of the original mother tongue. Historical divergence in the 18th century. Just be thankful you don't still use French spellings!
    3
  1996. You may like to look up 'Tube Alloys' and also Bletchley Park.
    3
  1997. This video was originally made in 2020 by me, then was removed by YouTube. I have now edited and reloaded it. Nobody else has made this video!!!!
    3
  1998. Yes, I do.
    3
  1999. Yellow was to help hide them in fields during harvest time.
    3
  2000. I will at some point
    3
  2001. For clarity's sake, I asked viewers to first watch my detailed video about the 14th SS, which laid out in detail the reasons why men joined this unit. I have also made a video about Vlasov and Russian collaborators with the Germans.
    3
  2002. The Tornado was only part-British as it was a collaborate Euro-project with Germany and Italy.
    3
  2003. Already covered it
    3
  2004. That particular Lancaster had more crew aboard that were travelling back to the UK.
    3
  2005. Which I wrote a book about - check out 'The Sea Devils'.
    3
  2006. Which is what I said!
    3
  2007. Are you subscribed?
    3
  2008. It's a saddle Wilhelm had modified as a desk chair.
    3
  2009. I've taught history for years!
    3
  2010. I'd like to make Parts 3 and 4 soon. They are on the extremely long list of forthcoming programmes!
    3
  2011. I used 'Prussia's Glory' and 'Yorckscher Marsch'.
    3
  2012. The heart and entrails remain today in Vienna.
    3
  2013. Some
    3
  2014. The Germans didn't wear Sam Browne's, only British Commonwealth - different style altogether.
    3
  2015. Pleasure
    3
  2016. Its from iMovie
    3
  2017. I understand - thanks for watching
    3
  2018. What on earth are you talking about?
    3
  2019. It's not fluff, it is background without which the King's actions would be meaningless to most viewers.
    3
  2020. Actually, you can watch the film 'The One That Got Away' for free on YouTube. It's fairly accurate and quite thrilling.
    3
  2021. I should put that on my resume!
    3
  2022. I never said that! I said that the captured material was extremely useful to their programme and in the period after the war. Why do you think the US launched Operation Paperclip if German scientists were of no value? Why launched the Alsos Mission as well. Please don't oversimplify and misrepresent what I'm saying.
    3
  2023. Nope - listed as heavy. I do my homework.
    3
  2024. I've already appeared on History Channel shows in the past.
    3
  2025. They come up for sale from time to time, and they are legal to drive on British roads (without the Bren gun)!
    3
  2026. We also had the Army Legal Corps, whose job was to prosecute courts martial cases etc. They also still exist as the Army Legal Service, an all-officer unit in the Adjutant General's Corps.
    3
  2027. No, its normally construction equipment bashing them. Though vibrations could possible set one off - a car park being a less than ideal thing to place overhead.
    3
  2028. God knows - the appeal is currently working its way through the system.
    3
  2029. Yes
    3
  2030. Many thanks - I visited the Czech Republic last year when researching my book Ghost Riders - beautiful Bohemian Forest
    3
  2031. Thanks. I enjoyed making Top Tens of Warfare.
    3
  2032. Thanks
    3
  2033. So I expect you will enjoy my forthcoming Christmas Special!
    3
  2034. The Americans hadn't built an atomic weapon yet.
    3
  2035. Actually, they were at Duxford last time I went, about 6 months ago.
    3
  2036. I will investigate!
    3
  2037. Thanks again!
    3
  2038. I humbly disagree (it's not a question of national pride but of historical reality). If you really research the subject, it is clear that the bullet that killed Richthofen entered his body from below, but Brown made one steep diving attack on Richthofen from high above as the Red Baron was attacking Wop May's aircraft. Along with lots of corroborating evidence, its pretty clear that he was killed by ground fire. Richthofen's plane continued to fly aggressively after Wop May immediately following Brown's diving attack, which Richthofen would not have been able to do had Brown fatally wounded him with the single .303 bullet that ultimately killed him. Then Richthofen's plane was seen to stagger and crash land after being fired on at a very low level by Australian machine gunners, ending his attack on May's plane. I believe Richthofen was killed by Sergeant Cedric Popkin.
    3
  2039. My first video old chap
    3
  2040. Thanks - I have always enjoyed my trips to Canada - fantastic people and some great museums. More Canadian videos in the future.
    3
  2041. No, it wasn't. You should watch more carefully and try and absorb my arguments rather than exhibit knee-jerk American superiority. 104 Nazi rocket scientists and technicians helped develop the US space programme - think about that for a moment. They helped immeasurably in getting you to the Moon, and in return you gave them a get out of jail free card. My sarcastic comment about planting a Nazi flag on the Moon wasn't that far from reality.
    3
  2042. Metric
    3
  2043. It wasn't 'friendly fire', those men were killed due to enemy E-boat action!
    3
  2044. Thank you kindly
    3
  2045. If I charged you £30 to visit my house, I would think it exceedingly bad manners if I didn't offer you a free go on the lavatory. But therein lies the stupidity in your argument - Buckingham Palace is not a 'private home', it's a state-maintained palace that is open 2 months a year to the public, and advertised as such. Incidentally, the reason this situation exists is because royal residences and properties are exempt from all usual laws, including health & safety and minimum wage laws. Look it up.
    3
  2046. This was the reason, I believe.
    3
  2047. It wasn't the planes, but rather the crews' inexperience.
    3
  2048. You are not alone
    3
  2049. To be fair, we did bomb Philips on a Sunday, when the place was closed.
    3
  2050. You haven't heard of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia then? Look it up.
    3
  2051. Next time I'll shout 'Ayo Gurkhali!'
    3
  2052. Both are Maltese Crosses. The design is used today in the various classes of the Order of St. John, for example.
    3
  2053. Yes
    3
  2054. This will be a 4-episode series, so enjoy!
    3
  2055. Cancer
    3
  2056. I never said she was - she is the only current head of state who is a WWII veteran.
    3
  2057. She served her country - most soldiers never actually closed with and 'fought' the enemy unless they belonged to first-line infantry or armoured units (teeth arms). And most soldiers didn't get killed in action in WW2 - for every infantryman there were probably 5-10 servicemen and women in the divisional and army logistics chain keeping him supplied, fed and healthy. But they were all doing their bit for King and Country and were all veterans in the most honourable sense.
    3
  2058. You know, you are right!
    3
  2059. Leg braces, waist brace, cane and a companion.
    3
  2060. Great film - one of my favourites. And the Jack Higgins book is even better!
    3
  2061. I'll try my best!
    3
  2062. Damned irritating! I'm reloading.
    3
  2063. Good job it wasn't about Italian tanks!
    3
  2064. It was held by Japanese pharmaceutical companies - some was taken to the US but most, including opium, was allegedly destroyed.
    3
  2065. You did - in 1956. Subject of a forthcoming video!
    3
  2066. I believe that China and Vietnam didn't get along very well. China also fell out with the Soviet Union.
    3
  2067. My caption disappeared, but I was told it was used by the SS as a staff vehicle in Prague.
    3
  2068. Shipped over postwar from Italy or North Africa?
    3
  2069. I've got a few.
    3
  2070. Yes, there were several boys of all ages descended on the scene wide-eyed
    3
  2071. Yes
    3
  2072. Why would I do that?
    3
  2073. Much appreciated!
    3
  2074. Better watch my video about this subject
    3
  2075. A few thousand.
    3
  2076. The first aircraft carrier was indeed British
    3
  2077. Will do
    3
  2078. I may do
    3
  2079. The Nazi flag was the German flag 1933-45. Historical fact.
    3
  2080. There was a drop. He went awry rather badly.
    3
  2081. Never, as far as I know.
    3
  2082. Much appreciated!
    3
  2083. That would never wash - most Chinese view the Qing as foreigners as they were Manchus, not Han.
    3
  2084. Indeed
    3
  2085. I don't think that will add much to the Brexit negotiations!
    3
  2086. Bavarian accents
    3
  2087. I'm very human
    3
  2088. I am planning to in the future.
    3
  2089. I expect so.
    3
  2090. Happy birthday!
    3
  2091. Prussia's Glory
    3
  2092. I'd rather not.
    3
  2093. It was a direct improvement on Tanks Ta-183 design, and was designed and built by Kurt Tank. It was even flown by WWII Focke-Wulf test pilots. I don't think I'm stretching the point that far!
    3
  2094. Did you see the photo of the prewar Argentine Nazi Party rally that I showed - you can probably join the dots. There was huge support among Germans in Argentina for Hitler and Nazi war crimes suspects went to the nation precisely because they could be among their own but safe from prosecution. Plenty of books will explain this information.
    3
  2095. Clearly, you haven't watched the video!
    3
  2096. The Fuhrerbau in Munich is an excellent candidate - when I bluffed my way inside, even the toilets were unchanged from the late 1930s!
    3
  2097. Studio set in England, I believe.
    3
  2098. When I can gain access to the uniforms - I try my best!
    3
  2099. I imagine Churchill's SMGs were deactivated after the laws changed due to their historical value.
    3
  2100. We are.
    3
  2101. They've already made a video about this themselves!
    3
  2102. Korean War
    3
  2103. Jesus
    3
  2104. I was actually doing research on the Laconia Incident last week with a view to a forthcoming video - brushing up since I wrote about it in my first book Yanagi back in 2005
    3
  2105. Try doing your own research about the 1077th, you may be surprised at the role they performed on the first day of Stalingrad.
    3
  2106. Seems that way - which is rather sad as all I'm doing is recounting an historical episode that everyone is free to read and comment about.
    3
  2107. Some did. One was unfortunately executed by the Soviets later in the war for some offence.
    3
  2108. Yes, I will in the future - or something similar and forgotten!
    3
  2109. No, they are named for particular monarchs, so the name stays.
    3
  2110. And the unit has a British CO.
    3
  2111. Don’t you have anything better to do?
    3
  2112. It was because Rudel was an unrepentant Nazi, not because he was a great flier
    3
  2113. So the Americans could have a port in Germany for supplies etc.
    3
  2114. Try reading more.
    3
  2115. I imagine the Tiger II was shot from behind.
    3
  2116. Apologies! The list is quite long.
    3
  2117. It was filmed from some distance away and zoomed in - you only hear the guns a second or two later.
    3
  2118. I will be doing an Italian tank battle.
    3
  2119. That's a tricky question. The German government has a habit of claiming things after private individuals or companies have spent the money and time recovering them. The French government might also have a say in this one. There is also the question of live shells onboard that will require French Army participation. A literal red-tape minefield!
    3
  2120. Then you know what to do!
    3
  2121. Blimey!
    3
  2122. 7 miles
    3
  2123. The SS behaved perfectly correctly - evidently, they admired the Red Devils fighting abilities.
    3
  2124. Sister-in-law.
    3
  2125. Already looked into that.
    3
  2126. I have made many Pacific War videos for both of my channels - please check the lists.
    3
  2127. Welcome aboard!
    3
  2128. Thanks for watching
    3
  2129. I think 43 including Austria.
    3
  2130. Thanks for supporting me from the early days.
    3
  2131. Thanks for watching
    3
  2132. A pleasure
    3
  2133. Many thanks for watching
    3
  2134. Thanks for staying with me!
    3
  2135. If we did that, we'd have very empty museums and little understanding of history.
    3
  2136. The General Walker was originally the Platterhof Hotel, a guest house for visitors to Hitler's house. The small building you saw was the Berghof garage, which survived the demolition of the main house in 1952.
    3
  2137. I'm not making a video about the entire history of aerial ramming. People can read books around the subjects I cover.
    3
  2138. Thanks for watching
    3
  2139. Another video?

  2141. YouTube pulled it over a year ago, so I've edited and re-uploaded again. Too good a subject to be abandoned.
    3
  2142. YouTube pulled it over a year ago, so I've edited and re-uploaded again. Too good a subject to be abandoned.
    3
  2143. This film was made from official RAF sources and the pilot's own report. I can only go by what they say, not being a Harrier pilot myself, nor someone who has ejected from a jet fighter. I presume you are both?
    3
  2144. That's what the pilot reported in his memoir after the aircraft was examined by crash investigators. Do a lot of flying with the RAF yourself, do you?
    3
  2145. My one off moment!
    3
  2146. He was considered a traitor before his real nationality was revealed at his trial.
    3
  2147. No - you are thinking of my video on the Hesse Crown Jewels pinched by Americans.
    3
  2148. Yes, my book 'The Coolie Generals' is all about the atrocious treatment handed out to captured British and US generals by the Japanese.
    3
  2149. Private property is not classified as 'war loot' - as you will see later in this series.
    3
  2150. 'America is always right' is what I believe you are attempting to tell me - in a none too subtle way. You may notice in the video I said the British also used Nazis after the war, but the difference is we haven't honoured them and named buildings and streets after them. This is an issue the Americans should deal with, regardless of the history of the rest of the entire world. Perhaps including information about these men's WWII careers would be a start.
    3
  2151. I used to teach a 10-week university course on the American Civil War - fascinating stuff!
    3
  2152. He did, and even Hitler's bunker
    3
  2153. I know. In fact the site was largely untouched until 1995 when the US Army returned it to the Bavarian government.
    3
  2154. Many thanks for watching!
    3
  2155. Actually, it would be two men and a dog team, and yes, Polar Bears are a real threat in that region.
    3
  2156. Actually, some small slivers would have embedded themselves in his gums and inner cheek, and something would have remained. Of course, if there never was a capsule and no flushing of the mouth with water, the dental examination chart probably makes more sense...
    3
  2157. I appreciate that!
    3
  2158. Yes, it does, but not in this video which is limited to the former Axis Powers.
    3
  2159. Cremated by the German Government
    3
  2160. If the map was pre-1948, there wouldn't be, my historically challenged viewer.
    3
  2161. Israel didn't exist prior to 1948 - so it wouldn't be on that particular map!
    3
  2162. No, I didn't use the Palestine flag - they doing some research before commenting.
    3
  2163. Because it didn't exist until 1948. The later maps in the video show it clearly.
    3
  2164. Iraq Petroleum was a British-controlled entity, headquartered in London.
    3
  2165. I am a super villain!
    3
  2166. Well, in my video you see Monty saluting German generals several times and vice versa!
    3
  2167. Forward planning.
    3
  2168. I have
    3
  2169. I played all the Close Combat series back in the 1990s - my favourite was defending the Reichstag.
    3
  2170. I have to say what you have written to me is also fairly alarming, so we'll call it a draw.
    3
  2171. Thanks for watching.
    3
  2172. Not from Allied countries. From Sweden, Switzerland and Spain, yes.
    3
  2173. Look closer and listen to the video!
    3
  2174. Already have.
    3
  2175. No, it wasn't.
    3
  2176. Okay - you have two days! My mistake.
    3
  2177. Hitler was 5'8"
    3
  2178. Lighter weight, shorter, grenade launcher attachment and smaller calibre rounds meant they could carry more ammo
    3
  2179. I cultural reference sadly lost on my American viewers - every time I hear the SAS motto I hear Del Boy's voice!
    3
  2180. There's nothing jingoistic in my videos - only pure historical facts. My suggestion - don't watch them if you can't appreciate that big difference.
    3
  2181. No, contrary to fairy tales, urban legends or Galtieri propaganda. One hundred percent, hand on heart, 'no'. Not for want of trying, I might add, but no, nein, nyet.
    3
  2182. German marine artillery units wore a uniform very similar to the army's, but with different coloured buttons and pieces of insignia, and shoulder tab details.
    3
  2183. That's the Chilean Army
    3
  2184. The restrictions were to do with smoking - only permitted in a special room aboard and all lighters had to be surrendered before boarding.
    3
  2185. Happy birthday!
    3
  2186. They were all commissioned officers in the Imperial Japanese Army, making them soldiers by any definition!
    3
  2187. I was once imprisoned in a guarded hotel outside Moscow for one night after missing my connecting flight to London via Moscow. The buggers took my passport away and didn't feed me! Fortunately, I survived to talk about it!
    3
  2188. I'm thinking of doing a video about what happened to all the special planes, cars and trains.
    3
  2189. Big topic, but the general consensus among historians appears to be that the army would have taken charge (as indeed Op. Valkyrie planned) and run the war properly. A truce would have been sought with Britain and America, the SS disbanded, the Nazi Party destroyed and the concentration camps closed. The war would have continued in the east, and Germany would have withdrawn from France and other territories, though retained control over all territory that equated to pre-1918, pre-Versailles Treaty, Germany.
    3
  2190. I have never made 'pro-Soviet statements', merely stated historically proven facts. You mistake what the job of the historian actually is. Also, I recently made a video about the Katyn Massacre which was perpetrated by, wait for it, the Soviet Union. And that video contained only balanced analysis of actual facts.
    3
  2191. Perhaps you might watch the video first, as I show how the Ghost of Kyiv is a propaganda construct.
    3
  2192. Which is exactly what I say in the video you haven't watched!
    3
  2193. Perhaps you might watch the video first, as I show how the Ghost of Kyiv is a propaganda construct.
    3
  2194. Which is what I allude to in the video you haven't watched!
    3
  2195. Watch video before commenting.
    3
  2196. Many thanks
    3
  2197. Then I suggest you do some reading to educate yourself out of your ignorance regarding France in WW2. A lot of the nonsense I hear from people is based on recent problems the US had with France over Middle East events, rather than looking at WWII history. Start by looking up the US 6th Army Group.
    3
  2198. Much appreciated!
    3
  2199. dastardly villain, cad, bounder.
    3
  2200. A refreshing comment from a valued subscriber. Thank you kindly.
    3
  2201. Hobart's Funnies after Major-General Percy Hobart
    3
  2202. I hope not! The content should be.
    3
  2203. Be careful what you wish for
    3
  2204. This is not proven - its a fashionable hypothesis because it involves Ian Fleming. Many top historians think its bollocks.
    3
  2205. U-boats operating in the English Channel at this stage of the war was very risky. As I explained, S-Boats were more effective.
    3
  2206. I can't show images of dead bodies or YouTube demonetises. They are powerful images that should be shown.
    3
  2207. Precisely
    3
  2208. I stated Germany invaded Poland on 1 September, and the Poles invaded Germany the next day - did you not listen to the video?
    3
  2209. Thank you - I had no idea I had fans in such exotic locales!
    3
  2210. Many thanks for your kind words - it means a lot! Thanks for sticking with my channel.
    3
  2211. Thanks!
    3
  2212. Someone should make a video about it.
    3
  2213. I didn't say it was - I was making the point that Walts always pick the super glamorous military units.
    3
  2214. Someone's been at the Cool Aid again!
    3
  2215. I wonder what the boys who did fly bombing raids over the Ruhr and lived to tell the tale thought about it.
    3
  2216. So, when is it appropriate to questions facts surrounding historical figures? Churchill died nine years before I was born! I guess the answer in your case is 'never', unless I make gushing, flattering propaganda pieces that further reinforce the 'official' narrative? No thanks. I've made lots of Churchill videos, many complimentary, but all based on hard historical evidence. If I find something less than complimentary, I will place it before the public for discussion. Historians shouldn't soft-soap their subjects.
    3
  2217. The Commander in Chief was the King - Churchill was Prime Minister, an elected civilian position. Britain is not America.
    3
  2218. History is history. It needs to be examined, however uncomfortable the experience might be, or how entrenched the opinions of the audience.
    3
  2219. You think I'm the first historian to question aspects of Winston Churchill's history?
    3
  2220. 1965
    3
  2221. ?
    3
  2222. Quite so.
    3
  2223. He was recognised with many other awards, not least the Order of Merit, one of the most exclusive that can be bestowed on British people.
    3
  2224. And the Wound Badge in Black. Each award represented one facet of his self-conceived image as German leader. Bravery (Iron Cross 1st Class), sacrifice to the nation (Wound Badge), and political leadership (Golden Party Badge).
    3
  2225. It's been done many times by other channels
    3
  2226. 424
    3
  2227. Patchogue
    3
  2228. You have other evidence? Do please share.
    3
  2229. Have a safe flight!
    3
  2230. Yes
    3
  2231. TBF, the US pronunciation sounds utterly ridiculous to British people!
    3
  2232. Theodor Busse
    3
  2233. YouTube rules prevent me from being more graphic or showing the grim reality of war. I pull no punches in my many books.
    3
  2234. Already done these topics.
    3
  2235. A famous theory. One of several concerning the RFSS.
    3
  2236. I've held documents in my hands signed by Winston Churchill himself stamped 'top secret'. Quite a thrill.
    3
  2237. I recently obtained some newly declassified US reports on this topic, but I haven't yet had time to go through them. There may be a video waiting to be made!
    3
  2238. Wild Geese II
    3
  2239. Yes you are!
    3
  2240. Because swastikas are banned from YouTube video covers. I restored it in the actual video.
    3
  2241. I expect I will, or something similar but unknown.
    3
  2242. You will be getting an extremely interesting WAAC video in the future that will surprise and hopefully educate.
    3
  2243. As I mentioned, 500,000 women served in the German Armed Forces, and SS female guards were considered another form of non-combat auxiliary position, though they were armed.
    3
  2244. 110
    3
  2245. I believe that MP44s were issued to the People's Barracked Police during the first couple of years
    3
  2246. The 550 men refers to the detachment defending the Reichstag and Ministry of the Interior. The rest refers to the wider Citadel Sector, of which the Reichstag is one sub-sector, all under the command of Mohnke.
    3
  2247. Working on it
    3
  2248. It's in the archives in Moscow.
    3
  2249. Well, that's about as up-to-date as I can manage for a video!
    3
  2250. Thanks
    3
  2251. Mine too - I was able to correspond with him briefly a few years before he passed away.
    3
  2252. Happy birthday!
    3
  2253. It's on my 'to-do' list.
    3
  2254. It was too expensive to produce in the numbers required so they simplified it and decreased the quality of materials used in its manufacture.
    3
  2255. I've covered this subject in a video some years ago.
    3
  2256. Thank you - and good luck with your channel.
    3
  2257. It is a fairly repellent slander that has unfortunately, largely because of one line in the fairytale film 'Saving Private Ryan' become accepted as fact by many Americans. 50,000 British, Canadian and Polish casualties at Caen tell the true story. It's almost as bad a slander as the term 'D-Day Dodgers' for British troops fighting in Italy.
    3
  2258. Unfortunately, these days, it seems like a lot of people get their historical knowledge from Hollywood and/or computer games rather than books. I try to do what I can to set the historical record straight.
    3
  2259. I had a great research trip to Calgary years ago - lovely city and people!
    3
  2260. I have written extensively about Indian troops in my books on Japanese war criminals. I also did a video on the 19th Hyderabads in Malaya. You might also check out my video on the Battle of Hong Kong on my other channel, a defence that included two Indian battalions.
    3
  2261. Ridgway was absent in the States when the battle began, hence MacAuliffe taking temporary command in Bastogne.
    3
  2262. Slip of the tongue!
    3
  2263. 'Emperor' I think, if used in the Russian sense of the word.
    3
  2264. Yes, I'm looking into it.
    3
  2265. Able Seacat Simon? - yes, I think I will.
    3
  2266. Yes, a few. I feel a video coming on!
    3
  2267. So Polo could be described as "Horseball"?
    3
  2268. We in Britain pronounce it the way I said, and not like the Americans.
    3
  2269. YouTube rules re: thumbnails
    3
  2270. YouTube rules I'm afraid.
    3
  2271. Can't show swastikas in thumbnails - Youtube rules.
    3
  2272. He was 165cm tall.
    3
  2273. Thank you
    3
  2274. Yup
    3
  2275. True
    3
  2276. Sadly, no - long since scrapped
    3
  2277. Glad you enjoyed it
    3
  2278. Transports - they saw some action in the Berlin Airlift and all over the empire
    3
  2279. Will do!
    3
  2280. Already done some time ago!
    3
  2281. None as far as I found in the literature - they were well back from the frontlines.
    3
  2282. No, I display the flag of the Swiss National Front. Look it up! Different from the Danish national flag.
    3
  2283. Yes, an elderly Swiss lady once told me the same thing.
    3
  2284. But they actually witnessed Nazi war crimes in person.
    3
  2285. You should read up on the treatment of Soviet prisoners by the Germans.
    3
  2286. It's 'grate iron' - blocks used to weight down bodies for burial at sea.
    3
  2287. No, they decomposed, then the skeletons decalcified - the only thing to survive is their footwear because of the tannins in the leather. Pairs are found all over the wreck site, indicating where a body once rested.
    3
  2288. Soon
    3
  2289. Princess Elizabeth was in Kenya, not the King. Look it up - he died of cancer at Sandringham.
    3
  2290. You are very kind
    3
  2291. Glad to welcome you aboard
    3
  2292. Well, there are plenty of other channels you can visit if you are dissatisfied with my programmes. I'm sure they will appreciate your critique.
    3
  2293. I'm pleased to hear
    3
  2294. They were not only married to SS officers, but both of these women were actually members of the Nazi Party.
    3
  2295. Yes, they were used - the footage is from the Hurtgen Forest battle
    3
  2296. I wasn't allowed to film in the gun room - maybe the new king will permit me?
    3
  2297. I'd love to, but you are not allowed to film inside Sandringham.
    3
  2298. Thank you for watching
    3
  2299. We were up to all sorts in Colchester when I was a kid - big army garrison to explore!
    3
  2300. It's not my music - it is part of iMovie.
    3
  2301. I've already made a video about this.
    3
  2302. Already made a video about it.
    3
  2303. Hope you enjoyed it!
    3
  2304. Actually, the soldiers wearing British-style Brodie helmets are rear-echelon US troops. The Canadian wore M1s for the Kiska operation, and I mention them several times!
    3
  2305. Peleliu - look it up.
    3
  2306. Happy Birthday in advance!
    3
  2307. I shall call you an historically challenged moron!
    3
  2308. Germany occupied northern France and the entire coastline. Vichy France was in the southwest.
    3
  2309. Wow, thank you!
    3
  2310. I may do
    3
  2311. That was Artur Axmann, not Hitler. He was missing his right arm.
    3
  2312. The puppy was shot, along with Eva Braun's dogs, by Hitler's army dog handler shortly before Hitler's suicide.
    3
  2313. No, it hasn't.
    3
  2314. Many thanks!
    3
  2315. US psychiatrists produced an analysis of Hitler earlier in the war where they predicted he would die by his own hand.
    3
  2316. No, they have the chunk of a young women's skull in their archive. This was proven by DNA testing years ago.
    3
  2317. I have made several videos about Allied war crimes - look them up.
    3
  2318. Hitler's bunker safe was ordered emptied by Hitler, with much of the material flown out of Berlin as part of Operation Seraglio some 10 days before his death. His personal records were on the last transport, which crashed. What happened to the records after that is a mystery - see my video on this subject.
    3
  2319. Axmann stuck to his story of burying it beneath the Sandkrug Bridge.
    3
  2320. The SS had plenty of brown-nosers like any other organisation.
    3
  2321. Which parts precisely?
    3
  2322. Enjoy!
    3
  2323. Yes
    3
  2324. Creators have no control over those ads. But I hope you still enjoyed the programme.
    3
  2325. I couldn't find any, or any film. But there is also no footage inside Hitler's bunkers either - I would presume security would be the reason.
    3
  2326. I agree, but some Italian units were superb, such as their Alpine troops and commando frogmen. My maternal grandfather fought in Sicily and Italy and his opinion was that some units were useless and some fought well. Also, you can find many examples of Italian units that did fight bravely in North Africa, such as the Ariete Division. I disagree with the blanket statement used by many that all Italian troops were useless and/or didn't fight. That is my point. I stand by my explanation at the beginning of this video. Comparing them to the Germans is interesting - the Germans were better motivated, better led and considerably better equipped.
    3
  2327. No, the helmets were based on the French design and used by Italian forces in WW1 before the modern M33 was issued. Second line Italian troops were issued the old helmets in WWII.
    3
  2328. Is that why I make so many videos extolling US bravery in battle? Try looking at my video list before writing such twaddle. Oh, I've also written several history books about valiant US operations that you might like to check out published in the US and UK.
    3
  2329. Many thanks for watching.
    3
  2330. Rangers were considered elite.
    3
  2331. A great many thanks
    3
  2332. Many thanks - it would be great if you would consider supporting me on Patreon for only $1 a month: https://www.patreon.com/markfeltonproductions
    3
  2333. Combat reports confirm it was a King Tiger. You can easily find the originals online via US archives
    3
  2334. You are incorrect - reports exist on this action written by combat officers on the spot
    3
  2335. You will soon - from the Japanese side
    3
  2336. Will do!
    3
  2337. Not yet. All of my other books are available in hardback or paperback.
    3
  2338. I was
    3
  2339. Heinkel III
    3
  2340. Or are you particularly thick...?
    3
  2341. It was to many of the British who didn't want German troops coming here.
    3
  2342. Did they return your salute?
    3
  2343. Watch the video first
    3
  2344. Great film!
    3
  2345. Of course - I misspoke the year
    3
  2346. Damn - I misspoke. I wrote an undergraduate paper on it, so I don't know why I said 1943!
    3
  2347. Only a small minority.
    3
  2348. One of my favourite Bond films.
    3
  2349. I suggest you read lots of books by reputable historians and then tell me I'm wrong. The facts in this case are well known.
    3
  2350. How delightfully pedantic
    3
  2351. Yes, Koch by name and by nature it appears!
    3
  2352. Will do
    3
  2353. Many thanks!
    2
  2354. My pleasure!!
    2
  2355. A late Happy birthday!
    2
  2356. Yes, some Allied POWs were killed by the atomic blasts or murdered by enraged Japanese shortly afterwards.
    2
  2357. No, the declaration pertaining to Japanese surrender was signed by Great Britain, the United States and the Republic of China. The USSR was not at war with Japan at that time.
    2
  2358. When Hirohito was driven to Buckingham Palace with the Queen in the 1970s during a state visit to London, British veterans of the Far Eastern campaign in Burma and Malaya, and former prisoners of the Japanese, deliberately turned their backs on him. Lord Mountbatten, British Supreme Commander Southeast Asia in 1945, refused to attend the state banquet given in his honour. Talk to any US veterans of the Pacific campaign and I'm sure they felt a similar way.
    2
  2359. I've been to Nagasaki and I found it fascinating that nothing of what I mentioned in my video was covered by the Atomic Bomb Museum.
    2
  2360. Many thanks - it's great to know that my work is appreciated!
    2
  2361. People really don't understand, as you say, how many Allied and Japanese personnel and civilians would have died if Downfall had gone ahead. They focus only on the undeniable human tragedy of the atomic bombings, but do not place it in the proper historical context.
    2
  2362. Nonsense - which documents?
    2
  2363. It's also the 75th anniversary of the Nagasaki bombing.
    2
  2364. Actually, there were four groups, but I didn't want to confuse everyone as I'd need a 30 minute video to explain the entire battle.
    2
  2365. The Battle of the Little Bighorn was a 'battle' by any measure. My piece about Wounded Knee was simply filling out Iron Hail's later life story.
    2
  2366. Comanche - the mount of Captain Myles Keogh who was killed. The horse was also wounded, nursed back to health and never ridden again. Died in 1891 a treasured 7th Cavalry mascot.
    2
  2367. First Nations are from Canada, over the border 'Indians' is still used, including by indigenous peoples themselves and the US Government's Bureau of Indian Affairs.
    2
  2368. No, I went to Philip Morant.
    2
  2369. Entente Powers - the name for the WW1 Allied nations.
    2
  2370. Yes - several buildings have plaques on them commemorating raids. On the Embankment in London, bomb damage is still visible around Cleopatra's Needle and also outside the Victoria and Albert Museum.
    2
  2371. Holding a special armoured protective plate for snipers, not much used due to the added weight.
    2
  2372. 'Hudelson' refers to Task Force Hudelson, a US combat unit.
    2
  2373. There was a follow-up operation called Zahnartz (Dentist) that never took place.
    2
  2374. Yes.
    2
  2375. Same to you
    2
  2376. Happy new year!
    2
  2377. Excuse me moron, the Azov Battalion is/was about 900 strong, the other defenders of Mariupol are Ukrainian Marines and reserve units. Suggest you do some research before flinging insults at me.
    2
  2378. You are right - a cad and a bounder!
    2
  2379. So pleased you liked it
    2
  2380. I'm afraid there is nothing I can do about my accent - but you are more than welcome to make a film about this yourself if you find mine unsatisfactory.
    2
  2381. I'd never noticed it before, but now that you mention it.
    2
  2382. I think it more a case of proving the viability of using helicopters for this type of operation, and its success led to constant chopper use to extract wounded and sick. It was a game-changer.
    2
  2383. I've done a video about the twin-rotor German helicopter that crossed the English Channel.
    2
  2384. Hope you soon recover from your injury.
    2
  2385. Actually, its where Captain Hans Langsdorf scuttled the Admiral Graf Spee in 1939!
    2
  2386. Happy new year!
    2
  2387. It doesn't refer to the cable, but the endurance of the engine without refuelling - they might try to hit targets several times before expending the weapon.
    2
  2388. Members of my personal escort.
    2
  2389. Happy new year!
    2
  2390. The newsreel was incorrect.
    2
  2391. Concept - never built.
    2
  2392. Yes, quite a lot of new things actually!
    2
  2393. Yes
    2
  2394. I've been a bit slow lately as I'm wrestling with a bad throat - but I managed to record today's video in between coughing fits! Thanks for watching
    2
  2395. That must have been pretty awful
    2
  2396. Thanks
    2
  2397. Thanks
    2
  2398. Glad to hear it
    2
  2399. High praise indeed - The World at War is the best series on WWII ever made in my opinion - the opening music always gives me the chills
    2
  2400. Thanks very much - I hope they continue to watch
    2
  2401. Thanks for watching and supporting
    2
  2402. A pleasure
    2
  2403. Thanks. I can't say I miss that period with small children!
    2
  2404. A Canadian documentary finds that the Canadians dispatched Wittmann, who'd have thought it? I'm afraid that the death of Wittmann is still not completely settled, and the British claim still stands until proven otherwise.
    2
  2405. Many thanks
    2
  2406. A pleasure
    2
  2407. That's wonderful news - I really enjoy Forgotten Weapons. Great channel.
    2
  2408. Many thanks!
    2
  2409. Considering Hitler died on 30 April 1945, and Frisius surrendered on 9 May, 'no' is the answer. He was a Hitler loyalist and a very stubborn man.
    2
  2410. One of my grandfathers fought at Kohima!
    2
  2411. Too well known - I like to do things even my fellow historians ignore or don't know about!
    2
  2412. I am planning a video
    2
  2413. Tanks would be used during a full-scale assault, and it was not ordered. The armoured units were needed elsewhere. Also, the terrain around Dunkirk is notoriously difficult for tanks, encompassing marshes, canals and rivers.
    2
  2414. Absolutely, and the British, Australians, New Zealanders, Indians, South Africans, Polish, Free French, Czechoslovaks, Norwegians, etc...the list is very long indeed!
    2
  2415. Yes, a few Seehunden managed to get through with 'butter torpedoes'. 7 Seehunden were captured intact in the harbour when the Germans surrendered.
    2
  2416. Many thanks!
    2
  2417. That's Brigadier Colin "Tiny" Barber, who was 6'9".
    2
  2418. Great film - one of Roger Moore's best.
    2
  2419. Great film.
    2
  2420. England
    2
  2421. I've made a film about
    2
  2422. Thanks 👍
    2
  2423. Glad you enjoyed it
    2
  2424. Thanks! 😃
    2
  2425. I'm not sure - less than the Americans I should think.
    2
  2426. Happy to help!
    2
  2427. Thanks for listening
    2
  2428. Submarines don't sit still on the surface of the ocean - frankly, I'm amazing he hit any part of the refinery at night at that range. Nishino would have been better employed landing some of his men in dinghies armed with explosives.
    2
  2429. Sunk
    2
  2430. Glad it was helpful!
    2
  2431. Welcome aboard!
    2
  2432. I've been pondering doing one for some time.
    2
  2433. My pleasure!
    2
  2434. Thank you, I will
    2
  2435. British
    2
  2436. I appreciate your kind words and glad you enjoyed Castle of the Eagles.
    2
  2437. Thanks
    2
  2438. I was reading a script prepared for me!
    2
  2439. Year's ago.
    2
  2440. Apparently not.
    2
  2441. Amazon and many bookshops around the world.
    2
  2442. Thanks! Will do!
    2
  2443. As are all wars
    2
  2444. That's unfair - my videos on the Falklands only deal in facts, not opinion or jingoism. May I point out that I was praising the bravery of Argentine pilots in this video concerning their attacks on British shipping in San Carlos Water. I suggest you watch the video again and find where I have been biased to either side. You won't find anything except cold, hard facts.
    2
  2445. And its suspected that the Soviet Union was supplying Argentina with details of the composition and movements of the British Task Force. Tupolev Bear Bombers flying from Angola shadowed the Task Force.
    2
  2446. Britain didn't want to attack the Argentine mainland as it could have spread the war to other nations. The threat of such action was implied through the Black Buck missions against Stanley Airport.
    2
  2447. Thanks for watching!
    2
  2448. History PhD
    2
  2449. Glad you like them!
    2
  2450. I'm discussing perfectly valid theories, which is a part of being an historian. New evidence continues to emerge to change the officially accepted story.
    2
  2451. Thanks
    2
  2452. So pleased
    2
  2453. No, I don't. Look again!
    2
  2454. I beg your pardon!
    2
  2455. Damn!
    2
  2456. Happy Birthday
    2
  2457. Research
    2
  2458. I've already done videos on the British and French using Panthers
    2
  2459. It's in the sea
    2
  2460. Pleasure
    2
  2461. Thanks for watching
    2
  2462. You may be right on that - my several sources all gave different opinions. The 21st Army Tank Brigade, though British, was indeed operating under Canadian command
    2
  2463. My pleasure
    2
  2464. Go to https://nordvpn.com/markfelton or use a coupon markfelton to get a 2-year plan plus a bonus gift with a huge discount! (73% discount + 4 months for free)
    2
  2465. You might want to unblock your ears - I said 'Nurnberg' not 'Numbrrg'. As that is the actual name of the city, I thought I'd use it.
    2
  2466. Great suggestion!
    2
  2467. I have covered Jersey
    2
  2468. Correct - don't get your history from Hollywood.
    2
  2469. Well smack my arse!
    2
  2470. Summer 1940, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 is six summers by my reckoning clever clogs!
    2
  2471. Already done it!
    2
  2472. Why are you subscribed if you dislike me so much you have to say silly things like that?
    2
  2473. Back in the day, that was the word used for female aviators.
    2
  2474. No, I'm obsessed with telling interesting historical stories.
    2
  2475. "I'm sorry, we haven't the facilities to take you all prisoner."
    2
  2476. No, I have no control over those ads - no YouTuber does, and they are nothing to do with me.
    2
  2477. I love Jack Higgins novels - what's your favourite?
    2
  2478. Perfectly natural reaction
    2
  2479. Yes, I have
    2
  2480. Thanks for your kind comments
    2
  2481. Will do
    2
  2482. Gold!
    2
  2483. My video is not 'propaganda' my friend. Suggest you retract that insult.
    2
  2484. What precisely have I said that makes you doubt my impartiality - I recorded a series of facts and opinions based on informed articles written by experts in this field.
    2
  2485. I never said any of this - my sources did (see description box).
    2
  2486. No, they weren't. Look it up!
    2
  2487. It crashed a few years ago killing all aboard.
    2
  2488. Typo
    2
  2489. You obviously missed my video on the Dachau Reprisals.
    2
  2490. Yes, I've just returned.
    2
  2491. The issue is the German definition of 'partisan', and also the reprisal killings that the Germans made all over the territory they conquered. As for the Germans not having sufficient food, this is incorrect.
    2
  2492. Funnily enough, Field Marshal von Kluge killed himself in 1944 to avoid arrest in the aftermath of the July Bomb Plot. Von Reichenau died of a heart attack on the Eastern Front.
    2
  2493. The problem was the German definition of 'partisan' was extremely elastic.
    2
  2494. It was - the famous Fuhrerbau in Munich. Staircase unchanged today.
    2
  2495. It was the ammunition feeds that jammed
    2
  2496. Glad you enjoyed it
    2
  2497. I've already done this for 'War Stories with Mark Felton'
    2
  2498. Thanks again!
    2
  2499. Sensible analysis.
    2
  2500. Great to hear!
    2
  2501. So nice of you
    2
  2502. Spray and pray...
    2
  2503. Glad to hear it!
    2
  2504. De Loys Ape was a fraud.
    2
  2505. Thanks a ton!
    2
  2506. Many thanks!
    2
  2507. My pleasure!
    2
  2508. I should hope my documentaries are a tad better researched than the infamous History Channel.
    2
  2509. How many photos did GIs take of Vietcong in the jungle? And I'm not talking about dead bodies or prisoners?
    2
  2510. Thanks - but then I would have to answer to 'The Man'. I prefer independence.
    2
  2511. Funnily enough I was reading about this last month and thinking about a video in the future!
    2
  2512. Glad you think so!
    2
  2513. Thanks!
    2
  2514. My pleasure!
    2
  2515. The Central Highlands is a big area.
    2
  2516. I keep an open mind - there is some interesting evidence.
    2
  2517. I thought I gave at least 5 different scenarios surrounding this topic which more than cover all possible angles - and I made a special point about Area 51. I suggest you watch again and listen this time.
    2
  2518. I don't have enough evidence to go either way...it would only be my 'opinion' which is merely supposition and not evidence.
    2
  2519. Consult my video list
    2
  2520. Presumably to deal with the massive Allied bombing streams.
    2
  2521. I've been and recommend it. Really very good.
    2
  2522. They are still in the village.
    2
  2523. I wasn't making a video about every WWII atrocity, but simply telling the story of the Wereth 11. As for calling them 'African-American', what is linguistically incorrect about that? I detect a rather unpleasant subtext to your comment.
    2
  2524. I'm afraid not - try reading history books before making such ill-informed comments.
    2
  2525. I think you'll find that "Terror Bombing" was developed by the Luftwaffe - think Guernica, Warsaw, Rotterdam, London, Coventry etc.
    2
  2526. I've already made a multi-part audio series on War Stories with Mark Felton.
    2
  2527. No, it wasn't.
    2
  2528. A parachute collapsible bike for airborne troops.
    2
  2529. Yawn
    2
  2530. Wings and fuselage
    2
  2531. It's on my 'to do' list
    2
  2532. The Dachau story circulated for years as a cover - poetic justice etc.
    2
  2533. The 12th coffin was added so that any observers and the mortuary staff would not guess that the Nuremberg war criminals had been brought to the Ostfriedhof for cremation.
    2
  2534. Research...its all out there just waiting for someone to do something with it.
    2
  2535. Much appreciated!
    2
  2536. It takes a while to cremate a human body - over an hour I believe with the technology of a 1930s crematorium. It's entirely feasible.
    2
  2537. His field marshal and reichsmarshal batons are on display in US museums.
    2
  2538. Correct
    2
  2539. Happy Birthday!
    2
  2540. Naturally
    2
  2541. I expect they had tea in thermos flasks, and also hip flasks for a quick shifty to keep out the chill.
    2
  2542. It wasn't easy - I've spent weeks tracking down the copyright holder.
    2
  2543. I keep a page on my website up to date with film news. Everything is progressing splendidly since you ask.
    2
  2544. Yes, I was surprised. One wrong gust and it's curtains!
    2
  2545. He was a superb character - someone wrote a book about him recently.
    2
  2546. We evidently need more chaps with monocles!
    2
  2547. Yes, I have.
    2
  2548. Yet we managed to settle thousands of former SS troops in the UK. Doesn't seem right to me.
    2
  2549. I think you'll find I have.
    2
  2550. I know the correct pronunciation, but when I tried it in one of my videos I received about a billion corrections from American viewers that I nearly lost the will to live.
    2
  2551. Thanks, will do
    2
  2552. Thanks
    2
  2553. Thanks
    2
  2554. I do my best!
    2
  2555. Because the clip you refer to is of SS guards at the New Reich Chancellery, not the Neue Wache.
    2
  2556. Will do
    2
  2557. Many thanks for your kind support!
    2
  2558. I presume they are still interred under the floor
    2
  2559. I have no idea - I was guessing!
    2
  2560. Slip of the tongue, old boy!
    2
  2561. Precisely!
    2
  2562. Too kind
    2
  2563. Already scrapped!
    2
  2564. Already covered in a previous video
    2
  2565. The HMS Vengeance issue was a fair scandal - it has been appalling how the British government has missed so many opportunities to save a WWII carrier for the nation.
    2
  2566. No - but I think they look better than black and white photos.
    2
  2567. You appear to be in a minority, old chum
    2
  2568. Singleton became a very rich man, running an industrial business in Cleveland.
    2
  2569. Glad to welcome you aboard!
    2
  2570. Its been done many times - however, I must correct you. There was a second occasion when American and German troops fought together against the SS, and its the subject of my new book Ghost Riders. I've also done a video about it. Thanks for watching
    2
  2571. Thanks for watching
    2
  2572. Thanks from Norfolk
    2
  2573. Excuse me - the spelling 'Amerika' is that used by the Germans at the time - the programme was the 'Amerika Bomber'.
    2
  2574. Thanks - the effort is worth it I think
    2
  2575. I was thinking the same thing!
    2
  2576. it's German - a 'j' is pronounced like a 'y'
    2
  2577. Thanks - I often wonder who those people are as well!
    2
  2578. I left it out as it wasn’t used. Distract from the narrative. Interesting plane though
    2
  2579. He and the navigator switched to their personal oxygen supplies using face masks
    2
  2580. Yes. He also became friends with Prince Galitzine
    2
  2581. Topography I should imagine - ships offshore were facing high cliffs and bluffs
    2
  2582. Don't worry, I know all about Commandant Kiefer and the French Commandos and the Poles and Czechs who took part - I was speaking regarding nationalities about the assigned beaches. No offence intended.
    2
  2583. Obviously, judging by the amount of equipment they had.
    2
  2584. Thanks!
    2
  2585. No, I'm from Essex
    2
  2586. I'll look into it. I've visited the Scheldt region - I remember one village had a Canadian Bren Gun Carrier on display,
    2
  2587. Already have
    2
  2588. Try reading history books.
    2
  2589. Try watching the video before writing comments.
    2
  2590. Time travel
    2
  2591. Correct - Operation Myth
    2
  2592. 1 Lansdowne Road, Cambridge
    2
  2593. Better watch my video on Bormann's fate.
    2
  2594. He's still alive, but not talking.
    2
  2595. It's just an interesting story - no need to get your lederhosen in a twist!
    2
  2596. I think you are right. Perhaps the old Lightning could still hold its own today?
    2
  2597. I live in Norwich
    2
  2598. I agree. It should really be donated to the RAF Museum or Duxford.
    2
  2599. It was quite a sight.
    2
  2600. Thanks for your extremely kind comments - much appreciated
    2
  2601. It's well documented how it survived - don't be silly!
    2
  2602. Correct - certainly the British Glider Pilot Regiment also fought as ground troops.
    2
  2603. When I made a recent video using the pronunciation "Wayco" I was constantly pulled up by people saying it was "Wacko" - somehow I feel I can't win on this one!
    2
  2604. Gliders were used again during the crossing of the Rhine in March 1945.
    2
  2605. Yes, each had one pilot for the ferry trip.
    2
  2606. I did.
    2
  2607. 301.3km to Stay, St. Kilda, Scotland 423.2km to Tory Island, County Donegal, Ireland The maths is self explanatory.
    2
  2608. Then send in the Irish Navy!
    2
  2609. I love to see feedback so beautifully expressed
    2
  2610. Better mobilise the Irish Navy!
    2
  2611. Rockall is closest to Scotland than Ireland - look it up on the intraweb
    2
  2612. 301.3km to Story, St. Kilda, Scotland 423.2km to Tory Island, County Donegal, Ireland
    2
  2613. It wasn't a house - it was a diplomatic reception centre.
    2
  2614. Happy Birthday!
    2
  2615. I guess the parentage was important - his father was a famous messenger pigeon named 'Kaiser', as I recall reading.
    2
  2616. I think you are mixing the Berghof up with the Eagle's Nest.
    2
  2617. I seem to remember that Goering's house was shown as half demolished in BoB. The Eagles Nest was intact in real life.
    2
  2618. I think they thought such a style of attack to be beyond the capabilities of the Germans.
    2
  2619. No, I don't.
    2
  2620. They are not blurred in the actual video.
    2
  2621. I will! In the meantime, have you seen my video about the Czech Army resistance to the German takeover in 1939?
    2
  2622. My 'team' consists of me and me alone!
    2
  2623. I doubt an inanimate object is particularly bothered, to be honest.
    2
  2624. Bore off moron.
    2
  2625. RASCV Tardenois
    2
  2626. It is - in fact, there are many smaller islands - I was only naming the four main ones.
    2
  2627. Not my area of expertise
    2
  2628. Yes, there are some cheeky nonconformists loose on the intraweb!
    2
  2629. He wasn't a Nazi - watch the video!
    2
  2630. Pleasure
    2
  2631. Thanks for watching
    2
  2632. Thanks but the Schloss Itter incident has been done several times.
    2
  2633. There was an investigation of various US generals who were discovered to be furnishing their homes with 'liberated' art, antiques and furniture.
    2
  2634. Some are available on Amazon and some bookshop websites - some can be found second-hand as they are out of print.
    2
  2635. I was based in the Far East for ten years.
    2
  2636. They should be available from Amazon and local book chains. Castle of the Eagles has several New Zealand leading characters!
    2
  2637. She was.
    2
  2638. I miss the International Settlement - its almost perfectly intact behind the Bund.
    2
  2639. Landing Zones is the correct expression.
    2
  2640. What a great story - I will look into this more. If I make a video, I shall credit you for the idea.
    2
  2641. Both!
    2
  2642. Bookshops, Amazon etc.
    2
  2643. Probably because jelly quivers when touched, and is used as an expression for cowardice or fear?
    2
  2644. No, its basically a smaller vessel mounting a huge battleship turret used only for shore bombardment work.
    2
  2645. Quite so.
    2
  2646. I'll say it again - 'hello'
    2
  2647. I hope so too!
    2
  2648. Happy birthday!
    2
  2649. HMS Enterprise - a cruiser if I remember.
    2
  2650. I think so.
    2
  2651. It is.
    2
  2652. Lanchester Sub-Machine Gun
    2
  2653. They did, and the Japanese also had 3 flying (see my video)
    2
  2654. The 50 aircrew were murdered by the Gestapo in a state-sponsored murder plot - each shot in the back of the head in violation of the Geneva Convention etc. It was murder under any legal definition and I suggest you read up on the Rules of War and this case before making stupid comments.

  2655. Do say 'hello' if you see me. I always enjoy meeting watchers.
    2
  2656. It was absolutely freezing!
    2
  2657. No, ran out of light after spending too long in the Airborne Museum at the Hotel Hartenstein.
    2
  2658. Lots more things - some to end up as videos in the future!
    2
  2659. I missed the gun - but I was freezing my nuts off trying to get film of the bridge from a spit of landing sticking out into the Waal. Very cold indeed!
    2
  2660. You'd best look at that map again.
    2
  2661. Semantics - if it blows up, it's a bomb.
    2
  2662. I can only go by what the Croatian military determined following their investigation.
    2
  2663. That's what I read translated from Croatian media.
    2
  2664. Ukraine has said nothing about the incident - Croatia has attributed ownership to Ukraine following their examination of the wreckage. If you know more, do please get in touch.
    2
  2665. Watch again and all will be explained.
    2
  2666. It uses drones, like all modern armies. It's a combination of drones, satellites, SIGINT etc.
    2
  2667. If you are referring to the Tu-141 drone, the force of the impact in Zagreb apparently obliterated its modern makings, revealing an old Soviet red star on the tail.
    2
  2668. High praise indeed
    2
  2669. Thank you
    2
  2670. You can't read but can type I see.
    2
  2671. You are very welcome
    2
  2672. Good luck with your surgery and a speedy recovery.
    2
  2673. I'm counting down with my wife at home!!!!!
    2
  2674. I had several!
    2
  2675. I did make an error here - but in my video on the topic I was correct.
    2
  2676. I know - made a mistake. My video linked in end screen is however completely correct.
    2
  2677. There are lots remaining in the UK today, from old US bomber bases.
    2
  2678. To help clean up the mess their country had made.
    2
  2679. You'll get over it.
    2
  2680. Yes, like social housing in the US.
    2
  2681. Try watching the video before criticising me! I said the term 'Africa Korps' was a joke made up by the New York Times. I then explained that 5-10,000 NVA soldiers served in Africa as 'advisors'. Now contradict these facts.
    2
  2682. His full name was Antonio Agostinho Neto, as my caption noted!
    2
  2683. Already have
    2
  2684. No, they didn't.
    2
  2685. I'm an historian - recounting to you a real event that happened to involve my country. I see no nationalism in my words or video.
    2
  2686. You, sir, clearly didn't watch the video or you need to read more.
    2
  2687. Don't be ridiculous - I was merely stating what happened. I'm not making any aspersions on the United States.
    2
  2688. You are wrong - Japan didn't want to surrender even after 2 atomic bombs. Read up on the subject!
    2
  2689. Considering I never mentioned Saipan, I can't help you.
    2
  2690. To be fair, Hiroshima was garrisoned by 20,000 Japanese troops and the castle was a major army headquarters for the region. The factories were also pumping out military equipment. Japan was warned to surrender and chose not to - the onus lies with the Japanese government.
    2
  2691. I've written 22 books!
    2
  2692. The Japanese were far from surrendering when Hiroshima occurred - as you will find out in my next video.
    2
  2693. Excellent idea!
    2
  2694. You are correct. It was a major contributory factor to Japan's sudden surrender, as well as the atomic bombings and fear of unrest among the civilian population, who were starving.
    2
  2695. I'm not making a biography about Mr. Cheshire. Subject specific.
    2
  2696. The videos will only end when they prise my cold dead hands off my keyboard (to paraphrase Charlton Heston!)
    2
  2697. Lots of kills
    2
  2698. Thank you
    2
  2699. Thanks
    2
  2700. Will do as I've also written many books on the war in Asia
    2
  2701. The issue was the fact they were using flak shells against tanks.
    2
  2702. Thanks for the info
    2
  2703. You will.
    2
  2704. Thanks, will do!
    2
  2705. And it will feature in a future video.
    2
  2706. Enjoy!
    2
  2707. Far from it - he weighed up the situation and knew he could never hit the submarine, but the submarine would have a lovely aiming point the moment one of those rifles barked.
    2
  2708. Wow, thanks!
    2
  2709. You are very welcome
    2
  2710. Thank you! Will do!
    2
  2711. Incredibly kind of you - many thanks.
    2
  2712. Not that I know of.
    2
  2713. Hello there!
    2
  2714. It's a very complex answer - and perhaps worthy of a future video?
    2
  2715. You are very kind!
    2
  2716. Coming soon!
    2
  2717. Thanks for watching!
    2
  2718. Glad you enjoyed it!
    2
  2719. Thanks for watching
    2
  2720. Thanks very much
    2
  2721. Splendid idea - then I can create my own tv channel!
    2
  2722. Thank you for watching
    2
  2723. The term was used by the 7th Armoured Division and then later used collectively but unofficially by the entire 8th Army.
    2
  2724. Many thanks
    2
  2725. It was repaired later on
    2
  2726. You need to read more about this topic before throwing lazy slanders at me.
    2
  2727. Britain and the United States were/are liberal democracies - the USSR was a dictatorship ruled by Stalin. These are facts that only the historically illiterate would deny.
    2
  2728. I'm still discovering fascinating things every day - that's why I love history
    2
  2729. Good one
    2
  2730. The engine didn't cut out completely, it lost power
    2
  2731. Thanks very much
    2
  2732. Hope you recover soon!
    2
  2733. You are not correct - check online.
    2
  2734. Auspices
    2
  2735. Separate video in the future - perhaps
    2
  2736. Thank you so much 😀
    2
  2737. As opposed to the 3 million Indians who fought on the Allied side. If you think the Japanese would have 'freed' India, try looking at what they did in Burma, Malaya, the Philippines etc and see how 'free' the locals were under their enlightened rule. Or better still, read some books.
    2
  2738. Yes, it was.
    2
  2739. I visited a different stretch of the DMZ on the Imjin River - fascinating.
    2
  2740. Visit my website www.markfelton.co.uk and clip on contact me
    2
  2741. Blast, foiled again! I'll get this German lingo right one day!
    2
  2742. No. The Paris Gun could fire shells to a maximum altitude of 42.3km (26.3 miles), well below the V-2, and not above the NASA definition of space.
    2
  2743. The Paris Gun could reach an altitude of just over 43km, below both the Karman Line and the NASA definition of space, so the first man made object to enter space was a V2 in 1942.
    2
  2744. Already have - search my videos
    2
  2745. A rumour has been doing the rounds for years that MI6 had a hand in Mussolini's death.
    2
  2746. Thanks for watching!
    2
  2747. I was born and raised in Colchester - the old POW camp is now the Military Corrective Training Centre (a fancy name for the army's only prison). I should image several Germans stayed on after the war.
    2
  2748. I expect so - just need to find some juicy and largely unknown stories.
    2
  2749. Yes, some were armed.
    2
  2750. US and Britain were always short of infantry - the problem was our huge and complex divisional 'slice' of support troops. An infantry division was around 15,000 men, but with all the logistics, support and ancillary staff it topped 50,000 in reality. Other armies, such as Germany and Japan, had more men actually fighting than supporting the fighting man.
    2
  2751. Seems to be the case.
    2
  2752. Thanks
    2
  2753. My use of the word 'weak' was the historically agreed description of the US lines in the Ardennes at the start of the campaign - weakly and thinly held. I was not casting aspersions upon the United States, as you seem to be accusing me of doing! I'm quite surprised that you seem to think that I am, and that you don't get the often used description of the lines as 'weakly held', as in not many troops per mile of front.
    2
  2754. Prince of Wales uses this device with the German logo - the British royals are German after all. I believe it dates from the accession of the Hanoverians to the British throne.
    2
  2755. A. I have only used that photo twice before out of hundreds of videos, and B, it is a bit of light-hearted humour.
    2
  2756. Same to you!
    2
  2757. I used the latter pronunciation in a previous video and everyone told me I was wrong, so I changed. I can't win!
    2
  2758. It's historical reality - it was the national symbol of Germany and the German armed forces between 1933 and 1945. Even German museums show swastikas in their proper historical context.
    2
  2759. Wow, thank you
    2
  2760. I'm also in Tier 4 from Boxing Day! Have a great one.
    2
  2761. Same to you!
    2
  2762. I think German flak guns would have chewed them up the same as the C-47s and gliders.
    2
  2763. Same to you!
    2
  2764. And when I pronounced it the way you suggest in a previous video everyone said it was wrong and should be 'Whacko' - I realise now I can't win!
    2
  2765. Thanks, old bean
    2
  2766. I love you for saying so!
    2
  2767. That's an Avro Lincoln - and its haunted!
    2
  2768. I didn't know that - thanks for sharing.
    2
  2769. At least you made it, which I appreciate.
    2
  2770. Yup, same family.
    2
  2771. I was being iconic. It's a British disease.
    2
  2772. Many thanks for clearing this up (no pun intended!)
    2
  2773. Yes, different marques. I prefer the tail wheel myself.
    2
  2774. True - and the family resemblance runs clear for four generations!
    2
  2775. I'll check it out!
    2
  2776. That's why I'm not making any more Swedish videos, due to the rude (not you!) comments from many Swedes - really very aggressively rude, which was quite strange.
    2
  2777. Not that I know of.
    2
  2778. I have a few suspects!
    2
  2779. Never!
    2
  2780. Armed
    2
  2781. I was a university lecturer for years!
    2
  2782. And you, sir, need to read proper history books.
    2
  2783. Because its the correct pronunciation - Nürnberg.
    2
  2784. I've already covered it in my video about the Goebbels' Government.
    2
  2785. Sounds like I work for the Devil!
    2
  2786. Congratulations on the birth of your child!
    2
  2787. Not quite. He had himself adopted by a noble aunt gaining the right to the nobiliary particle ‘von’
    2
  2788. Surely that's the other way round?
    2
  2789. That won't happen!
    2
  2790. I was referring to the wives and mistresses, not the children.
    2
  2791. Braun in German is pronounced exactly like 'Brown' in English. Americans mispronounce it, sounding like 'Brawn'.
    2
  2792. See my video on it.
    2
  2793. I know that - but I haven't got all day to explain the name change!
    2
  2794. Check the description box for details.
    2
  2795. I couldn't confirm that she was Jewish, so I left it out of the video.
    2
  2796. This is, as far as I can tell, pretty much the entire interview.
    2
  2797. I have an African story on my future programme list concerning Senegalese soldiers in France.
    2
  2798. I've made plenty of non-WWII videos. Check my list.
    2
  2799. Correct
    2
  2800. Thanks 👍
    2
  2801. Too dark for my tastes
    2
  2802. I said 'court marshalled'
    2
  2803. I do, see pinned comment.
    2
  2804. $5.6 billion actually.
    2
  2805. Actually, Hitler used to present his generals with very hefty cheques as 'bonuses'. And they took them.
    2
  2806. No, I haven't made a model since I was about 14
    2
  2807. I can be pedantic too - they are Special Naval Landing Troops, not marines. The IJN didn't have marines in the sense of the Royal Marines or USMC.
    2
  2808. The peace offers came AFTER Britain and France declared war.
    2
  2809. Yes
    2
  2810. You must have been watching a different channel, as I did no such thing!
    2
  2811. I did get trapped in Moscow once!
    2
  2812. My shoes once melted in the Sahara!
    2
  2813. at that time, yes.
    2
  2814. They worked alarmingly well against us in Malaya in 1941-42 when Mr. Churchill declined to issue our troops with AT guns or tanks of their own!
    2
  2815. Calcutta, India
    2
  2816. Get well soon.
    2
  2817. Damn- mis-spoke!
    2
  2818. You should!
    2
  2819. Quite so.
    2
  2820. Thanks for the visit
    2
  2821. Many thanks - I appreciate that.
    2
  2822. Thank you kindly
    2
  2823. Apologies - mind freeze!
    2
  2824. Glad you like them!
    2
  2825. So nice of you
    2
  2826. Great film - silly premise. I actually prefer The Longest Day for its balanced portrayal of all the nations that part in D-Day.
    2
  2827. My pleasure!
    2
  2828. I believe the British captured the top German concrete scientists and forced them to design and construct a series of university campuses in the 1960s.
    2
  2829. I've done quite a few.
    2
  2830. It was the Allied star, not American, and was agreed between all the Allied nations as a common insignia that everyone would recognize as 'friendly'.
    2
  2831. No - they were destroyed by the Germans before surrender.
    2
  2832. I've done one or two some time ago. My maternal grandfather got through all of WW2 only to be badly wounded by a Chinese mortar bomb in Korea!
    2
  2833. Common mistake made by Americans - it's called the 'Allied Star' and was an internationally agreed symbol painted on all Allied vehicles in Europe, including the Free French!
    2
  2834. You bet!
    2
  2835. Wow, thank you!
    2
  2836. Much appreciated
    2
  2837. Shortly after D-Day I believe, though they continued to report enemy troops and aircraft movements using their communications equipment.
    2
  2838. I believe they were static infantry of varying quality.
    2
  2839. Actually,there were at least 2 engineers vehicles that used the Centurion chassis. Look it up - they were photographed many times.
    2
  2840. They used old Panzer IVs and German assault guns - I've made a video about it.
    2
  2841. I think it was difficult to handle inside the turret next to the main gun.
    2
  2842. Tiresome.
    2
  2843. The Syrians had some old Panzer IVs and German assault guns. They were mostly knocked out. I've already made a video.
    2
  2844. Read the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Motorman
    2
  2845. Yes
    2
  2846. Yes, they did - there is photographic evidence for this.
    2
  2847. I never made such a video.
    2
  2848. I'm more of a fan of the original films that I grew up with, and Rogue One.
    2
  2849. 3 served as Royal Marines amphibious vehicles. No gun turrets.
    2
  2850. Sorry, I forgot to add that it was later moved to the position I mentioned.
    2
  2851. Grow a sense of humour!
    2
  2852. I haven't made it yet!
    2
  2853. Good points!
    2
  2854. They didn't use a hand grenade, only proposed doing so. They used a roll of papers.
    2
  2855. More History Channel nonsense.
    2
  2856. You are talking nonsense - I have all the interrogation reports translated into English. There were many inconsistencies. I have also examined the interviews by US Navy Captain and Judge Musmanno of bunker occupants who made it to the West. Again, inconsistencies abound. The stories are not the same!
    2
  2857. The puppies at the start were a litter birthed by Blondi. Some people today will have Alsations descended from Hitler's dog - there's an interesting thought!
    2
  2858. Yes
    2
  2859. That was my thought too.
    2
  2860. Nonsense. I've written books about Nazi criminals that hid in South America. Not one shred of evidence ever surfaced concerning a living Hitler, long before The History Channel was thought of. Martin Bormann, however, there was evidence...
    2
  2861. I've already done that one.
    2
  2862. Quite so.
    2
  2863. Mark Felton Productions Air Wing - motto: "Onwards and Upwards"
    2
  2864. WE.177 free fall nuclear bombs.
    2
  2865. Good idea! Back when we used to build our own aircraft.
    2
  2866. I'm currently in seven tv documentaries that appear here and there.
    2
  2867. I did mention that 200,000 US and Canadian Air Force personnel took part in the second exercise.
    2
  2868. Let's hope so.
    2
  2869. When Germany invaded Poland with the help of the Soviets!
    2
  2870. I'm afraid you are quite wrong concerning Mossadegh - we know the names and activities of the MI6 and CIA officers behind the coup, one being former US President Teddy Roosevelt's grandson.
    2
  2871. I was being ironic
    2
  2872. I was being ironic!
    2
  2873. You are very welcome
    2
  2874. Terrible - possible future video
    2
  2875. I imagine replacements would come direct from the US Government rather than depots, and would indeed come from the batch of 9,000 made in 1999.
    2
  2876. Thanks again!
    2
  2877. Many thanks!
    2
  2878. Thanks. Perhaps.
    2
  2879. Many thanks - possible future video!
    2
  2880. Wow, thank you!
    2
  2881. I am in about 7 mainstream tv documentaries so you may have!
    2
  2882. Happy Birthday!
    2
  2883. She was covering from some distance, not directly involved with the beaches or gunfire support etc.
    2
  2884. After.
    2
  2885. It will arrive in 2023
    2
  2886. I'm guessing I pronounced them incorrectly!
    2
  2887. Thanks - I was trying my best with those. Scheveningen was difficult to knew whether the 'SCH' is pronounced with a 'sh' sound or harder. Perhaps someone can clear up another related point - when I visit the Netherlands I try to Schipol - is it pronounced with a hard or soft 'sch'?
    2
  2888. University of Essex 2005
    2
  2889. Thanks! Will do!
    2
  2890. It was - used for illustrative purposes as the 20 April ceremony was not filmed.
    2
  2891. Good work chaps!
    2
  2892. I appreciate it!
    2
  2893. It is in German nomenclature.
    2
  2894. Chocolate cakes
    2
  2895. I do - visit Buckingham Palace!
    2
  2896. No, that's Ricky Gervais.
    2
  2897. I loved 'Allo 'Allo - met most of the cast!
    2
  2898. Read comments and sod off.
    2
  2899. "I thought it was a hole in one", remarked Adolf.
    2
  2900. Don't worry, I got banned from Facebook for posting my own videos! Hate speech apparently!
    2
  2901. It wasn't legitimate booty, it was the looting of private property. There were military laws against this sort of thing. As you will find out in the next episode!
    2
  2902. There wasn't any more, just that small clip. But a great find for you!
    2
  2903. Enough
    2
  2904. A pleasure.
    2
  2905. Thank you
    2
  2906. Yes
    2
  2907. I'm actually working on it!
    2
  2908. The Dutch government.
    2
  2909. German version of a royal colonel.
    2
  2910. Actually, I only visited for two days to film at this house and another museum. Working trip!
    2
  2911. Wonderful!
    2
  2912. I wrote about him on my book Castle of the Eagles!
    2
  2913. Glad you enjoy it!
    2
  2914. Glad you like them!
    2
  2915. Added - most film was shot silent due to the problems of recording outside with the bulky equipment of the day.
    2
  2916. My Wikipedia entry lists my books.
    2
  2917. I will investigate
    2
  2918. Much appreciated!
    2
  2919. Already have
    2
  2920. Haha - but I do love Dad's Army!
    2
  2921. Actually, I was MI6. Never could stand those clowns at 5.
    2
  2922. I always like to receive suggestions, as I know people are fully engaged with my work.
    2
  2923. Regulation 8 hours!
    2
  2924. An SS Werewolf in London?
    2
  2925. The Americans wanted the Japanese as Allies in the Cold War in Asia - they basically got a national 'get out of jail free card' for their heinous WW2 crimes.
    2
  2926. So, you didn't see my videos about the Azov Battalion, both Ukrainian SS divisions, or the Ukrainian SS who came to live in Britain? Not to mention my video about the Russian SS during WW2 as well.
    2
  2927. My aunt lives in Tiptree!
    2
  2928. Probably did, as the last Ice Age was 9,000 years ago and human have been in North America probably for 30,000.

  2929. Would you
    2
  2930. I'm not a colonial historian.
    2
  2931. You, sir, would do well to firstly look at all the videos I have made about American bravery and service in WWII, and, secondly, read some of my books, particularly my latest 'Operation Swallow' which tells the story of a plucky American soldier who saved hundreds of Jewish-American soldiers and others from the Nazis. I could go on. I shall look forward to your apology.
    2
  2932. I'm not surprised as there were plenty of WWII veterans of all sides alive in the 1980s.
    2
  2933. What's wrong with the way I say it?
    2
  2934. No, and I looked!
    2
  2935. You utterly misunderstand my commentary. I have written a dozen books on Japanese war crimes. My video contains no criticism of the atomic bombings, only the caveat that they were not the only reason why Japan surrendered.
    2
  2936. Air burst - radiation rapidly dissipates.
    2
  2937. 'Hitler's Personal Security' by Peter Hoffmann.
    2
  2938. It's just a rhyming sub-title! I use the term 'Netherlands' throughout the entire video.
    2
  2939. Shooting down Red Cross, American (prior to Dec. 41), Swiss, Swedish, Irish, Spanish, Portuguese and Turkish aircraft would create a fair diplomatic s-storm, that's why!
    2
  2940. Firstly, the photo is of a BOAC DC-3 during the war, used by me to show what the camouflage looked like. I'm not saying that this one is Ibis. Secondly, looking hard at the flag, I think you'll find its the old South African national flag - which makes sense as BOAC flew DC-3s down to SA during the war.
    2
  2941. It's been done by others
    2
  2942. Early days
    2
  2943. POW camp - I couldn't find much information on these men or any photographs.
    2
  2944. Much appreciated!
    2
  2945. Thank you! 😊
    2
  2946. And Scotland
    2
  2947. I couldn't find any information - someone needs to look up their service records in the German archives. Perhaps they were pathfinders during the 1940 Blitz?
    2
  2948. Many thanks for your kind comments and support!
    2
  2949. I would say 100% staged if it shows the front lines. The rear areas stuff is probably authentic.
    2
  2950. I have made several videos about African-American servicemen in WWII - do check my programme list.
    2
  2951. The CGI book is by another author called Mark Felton! But thanks anyway.
    2
  2952. I'd love to!
    2
  2953. Will do
    2
  2954. Yes, they deserve to have their story told. Thanks for watching.
    2
  2955. I'll take it under advisement
    2
  2956. Many thanks - your generosity is much appreciated! There will be some Norway content in the future.
    2
  2957. A pleasure
    2
  2958. Many thanks - it would be great if you would consider supporting me on Patreon for only $1 a month: https://www.patreon.com/markfeltonproductions

  2960. Many thanks - it would be great if you would consider supporting me on Patreon for only $1 a month: https://www.patreon.com/markfeltonproductions
    2
  2961. I can't disagree with that!
    2
  2962. Many thanks - it would be great if you would consider supporting me on Patreon for only $1 a month: https://www.patreon.com/markfeltonproductions
    2
  2963. Kind of you to say.
    2
  2964. Interesting story I've heard about before - thanks for reminding me.
    2
  2965. You are very kind. Thank you!
    2
  2966. ???
    2
  2967. Its not a criticism of Poland or Polish pilots, merely a fact. The Luftwaffe completely outclassed the Polish Air Force in quantity and quality of aircraft. The Polish Air Force fought hard and bravely but had no chance. Polish pilots went on to make a stunning contribution to the RAFs victory in the Battle of Britain, shooting down 12% of all German planes over England! Incredible achievement performed in Spitfires and Hurricanes.
    2
  2968. That's been done by another channel already.
    2
  2969. Bit harsh - I'm just trying to educate my non-Polish audience about this tragedy. Most people in world are not aware, I can assure you.
    2
  2970. It was buried beneath the Sandkrug Bridge...allegedly!
    2
  2971. No, I didn't
    2
  2972. I think he was!
    2
  2973. Scam
    2
  2974. More have arrived from Eastern Europe over the past 30 years, and many more escaped from fur farms etc over the decades.
    2
  2975. MI6
    2
  2976. There was nothing pro-Russian in my content, your moron. I've made videos about both sides in the conflict.
    2
  2977. We don't have any - because we are an island.
    2
  2978. I have made a series about rat lines on my other channel explaining more how they functioned.
    2
  2979. Polish, of course. Apologies
    2
  2980. Yes, I wrote a book about the hunt for Nazi war criminals called The Last Nazis, and the West German diplomatic service in the 1960s and '70s was still staffed by Nazis. Hence so many war criminals were never reported to the authorities even though some, like Franz Stangl, registered with German consulates under their own names.
    2
  2981. Glad you enjoyed it
    2
  2982. The video isn't about the entire operation, only 3 PARA. You can read about it elsewhere.
    2
  2983. Enjoy!
    2
  2984. Yes, he did.
    2
  2985. Very welcome
    2
  2986. My pleasure!
    2
  2987. You bet
    2
  2988. Thank you very much!
    2
  2989. Glad you enjoyed it
    2
  2990. Very welcome
    2
  2991. Glad you like them!
    2
  2992. One per pillbox, as I understood the report to read.
    2
  2993. No movies about this at all.
    2
  2994. Not as yet, but you never know. I have made some longer episodes that you can search out.
    2
  2995. No.
    2
  2996. Bit of a mouthful either way.
    2
  2997. Well, the damned thing threatened the Arctic convoy route.
    2
  2998. Apart from the amount of damage they were causing and the casualties, there was a genuine fear that Hitler might arm some with bio-weapons.
    2
  2999. Yes, I will get there eventually - just need to find a story that fires me up!
    2
  3000. I think one baled too low and the other may have been killed by the enormous explosion when the B-17 impacted below.
    2
  3001. Fritz X is planned for a later episode.
    2
  3002. It did.
    2
  3003. I've written and taught about the American West.
    2
  3004. I believe they did.
    2
  3005. I'll look into it - thanks!
    2
  3006. The gold coins would retain value.
    2
  3007. Glad to help
    2
  3008. Never recovered - the lake bed is a tangle of tree branches washed into it from the surrounding hills and very dangerous for divers. They did manage to recover some boxes of forged British banknotes in the 1960s.
    2
  3009. It was, huge amounts had been sent offshore into banks etc. A lot of government departments also had billions stashed.
    2
  3010. Norwich Cathedral
    2
  3011. Yes.
    2
  3012. I would have thought so.
    2
  3013. You don't think Spacil and his men were not dressed for combat when they robbed the bank and made their getaway across a city that was a battlefield? As for clickbait, you obviously haven't watched the video.
    2
  3014. Reichmarks continued in use for some months after the war until new currencies could be developed for the occupation zones.
    2
  3015. I will be doing a few more of these videos over time. It's such a fascinating topic and I know the area well.
    2
  3016. I wonder if we have a bust of Roosevelt inside 10 Downing Street?
    2
  3017. Great - that's the third time this channel has managed it! Very pleased.
    2
  3018. Me too - I will atone by immediately leaving YouTube and entering a monastery for a long period of navel reflection.
    2
  3019. Just a slip of the tongue, old boy!
    2
  3020. Of course - slip of the tongue
    2
  3021. He did - and often held meetings from his bed.
    2
  3022. Pass on my best wishes to your students. Understand history and you can see the future.
    2
  3023. Norwich Cathedral cloister
    2
  3024. George W. Bush's grandfather, Senator Prescott Bush, was, I believe, involved with BIS during WWII.
    2
  3025. His properties were seized by the occupation authorities. There was a lot of legal wrangling with his widow over whether she should receive some of the value. It appears that the local German states were then given the houses by the occupation authorities and were later sold to private owners. Two of Himmler's former homes in Bavaria are currently hotels.
    2
  3026. Thanks for your support
    2
  3027. Bush was a political appointee to head the CIA, never an agent.
    2
  3028. Not me! Check out the link in the description to the real 'owner' of this particular cat.
    2
  3029. You are right - the overwhelming firepower of US and British artillery caused several late war German reverses.
    2
  3030. 1/6th scale
    2
  3031. Check out the link to the man who owns it.
    2
  3032. The paint scheme.
    2
  3033. Indeed it is!
    2
  3034. 1/6th
    2
  3035. They had bombed it several times, but it was a big place and the Germans still managed to keep some production moving.
    2
  3036. Nope - I provide a link in the description to its 'owner'. Do check out the footage.
    2
  3037. Yes, had a great visit there a couple of years ago.
    2
  3038. It's an excellent historical model of a period Tiger II - and its the only way I can show you battle scenes as nothing exists of the Tiger II in combat, only in transit or parades.
    2
  3039. Tiger II footage is very limited, but I used my imagination to ensure this story could be told.
    2
  3040. My favourite is the Panther.
    2
  3041. Cool, thanks!
    2
  3042. Scrapped mostly - a few in running order for taken for study, hence the ones in museums.
    2
  3043. More to come!
    2
  3044. Happy birthday!
    2
  3045. ??
    2
  3046. They tried, but it was a miserable failure.
    2
  3047. The full story appears in my book 'Castle of the Eagles' - I interviewed General Gambier-Parry's family. He was later a POW in a castle near Florence with General Sir Richard O'Connor - thrilling escape!
    2
  3048. Already have
    2
  3049. Good idea
    2
  3050. That bot stole my voice, god damn it!
    2
  3051. I probably will, depends on footage availability
    2
  3052. Many thanks
    2
  3053. Major Bernard Himmler!
    2
  3054. If you were clever, you would drip feed them onto the market rather than flood the place all at once. And I think demand among collectors would still keep the price high even if all released at once.
    2
  3055. If you were clever, you would drip feed them onto the market rather than flood the place all at once.

    2
  3057. If you were clever, you would drip feed them onto the market rather than flood the place all at once.
    2
  3058. I don't dismiss anything - I simply state that until fresh EVIDENCE is presented, the current 'accident' verdict must stand. Until evidence is forthcoming, it would be supposition not fact. Historians deal in facts, and I'm happy to accept that Patton was murdered IF evidence can be presented to prove this.
    2
  3059. If happened quite often during the war. You can find many, many examples. Surely, if we wanted to shoot down Patton we would have put German markings on the plane or used a captured German plane? Bit obvious otherwise to any survivors, radio messages from Patton's plane heard on the ground or by witnesses to the action. Why not smuggle a bomb aboard or interfere with the engines etc, etc. Drat, now I've sown the seeds for another Patton conspiracy theory - "Brits tried to blow up Patton's plane" said British historian.
    2
  3060. Everything I say in the video is a fact and can be easily corroborated by examining history books and documents. You need to look up the meaning of the word 'fantasy' and educate yourself.
    2
  3061. I have explained the circumstances surrounding his death and how the 'murder plot' conspiracy came about. I think I have demonstrated that the conspiracy theory has some serious flaws in it. You can make up your own mind.
    2
  3062. Nothing I say in the video isn't either a fact, backed up being a wealth of history books, diaries etc, or an informed opinion based on the available evidence. Historians examine and interpret history based on available evidence.
    2
  3063. Major-General Gay!
    2
  3064. I reject your accusation that my title is clickbait - it poses a perfectly reasonable question that any history book would use. After all, there are only two possible answers - accident or murder.
    2
  3065. I must point out that Churchill made a similar remark, but lived to 90.
    2
  3066. I noted your website as one of my sources in the description box from the get go.
    2
  3067. You have misunderstood what I said - the plane was lost over England, but the crew thought they were back over Germany somewhere and landed - hence shouting in German at the RAF ground crew.
    2
  3068. I'm so pleased you enjoyed it.
    2
  3069. It was already scheduled to be made - but it was good that you were thinking along those lines!
    2
  3070. Thanks for the kind comments!
    2
  3071. I've already made a video about how the Canadian paratroopers captured Wismar to block the Red Army's advance on Denmark.
    2
  3072. I did a video some years ago about the first helicopter to fly the English Channel - it was a German twin-rotor Drachse.
    2
  3073. Thanks so much!
    2
  3074. I'm hoping for promotion to Grand Moff once the channel hits 10 million!
    2
  3075. Last ones left Paraguayan service in 2019.
    2
  3076. Retired by Paraguay a couple of years ago.
    2
  3077. Elected by cardinals.
    2
  3078. Enjoy!
    2
  3079. I don't control the adverts
    2
  3080. Luxembourg is quite big compared with the 5 micro nations I picked.
    2
  3081. I noticed that - dicing with diplomatic danger there!
    2
  3082. Thanks. Fascinating story by the way.
    2
  3083. I've done a video on that
    2
  3084. Thank you
    2
  3085. High praise
    2
  3086. Thanks for your support
    2
  3087. Great idea - though unlikely to happen.
    2
  3088. No problem.
    2
  3089. Thank you
    2
  3090. Thanks for supporting my channel
    2
  3091. Thank you
    2
  3092. Thank you for watching
    2
  3093. One of my favourite books!
    2
  3094. So kind of you to say
    2
  3095. Thanks and will do
    2
  3096. Thanks
    2
  3097. Many have Polish derived surnames
    2
  3098. Wonderful to hear
    2
  3099. Thanks for watching
    2
  3100. Oh, that's a surprise - I normally get praised for trying to pronounce German like a German. What accent would you like? I can do a good Welsh or French
    2
  3101. She divorced him later on. I wonder if it was connected to the kidnap incident.
    2
  3102. Wow, thank you!
    2
  3103. His son-in-law, Count Ciano, was Italian foreign minister.
    2
  3104. So kind of you to tell me.
    2
  3105. I'd like to, but all my previous ones (except a couple of air combat one) didn't achieve satisfactory viewing figures.
    2
  3106. Yes, I was.
    2
  3107. Its been done elsewhere many times, was a book and tv programme.
    2
  3108. Already made this subject.
    2
  3109. We don't know.
    2
  3110. I've had that a lot!
    2
  3111. He is generally acknowledged as a brilliant propagandist by historians across the board.
    2
  3112. Thank you! Will do!
    2
  3113. Glad you enjoyed it
    2
  3114. I did one some time back about a P-40 in the Libyan desert - worth a look.
    2
  3115. Thanks! Will do!
    2
  3116. Perhaps another episode?
    2
  3117. Get well soon!
    2
  3118. Thanks, will do!
    2
  3119. Welcome aboard!
    2
  3120. There will be some in the future.
    2
  3121. Good afternoon
    2
  3122. It's just a selection, not an exhaustive list
    2
  3123. Enjoy!
    2
  3124. Thank you kindly
    2
  3125. Cheeky nonconformists!
    2
  3126. They are a great bunch and I'm very grateful for such fantastic support!
    2
  3127. No, the Sand Pebbles is based on the story of a British gunboat from 1927.
    2
  3128. Many thanks
    2
  3129. But then I would have been accused of attempting an Australian accent by the Kiwis!
    2
  3130. Thank you for watching
    2
  3131. Jewish Company, Shanghai Volunteer Corps
    2
  3132. Thank you, I will
    2
  3133. Very soon.
    2
  3134. Happy birthday!
    2
  3135. They were partly equipped and trained by the Germans, as per an agreement between Hitler and Chiang Kai Shek.
    2
  3136. I think he messing around with a can of DT spray used against mosquitos.
    2
  3137. M24 Chaffee
    2
  3138. My video only concerns the Western Allies, which I state repeatedly!
    2
  3139. Brilliant! Very pleased to hear this
    2
  3140. There were many Panthers knocked out or abandoned. I think ammo would not have been too hard to find as they advanced.
    2
  3141. The link is in the end screen.
    2
  3142. I previously made a video about the SS Handschar mutiny, not the Ukrainians. So you are incorrect.
    2
  3143. No sir, you are wrong. The 'X' in the title of the planes you quote at me stands for 'Experimental' and therefore not operational. The Comet was the ONLY rocket-propelled aircraft to serve operationally.
    2
  3144. RAF Museum Cosford - top class indeed!
    2
  3145. I'll look into it - sounds intriguing. Thanks.
    2
  3146. Not very wise!
    2
  3147. Smoke deflectors
    2
  3148. Unfortunately, every fourth comment is someone telling me that the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is a different subject (which of course I am fully aware of, having written about it in one of my books). It soon becomes an exercise in tedium.
    2
  3149. Yes
    2
  3150. I believe I've done that one a long time ago.
    2
  3151. My pleasure sir
    2
  3152. Not this argument again - he was created Prince of Bismarck and Duke of Lauenburg. I suggest you look it up or better still contact his descendent who is called, wait for it, Prince (or Fürst it you prefer the correct German) von Bismarck.
    2
  3153. A pleasure
    2
  3154. The mistake is your's - he was created 'Prince of Bismarck' in 1871, and Duke of Lauenburg in 1890. Any cursory check of Bismarck bio's will explain this clearly. One of his descendents is the current Prince von Bismarck.
    2
  3155. The mistake is your's - he was created 'Prince of Bismarck' in 1871, and Duke of Lauenburg in 1890. Any cursory check of Bismarck bio's will explain this clearly. One of his descendents is the current Prince von Bismarck.
    2
  3156. Thanks
    2
  3157. Or urine
    2
  3158. Yes, not 'as advertised'.
    2
  3159. Because it is an important part of what actually happened.
    2
  3160. My pleasure!
    2
  3161. As an historian, I have high standards!
    2
  3162. I have already done the Warsaw Uprising. I've also written about the Jewish Ghetto uprising in my book 'Holocaust Heroes'.
    2
  3163. PTSD. I imagine a lot of blokes who were there suffered afterwards.
    2
  3164. I haven't been demonetised! It's a rumour.
    2
  3165. Glad you like them!
    2
  3166. My channel has not be demonetised - its a silly rumour.
    2
  3167. My channel is not demonetised.
    2
  3168. technical issue - will be back today
    2
  3169. Yes I am!
    2
  3170. I'd pay to watch that!
    2
  3171. He wasn't in any of the official Eon Productions films.
    2
  3172. Sir Johnny English
    2
  3173. Afghan embassy in Berlin
    2
  3174. It is - I must have mislabeled it.
    2
  3175. I wonder whether his knowledge of the Windsors' prewar antics might have played a part?
    2
  3176. I didn't call him a fascist - he was described as a 'natural fascist' in various biographies and by contemporaries.
    2
  3177. Consider it a pleasant diversion from normal programming
    2
  3178. Hi Andras - thanks for the suggestion, I'm currently making a video on this wonderful subject! Will release tomorrow.
    2
  3179. Casualties caused by accidents are counted in military operations - and the current NATO activities in Poland and Romania and many other nations constitute a clear military operation in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Therefore, my title is fully justified. As for your other comments, I presented all sides of the argument - it's called analysis.
    2
  3180. Casualties caused by accidents are counted in military operations - and the current NATO activities in Poland and Romania and many other nations constitute a clear military operation in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Therefore, my title is fully justified.
    2
  3181. We don't know
    2
  3182. I never said the Russians shot them down - I merely presented one allegation along with all the other explanations. Casualties caused by accidents are counted in military operations - and the current NATO activities in Poland and Romania and many other nations constitute a clear military operation in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Therefore, my title is fully justified.
    2
  3183. No, moron, I'm discussing an historical event. Back to school for you!
    2
  3184. Losses from accidents are also counted in active military operations, and the NATO build-up in Eastern Europe along the Ukraine border is an active military operation.
    2
  3185. Jog on!
    2
  3186. I'm going to.
    2
  3187. Non-battle casualties are counted in military operations - and the NATO build-up along the Ukraine-Russia border is a military operation. So my title is correct.
    2
  3188. Thanks - regarding pronunciation, I had to record that bit four times to get it right!
    2
  3189. I laid out all the current theories concerning this incident, from all sides. You must have watched a different video.
    2
  3190. Eva Braun's dogs were shot by Hitler's dog handler around the time of Hitler's death. The Soviets recovered the buried bodies.
    2
  3191. Thanks, will do!
    2
  3192. Thanks, will do!
    2
  3193. Many were and others were from SS units that managed to emigrate to America and Canada under false names or after working for the labor service. Ukrainian SS camp guards were another group that managed to get into the UK and Canada in very large numbers. Some are still alive today.
    2
  3194. Running at the same time
    2
  3195. More to come!
    2
  3196. Many thanks!
    2
  3197. Any time!
    2
  3198. I think it includes the time from his arrest, time on remand and the time the trial took, then his imprisonment.
    2
  3199. No - the dates shown count from the day he was arrested and his trial added to his prison time.
    2
  3200. Yes, video soon
    2
  3201. Sorry, but most of my audience are Americans, and if I use 'recce' I'll be answering queries about this term till the cows come home.
    2
  3202. Ground fire only
    2
  3203. The Canberra was the replacement for the Mosquito
    2
  3204. Thanks - its the time consuming part!
    2
  3205. Sounds like a sound chap
    2
  3206. Its a town in Ireland when some of the Guardsmen came from
    2
  3207. Certainly will
    2
  3208. Deutscher Wochenschau - I forget which month in 1944
    2
  3209. No, it's a mock-up of the British T-34 with 17-pounder gun.
    2
  3210. No choice - YouTube rules.
    2
  3211. He already had the Wound Badge in Gold due to his many wounds in North Africa.
    2
  3212. If I don't, my video will not be monetised by YouTube and will be limited.
    2
  3213. Thanks. I'm not voicing this audiobook as its about Americans and an authentic American actor has been hired. However, I have voiced others and I'm currently working writing one concerning a Mosquito raid that I will also be voicing.
    2
  3214. Glad to hear and thanks for watching
    2
  3215. I don't think I claimed this was the only time Germans landed in North America. I was not concerned in this video with the landing of Abwehr agents, but rather with a military operation by Kriegsmarine personnel that involved landing in Canada.
    2
  3216. Many thanks
    2
  3217. Thank you
    2
  3218. A pleasure
    2
  3219. Thanks for your kind comments
    2
  3220. I've made a video about it - the Granville Raid 1945
    2
  3221. Reduction in aircraft production for several months I should imagine.
    2
  3222. I mention the larger Allied bombs at the end of the video.
    2
  3223. Sources listed in description.
    2
  3224. You may do.
    2
  3225. Of course its a recreation - do you think a cameraman was going to sit in No-Man's Land while the action was going on!
    2
  3226. The camera angles show that this is a recreation - no cameraman is going to sit in no-man's land filming an attack!
    2
  3227. Thanks - many of my books have been used as sources for Wikipedia articles.
    2
  3228. You must have watched a different video - I never said Wilhelm was responsible for WW1, but he was partly responsible. I was discussing Allied propaganda.
    2
  3229. Not my field
    2
  3230. I think the British Government was getting desperate to end the war before revolution broke out in Britain as well.
    2
  3231. Are you referring to the subject or my video?
    2
  3232. Many thanks!
    2
  3233. It was during the British liberation of Norway.
    2
  3234. I use a strategically shaved monkey for the dangerous filming.
    2
  3235. To annoy the anally retentive?
    2
  3236. I'm Mr. Smith v.2
    2
  3237. How unfortunate!
    2
  3238. I may do. I visited the Resistance Museum in Amsterdam.
    2
  3239. Thanks for the idea!
    2
  3240. My escort is on annual leave.
    2
  3241. I pronounce it how the Japanese pronounce it - they slur the last two syllables together. For example, Yokosuka, a famous naval base is pronounced 'Yokoska'.
    2
  3242. Surprising.
    2
  3243. Gotha
    2
  3244. Already have
    2
  3245. I visited Thailand many years ago - wonderful country and people.
    2
  3246. I believe the story was based on real events.
    2
  3247. "Elementary, my dear Munro!"
    2
  3248. Perhaps, though he's been featured by several other channels already
    2
  3249. More Mosquito content is planned in the next few months
    2
  3250. This one was kindly suggested by a subscriber.
    2
  3251. Many thanks
    2
  3252. He later moved up to the 770 from 1942-43 onwards, though the 540s remained in service as well.
    2
  3253. No.
    2
  3254. If you go to the Lomakov Museum website, he has listed each car in English with some simple background history.
    2
  3255. Supposedly, Mr. Lomakov has Eva Braun's Mercedes 540 SKL hidden away somewhere not on display - if you manage to get any film of it, do drop me a line at hello@markfelton.co.uk.
    2
  3256. Very Hapsburg
    2
  3257. There's also one at the RAF Museum at Hendon that you can walk through.
    2
  3258. 1947
    2
  3259. Not quite - our navy was the biggest in the world.
    2
  3260. A pleasure
    2
  3261. Many thanks
    2
  3262. You are too kind
    2
  3263. This video was only concerned with the Western Front - I've researched and written all about the Australian, British, Canadian, Chinese and American nurses captured and maltreated by the Japanese.
    2
  3264. I'm currently making it - as I said 'forthcoming'.
    2
  3265. Yes, and I made a video all about it!
    2
  3266. Yes I have
    2
  3267. Read my pinned comment please.
    2
  3268. I did!
    2
  3269. Yes, I have.
    2
  3270. I saw both from a distance a couple of days ago - the main residence is indeed a gloomy and creepy looking place.
    2
  3271. They made a film about it - The Day of the Jackal
    2
  3272. That would be very Jack Nicholson in The Shining!
    2
  3273. That is the answer I expected, if I asked...so I didn't.
    2
  3274. Same to you!
    2
  3275. Same to you!
    2
  3276. Happy birthday!
    2
  3277. Thanks, you too!
    2
  3278. The Germans used gliders on many operations including Eben Emael, Gran Sasso and the raid on Tito.
    2
  3279. Thanks! You too!
    2
  3280. Glad you enjoyed it
    2
  3281. Thanks for that!
    2
  3282. I won't be doing any videos on those foul units, if you don't mind.
    2
  3283. Already made a Hurtgen Forest video.
    2
  3284. Thanks, will do!
    2
  3285. No, all the footage was of American Alligators.
    2
  3286. See too - sounds like a great show!
    2
  3287. No, I haven't even warmed up yet!
    2
  3288. I believe they have a city there called Oxford?
    2
  3289. Thanks.
    2
  3290. Thanks so much - great to know that you are enjoying my output
    2
  3291. I try my best!
    2
  3292. Good one old chap!
    2
  3293. Thanks for watching
    2
  3294. I do lurk there occasionally!
    2
  3295. They did modify the carriages
    2
  3296. It's currently in Egypt.
    2
  3297. Yes, the train went separately
    2
  3298. Yes
    2
  3299. Appreciated
    2
  3300. I think I should move to your town and open Mark Felton Productions Headquarters!
    2
  3301. Thanks, will do!
    2
  3302. Very welcome
    2
  3303. Glad you enjoyed it
    2
  3304. Glad you think so!
    2
  3305. It beggars belief!
    2
  3306. I appreciate that!
    2
  3307. I am well aware of all that. In fact, some units continued fighting for over a week after D-Day - a video perhaps?
    2
  3308. My pleasure!
    2
  3309. I didn't see any.
    2
  3310. Not that I saw, but there is a sword, and also his Scottish Highland dress.
    2
  3311. You will.
    2
  3312. I will be making such an episode
    2
  3313. I will - there are so many, plus daggers etc.
    2
  3314. The Dutch state owns it all.
    2
  3315. They are in the 'Royals' playlist.
    2
  3316. Great - thanks for joining
    2
  3317. I think its some sort of model
    2
  3318. Thanks - I'll sure I'll get there eventually
    2
  3319. Many thanks
    2
  3320. Glad you enjoyed it
    2
  3321. Thanks for supporting my channel
    2
  3322. Great to read!
    2
  3323. Thanks
    2
  3324. Thanks
    2
  3325. I cross-referenced the number from several sources. As I'm not the President, or the Secretary of Defence, I have to go by published sources. I don't think insulting me is very constructive, do you? What you Americans call a 'cheap shot' I believe.
    2
  3326. I'm British, so I speak English with a British accent. You are clearly American, and pronounce things in your own endearing way.
    2
  3327. They didn't ordinarily shoot them - they instead placed them in punishment battalions to redeem themselves through suicidal attacks, the outcome often being terminal.
    2
  3328. You might have noticed that I wasn't making a video about the US pullout from Afghanistan. However, with your detailed knowledge and experience, you probably should. I'd be interested to watch.
    2
  3329. Great - how many are currently on patrol protecting our air defences?
    2
  3330. By the time they get to Britain, the first attacks could have already have occurred.
    2
  3331. If they were also under Russian air attack, I doubt it.
    2
  3332. They are running training missions for their new Chilean owners.
    2
  3333. I suspect they already know our weaknesses. They've been analysing them since 1945.
    2
  3334. That would involve spending a small amount of money to maintain the equipment.
    2
  3335. So, basically everything's fine...and constant defence cuts are a good idea after all.
    2
  3336. You both misunderstand my video. I suggest that these Russian attacks could happen if Britain was already at war with Russia along with the rest of NATO because of a no-fly zone over Ukraine. The Russians planes would adopt Cold War strategies and attack from the north, over the sea, avoiding W. Europe. I am simply war gaming possible outcomes, according to the old adage of hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. Just like we failed to do in 1938-39.
    2
  3337. Better watch the video first - you may be surprised.
    2
  3338. I don't assume its just the UK that is attacked - I made it clear that firstly a no-fly zone will create a war with Russia involving NATO. Russia might then attack Britain as part of general military ops in Eastern Europe. It makes sense to try and undermine the second most important NATO power, providing the second largest military and naval force opposing them.
    2
  3339. At least people could still read my books!
    2
  3340. The bombers would never come anywhere near Britain - they would launch their cruise missiles hundreds of miles out to sea then return to Russia. The cruise missiles would be the problem for our fighters to try and locate and destroy. Remember, each Tu-160 can launch 12 missiles, all flying to independent targets over a huge area. You will need a lot of fighters, missile batteries and radar coverage to get them all.
    2
  3341. Inevitably, they have been flogged to one of our partner countries - Chile, I believe.
    2
  3342. They don't publicise them very well, for obvious reasons.
    2
  3343. One eye was glass
    2
  3344. Yes - about 20,000 bottles if I remember.
    2
  3345. Thank you for saying so
    2
  3346. Also known as the 'One Way Trip Souvenir'.
    2
  3347. Whenever I make an Allied video, I get half the views. I'd love to make more, but people won't watch them.
    2
  3348. The other one was Paul Hausser.
    2
  3349. In what way does this video 'glorifying' anything? It is an historical examination of an item and the man who commissioned it. I'm saddened that you can't tell the difference.
    2
  3350. They are not borders - rather they are areas of influence.
    2
  3351. So nice of you
    2
  3352. Indeed I am!
    2
  3353. It shows foreign 'areas of influence' in post Boxer rebellion China, as well as the actual colonies.
    2
  3354. Glad to hear that!
    2
  3355. I expect I will.
    2
  3356. The Italian Army was not ready for war in 1940 - much of its equipment was either obsolete or getting that way and was in the process of slowly upgrading artillery, tanks, personal weapons etc. The population was lukewarm about going to war, particularly as Italy had been on the Allied side in WWI. Italy also didn't have the industrial base to support full-scale war, and many Italians were not very keen on Hitler and the Nazis as bedfellows. Italian soldiers were capable of fighting very well when properly motivated and led and contrary to the propaganda, inflicted some defeats on the Allies early in the war.
    2
  3357. The original print article does cite sources, however, I no longer have a copy of the magazine.
    2
  3358. I've written extensively about Unit 731 - not a subject I want to return to and still sleep at night!
    2
  3359. Interned.
    2
  3360. Because the Japanese claimed it even though the shooting was done by an Italian gun crew.
    2
  3361. I never said it was - the map refers to areas of influence and Nepal had a close relationship with Britain since 1816.
    2
  3362. Great to hear!
    2
  3363. Don't be ridiculous!
    2
  3364. It shows an area of China under French influence from their formal colony.
    2
  3365. It shows 'areas of influence' rather than set colonial boundaries.
    2
  3366. Thanks
    2
  3367. I will
    2
  3368. They were captured back off the Germans, who captured them from the French in 1940.
    2
  3369. Disorientated is the British-English correct pronunciation - look it up in the OED old bean!
    2
  3370. No, I'm most certainly not! I was just throwing out an interesting historical event, but many rather touchy people seem to have misread my intention, or failed to watch the video before commenting.
    2
  3371. I'm certainly not doing what you accuse me of.
    2
  3372. Grow up and read some books. Everything I said in the video came from German sources you moron!
    2
  3373. I beg your pardon!
    2
  3374. Gerhard Raus was a German general.
    2
  3375. Hence I placed the words 'little sister' in inverted commas - you honestly think I don't know which ships were the Titanic's sisters and which were tenders? It's a title designed to draw in people interested in, wait for it, the Titanic.
    2
  3376. Many thanks - it would be great if you would consider supporting me on Patreon for only $1 a month: https://www.patreon.com/markfeltonproductions
    2
  3377. Great having you aboard!
    2
  3378. My use of the term 'sister' is merely to get people interested in watching a video about the Nomadic. Enjoy the video.
    2
  3379. Welcome aboard!
    2
  3380. There are several reputable studies that have concluded the number of ongoing deaths from cancer have been huge. 'Nature' ran a very in-depth piece on this recently.
    2
  3381. I'm 48 in May!
    2
  3382. I didn't say it was a 'nuclear' explosion, cloth ears.
    2
  3383. No, I don't - I never said 'nuclear bomb' cloth ears.
    2
  3384. Long-term deaths have been placed as around 9,000, still ongoing. Nature did a good piece on it.
    2
  3385. I referenced it in my description - it's a fascinating read.
    2
  3386. I suggest you check out the available literature - Nature, for example, did a large piece about the thousands of ongoing deaths from Chernobyl.
    2
  3387. Apparently, 300,000 received the Liquidators Medal.
    2
  3388. Glad you like them!
    2
  3389. Thanks for listening
    2
  3390. More to come!
    2
  3391. I've made a video on it: https://youtu.be/QrCc9XfNoBE
    2
  3392. Wow, thank you
    2
  3393. Thanks again!
    2
  3394. Braun and his staff reached out to the Americans to surrender - they knew their value.
    2
  3395. Glad you enjoyed it!
    2
  3396. No problem!
    2
  3397. I've made a video all about this very fact: https://youtu.be/3Z6EqhF0xgg
    2
  3398. Very welcome
    2
  3399. Thanks, you too!
    2
  3400. Glad you enjoyed it
    2
  3401. We were under sustained bombardment from German aircraft, V-1's and later V-2. Where I'm writing this, Norwich, was devastated in two massive Baedecker Raids in 1942 and also hit by over 40 V-2s towards the end of the war.
    2
  3402. In 2020, it was taken down by YouTube, so here it is again (edited).
    2
  3403. Try watching my video about his death, link in end screen.
    2
  3404. Yes, the original one was taken down.
    2
  3405. No - they are not individual explosive devices within a main device.
    2
  3406. Do you know if any detectorists have been injured by finding unexploded ordnance?
    2
  3407. I did watch a few episodes a few years ago!
    2
  3408. You probably should watch the video I did on Tiger 131 in Tunisia: https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=l757nPxZHOw
    2
  3409. Two of my books are currently in development in Hollywood, if that helps?
    2
  3410. I certainly meant 1941, concentration lapse!
    2
  3411. Well, I dropped French at school as soon as I could, and it shows!
    2
  3412. Not yet, but I will.
    2
  3413. No, they didn't
    2
  3414. I do like your MiG-21s
    2
  3415. I've seen them myself.
    2
  3416. No, the rest of the sentence goes on to debunk the claim. The 'yes' came from the land registry the journalist was talking to.
    2
  3417. Indeed!
    2
  3418. Indeed I was.
    2
  3419. I'm not sure Himmler ever went to Huis Doorn.
    2
  3420. I didn't say Sachsenberg invented the hydrofoil - rather he developed the concept further.
    2
  3421. The tunes are 'Prussia's Glory' and 'Yorckscher Marsch', both available on YouTube Commons
    2
  3422. It's you.
    2
  3423. You're very welcome!
    2
  3424. Prussia's Glory
    2
  3425. Prussia's Glory
    2
  3426. Their last great offensive failed.
    2
  3427. Good point!
    2
  3428. We don't pronounce it like Americans I'm afraid.
    2
  3429. Well, there are plenty of other channels you can watch.
    2
  3430. The Bavarian Army was part of the Imperial German Army, and Wilhelm II was Emperor.
    2
  3431. You are correct.
    2
  3432. Glad you enjoyed it.
    2
  3433. Thanks
    2
  3434. Thanks for watching
    2
  3435. I'm a Colchester born and bred lad as well!
    2
  3436. See Part 1
    2
  3437. I that case I could add HMS Victory, but let's be realistic. Both are museum ships that are still in commission.
    2
  3438. 'The Republic of China' is the official name of Taiwan. The one you are thinking of is the 'People's Republic of China', ie mainland China. BTW, I lived in China for 10 years, so I know the difference!
    2
  3439. Welrod's are super rare and expensive, including deactivated ones.
    2
  3440. I believe most forces realise the value and have them deactivated rather than crushed.
    2
  3441. Actually, the Type 14 is an adequate pistol - the magazine feeding and extraction problems are caused by Americans using postwar ammo of a slightly different shape, size and/or charge and failing to oil the rounds in the magazine. A lot of crap is written about Type 14s, almost as much in fact as the Type 94!
    2
  3442. All I can say is that your grandfather must have borrowed an elephant's kitbag!
    2
  3443. Many thanks for this interesting explanation.
    2
  3444. Thank you - but its not me
    2
  3445. What an unpleasant comment. You watched my video presumably to learn something. If you disagree with my thesis, by all means make a documentary about it and I will be more than happy to critique it. As an historian, I deal only in facts, not conspiracy theories. I have presented the facts based on actual evidence that is freely available to everyone.
    2
  3446. Thanks for watching
    2
  3447. I will, many thanks
    2
  3448. Thanks
    2
  3449. Thanks for watching
    2
  3450. Already done that subject.
    2
  3451. She was married and had a daughter. She was bisexual.
    2
  3452. Already have
    2
  3453. Correct
    2
  3454. Yes, a unique uniform choice. Perhaps a comment on his psychology.
    2
  3455. Damn - I just noticed I started using the wrong name after posting the video. However, I'll leave the video up - I think I must have had 'Rasputin' in my head!
    2
  3456. Noted
    2
  3457. I did
    2
  3458. Well, we did have the Gloster Meteor jet fighter operational during WWII (the only Allied jet to achieve this status), which isn't too shabby.
    2
  3459. Try watching the video before writing comments. I never said B-29s were used 'over Germany'. I explained that one was used to try and fool the Germans into believing that B-29s would shortly be flying against Germany. And that B-29 did serve in Europe, being based in England.
    2
  3460. If you want merchandise, I always encourage my followers to purchase copies of my books from Amazon or any bookshop. They will last longer than a t-shirt or a mug and hopefully will prove to be slightly more interesting!
    2
  3461. I never said that they did. I said that Russia claimed 'some' had done so.
    2
  3462. You missed the part where I laid out both sides arguments then?
    2
  3463. 11 mine hunters and mine countermeasures vessels.
    2
  3464. Cheers!
    2
  3465. Morons!
    2
  3466. It is classified as a heavy bomber - look it up!
    2
  3467. Glad you like them!
    2
  3468. Actually, he was Lord Lovat (not a duke), and he commanded 1st Special Service Brigade during D-Day
    2
  3469. Thanks for sharing all this fascinating information.
    2
  3470. The little one was the Daimler Dingo named for an Australian semi-wild dog
    2
  3471. University lecturer.
    2
  3472. The rest of the site behind the bluff was lower lying land and required less work.
    2
  3473. That's about right, though I love films and going to the cinema.
    2
  3474. Most computers have volume button precious.
    2
  3475. This video is about WW2 moron.
    2
  3476. I'm pleased to hear it
    2
  3477. Will do
    2
  3478. Already have - suggest you check it out.
    2
  3479. The account from the squadron commander that took him up specifically notes that no parachute could be worn in this second seat. It may be a parachute harness adapted for use as a seat harness, without the chute.
    2
  3480. No one knows - I imagine the Germans burned them
    2
  3481. Same to you!
    2
  3482. Yes I do
    2
  3483. It does - and also when I enter shops and restaurants, which is fairly embarrassing.
    2
  3484. Wonderful!
    2
  3485. Glad you enjoy it!
    2
  3486. Tank you for watching
    2
  3487. Thank you
    2
  3488. Thanks
    2
  3489. Many thanks
    2
  3490. Thanks - it will be finished soon
    2
  3491. I'd like to point out that if Norway was controlled by Denmark at the time, and the islands belonged to Norway, they were de facto part of the Danish crown. Therefore, what I said was correct, without digressing into a mediaeval history lesson!
    2
  3492. I'm not that old!
    2
  3493. Can you email me the link to hello@markfelton.co.uk
    2
  3494. I have already covered the FW190 low-level raids against England, but I hadn't heard of this particular raid. Thanks for sharing.
    2
  3495. There is an historical information board.
    2
  3496. At least one of his Iron Crosses is in the Russian archives. His Golden Party Badge was recovered by the Soviets from Magda Goebbels charred corpse and is also in Moscow. Of the rest (he had multiples on different uniforms), I'd have to do more research.
    2
  3497. Thanks again!
    2
  3498. Thanks so much!
    2
  3499. Thank you so much!!
    2
  3500. I appreciate that!
    2
  3501. Future video as different subject
    2
  3502. Seized by the State of Bavaria
    2
  3503. I have a video all about Richthofen's death, if interested.
    2
  3504. Unfortunately, they rarely get the viewing figures so I make them infrequently.
    2
  3505. I take it then that I'm off your Christmas card list?
    2
  3506. I'm no expert on mortars, but I know they are loud enough (depending on calibre) that ducking to protect one's ears from the sound and pressure wave is probably wise. I believe a mortar crew will fire a certain number of bombs in a barrage, then re-adjust the tube back on target to fire again. In the movies you may have heard US crews yell "rounds complete" after a half dozen or so bombs have left the tube.
    2
  3507. Just watch out for those cheeky Fokkers!
    2
  3508. It was a question of perceived manliness - some pilots disdained them (as did their commanders) as it might encourage people to bale out instead of fighting hard. You have to remember that a lot of the pilots were aristocrats who viewed the plane as their 'steed' and the enemy as 'quarry' to be hunted according to their own narrow chivalric belief system of honour and bravery. Fortunately, wiser council prevailed later in the war and parachutes did start to be issued.
    2
  3509. Hydrogen was the cheapest and most effective gas for maintaining a constant altitude, leaving the observer free to do his job.
    2
  3510. I don't own the copyright - its licenced to creators via iMovie.
    2
  3511. They did occasionally try using AA guns to bring them down.
    2
  3512. No, he wasn't. Do some research please.
    2
  3513. If you really research the subject, it is clear that the bullet that killed Richthofen entered his body from below, but Brown made one steep diving attack on Richthofen from high above as the Red Baron was attacking Wop May's aircraft. Along with lots of corroborating evidence, its pretty clear that he was killed by ground fire. Richthofen's plane continued to fly aggressively after Wop May immediately following Brown's diving attack, which Richthofen would not have been able to do had Brown fatally wounded him with the single .303 bullet that ultimately killed him. Then Richthofen's plane was seen to stagger and crash land after being fired on at a very low level by Australian machine gunners, ending his attack on May's plane. I believe Richthofen was killed by Sergeant Cedric Popkin.
    2
  3514. Barrage balloons, not observation versions.
    2
  3515. Thank you
    2
  3516. I read that the Swedish Army had a plan in place to invade Denmark and prevent this outcome.
    2
  3517. I know, I was using her maiden name as she was on her way to her wedding.
    2
  3518. I did make a video about military mules - but alas hardly anyone watched it.
    2
  3519. I convinced mine
    2
  3520. Not that Mike Fenton bloke - I hate him.
    2
  3521. Can't disagree with your second point!
    2
  3522. Thank you kindly!
    2
  3523. Ja
    2
  3524. Nah - that would be the English Electric Lightning!
    2
  3525. What videos on 'current American politics'? Do enlighten me.
    2
  3526. Yes.
    2
  3527. Wow, thanks!
    2
  3528. Glad you enjoy it!
    2
  3529. About 150
    2
  3530. I'm familiar with the Heligoland cock-up. I may do a video.
    2
  3531. Apparently, the Mossies were finer tuned that the 190s. According to the sources, the Mosquitoes did outrun them at low level - I should imagine the FW190 was much better at altitude.
    2
  3532. About 150 civilian casualties, but being a Sunday, the factories were running at reduced capacity.
    2
  3533. Too often overlooked, in my opinion!
    2
  3534. Because the Mosquito had only just been introduced to service. Later, the other squadrons transferred over to Mossies.
    2
  3535. My pleasure!
    2
  3536. Yes, there were. For example: Junkers 87 Stuka.
    2
  3537. Correct answer.
    2
  3538. Glad to hear it
    2
  3539. It wasn't the aircraft, it was the readiness of the crews. Too inexperienced according to No. 2 Group HQ during practice runs.
    2
  3540. I make clear in the video that I'm not doing the history of Kosovo. Plenty of books and articles cover that more than adequately.
    2
  3541. I meant the same day as the Soviet invasion.
    2
  3542. I believe he was commanding a Volkssturm unit and obviously didn't believe in deserting his men.
    2
  3543. I already have a Facebook page up and running under my channel's name.
    2
  3544. USS Princeton
    2
  3545. No, they're not.
    2
  3546. My apologies - v. grainy footage and a lapse of concentration.
    2
  3547. Happy birthday!
    2
  3548. Happy Birthday!
    2
  3549. Himmler didn't have the tattoo.
    2
  3550. They tried 85mm guns on Panthers, but abandoned the project.
    2
  3551. East Anglian born and bred.
    2
  3552. 'March of Midnight' by Scott Buckley
    2
  3553. Many thanks for your kind words, and for watching!
    2
  3554. That's probably because I'm a replicant
    2
  3555. We don't have a tradition of abdication. She swore an oath to serve the British people for her whole life.
    2
  3556. No, the video shows American troops test firing a captured German 8.8cm PaK 43. Try learning how to read, as I clearly placed a caption in the video explaining this.
    2
  3557. If you listened, I said that I had done a video about Fireball. I merely summarise the story here as it's linked to the loss of the Pershing in March 1945.
    2
  3558. It wasn't meant to be 'sneaky', but intriguing.
    2
  3559. We spell it 'aluminium'.
    2
  3560. I have consistently mentioned Canada in every video I have made that involved her. Try watching some of them before making lazy accusations!
    2
  3561. I'm sure the music of the German Empire was used in all regions occasionally.
    2
  3562. I think you will find that the circumstances of Himmler's death are far from clear, with the official story riddled with inaccuracies and even today many documents still withheld from historical scrutiny. But you want and judge my video on it in the future.
    2
  3563. I get that a lot!
    2
  3564. Bastogne is not pronounced in French like the Americans say it. Look it up. I try my best with the lingo.
    2
  3565. Jagdtiger is pronounced "yagdteeger" in German. Bastogne is pronounced "Bastoinye" locally. Do feel free to look these things up before going near a keyboard.
    2
  3566. Actually I've cloned myself
    2
  3567. In the description my friend
    2
  3568. I've done a video (unsurprisingly)
    2
  3569. Can but hope!
    2
  3570. Jarrolds is my local bookshop! I'm in there regularly. Great coffee shops too!
    2
  3571. Because he was given the jacket from Luftwaffe stocks - the KM didn't issue such garments so far as I know. Not a lot of call for camo on U-boats!
    2
  3572. I once filmed a documentary aboard her - and had a really interesting tour afterwards!
    2
  3573. No really - I think most Americans are using the standard bazooka in WW2. It was upgraded later on.
    2
  3574. Don't worry, the men themselves were happy to shave them off. Beards were not considered fashionable in the 1940s and were banned in almost all militaries, not the least because of hygiene concerns.
    2
  3575. I think we will!
    2
  3576. My pleasure!
    2
  3577. Much appreciated
    2
  3578. Couldn't find any
    2
  3579. The Thing was derived from the Type 82, but hardly any parts were interchangeable.
    2
  3580. Please do!
    2
  3581. I have
    2
  3582. I thought Rambo was in the US Army?
    2
  3583. The year after this, on a school field trip to Yorkshire, a mate of mine picked up and handed me something interesting he found whilst mapping - it was an unexploded WWII British mortar bomb. We put it down very slowly and our group backed away with some alacrity! Needless to say, we could have all done with a trip to the toilet afterwards!
    2
  3584. Yes, but we didn't want Stalin looking at us across 22 miles of English Channel!
    2
  3585. Thank you kindly!
    2
  3586. I think its interesting to see and hear how these events were reported at the time.
    2
  3587. I'm very happy with my YouTube channels - they get bigger audiences with no-one interfering with my creative freedom!
    2
  3588. Welcome aboard!
    2
  3589. They seem to have managed without. I've often wondered why the USMC was not used in Europe. We used the Royal Marines for D-Day and many other operations in Europe and the Med, as well as the Far East.
    2
  3590. Thank you so much 😀
    2
  3591. Keil
    2
  3592. They fought and then surrendered or died in combat.
    2
  3593. Meaning what?
    2
  3594. Shermans are too heavy for any helicopter yet invented.
    2
  3595. I didn't see that one - but I will check it out now!
    2
  3596. Back in the early '90s I spent a short period with the 1st Battalion, 7th Duke of Edinburgh's Own Gurkha Rifles before the Gurkha regiments were amalgamated. At that time, it was full of Falklands veterans. They were all very disappointed that the Argentines had decided not to defend Mount William and scarpered. They felt robbed of an opportunity to show once again their incredible battlefield prowess. They never beheaded anyone in the Falklands, though they would have gone into action with their Kukris on their belts as well as their SLRs. Some of the finest light infantrymen in the world and really lovely people!
    2
  3597. Correct.
    2
  3598. To see if you would ask me.
    2
  3599. I can't help that your mind is a sewer, can I?
    2
  3600. Relieved of his command for failure to carry out the attack. Replaced by Brigadefuhrer Krukenberg.
    2
  3601. No problem
    2
  3602. Old music dusted off and used for a change
    2
  3603. Considering you are watching my programmes for free, you should perhaps keep such an opinion to yourself.
    2
  3604. But the Luftwaffe did
    2
  3605. Belfast is a light cruiser - not a battleship
    2
  3606. None of which are battleships
    2
  3607. I didn't know that
    2
  3608. Thank you
    2
  3609. Cruiser not battlecruiser - quite different
    2
  3610. Light cruiser
    2
  3611. HMS Belfast is a cruiser
    2
  3612. Belfast is smaller - a light cruiser.
    2
  3613. Belfast is a cruiser - about a third the size of a battleship
    2
  3614. Time will tell
    2
  3615. Light cruiser - not a battlecruiser. Battlecruisers are the size of battleships
    2
  3616. You are slightly wrong as we also have HMS Caroline, a WW1 light cruiser in Belfast, HMS Cavalier, a WWII destroyer at Chatham and HMS M33, a WW1 monitor in Portsmouth, plus a few other warships that are not on public display, though as you say all the really impressive vessels went to the knacker's yard decades ago.
    2
  3617. Its a light cruiser
    2
  3618. It is.
    2
  3619. Thanks
    2
  3620. Cruiser
    2
  3621. A light cruiser is not a battleship
    2
  3622. Belfast is a light cruiser, Warrior the world's first proper ironclad warship. Neither are battleships I'm afraid.
    2
  3623. Many thanks
    2
  3624. I heard that the photo was actually faked up by the Japanese in WWII for propaganda reasons.
    2
  3625. His Berlin house was destroyed by bombing - his country estate near Berlin was blown up with explosive charges on his orders. Two different places.
    2
  3626. No, it wasn't.
    2
  3627. This isn’t about Bodenplatte
    2
  3628. What part of my narrative trivialised this event? The opposite - it educated people about a forgotten and overshadowed event.
    2
  3629. It's not about the Indianapolis
    2
  3630. Yes
    2
  3631. No - it was a remote operation as I understand it.
    2
  3632. No-one was killed - a robot was working on the bomb as I understand it.
    2
  3633. Will do
    2
  3634. I plan to in the future
    2
  3635. Excellent idea!
    2
  3636. Yes, I'm in the ones discussing General Hideki Tojo.
    2
  3637. I understood Lechfeld to be at the confluence of the Lech and Danube.
    2
  3638. Details are in the video description. Many thanks.
    2
  3639. I never said he was. A naive individual who believed in his own self-importance.
    2
  3640. Yes, that is a future topic on the list.
    2
  3641. Thanks, will do!
    2
  3642. The British massively destabilised China in two Opium Wars (1839-42 and 1856-60) and with the other powers crushed Imperial China's last misguided attempt to restore the status quo, the Boxer Rebellion of 1900. Couple this with the a series of huge anti-Qing rebellions and wars and enormous bureaucratic incompetence and corruption, it is easy to see why revolution broke out in 1911.
    2
  3643. I've heard rumours, and I will look into it further.
    2
  3644. I don't think any audio exists of Bormann.
    2
  3645. Not an 'inner circle' policy-making Nazi - just a mid-level officer answerable to Heydrich, who was answerable to Himmler.
    2
  3646. You can watch it on my Dailymotion channel Mark Felton Productions.
    2
  3647. I only used clips from the wartime period for this video rather than 30+ years later.
    2
  3648. Try my DailyMotion channel: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7mkxf1
    2
  3649. Ribbentrop definitely spoke English fluently, Speer and Goering well with heavy accents. Can't speak for the rest.
    2
  3650. No - brand new
    2
  3651. Better watch the video first.
    2
  3652. No, done too many times by everyone else. I prefer something unknown.
    2
  3653. thanks - I'm going to remake that video in the future once I can get back to Italy and visit the sites concerned.
    2
  3654. Not according to most of my subscribers.
    2
  3655. Thanks! 😃
    2
  3656. Note my pinned comment!
    2
  3657. A Spitfire is worth about £3 million if airworthy, perhaps more.
    2
  3658. Flying Heritage Museum, Everett, Washington.
    2
  3659. All the Japanese planes in "Tora, Tora, Tora!" were modified US training aircraft or props.
    2
  3660. I couldn't find any figures so erred on the side of caution.
    2
  3661. The same problem I experienced!
    2
  3662. I've written 22! Please check out Amazon or my Wikipedia page for titles.
    2
  3663. Where in any of my videos do I denigrate the US contribution to WWII? That is a very unfair and incorrect summation of my work. Regarding this action, you can easily read up on what happened.
    2
  3664. You are right - I'm using generally understood terms to avoid a lot of tedious explanation.
    2
  3665. Many thanks!
    2
  3666. Many thanks
    2
  3667. Glad you enjoyed it
    2
  3668. Prussia's Glory
    2
  3669. Wow, thanks!
    2
  3670. I doubt it - the Beer Hall Putsch was 97 years ago.
    2
  3671. Glad you think so!
    2
  3672. You are very welcome
    2
  3673. Yes
    2
  3674. Wernher von Braun was a Nazi, as were many of his fellow scientists. They benefitted enormously at the expense of tens of thousands of innocent lives and never had to face court for their crimes. Try reading books before writing comments. Ad for your information, I have not called every German a 'Nazi', only those who evidently were!
    2
  3675. Thanks, will do!
    2
  3676. Yes.
    2
  3677. Yes, I forgot, and considering I wrote about Stangl in my book 'The Last Nazis', a silly mistake!
    2
  3678. Look up Dr. Shiro Ishii - the propensity of the Allies to hand out 'get out of jail free' cards in 1945-46 was staggering.
    2
  3679. Not a lot - only the US or USSR could afford to develop those sorts of weapons/vehicles.
    2
  3680. No, forced labour was compelled labour, such as French dragooned into working for the Germans. They received pay and reasonable living conditions. Slave labour refers to concentration camp prisoners who literally slaved for SS industries, receiving no pay and with often deathly living conditions and arbitrary punishments. The Allies never used slave labour, but they did occasionally use forced labour of compelled enemy citizens etc. The only Allied nation that did use slave labour was the Soviet Union in the Gulag system.
    2
  3681. Thanks for listening
    2
  3682. It worked perfectly well with the Heinkel He 162 Salamander. A really excellent aircraft.
    2
  3683. Many thanks!
    2
  3684. As indeed I say in the video...
    2
  3685. In English it means 'Arrow' - its from a local Amerindian dialect.
    2
  3686. Look up 'Operation Backfire'
    2
  3687. Braun in German is pronounced 'Brown' like the English word. Americans seemingly changed all the correct German pronunciations and now, for example, call 'Braun' 'Brawn'.
    2
  3688. Nazi rockets that were used to carry monkeys - I never called the monkeys Nazis.
    2
  3689. I did work for the British Government in the past, but that's as much as I'm willing to say.
    2
  3690. There are several in the UK and one at Peenemunde.
    2
  3691. Do your homework first! I'm watching.
    2
  3692. Not quite...but soon I believe.
    2
  3693. Always expect the unexpected!
    2
  3694. I never suggested the monkeys were Nazis - they were monkeys in Nazi-built rockets. As for click-bait, no, if you watch it you might learn something.
    2
  3695. Actually, the reason was the Labour government's pursuit of nuclear weapons and a welfare state!
    2
  3696. Actually, wild animals did not live as long as captive ones, so the monkey probably was the oldest of her species.
    2
  3697. It's not April
    2
  3698. Me too!
    2
  3699. Episode 2
    2
  3700. It feels like the 'dreaded lurgy'!
    2
  3701. Endscreen.
    2
  3702. I'm delaying it for a while as I've just done a big one with the Hitler series.
    2
  3703. I said Prussian.
    2
  3704. It is, with Eisenhower.
    2
  3705. As I've given up smoking and drinking, no can do.
    2
  3706. I think he would have finished off Ian's whisky!
    2
  3707. He didn't, which surprises a lot of people.

  3708. When I've finished researching it.
    2
  3709. I wrote a book called 'Ghost Riders' about the Lipizzaners saved by Patton's actions.
    2
  3710. I think he looks a bit like Edward Fox in 'A Bridge Too Far'.
    2
  3711. Precisely! Most definitely an invasion in anyone's book.
    2
  3712. He got 15 years in a labour camp in the Soviet Union, then emigrated later on.
    2
  3713. That's because you've gone stark raving mad!
    2
  3714. Probably
    2
  3715. I'd need to have made a video three times longer to tackle that thorny subject!
    2
  3716. I believe refusing cash is illegal unless the business in question has put up a very large sign warning customers. It is the legal currency, after all.
    2
  3717. Best way is to take one's business elsewhere. Plenty of small, independent coffee shops that welcome the business and the cash.
    2
  3718. Entered service very early 1960s.
    2
  3719. It didn't enter service until 1961, so I left that one out.
    2
  3720. I have visited the tea house site several times, and the site is fine, but there is something off about the walk through the forest to reach it, particularly near that Moll bunker. The atmosphere is off.
    2
  3721. I enjoyed the remake.
    2
  3722. A sweeping and ill-informed statement, unless the 16 Panzer Division diarist was also a communist!
    2
  3723. As indeed it was as I released it yesterday!
    2
  3724. I do occasionally - but I have to think of what my general audience wants to see. I do take suggestions!
    2
  3725. I never stated that - clearly you didn't watch the video, or you are being deliberately disingenuous.
    2
  3726. They were Queen's Gurkha Orderly Officers. The King also has two, by tradition.
    2
  3727. She was in my Buckingham Palace video.
    2
  3728. No.
    2
  3729. I don't think the Zulus would have bothered with the place!
    2
  3730. Must be a new one - only ever heard of 10 QOGLR. Glad they are also expanding.
    2
  3731. I wouldn't call it a 'military career'! I never commissioned as my life took a different path.
    2
  3732. I'm 50! But thanks for your comment.
    2
  3733. Glad you enjoyed it
    2
  3734. I must be a fool as I've never heard of this 'Hiller' chap - tell me more.
    2
  3735. You are too kind
    2
  3736. I voice all of my videos myself! I am the 'advanced voice technology!'
    2
  3737. You are very welcome
    2
  3738. You should search my video list
    2
  3739. We had already done our bit with the Malayan Emergency 1948-60
    2
  3740. Thank you.
    2
  3741. Thank you very much
    2
  3742. Thank you
    2
  3743. Thanks
    2
  3744. Many thanks
    2
  3745. Thanks
    2
  3746. I've never narrated professionally, though I have appeared in many mainstream documentaries for The History Channel, NatGeo etc. Thanks for watching.
    2
  3747. Tech issue
    2
  3748. I think you'll find that Mr. May is correct.
    2
  3749. I know - I accidentally left them and the Czechs off the list. I'm sorry.
    2
  3750. Yes, I have a video about the strafing of a Household Cavalry reconnaissance patrol by A-10s over on my other channel. Sad story.
    2
  3751. Actually, one Stinger missile currently costs just under $120,000, so that's still considerably more expensive than a second-hand An-2.
    2
  3752. Actually, one Stinger missile currently costs just under $120,000, so that's still considerably more expensive than a second-hand An-2.
    2
  3753. Actually, one Stinger missile currently costs just under $120,000, so that's still considerably more expensive than a second-hand An-2.
    2
  3754. Actually, my favourite tank is the Panther.
    2
  3755. The former part of your question is the correct answer.
    2
  3756. Panther
    2
  3757. In fact, there are two Panthers on display, one completely intact!
    2
  3758. No, it was first reported by the SS during their wartime records.
    2
  3759. I've made a video about that - generated a lot of debate.
    2
  3760. 23 + several wrecks
    2
  3761. Happy birthday!
    2
  3762. I have no idea. But very impressive.
    2
  3763. I've made several prototype tank videos.
    2
  3764. Great film - fired my imagination in the early '80s
    2
  3765. That is correct - to a depth of 4.5m is what I read.
    2
  3766. Good question.
    2
  3767. I'm afraid you are quite wrong. Gurkhas made up 10% of the British Indian Army in WW2 (200,000 out of 2 million) which was predominantly recruited from the Punjab, United Provinces and Madras. And regarding VCs, the number was pretty much equally split between Gurkhas and British officers serving in Gurkha Rifles regiments. Indian forces won many, many VCs as well. Gurkhas remain today in the British Army after Indian independence, with about 5,000 currently serving in the three battalions of the Royal Gurkha Rifles and support units, and are among the best light infantry we possess. The British absolutely love the Gurkhas!
    2
  3768. Thank you
    2
  3769. I'm calling moron
    2
  3770. I didn't show a single Alligator - I personally filmed all the Crocodilians that featured in this video and they were Salt Water Crocodiles and Mugger Crocodiles.
    2
  3771. A pleasure
    2
  3772. In my garage in crates
    2
  3773. Thanks for your support
    2
  3774. Me too!
    2
  3775. Apparently the homeowners were fairly distressed - but not about their trees, rather the dead German in the shrubbery
    2
  3776. I didn't make that map
    2
  3777. A pleasure
    2
  3778. Thank you!
    2
  3779. Thanks for watching my channel
    2
  3780. Thank you for watching
    2
  3781. Thank you sir!
    2
  3782. Thanks
    2
  3783. Yes, certainly showed up the Nazis' priorities at this point!
    2
  3784. I took it down as it was blocked 3 times. Tedious business.
    2
  3785. Glad you enjoyed it
    2
  3786. Thanks for drawing my attention to this one - expect a video soon.
    2
  3787. Thanks for saying so - the channel is growing quite quickly and thanks for your support
    2
  3788. No, its an actual photo from the TF Baum driving through the fence at Flag XIII-B
    2
  3789. Thanks for watching
    2
  3790. That's where I first read about it too. No movie as its a disaster for the Americans
    2
  3791. It's not for sale
    2
  3792. Kripo - Kriminalpolizei
    2
  3793. I've done a video about Hitler's Mercedes currently in Ottawa
    2
  3794. Cemetery records, and photos of Heydrich's funeral in 1942.
    2
  3795. I heard that too - probably feared for his job.
    2
  3796. Yes, and Operation Daybreak, which I prefer.
    2
  3797. No, I'm not
    2
  3798. Thanks for the great advice!
    2
  3799. The greenish colour is something to do with the restoration work.
    2
  3800. At the time, it was a region of the Soviet Union and was often described as 'the Ukraine' in contemporary books and newsreels. It was not a country in its own right until the fall of the USSR in the early 1990s.
    2
  3801. Because in 1941 it was not a country, rather a region of the USSR. Everyone used the expression 'the Ukraine' back in the day - watch any old documentary in English.
    2
  3802. I've often wondered
    2
  3803. Steel cores.
    2
  3804. Guns are loud
    2
  3805. 7.62×25mm Tokarev
    2
  3806. Mein Kampf royalties, and his image licenced on postage stamps etc.
    2
  3807. I also had a tour through that boat before she was sectioned - very eerie on a dark rainy day.
    2
  3808. Glad you think so!
    2
  3809. Bit too dark for me
    2
  3810. No
    2
  3811. Best of luck!
    2
  3812. Try watching the video before going off half-cocked
    2
  3813. I think 'murder' is the technically and legally correct definition. But it happened widely throughout WWII, and was committed by all sides.
    2
  3814. The latter
    2
  3815. Syria
    2
  3816. One word - 'crap'
    2
  3817. Shooting surrendering enemy soldiers is murder, regardless of which side did it. The Geneva and Hague Conventions are very clear about this. Of course, it happened for various reasons throughout the war, and many officers turned a blind eye to such behaviour. Don't forget later in the film Spielberg addresses this issue when the argument occurs over whether to shoot the surrendered German machine gunner at the radar station.
    2
  3818. Youtube removed it some time ago, so I thought it was time it came back!
    2
  3819. Youtube removed it some time ago, so I thought it was time it came back!
    2
  3820. Youtube removed it some time ago, so I thought it was time it came back!
    2
  3821. I made this video using the pilot's report, and he is still alive if you'd care to question him.
    2
  3822. It was relatively light but solidly constructed. It didn't feel hollow, though I'm guessing it probably is. It was comfortable to carry and I even tried a salute with it as you see Donitz holding it on parades! Quite eerie.
    2
  3823. You will find out what they did in Ep. 2
    2
  3824. That was probably the attitude of many British soldiers at the time.
    2
  3825. There are already several memorials in the US honouring WWII Ukrainian SS units.
    2
  3826. Tom Lehrer
    2
  3827. You mean Kurt Waldheim? He was an army officer who, I believe, had been involved with war crimes on behalf of the Austrian artist.
    2
  3828. Good one
    2
  3829. Provide historical context
    2
  3830. ??
    2
  3831. Another German!
    2
  3832. I wondered that too - particularly as von Braun and many of his ilk were unrepentant concerning their hand in the Holocaust.
    2
  3833. You'd be surprised.
    2
  3834. I believe they 'leaned' on him with menaces.
    2
  3835. My pleasure!
    2
  3836. Thanks - a snapshot my wife took last week.
    2
  3837. They are Germans and Canadians.
    2
  3838. If you are referring to Seyss-Inquart, his cooperation was an attempt to ingratiate himself with the Allies as he realised Germany had effectively lost the war.
    2
  3839. Yes
    2
  3840. Dank je
    2
  3841. Apologies, I missed spelled his surname in the video. It is the same man.
    2
  3842. Sorry, but I do not have Instagram.
    2
  3843. In The Great Escape.
    2
  3844. He took part.
    2
  3845. Yes, Americans tend to pronounce German surnames differently from the original German. So Braun is pronounced 'Brown' in German with the 'r' inflected slightly differently from the English way of saying 'Brown', but it sounds almost the same.
    2
  3846. Bit before my time, but a great TV series.
    2
  3847. A pleasure
    2
  3848. Thanks - sorted!
    2
  3849. A minor error - I'm sure you can find it in your heart to forgive?
    2
  3850. Fortunately, the weather was very cold!
    2
  3851. The Nazi leaders capsules were glass and carried inside a brass, cartridge-type case. The Soviets found glass fragments in the mouths of the alleged corpses of Hitler and Eva Braun in Berlin, as noted in the autopsy report I have. Their cyanide capsules were provided by Himmler via and SS factory.
    2
  3852. No, I'm referring to all of the armed forces of Nazi Germany
    2
  3853. You believe that, you'll believe the one about Japan having no aircraft carriers.
    2
  3854. Have at it!
    2
  3855. Glad you are enjoying it!
    2
  3856. Because it didn't exist until 1948.
    2
  3857. It was written as follows: 'Abd al-Ilah' - so I presumed it was pronounced thus.
    2
  3858. Iraq invaded Iran in 1980 and Kuwait in 1990. Saddam ordered those attacks.
    2
  3859. Out of the scope of the video - its not the entire history of modern Iraq!
    2
  3860. Those things are missing because it's not a video about the entire history of the Middle East! I suggest that if you are unhappy with my efforts, make your own video about it.
    2
  3861. No mention is made of Himmler, or Sigmund Freud.
    2
  3862. Jog on
    2
  3863. Donald Pleasance was the best Himmler on film.
    2
  3864. Actually, my second biggest demographic are viewers under 30. I think the large number of WWII-themed computer games has actually increased interest in this area of history.
    2
  3865. I've been fascinated with this for years - Kensington Rune Stone etc.
    2
  3866. Well, you are probably right to some degree.
    2
  3867. Undoubtedly some of his relatives houses ended up in NYC.
    2
  3868. Too kind
    2
  3869. Thanks
    2
  3870. I used to read those - it must be in my subconscious!
    2
  3871. Thank you
    2
  3872. Thanks. They served in Korea
    2
  3873. I also provide a link to my PayPal should you feel so inclined.
    2
  3874. Very few Germans knew how to drive in WWII - the army even had a special drivers badge. Car ownership was much less common than in the US. When the Germans captured large numbers of American jeeps and trucks in the Ardennes Offensive they had to force US POWs to drive some of them as they didn't have enough qualified drivers among their own units.
    2
  3875. Already made two about Soviet women snipers and flak gunners.
    2
  3876. Few Germans knew how to drive in the 1940s - car ownership was very low compared to the US.
    2
  3877. Not yet!
    2
  3878. I think he must be my youngest viewer - a big hello to him and thanks for watching.
    2
  3879. My condolences to you and your family for your loss.
    2
  3880. 2035
    2
  3881. Churchill left office on 26th July 1945, so was still PM when the events in this video were occurring.
    2
  3882. Captured
    2
  3883. Perhaps one is still buried at the site - unexploded?
    2
  3884. I have - 3 times!
    2
  3885. Advertising hoarding
    2
  3886. Thanks for the information. That would explain the devastation.
    2
  3887. Canadians I think.
    2
  3888. Many thanks - the models are not mine unfortunately, but they are magnificent.
    2
  3889. Fw200s were active around Iceland.
    2
  3890. I can't mention all of them - for example, what the gliders at Bastogne etc, etc. I have to draw a line somewhere.
    2
  3891. Thanks
    2
  3892. Focke-Wulf
    2
  3893. I've already made a video about the BOAC Mosquitos used on the Stockholm run.
    2
  3894. Yes, it did until it was absorbed in 1947, if I remember correctly.
    2
  3895. They were WWII ex-Luftwaffe aircraft, the Luftwaffe being the Air Force of the Third Reich or colloquially 'Nazi Germany'. I could go on.
    2
  3896. Yawn.
    2
  3897. Your comment was quite pleasing.
    2
  3898. I didn't say it was original.
    2
  3899. I don't put any ads into my videos - YouTube does.
    2
  3900. Will do
    2
  3901. Happy birthday!
    2
  3902. No offence intended - I was using 'Britain' as a euphemism for 'British Empire'. I am fully aware of the contribution and sacrifice of Commonwealth forces. But if I was to name every dominion and colony it would be the longest video I've ever made!
    2
  3903. A German plane accidentally bombed London during the Battle of Britain. Churchill retaliated with a raid on Berlin. Hitler went nuts and ordered the mass bombing of Berlin, taking the pressure off Fighter Command's airfields at the critical moment, leading to the RAF defeating the Luftwaffe over southern England. Not for the first time, Hitler aided us in winning.
    2
  3904. I won't - I've barely scratched the surface of 6 years of mayhem.
    2
  3905. أنا أقدر لك الكلمات الرقيقة.
    2
  3906. Don't worry, they are all bones and dust now.
    2
  3907. Don't worry, I think I can resist.
    2
  3908. By the time he had drawn a pistol, Hitler's RSD bodyguards would have shot him down.
    2
  3909. He is holding the Bluhtfahne, a Nazi holy relic stained with blood from the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch. It was used to touch new flags and standards in a semi-religious ceremony. I've made a video about it.
    2
  3910. Mirrors
    2
  3911. Yes.
    2
  3912. A military government would have been put in place to run the war properly and negotiate an end to hostilities with Britain and America. War would probably have continued against the USSR.
    2
  3913. Mirrors
    2
  3914. Unfortunately, no such short fuse existed at the time. They did later try to use hand grenade fuses, but never actually used such a device as circumstances halted another human bomber attack on Hitler soon after this one.
    2
  3915. Mirrors - used like periscopes
    2
  3916. I will add a credit now I know who took it! Many thanks
    2
  3917. I sometimes appear in full scale tv documentaries, though I don't make those
    2
  3918. Greetings from Norwich also!
    2
  3919. There is oil offshore - for that reason alone they remain British
    2
  3920. Not the finest moment in the Entente Cordiale
    2
  3921. Are you referring to the incident in Gibraltar?
    2
  3922. Klepper canoe, much favoured by SAS and SBS
    2
  3923. No, I don't.
    2
  3924. Oil, my friend, oil
    2
  3925. Already have.
    2
  3926. Germany allows the swastika for religious reasons only.
    2
  3927. Thanks. I've actually been on tv many times!
    2
  3928. I believe they did.
    2
  3929. I'm going to make one.
    2
  3930. I haven't narrated shows, but I have appeared on many tv documentaries as an historian.
    2
  3931. Already have.
    2
  3932. No, sir, I'm afraid I was not pipped to the post - you forget I've made five Falklands War films in the past month!
    2
  3933. Intelligence and sensitive military equipment - they may be Allies but you never know
    2
  3934. I'm afraid you are quite wrong
    2
  3935. I've been looking at this topic on and off for a year - it's intriguing.
    2
  3936. It's in all the history books - it's not secret information!
    2
  3937. In 'Air Force One', Harrison Ford had some kind of space capsule fitted with big parachutes.
    2
  3938. Actually, a Finnish soldier put it out with a fire extinguisher and was awarded a German medal for his quick reaction.
    2
  3939. It is not secret information - Baur discussed it in detail in his autobiography, as did von Manstein. Try reading books, you know those paper things, it will prove to be very educational!
    2
  3940. Me too!
    2
  3941. Yes, it was caused by heavy breaking. A Finnish soldier ran over with a fire extinguisher and put it out as Hitler exited the aircraft, and was subsequently decorated with a German medal for his quick thinking!
    2
  3942. Thanks, but it's been done by other channels.
    2
  3943. The 'flag' was Hitler's personal standard as head of state and was displayed on every vehicle he rode in, in the same manner as the British Queen has her Royal Standard and the US President his special flag today. It's common practice in most countries, then and now.
    2
  3944. The 1st Polish Independent Airborne Brigade dropped at Arnhem in September 1944, not on D-Day.
    2
  3945. That's the plan!
    2
  3946. Perhaps you might watch the video first, as I show how the Ghost of Kyiv is a propaganda construct.
    2
  3947. Colonel Tomb wasn't a real person either - watch the video and then apologise.
    2
  3948. Watch video before commenting, lest you look like a complete tool!
    2
  3949. Which is exactly what I say in the video you evidently haven't watched!
    2
  3950. Which is exactly what I say in the video you evidently haven't watched!
    2
  3951. Perhaps you might watch the video first, as I show how the Ghost of Kyiv is a propaganda construct.
    2
  3952. Perhaps you might watch the video first, as I show how the Ghost of Kyiv is a propaganda construct.
    2
  3953. Which is exactly what I say in the video you haven't watched!
    2
  3954. Which is what I say in the video you haven't watched!
    2
  3955. Perhaps you might watch the video first, as I show how the Ghost of Kyiv is a propaganda construct. And then apologise to me!
    2
  3956. Watch video before commenting
    2
  3957. Yes. Unless they refuse them. Incidentally, Theresa May is now Lady May as her husband was recently knighted.
    2
  3958. In due course, he will become Sir Gordon Brown, unless he refuses the honour.
    2
  3959. Yes, eventually.
    2
  3960. I forgot to mention that Blair was given the US Medal of Freedom.
    2
  3961. Many thanks for your kind remarks
    2
  3962. I get asked this a lot lately - I'm mostly using the music already available on iMovie.
    2
  3963. Thanks for watching
    2
  3964. Fury was indeed a rancid fairytale.
    2
  3965. Thank you
    2
  3966. I've heard this from several former British and American guards
    2
  3967. Great! Thanks for watching
    2
  3968. Thank you
    2
  3969. You are very welcome
    2
  3970. He hasn't
    2
  3971. There is (or perhaps was) one preserved at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in the US.
    2
  3972. Perhaps - I've visited the sites when I lived in Shanghai. I'm concerned that my mostly American audience won't be interested.
    2
  3973. No.
    2
  3974. It was a truck, not an armoured vehicle.
    2
  3975. Not as far as I know.
    2
  3976. You don't know what you are talking about. Drawing out the Luftwaffe for a major showdown was the original concept, plus making a landing to test German defences for the big show 2 years later.
    2
  3977. Allegedly
    2
  3978. I think you might want to consult some history books
    2
  3979. Current fad for intelligence related stories involving Ian Fleming - its debatable and unproven (as yet)
    2
  3980. Not quite - the Canadian government volunteered them.
    2
  3981. Thanks - I am just one man!
    2
  3982. Unproven story
    2
  3983. Don't believe everything you see on TV - over-hyped twaddle
    2
  3984. The Canadian PM volunteered them for this operation.
    2
  3985. My paternal grandfather fought at Kohima
    2
  3986. Churchill liked mavericks, and he wanted to get close to the Royal Family - hence, minor royal Mountbatten ticked both boxes. He did do well in Burma, raising 14th Army's profile and morale a lot. And he was strongly in favour of hanging Emperor Hirohito, so he wasn't all bad!
    2
  3987. That theory has been extensively challenged.
    2
  3988. I've spent time in Canada - great country and lovely people!
    2
  3989. The Enigma theory has been challenged by top historians - I decided to leave it out.
    2
  3990. Thanks for saying so
    2
  3991. It's tongue in cheek and not meant to be taken seriously
    2
  3992. Thank you
    2
  3993. Indeed I did - thanks for watching
    2
  3994. make shoes
    2
  3995. Thank you
    2
  3996. Makes you wonder
    2
  3997. S-Sugar - That's right. Crewman seen inside a turret if memory serves me.
    2
  3998. Thanks for your very kind comments - and for taking the time to watch.
    2
  3999. To all who have criticised this video, it was a Halloween special from 2018, and deliberately tongue in cheek. Let's all calm down
    2
  4000. Thanks very much - mission accomplished
    2
  4001. I will
    2
  4002. Creepy!
    2
  4003. Thanks. I've written about the I-400 class boats in my book The Fujita Plan.
    2
  4004. Thanks
    2
  4005. I do my best! Thanks for watching
    2
  4006. Thanks for watching
    2
  4007. It is random and absolutely nothing to do with me.
    2
  4008. I did.
    2
  4009. You learn something every day...
    2
  4010. I believe they are the last remnants of our empire in France
    2
  4011. I said second from the right!
    2
  4012. Sterling - it was used as the basis for the Star Wars blaster.
    2
  4013. The Garand's successor, the M-14 is still used, so I guess it lives on
    2
  4014. Welcome aboard!
    2
  4015. Already have.
    2
  4016. So nice of you to tell me.
    2
  4017. Police are not military.
    2
  4018. ??
    2
  4019. ?
    2
  4020. In that case, all civilians in the UK during 1940-41 deserve an award, but they didn't receive them.
    2
  4021. He had three medals - one for WW1, and two reserve service awards.
    2
  4022. Penny Mordaunt?
    2
  4023. Blast, and there I am a grizzled veteran of the Air Training Corps. No honorary wings for me!
    2
  4024. Rational response, as predicted.
    2
  4025. Majority US audience - expression in quotation marks!
    2
  4026. You'd be surprised.
    2
  4027. US audience, US term, British quotation marks.
    2
  4028. Al Capone?
    2
  4029. He did wear it, but kept telling people he didn't deserve it. He wore it on his medal bar 'till his death in 1972.
    2
  4030. Actually, his finances were not so transparent as you make out.
    2
  4031. Planning to.
    2
  4032. It was, according to my grandfather who fought up and down it with the Suffolk Regiment. A terrible place fighting a terrible enemy. Disease was the biggest problem.
    2
  4033. When I visited it, the church across the road was using it to store coffins in!
    2
  4034. Historians believe they derived it from right-wing English writer Houston Stuart Chamberlain, a big influence on Adolf, which might tell you something about William Patrick Hitler.
    2
  4035. Alois Hitler Jr. obviously spoke English as he was working in Dublin, London and Liverpool.
    2
  4036. He was called Hitler when he served in the US Navy.
    2
  4037. Adolf's father was born illegitimate, using his mother's surname 'Schickelgruber' until she married and her new husband, surname 'Hitler', adopted Alois. Many historians think that the stepfather was actually Alois' biological father.
    2
  4038. Yes, the omnibus edition!
    2
  4039. No evidence for that. Just an unsubstantiated rumour probably begun by the Soviets are part of their early smear campaign against the Western Allies.
    2
  4040. The only film was taken in March - so I used it!
    2
  4041. Thanks for the sub!
    2
  4042. What do the rest of you think? Shall I change it?
    2
  4043. Thank you so much 😀
    2
  4044. YouTube rules state that swastikas can't be shown on the video thumbnail. However, everything is restored in the video itself.
    2
  4045. I was referring to the respect which the medal was held in by soldiers, and not a direct numbers comparison.
    2
  4046. I have lectured on WWII for years!
    2
  4047. Actually, it's Women's History Month!
    2
  4048. Obviously haven't watched the video before typing.
    2
  4049. Yes, I was referring to the actual medal not the symbol.
    2
  4050. Thanks, you too!
    2
  4051. Has a passing resemblance from that angle.
    2
  4052. C-47
    2
  4053. We certainly know that the assassination attempts on Ford and Reagan, the subject of this video, were attempts by lone killers. Unless you have evidence to the contrary?
    2
  4054. You obviously missed the question mark in the video title.
    2
  4055. Thanks
    2
  4056. Thanks
    2
  4057. I'm hoping that you are right!
    2
  4058. Many thanks - I'm very interested in East Germany
    2
  4059. They look familiar
    2
  4060. My pleasure
    2
  4061. That's a bit worrying, though it underlines what I said about the NVA being more on the ball than the Bundeswehr
    2
  4062. Glad to hear it!
    2
  4063. Thanks. Greeting from Norwich!
    2
  4064. Thanks
    2
  4065. You are thinking of my video about the NASA King Tiger.
    2
  4066. Yes, a Soyuz mission I believe.
    2
  4067. Thanks
    2
  4068. YouTube removed it some time ago, so as I'd worked hard making it, I have put it back on slightly edited!
    2
  4069. She did.
    2
  4070. Look online - there are plenty of versions of these scenes.
    2
  4071. It was secret until 1968, which is what I clearly state in the video.
    2
  4072. Hunter video coming soon - and a very surprising video at that!
    2
  4073. Coningsby is in Lincolnshire, a county on England's east coast. Try looking at a map.
    2
  4074. I've always liked it
    2
  4075. They do - over Alaska
    2
  4076. Its not called the 'English' Channel for nothing, you know!
    2
  4077. Sadly, the last flying Vulcan has now been grounded. An airshow favourite of mine back in the '80s.
    2
  4078. I thought I explained that one - the military jump smock was to protect their civilian clothing from damage and to ensure they didn't snag parachute lines etc.
    2
  4079. There are plenty of books all about those subjects.
    2
  4080. I expect some of this equipment may still exist buried in a hedgerow or old ditch.
    2
  4081. No - aircrew. Baled out of a perfectly serviceable Me 110 in Luftwaffe uniform, with a flight suit over his uniform and wearing a leather flying helmet and goggles.
    2
  4082. No, they were carrying espionage equipment and false IDs etc. The military equipment was to protect their civilian clothing and heads during the rigours of aerial transit and the jump.
    2
  4083. In this case BEGAFILM and the US National Archives.
    2
  4084. Maybe I should do some Capone or Mafia videos - it's a subject I love!
    2
  4085. Thanks for subbing!
    2
  4086. As I mentioned, there was no organised plot to kill Churchill in Baltimore, just a lone gunman with unknown reasons of his own. You can't forward plan or anticipate such actions and can only rely on eagle-eyed agents on the spot at the moment of attack.
    2
  4087. Peasants
    2
  4088. There will be a Christmas Special - its a tradition
    2
  4089. Thanks for staying the course!
    2
  4090. Yes. I've made a video about it.
    2
  4091. I think it would be extremely difficult to ever come up with accurate figures.
    2
  4092. Hello!
    2
  4093. I did a video about these forces years ago
    2
  4094. Glad you enjoyed it
    2
  4095. You should really read more widely.
    2
  4096. There will be several more as we move forward into the wider Normandy campaign - and let's not also forget Operation Dragoon!
    2
  4097. Thank you kindly!
    2
  4098. Will do - I'm working towards it through the Normandy highlights.
    2
  4099. I still give public talks occasionally, but now I'm a full-time author and YouTuber.
    2
  4100. Others are far more knowledgeable than I, particularly Americans who can actually own and shoot these weapons, unlike us in England who can barely own an air rifle!
    2
  4101. A battle group of the 21st Panzer Division managed to reach the coast as the troops were landing, but had no support and pulled back. By the time other panzer divisions had reached the area of Caen, the Allies had linked their beaches together and landed huge numbers of men and armour. The German policy was containment rather than attack, though Hitler did order an armoured thrust in August towards Mortain, but it failed because the panzer divisions had been badly worn down by constant combat with the British and Canadians, and the operation failed.
    2
  4102. Sea monsters
    2
  4103. You should read my book 'Castle of the Eagles' - the two main characters were New Zealand brigadiers.
    2
  4104. And a great episode it was!
    2
  4105. Thanks for the info!
    2
  4106. It was the single most important event of the past century and we live with the results today. Why would anyone not be?
    2
  4107. More to come!
    2
  4108. Hilarious
    2
  4109. I may do - it is interesting
    2
  4110. The German pronunciation of Eva sounds more like 'Ayva', which is what I said.
    2
  4111. Wow, thank you!
    2
  4112. Compass
    2
  4113. I dealt with the U-boat Archive when I wrote my very first book, Yanagi, back in 2004-05 and it was a very useful organisation.
    2
  4114. Most of it was already sunk or wrecked by May 1945.
    2
  4115. Look up 'nuclear torpedoes' - they were all the rage in the Cold War. I believe nuclear depth charges were also created.
    2
  4116. 1937
    2
  4117. He was captured along with Himmler.
    2
  4118. YouTube rule for thumbnails
    2
  4119. Better watch my video about that lie.
    2
  4120. Yes, he was 165cm.
    2
  4121. He was right handed.
    2
  4122. That's the spirit!
    2
  4123. Alive I should have added
    2
  4124. Mussolini, Churchill and De Gaulle
    2
  4125. Imposter!
    2
  4126. There was a certain abruptness to it!
    2
  4127. I've seen his WW1 enlistment records - it is quite clear.
    2
  4128. They certainly have an area in the garden with a shrine to perpetuate the memory of the Kempeitai, Japan's Gestapo. Fairly gob-smacking moment when I saw that.
    2
  4129. I had steam coming out my ears when I stood in that museum!
    2
  4130. Correct, and the Norwegian government is not impressed!
    2
  4131. Well spotted!
    2
  4132. I've already made a video about that.
    2
  4133. British understatement - I can't help it.
    2
  4134. Blast - missed that one when I was in Nagoya a few years ago!
    2
  4135. Happy birthday!
    2
  4136. I think he was fairly well oiled most of the time, rather like the plane!
    2
  4137. You are very welcome
    2
  4138. Jolly good show!
    2
  4139. Ugly but roomy! Bit like Churchill himself
    2
  4140. Churchill never ceases to amaze.
    2
  4141. Actually, I found the refurbished IWM in London to be awful. All the interesting exhibits have been removed. Better bet is Duxford, particularly the Land Warfare Hall, or the RAF Museum at Hendon.
    2
  4142. The flag is the Swiss National Front. You can the info online.
    2
  4143. It was the Swiss National Front flag - look it up.
    2
  4144. What are you complaining about? You get to watch my stuff for free.
    2
  4145. I thought people who are interested in this subject would be happy to see a book written about it. I spent 18 months researching and writing it and wanted to give my subscribers something more meaty and in-depth than a short video, but calculated that a short video might be the way to get people hooked on finding out what happens. I am very shocked and disheartened by your strong reaction to what was meant to be something appealing.  I guess this means I'm off your Christmas card list? Oh well, I'll survive.
    2
  4146. I'm going to be releasing a series of short audio books quite soon (currently writing and recording), which I hope my fans are going to enjoy!
    2
  4147. They were already dead when the other survivors were rescued, and were set adrift.
    2
  4148. The Californian's wireless operator went off duty about 15 minutes before Titanic started sending distress signals. Officers observed Titanic's distress rockets from 10 miles away, but Captain Lord chose not to do anything, saying they were probably company signals. Titanic's lifeboats were not filled the capacity because the officers feared they might buckle under the weight. No one had told them that the boats were strong enough to be launched at full capacity.
    2
  4149. You evidently haven't listened to my multi-episode series on The Opium Wars.
    2
  4150. They did - Clifton James
    2
  4151. So did my grandfather!
    2
  4152. It's an old French word derived from "Vice-Count".
    2
  4153. Lots of the other cars are held at the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace, including the State Bentley. The ones at Sandringham are all now retired.
    2
  4154. I'll consider all requests and do some research
    2
  4155. I will be
    2
  4156. Many thanks
    2
  4157. And more you shall have!
    2
  4158. Many thanks for your support
    2
  4159. High praise indeed!
    2
  4160. Very kind, but I'm not that CoD2 guy. Glad you are enjoying the vids
    2
  4161. One of the "originals" - I think I'd better commission some sort of badge? Thanks for your continuing support
    2
  4162. Much obliged
    2
  4163. Thanks for watching
    2
  4164. Very kind of you to say - thanks for your support of my channel
    2
  4165. Indeed - thanks for watching
    2
  4166. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
    2
  4167. A pleasure
    2
  4168. Many thanks - very kind
    2
  4169. Happy birthday!
    2
  4170. I'm 46, but I have been studying these subjects for over 30 years!
    2
  4171. "It's not what you know, it's who you know."
    2
  4172. You can't be serious.
    2
  4173. I am indeed related to the army officer John Felton who assassinated the 1st Duke of Buckingham in 1628.
    2
  4174. The German royal family sold everything the British saved for them at a Sotheby's auction a few years ago.
    2
  4175. It's wet - fires won't take
    2
  4176. Correct - its obsolete calibre so no cert. required.
    2
  4177. Ha ha
    2
  4178. Constantly, and it's always very nice.
    2
  4179. Come over and see
    2
  4180. Perhaps
    2
  4181. As a keen shooter, I can tell you that we have plenty of gun shops in Britain.
    2
  4182. Thanks
    2
  4183. That's an image I'm having trouble clearing from my head!
    2
  4184. The Dublin Blitz.
    2
  4185. No database as far as I know - perhaps someone could create one in concert with the charity that owns them?
    2
  4186. It's been done recently by another channel.
    2
  4187. German mines have washed up on the US East Coast.
    2
  4188. I will have to visit once the present unpleasantness has passed, as its not too far away from me.
    2
  4189. You may now that you know what to look for.
    2
  4190. Blast, I muddled up contact and magnetic mines!
    2
  4191. No.
    2
  4192. I've been in many documentaries, but not as a narrator.
    2
  4193. Generaloberst in German
    2
  4194. Welcome!!
    2
  4195. Already made such a video.
    2
  4196. Perhaps
    2
  4197. Hopefully, now they will.
    2
  4198. I've made several videos about Japanese holdouts.
    2
  4199. Tally bally ho!
    2
  4200. Actually, the Canadians were wearing US M1 helmets for this operation instead of their usual British-style Brodie helmets, whereas many rear echelon US units were still wearing the American WW1 Brodie. Confusing!
    2
  4201. I do - it's called Mark Felton Productions!
    2
  4202. The Third Reich and Imperial Japan are my specialist fields as an historian. I written about both extensively and also lecture on these topics.
    2
  4203. Thanks for the sub!
    2
  4204. Any large group would have been slaughtered by Soviet artillery, aircraft and tanks out on the exposed Russian steppes.
    2
  4205. My students used to say that to me all the time when I lectured in China!
    2
  4206. Yes - it takes 25 minutes.
    2
  4207. Stay safe!
    2
  4208. Many people are very surprised by this, I find.
    2
  4209. Merci!
    2
  4210. It's called 'The Felton March'
    2
  4211. My pleasure!
    2
  4212. And we abandoned them again in 1945.
    2
  4213. Not yet - but my books are available in the US in bookshops
    2
  4214. Blitzkrieg is the commonly accepted description used in mainstream culture. I'm not making a film that requires me to stop and explain every single expression or concept.
    2
  4215. Some time yet
    2
  4216. I've written 22!
    2
  4217. I've already made a video about that subject.
    2
  4218. Hitler's corpse was noted as charred all over, with some of the extremities burned away (feet, lower limbs, hands). The internal organs were intact and not particularly damaged. The teeth and gold bridgework was intact inside the mouth. The fire had not been hot enough or burned long enough to completely consume a human body under open air conditions.
    2
  4219. It didn't - only parts of Hitler's body were turned to ash, according to the autopsy report that I have.
    2
  4220. No, sir, check your facts. It is completely accurate, if a little uncomfortable to discover.
    2
  4221. Grow up
    2
  4222. Judging by the thousands of comments to the contrary, are you calling my subscribers and viewers 'idiots'?
    2
  4223. I believe that was also the argument for keeping slavery.
    2
  4224. They relied on published figures from the Royal Household and the two Duchies, as I did - how is that inaccurate reporting? Just look at what is freely available and you will see.
    2
  4225. I showed no disrespect to Britain's war dead - which included members of my own family. I spent years running the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal among the expat community in Eastern China, raising large sums for British veterans. I think your comment is disgraceful and inaccurate.
    2
  4226. If you like my work, please consider subscribing.
    2
  4227. That was indeed part of the argument for not killing him. Don't forget, the plotters against Hitler in the German Army were not planning a liberal democracy if they killed Hitler - they were planning a military government that would have run the war more efficiently and effectively. They intended a truce with the Western Allies and a continuation of the war in the East. Hitler's hamfisted command decisions were definitely aiding the Allies by 1944.
    2
  4228. Yes, I'm over 100 years old, but surprisingly computer literate!
    2
  4229. Off the top of head, I think 4, but I'll have to check the book I wrote about this in 2005.
    2
  4230. Not really my channel's genre. But there will be the 'odd' video every so often on some strange event etc.
    2
  4231. Stomach cramps caused by nervous tension
    2
  4232. I believe the people searching for the planes were looking in the wrong place. Wasn't there also a story of buried FW190s in Turkey?
    2
  4233. Reading
    2
  4234. I made a video about that unit and its hunt for Nazi atomic secrets.
    2
  4235. The Germans had already surrendered in Northern Italy.
    2
  4236. I also do mind reading!
    2
  4237. Thanks for the additional information - fascinating stuff!
    2
  4238. Not quite. The Allies tried to explain Italian military defeats as a product of Italians being bad at fighting - I explained that Italians were excellent soldiers but let down by their leaders, training and equipment. There is a big difference. Perhaps my argument is too nuanced for you?
    2
  4239. Even Mussolini? I doubt it!
    2
  4240. The naval gunfire would have stripped away any escorting infantry.
    2
  4241. Erwin in German is pronounced "Air Vin"
    2
  4242. Just an observation. Historians are allowed to speculate - it's on the job description.
    2
  4243. I'm not a 'Boomer' you cheeky sod - I was born in the 1970s!
    2
  4244. Much appreciated!
    2
  4245. I have and I expect I will!
    2
  4246. Don't worry, I won't.
    2
  4247. Many thanks - it would be great if you would consider supporting me on Patreon for only $1 a month: https://www.patreon.com/markfeltonproductions
    2
  4248. You are very kind - it helps that viewers like you support me through Patreon as some of the videos are not monetised by YouTube.
    2
  4249. Sorry, I didn't quite catch that, which country did you say?
    2
  4250. Good one
    2
  4251. My forthcoming book 'All Americans' has characters from the 106th and 28th Infantry Divisions in the Ardennes and as POWs.
    2
  4252. It is! I was doing research for my recent book Ghost Riders
    2
  4253. Footage problem!
    2
  4254. No. You are thinking of Hiroo Onoda in a different part of the Philippines.
    2
  4255. Thanks
    2
  4256. Thanks for watching
    2
  4257. Well, I am English!
    2
  4258. Thanks for your support
    2
  4259. Thanks for watching
    2
  4260. And I love that you watch them.
    2
  4261. Not sure if I can manage daily, but I'm trying! Thanks for watching
    2
  4262. Thank you
    2
  4263. Much appreciated!
    2
  4264. Yes, its fairly hair raising stuff.
    2
  4265. Expect more in the future - there's some great Soviet stories waiting for the treatment!
    2
  4266. You're not wrong!
    2
  4267. First Roman capital of Britain.
    2
  4268. Thanks for the heads-up. I've sorted it out.
    2
  4269. This video was limited to Wehrmacht generals who served in the Bundeswehr. Hartmann wasn't a general in WWII.
    2
  4270. He wasn’t Bundeswehr but ran West German intelligence
    2
  4271. They kept their WW2 decorations, but could only wear the 1957 versions on their uniforms. Many also had WW1 Iron Crosses, and wore those with no problems.
    2
  4272. Hitler was the supreme commander of the Wehrmacht from 1941 onwards, controlling both OKH and OKW and additionally all German soldiers had sworn a personal oath of allegiance to him and not the German state - so on those grounds I stand by my title!
    2
  4273. Yes
    2
  4274. They were. There is plenty of documentary evidence for this. Waffen-SS officers were rejected, for example.
    2
  4275. See pinned comment!
    2
  4276. The Bundesheer is also the army of Germany, whereas the Bundeswehr is the entire armed forces.
    2
  4277. I can guarantee that was the first thing that popped into a British soldier's mind when he saw that man. Second thought was probably wondering what he did in the recent unpleasantness. Correct me if I'm wrong chaps?
    2
  4278. Lighten up!
    2
  4279. See pinned comment!
    2
  4280. A friendly invasion
    2
  4281. See pinned comment!
    2
  4282. See pinned comment!
    2
  4283. I read that historian Mr. Rimmer was granted a licence by the Welsh Government to recover the wreck in partnership with TIGHAR.
    2
  4284. Go to the TIGHAR link in the description, they have photos of Elliott.
    2
  4285. I used that term later in the video.
    2
  4286. Yes
    2
  4287. The war between China and Japan only involved 2 nations, and not many across the globe as happened after 3 September 1939 when the British and French Empires declared war on Germany.
    2
  4288. Only if you don't understand commas.
    2
  4289. Says the keyboard warrior!
    2
  4290. And wore M35 steel helmets!
    2
  4291. I did - slip of the tongue
    2
  4292. 40% of my audience are Americans.
    2
  4293. Already have long ago.
    2
  4294. Probably the next one as I'm working on it at the moment.
    2
  4295. You could check out my own documentary on this subject!
    2
  4296. You got to watch my programme for free, didn't you?
    2
  4297. Christ!
    2
  4298. But he does have a striking physical resemblance to President Trump!
    2
  4299. An insult and a compliment all in one comment - a good day!
    2
  4300. I'm an Anglo-Saxon.
    2
  4301. It can be pronounced either way - depending on the German region. Apparently, I've picked up a Saxon accent!
    2
  4302. I do speak some.
    2
  4303. Actually, several made it out of the cordon, including Gunther Schwagermann (Goebbels's adjutant) and the aforementioned Artur Axmann, plus Hitler's two secretaries.
    2
  4304. I really couldn't decide with this one - it's a case of 50/50.
    2
  4305. Argentina benefitted enormously from vast sums of Nazi wealth that was transferred in the last months of the war - it bought a lot of friends among the government.
    2
  4306. Yes, I misspoke!
    2
  4307. I've tried that - what I get is a deluge of criticism from those who prefer Imperial or Metric or vice versa. This way pleases everyone.
    2
  4308. Yup
    2
  4309. Yes, but Clement Attlee was PM by this time.
    2
  4310. A 'z' in German is pronounced like an 's' in English, and vice versa.
    2
  4311. Rogue Male?
    2
  4312. There are very extensive bunkers beneath the buildings plus the Germans would fill the valley with dense smoke and there were plenty of flak guns. Hitler would have gone underground and survived.
    2
  4313. I've been - excellent place, and I used to have a photo of that very Luger but couldn't find it for the video!
    2
  4314. Thank you for such kind comments. My best wishes to you and your family. Happy Halloween!
    2
  4315. Same to you!
    2
  4316. There was also one the year before that about the haunted Avro Lincoln at Cosford!
    2
  4317. Well, I did say that other investigations have suggested deaths as high as 22,000, so I guess its somewhere in between those two figures.
    2
  4318. Precisely.
    2
  4319. Can't say I enjoy the French language.
    2
  4320. No, I made on about the Battle of Attu
    2
  4321. I outlined the dental evidence in detail in Ep. 4. You can also find this discussed in the several of the books I list in my sources.
    2
  4322. Thanks
    2
  4323. Thanks for watching
    2
  4324. Thanks for watching
    2
  4325. Thanks
    2
  4326. I never said they should.
    2
  4327. Already have
    2
  4328. Indeed
    1
  4329. I suspect you are right.
    1
  4330. They had carefully husbanded enough fuel for 10,000 Kamikaze missions. They had been preparing for this battle for months. You should really read up on this - its not a state secret.
    1
  4331. The decision not to prosecute Hirohito was taken AFTER the Japanese surrender, not before.
    1
  4332. They have been liberated.
    1
  4333. Welcome!
    1
  4334. You are referring to Henry Stimson lobbying to remove Kyoto from the target list. He took his honeymoon in Kyoto many years before.
    1
  4335. The Japanese deliberately dispersed their war industries into civilian cities to cynically try and dissuade bombing. It didn't work.
    1
  4336. They did surrender unconditionally!
    1
  4337. You have totally ignored the fact that millions of Japanese troops were garrisoning vast areas of Southeast Asia and China at this time, and in no mood to simply surrender. Blockading mainland Japan would not have prevented Japanese armies fighting on all over Asia for years.
    1
  4338. If you understand the Japanese military mindset of 1945, it's not that surprising.
    1
  4339. It was the headquarter of the Japanese area army defending the southern part of the nation, and also contained a garrison of 20,000 Japanese troops in various barracks and depots.
    1
  4340. An honour indeed, but taken with a fist full of salt!
    1
  4341. They surrendered with this undecided by the Allies. It was subsequently determined by General MacArthur and his team.
    1
  4342. Then the war would have dragged on to 1947-48, or longer.
    1
  4343. Redundancies would follow...
    1
  4344. Try reading a bit before ranting
    1
  4345. I thought it killed two people in total?
    1
  4346. Yes, you are actually watching hundreds of thousands of people dying.
    1
  4347. Henry Stimson saved it - he'd honeymooned there. I'm glad he - its my favourite Japanese city too!
    1
  4348. Excellent!
    1
  4349. I had a great time in Tokyo many years ago!
    1
  4350. It should be encouraged in my opinion!
    1
  4351. Actually, it was news anchor Walter Winchell that led a campaign against her.
    1
  4352. It did.
    1
  4353. Yes, they are.
    1
  4354. No, I don't - just a video about the tank battle at Offendorf.
    1
  4355. No, 'Wacht am Rhein' was the original cover codename that was changed by Hitler to 'Herbstnebel' - try reading books before commenting.
    1
  4356. Already done
    1
  4357. Those are Italian police uniforms - look more closely!
    1
  4358. Nope

  4359. Try subscribing before issuing orders!
    1
  4360. Thanks
    1
  4361. Welcome aboard
    1
  4362. I didn't make the term up - its been well reported in multiple sources.
    1
  4363. Already have a video on this subject from 2018
    1
  4364. I think the guy was joking around for the camera - they were all US soldiers.
    1
  4365. Wasn't me shooting
    1
  4366. Wasn't me shooting
    1
  4367. Same to you!
    1
  4368. Happy new year!
    1
  4369. German wartime helicopters were fairly basic and would have attracted a lot of ground fire. The single rotor ones also had very limited range. Nice idea, but I don't think the Germans ever considered such a plan.
    1
  4370. Thanks for the head's up!
    1
  4371. For the record, YouTube creators have no control over the content of adverts that appear in concert with their videos, so cut the insults.
    1
  4372. Not voice - but looks - they look very similar
    1
  4373. I made a video about British Junkers 52 airliners.
    1
  4374. I changed it!
    1
  4375. A happy customer - I am pleased
    1
  4376. I've seen that programme - interesting theory
    1
  4377. Thank you sir
    1
  4378. Not mine unfortunately
    1
  4379. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  4380. A pleasure
    1
  4381. Thanks
    1
  4382. No.
    1
  4383. Many thanks

  4384. Thanks

  4385. Thanks
    1
  4386. Thank you

  4387. Pleasure
    1
  4388. Many thanks - some fan suggestions have led to videos
    1
  4389. Many thanks
    1
  4390. Many thanks
    1
  4391. Thanks - I was last in Bastogne about 10 years ago, though I rove about the Ardennes region once in a while.
    1
  4392. Thanks
    1
  4393. Many thanks
    1
  4394. Its certainly very gratifying

  4400. Thanks, I've seen this programme.
    1
  4401. Many thanks
    1
  4402. A pleasure sir
    1
  4403. Its in the description box
    1
  4404. Thanks! 😄
    1
  4405. Thanks 👍
    1
  4406. I have done videos on those subjects.
    1
  4407. You are very welcome
    1
  4408. I walked out of that film after 20 minutes - I would recommend the 1958 John Mills film of the same name. Quite excellent.
    1
  4409. He received the German Cross in Gold in September 1944, presumably for actions in the Pas de Calais area.
    1
  4410. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  4411. Welcome aboard!
    1
  4412. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  4413. Wow! That's twice in a month.
    1
  4414. I suspect that you are right - either that or complete morons.
    1
  4415. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  4416. I think you can probably work that one out yourself.
    1
  4417. Already made 3 videos about Japanese Holdouts.
    1
  4418. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  4419. I completely concur!
    1
  4420. Jog on!
    1
  4421. More to come!
    1
  4422. That's a different German operation - sometimes the names were recycled. The reason why you won't find much about the 1945 operation is that no other historian has bothered to look at it.
    1
  4423. Already done 2 years ago.
    1
  4424. Thank you very much!
    1
  4425. German naval forces were still operating, largely by night, from bases in the Netherlands, as well as some patrol boats from the other channel ports still under German control.
    1
  4426. Wow, thanks!
    1
  4427. Thanks - I recently turned 46, but I think I've been studying WWII for at least 35 years or longer!
    1
  4428. Thank you kindly!
    1
  4429. Glad you like them!
    1
  4430. They had deep bunkers and gun emplacements. It wouldn't have worked.
    1
  4431. Thanks again!
    1
  4432. I try
    1
  4433. I don't control the adverts.
    1
  4434. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  4435. I've spoken to Swiss who remembered seeing German troop trains passing through in the night. Maybe they were wrong?
    1
  4436. Thanks - I remembered Pancho Villa shortly after making the video live and could have kicked myself!
    1
  4437. My pleasure!
    1
  4438. An invisible aircraft
    1
  4439. Appreciate that
    1
  4440. I should remind you that most highly decorated US infantry unit in the European campaign was composed of Japanese-Americans. Put the fear of god into the Germans.
    1
  4441. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  4442. Glad you liked it!
    1
  4443. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  4444. Japanese submarines could manage 12,000 miles without refuelling.
    1
  4445. The image isn't fake - the object in the lights was doctored to make it appear from like a classic flying saucer.
    1
  4446. Actually, it was by Japanese Navy pilot Chief Warrant Officer Nobuo Fujita and his observer who bombed Oregon twice in 1942!
    1
  4447. My pleasure!
    1
  4448. Much appreciated
    1
  4449. Thanks for supporting me
    1
  4450. Its a possibility. Some sources say that Hitler asked his adjutant to administer a coup de grace to his corpse, suggesting that he took cyanide. Its all highly speculative of course, and we will probably never know the truth of what occurred in the bunker.
    1
  4451. It's a video game, not real.
    1
  4452. No, it was an advert for a computer game - there is great deal of difference!
    1
  4453. The emphasis is on 'game' - not reality. Perspective.
    1
  4454. The end screen
    1
  4455. I do, all the time, and it's a real honour for me to meet the kind followers of my work and to be able to thank them in person.
    1
  4456. Slip of the tongue
    1
  4457. Wow, thanks!
    1
  4458. Our 'powerful air defences' failed several times to protect destroyers and frigates from aerial attack during the landing phase, and ships were sunk. I think the Argentine air group could have given us a nasty surprise.
    1
  4459. Thanks. Another Falklands video will be coming along in a few weeks.
    1
  4460. You are right on the first point, and possibly on the second!
    1
  4461. I do - I was 9 when it happened and vividly remember the news reports. It also interests me as we were fighting another proper military force rather than insurgents with AKs.
    1
  4462. Upgrades.
    1
  4463. Interestingly, some of the Argentine ships from 1982 are still in service today. This is not the case with the UK - also, the Falklands are fully garrisoned with fighters, troops and naval vessels.
    1
  4464. Cool, thanks!
    1
  4465. The documentary deals with one specific subject - you can find plenty of documentaries about the entire conflict on the history channels on tv.
    1
  4466. Well, one of our current nuclear missile armed subs is called HMS Vengeance, which is somewhat appropriate.
    1
  4467. Outside the scope of the video - its not a 'history of the Falklands War'.
    1
  4468. No - still in use today. Very useful
    1
  4469. I suggest you read some history - we have 14 overseas possession - the remains of our Empire. America has 5.
    1
  4470. Social distance, old chap, social distance!
    1
  4471. We've always flogged our old warships to Chile, India etc.
    1
  4472. HMS Hermes departed Portsmouth with 12 Sea Harriers and Invincible with 8, all from RNAS Yeovilton. Two more Sea Harriers joined Invincible as she steamed down the English Channel - total 22. Source - Battle of the Falklands (3) Air Power by Roy Braybrook (Osprey: 1982), pg. 12.
    1
  4473. Me too!
    1
  4474. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  4475. We have missed several opportunities to purchase back old WWII carriers - lost opportunities.
    1
  4476. I have made several Falklands videos, do check out the programme lists.
    1
  4477. I think so - we now have more subs in storage than actually serving the Fleet!
    1
  4478. Well, the French helped by supplying Argentina with Exocet missiles and technicians that resulted in British ships being sunk!
    1
  4479. It was done to prevent the war spreading to mainland S. America and drawing in other countries.
    1
  4480. It was really about oil - do read up
    1
  4481. I think the Argentines might have seen Vulcans over Buenos Aires.
    1
  4482. Interesting theory
    1
  4483. It is interesting that two of the other men probably 'in the know', Bormann and Heinrich Mueller, both disappeared without trace in 1945.
    1
  4484. We did.
    1
  4485. Pleasure
    1
  4486. Thank you
    1
  4487. Thank you
    1
  4488. Let's hope not!
    1
  4489. The British War Medal 1914-20 was awarded for this action.
    1
  4490. You are very welcome
    1
  4491. Thanks
    1
  4492. My pleasure - thanks for watching
    1
  4493. The tanks were photographed outside Smolensk Cathedral by the Germans before being shipped to Berlin.
    1
  4494. Thanks
    1
  4495. Yes - as you can see when you look at his ribbon bars. Only post-1957 denazified version were allowed.
    1
  4496. After 1957, denazified versions of all German military decorations were available, but not Nazi Party medals.
    1
  4497. I always aim to surprise
    1
  4498. Thanks
    1
  4499. All Allied vehicles from D-Day onwards in NW Europe used the 'Allied Star' - its not American, but a universal symbol.
    1
  4500. Thanks
    1
  4501. I very pleased and thanks for supporting my channel
    1
  4502. No, the Gauleiter of Franconia was Holz, and he took charge of the city defence.
    1
  4503. I did my research thoroughly and I couldn't find any evidence that Churchill reached the lower bunker. His biographers, doctor and his daughter all mentioned that he turned back, probably at the upper bunker. Yes, he exited from the emergency exit, which is a little confusing, but I suspect that it was also connected to a higher staircase as well. Otherwise, I can't explain the differing evidence.
    1
  4504. So rude!
    1
  4505. I doubt it - Churchill died at 90 after a lifetime of smoking and heavy drinking.
    1
  4506. Greetings from Norwich, England.
    1
  4507. I still lecture in history and I'm also the author of 22 books.
    1
  4508. Thanks - I try my best!
    1
  4509. Thank you
    1
  4510. Thanks
    1
  4511. Thank you for watching them
    1
  4512. Great to hear!
    1
  4513. Off to your safe place my friend.
    1
  4514. What's 'anti-Russian' about examining a new missile system and what it's designed to do? You are overly sensitive and reading too much into everything.
    1
  4515. It's in one of the articles listed in the description box.
    1
  4516. I specifically mentioned the submarines twice, including making reference to their ability to hit back at Russia. Rewatch!
    1
  4517. I didn't remove your comment.
    1
  4518. Not at all, I've always covered other conflicts, including WW1, Korea, Vietnam, Falklands.
    1
  4519. Indeed
    1
  4520. It isn't a repost
    1
  4521. See pinned comment

  4522. My last five videos before this one: 1. Secret Soviet Base Scotland 2. The Last MiG-15s Still Serving 2023 3. Al Capone's Pistols 4. Was Hitler Part-Jewish? 5. Mark Felton's Books I could go on...
    1
  4523. Watched that again last week!
    1
  4524. I think if you'd been on HMAS Kuttabul you might disagree!
    1
  4525. I explained very clearly what happened in the Rhine Meadows camps - suggest you rewatch and listen carefully this time.
    1
  4526. The British bugged special interrogation camps in order to gather intel from German POWs, and information about them raping and shooting Soviet women soldiers was recorded in idle conversations in accommodation blocks. Secondly, the German orders to kill these women exist. And old veterans have been interviewed discussing what happened. There is an abundance of evidence, much more than I have mentioned. Do some research yourself.
    1
  4527. I'm 47
    1
  4528. Why would they. We didn’t destroy German ww1 memorials.
    1
  4529. Von Kluge killed himself in 1944 to avoid arrest over the plot to kill Hitler, and von Reichenau died of a heart attack earlier in the war.
    1
  4530. I don’t think German behaviour could be termed “affectionate”!
    1
  4531. Yes, it's very good.
    1
  4532. The Meteor footage I used is almost entirely from ww2 and of the F.1 version.
    1
  4533. No, those are the official figures I was quoting. Imagine if a one ton bomb was detonated in a modern city centre, the damage to windows alone would probably encompass hundreds of buildings for a long way around
    1
  4534. My grandmother said the same thing!
    1
  4535. I didn't say 'destroyed', I said 'damaged and destroyed'. Each V-1 damaged a great many buildings, even smashed windows being counted as 'damaged'. Those are official British Government figures.
    1
  4536. Actually, fossils have a hard time forming in jungle environments.
    1
  4537. Are we to say the same of NVA and Vietcong, who were local boys, familiar with the fauna?
    1
  4538. Glad you liked it!
    1
  4539. I'm working on it!
    1
  4540. It is now
    1
  4541. Thank you very much!
    1
  4542. Then what about the NVA and Vietcong who reported the same?
    1
  4543. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  4544. Many thanks - though my name is Dr. Felton.
    1
  4545. Thank you so much 😀
    1
  4546. My pleasure!
    1
  4547. Very welcome
    1
  4548. But that doesn't explain the reports made by NVA and Vietcong who were very familiar with the local wildlife since birth.
    1
  4549. Many thanks!
    1
  4550. My pleasure!
    1
  4551. Much appreciated
    1
  4552. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  4553. Glad it was helpful!
    1
  4554. I was demonstrating that such animals had existed in the region, along with Orangutan.
    1
  4555. Glad you liked it!
    1
  4556. You're very welcome
    1
  4557. Very welcome
    1
  4558. Thank you kindly!
    1
  4559. Schauberger is widely disputed as a reputable source.
    1
  4560. I never denied the possibility of ufos. I only ruled out the Nazi versions!
    1
  4561. Nope
    1
  4562. Simplification.
    1
  4563. Watch the video before commenting.
    1
  4564. You obviously missed the entire video I made recently on Die Glocke.
    1
  4565. I've made a few already.
    1
  4566. Thanks for subbing!
    1
  4567. I have already.
    1
  4568. No, I'm merely discussing an infamous war crime that involved people of different races. I make no political statements, just statements of fact.
    1
  4569. I've been, and I can confirm its excellent!
    1
  4570. Same to you!
    1
  4571. Not really - Wereth were premeditated and barbaric murders perpetrated by some seriously unpleasant individuals. It was a shocking exception to the treatment usually afforded to US prisoners taken in the Ardennes.
    1
  4572. I merely repeat the various theories about that happened - not my own opinion. I am doing what historians are supposed to do.
    1
  4573. Lazy argument.
    1
  4574. No - watch again and listen
    1
  4575. There is a difference between shooting prisoners and slowly torturing them to death. I would be very surprised if race hadn't played a part in the Wereth 11 murders. What was done was pure premeditated sadism.
    1
  4576. Wow, thank you
    1
  4577. Already have several months ago!
    1
  4578. You could be right, though the Germans took hundreds of American artillerymen prisoner and most ended up in POW camps, not murdered in snowy fields. It would be interesting to hear what a criminal profiler would make of such behaviour.
    1
  4579. My video was not about the Nuremberg Trials. A mountain of material on this subject in many media forms is available to anyone interested or curious.
    1
  4580. Thanks, will do!
    1
  4581. Yes - both of them
    1
  4582. Stock film as not film was taken of this event
    1
  4583. I'm using the commonly-agreed English version of the name - just like Munich.
    1
  4584. Ley in German is pronounced 'Lai'.
    1
  4585. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  4586. General MacArthur protected Hirohito so he could be used as a figurehead to control the Japanese people under American rule. British Far East commander Lord Mountbatten wanted Hirohito tried as a war criminal, as did the Chinese and Soviets. But the realities of the Cold War prevented this, as the US needed Japan as an ally against the spread of communism in Asia.
    1
  4587. The executions of the 11 major war criminals were not filmed. Those films are of the executions of other convicted war criminals.
    1
  4588. War Stories with Mark Felton - series called 'Rat Lines'
    1
  4589. That was the propaganda story, the truth was somewhat different.
    1
  4590. Cremated
    1
  4591. Its not many when you consider how many were serving. There are always a few rotten eggs in every army.
    1
  4592. It was also cremated to maintain the subterfuge.
    1
  4593. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  4594. No, Pierrepoint executed a series of lower-ranking Nazis...concentration camp functionaries and the like.
    1
  4595. I wrote a book about it - The Last Nazis
    1
  4596. Considering they were cremated, no.
    1
  4597. The price was for all 10, and it was a significant sum in 1946.
    1
  4598. Simply stating a fact, old boy
    1
  4599. Now you're just being tedious
    1
  4600. I'd like to know that too!
    1
  4601. They were at the edge of their limits
    1
  4602. All available online
    1
  4603. Made of stern stuff, those monocle wearers
    1
  4604. I'd like to see Bear Grylls use a hanky more often in survival situations - damned useful piece of kit.
    1
  4605. A mixture - using all the real people
    1
  4606. Gaumont British - a news organisation
    1
  4607. Won an Oscar in 1933 - Best Documentary
    1
  4608. It was a mixture of original footage and re-enactments. Worked extremely well.
    1
  4609. A mixture - all the Himalayas footage was the real deal.
    1
  4610. The world was mono in 1933
    1
  4611. Many thanks!
    1
  4612. I was referring to the postwar political settlement when it was given to Stalin.
    1
  4613. This was not a video about ever single Polish unit that fought, but rather an examination of two Polish generals' treatment after the war.
    1
  4614. Don't forget, my video about the Ukrainian SS in Britain was critical of the British government for allowing these men to settle in the UK in 1947.
    1
  4615. SS Skanderbeg
    1
  4616. I made the video about the Ukrainian SS division that mutinied in France.
    1
  4617. As mentioned in the video, I urged viewers to first view my detailed video about the Ukrainian SS, which covers why men joined, before posting comments on this video. You obviously took no notice.
    1
  4618. How many Danish SS memorials are there in Copenhagen?
    1
  4619. Happy Birthday to you both!
    1
  4620. Thanks
    1
  4621. Thanks
    1
  4622. I know that in 1995 there was a scandal in Germany when Nazi markings were discovered on the rifle receivers. They were subsequently ground off. I think these rifles are WWII era or French postwar production. Perhaps someone else can enlighten us?
    1
  4623. I hadn't noticed, but I'll have a look now
    1
  4624. 'No messing about' is my motto!
    1
  4625. Yes, I kept thinking Fawlty Towers!
    1
  4626. Thanks
    1
  4627. Not much - it was only done briefly and the French army didn't want to use them.
    1
  4628. Thanks very much
    1
  4629. I'm pleased you are enjoying the videos
    1
  4630. Second video
    1
  4631. Yes, and I've already done a video about them
    1
  4632. I think my title is perfectly clear, thank you very much
    1
  4633. Done a video on both WW2 subs in Taiwan
    1
  4634. I've done a video about both WW2 Taiwan subs.
    1
  4635. Already covered in a previous video
    1
  4636. Alright, calm down.
    1
  4637. In episode two - watch the video MORE WW2 Warships Still Serving 2019
    1
  4638. Thanks for the info
    1
  4639. Any more details?
    1
  4640. Check out my video on this subject
    1
  4641. I'm terribly sorry - an oversight on my part. I'll add your name to the credits immediately!
    1
  4642. Thank you for watching
    1
  4643. Already covered these subs in a previous video
    1
  4644. A pleasure sir
    1
  4645. Forgot what, exactly?
    1
  4646. I fear that if I was absolutely correct with the German pronunciation of "Panther" (Panta) it would sound as though I was narrating a porn video!
    1
  4647. I assume that they were awarded their medals in the field before 2 May, when Berlin surrendered. I would suggest that the The Iron Cross 2nd Class was at the discretion of the CO to award without reference up the chain of command, as it was the lowest award for gallantry and meritorious service.
    1
  4648. I haven't censored any comments - blame Youtube AI.
    1
  4649. Yes, I think I will!
    1
  4650. A pleasure
    1
  4651. I'm pleased
    1
  4652. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  4653. Pleased to welcome you aboard. Regarding the U-boat, its just a piece of stock footage I used, so I couldn't tell you.
    1
  4654. So nice of you
    1
  4655. It’s on the list already
    1
  4656. They did - super rare machine
    1
  4657. Glad you think so!
    1
  4658. Its a real Spitfire at a German air show.
    1
  4659. Thanks for watching
    1
  4660. He was breathing oxygen through his mouth piece. But still a bit dicey if the oxygen failed. And baling out would have been fun.
    1
  4661. Actually, I'm British
    1
  4662. Glad you think so!
    1
  4663. I know - its not my map
    1
  4664. I know - not my map.
    1
  4665. You should read my latest book Operation Swallow - its all about 28th Infantry units in the Bulge and later German captivity.
    1
  4666. I think a lot of bods ended up leaderless and wandering around waiting for something to happen.
    1
  4667. Utah beach is completely and disgracefully ignored - I think a video in the future is a must.
    1
  4668. But I'd lose my independence!
    1
  4669. 22 to be precise!
    1
  4670. Yes, a lot of the landing craft were Royal Navy that carried the GIs on to the beaches. Ignored today, of course.
    1
  4671. No. But they were at Dunkirk, North Africa, Sicily and Italy.
    1
  4672. You are right
    1
  4673. Well, to be fair, D-Day actually went much better than was expected. Imagine if all the beaches had turned into Omaha.
    1
  4674. I expect I will - it was covered very well in The Longest Day
    1
  4675. No, I'm telling the story of one small group of men, who happened to be British, fighting through the hell of Omaha Beach. I should hope you will withdraw your undeserved criticism of my film and apologise. I might also suggest in future that you watch my videos before sending me messages.
    1
  4676. French, Polish and Czech
    1
  4677. I'm 45, so I'll have to say 'no'.
    1
  4678. Thanks - I was in the studio in London for hours filming the various scenes - I nearly lost my voice!
    1
  4679. I suggest you don't watch my videos if they distress you this much - how about next time I simple film my cat sat in an upturned M1 helmet with the caption 'After much noise and excitement, the Allies won.'
    1
  4680. No, I'm obsessed with trying to find the truth. It's called being a historian.
    1
  4681. Thanks for the info!
    1
  4682. The DNA test was not transparent and is open to some debate, neatly settled when the Germans incinerated all the physical evidence to prevent any further tests.
    1
  4683. Think you'd better do some research concerning that DNA test, and also the alleged 'discovery' of the Bormann remains.
    1
  4684. Thanks
    1
  4685. 10%
    1
  4686. I didn't cover it - I mentioned it in passing in another video.
    1
  4687. You'd think so, but no.
    1
  4688. No, it is a story, about a bomb in Exeter. Not hard to grasp, surely?
    1
  4689. I'd probably get sued!
    1
  4690. Old - and increasingly hard to maintain the airframes, which had seen a lot of hours.
    1
  4691. Amazed
    1
  4692. Indeed I am, because that's how the British pronounce it.
    1
  4693. It's seen as cheaper to buy 'off the shelf' foreign technology than to bother investing in training people in the trades and skills to design and build the things ourselves. A sad indictment of generations of governmental neglect and penny-pinching. The Royal Navy has suffered the same slow death.
    1
  4694. It was largely sold off to foreign interests - much like all of our major industries.
    1
  4695. From the RAF Museum: "The last Lightning interceptor was officially retired from front line service on 30 April 1988."
    1
  4696. Thanks 👍
    1
  4697. Old airframes costing too much to maintain
    1
  4698. I agree - I toured HMS Plymouth in Birkenhead about 20 years ago.
    1
  4699. No, but I've been on the Type XXI in Bremerhaven and of course the one in Birkenhead before they chopped it up.
    1
  4700. Many thanks
    1
  4701. Now that's an idea!
    1
  4702. Thanks - several people have pointed out my geographical error. Sorry about that!
    1
  4703. A pleasure
    1
  4704. Cancer
    1
  4705. It was on a tower a few dozen feet off the ground
    1
  4706. Fifine Technology apparently
    1
  4707. Well, its healthier than other addictions!
    1
  4708. Will do
    1
  4709. The Hamilcars could carry jeeps, small artillery and I think a small type of US tank.
    1
  4710. Yes, and I imagine the pilot was rather injured.
    1
  4711. Good guess....
    1
  4712. Can't say that helps much
    1
  4713. Actually, I have 22!
    1
  4714. SAS

  4715. 301.3km to Story, St. Kilda, Scotland 423.2km to Tory Island, County Donegal, Ireland The maths is self explanatory.

  4718. Description box
    1
  4719. Too kind
    1
  4720. What are you gibbering about? I pronounce Pershing the way it is written. Are you having trouble with my British accent?
    1
  4721. I like Harry's Garage!
    1
  4722. I suggest you consult my many published books about the Holocaust and Japanese war crimes before such a thing!
    1
  4723. That is the name of the craft.
    1
  4724. No, I don't. Look it up.
    1
  4725. Non-battle casualties are counted in military operations - and the NATO build-up along the Ukraine-Russia border is a military operation. So my title is correct.
    1
  4726. Did I put Boeing? Duh! Silly error!
    1
  4727. ~Another may soon become airworthy - "Just Jane" in Lincolnshire
    1
  4728. Thanks
    1
  4729. Cheers
    1
  4730. Precisely!
    1
  4731. Pleasure
    1
  4732. Thanks
    1
  4733. I agree - getting that Vulcan back to flight status could be both a memorial to the Cold War and the Falklands also.
    1
  4734. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  4735. Thanks
    1
  4736. Thanks
    1
  4737. I suggest you engage brain before writing in the comments section - the BBMF is a fully paid up part of the RAF, ergo the aircraft are still serving in the RAF.
    1
  4738. Thank you
    1
  4739. Pleasure
    1
  4740. Thanks
    1

  4744. Thanks
    1
  4745. Thanks
    1
  4746. Thanks
    1
  4747. Yes - we have a shiny new aircraft carrier without any aircraft, so could have come in handy!
    1
  4748. Yes, you can.
    1
  4749. Yes, most still are.
    1
  4750. They must be out of print examples. My in-print editions are all reasonably priced by my various publishers.
    1
  4751. Castle of the Eagles is a favourite of mine.
    1
  4752. All non-fiction.
    1
  4753. Some are now out of print, but most are still available on Amazon
    1
  4754. I was based in the Far East for a decade.
    1
  4755. I only write non-fiction, but my last three are all narrative non-fiction, which may appeal.
    1
  4756. Bit outside of my area and era of expertise!
    1
  4757. Colour Guard at Mark Felton Productions Headquarters.
    1
  4758. Glad I could help
    1
  4759. Accuracy was a problem at that time.
    1
  4760. Canada was and is a member of the Commonwealth - you are confusing this word with Empire, which, incidentally it was also a member of at the time as an self-governing Dominion.
    1
  4761. I know - I filmed it myself!
    1
  4762. If you send me an email at hello@markfelton.co.uk I can send you the original map for your records.
    1
  4763. Couldn't find specific footage - it can be very difficult to do!
    1
  4764. Canada was and is part of the Commonwealth. I've never diminished Canadian involvement in the war - in fact, I'm one of the few historians to consistently discuss Canada's contribution. Better check out my other videos, including the ones all about Canada such as the Canadian paratroopers who captured Wismar and saved Denmark from the Soviets or the Canadian landings at Dieppe etc.
    1
  4765. Its been done many times before.
    1
  4766. The guns fired on to pre-registered targets, so it wouldn't make any difference.
    1
  4767. I doubt it.
    1
  4768. Already done - link in end screen.
    1
  4769. I used to fish off Clacton Pier and ride the amusements when I was a lad.
    1
  4770. The information is there - for example in the histories of 46 and 47 RM Commandos and the naval bombardment instructions for D-Day.
    1
  4771. The Japanese did experiment with both German and captured Allied aircraft. I made a video about their B-17 squadron.
    1
  4772. No, all Allied escapers were wearing their dogtags and their German POW tags - it was murder, ordered by Hitler. It was the only mass shooting of Allied escapers. Normally, they would be arrested, questioned and returned to their camps for a period of solitary confinement. The British did not shoot escaped German POWs who were obviously wearing civilian clothing either. Suggest you read up on this topic more thoroughly.
    1
  4773. French pilot!
    1
  4774. Happy birthday!
    1
  4775. YouTube does not allow swastikas in thumbnails. If I don't edit it, my video will be taken down.
    1
  4776. I used to.
    1
  4777. It is appalling and quite shocking in equal measure.
    1
  4778. My condolences for your loss.
    1
  4779. A 120kg explosive device, as reported by Croatia.
    1
  4780. I clearly demonstrated impartiality - the Ukrainian drone has been reported as an accident, the Orlan-10 in Romania could be an accident, the two that entered Hungary then went back into Ukraine before being intercepted were clearly under intelligent control and logically must have been on missions and its been strongly suggested they were Russian, and I provide evidence from the Ukraine military that they observed a Russian Orlan-10 enter Poland (NATO) and return. What other explanations are there for these individual cases?
    1
  4781. ??????
    1
  4782. The Croatian government spokesman reported a 120kg explosive device.
    1
  4783. See my pinned comment
    1
  4784. What are you on about?
    1
  4785. Croatian government reported that the drone had a 120kg explosive charge.
    1
  4786. See my pinned comment
    1
  4787. ?????
    1
  4788. I think you are right
    1
  4789. Thanks
    1
  4790. I will be
    1
  4791. A pleasure
    1
  4792. Thanks for watching
    1
  4793. Many thanks - I will be doing some British videos re the advance into Northern Germany
    1
  4794. No, they are not my models. Thanks for watching.
    1
  4795. Thanks
    1
  4796. Many thanks for your support
    1
  4797. Maybe because I'm actually a Bond villain taking over the world one video at a time?
    1
  4798. Me too!
    1
  4799. Already have years ago.
    1
  4800. It's in the works

  4801. Yes, stupid mistake. My actual video on pre-decimal currency in circulation in the '70s - '90s is however correct!
    1
  4802. I know - made a mistake. My video linked in end screen is however completely correct.
    1
  4803. The land value - councils sell the plots for millions and then developers cram as many Wendy houses on the old plots are they can legally get away with.
    1
  4804. I know - made a mistake. My video linked in end screen is however completely correct.
    1
  4805. You are right - I did make a video about them and forgot!
    1
  4806. I have several cast autographed photos decorating my downstairs lavatory.
    1
  4807. Then I declare that you have excellent taste!
    1
  4808. I meant when the guy I was discussing became president.
    1
  4809. Already dealt with in one of my videos
    1
  4810. Yes
    1
  4811. British troops can wear foreign medals if permission is given, which it often is.
    1
  4812. Already done
    1
  4813. The blame for Hiroshima and Nagasaki lay squarely upon the shoulders of the Japanese government who refused to surrender. You think the Japanese government cared about civilian deaths? Read up on what they expected from their citizens in the final great showdown with Allied forces if Operation Downfall had gone ahead in December 1945. Shame on you for being so ignorant of the history around this subject and for your ignorant attack on me.
    1
  4814. It was a commonly held opinion among veterans.
    1
  4815. It was made for the 75th anniversary of Hiroshima tomorrow, 6 August.
    1
  4816. The Japanese had 2.5 million troops in Japan waiting to repel Operation Downfall, plus over 5,000 Kamikaze aircraft ready to engage the Allied fleet. Do some research - they were prepared to fight to the death if ordered, and the Japanese government didn't care whether the civilians perished as long as the Emperor was preserved.
    1
  4817. That's all the Japanese government cared about - certainly not ordinary Japanese people who paid the price for the leaders' rigidity.
    1
  4818. Hence, observers reported that the Black Lancasters all had their bomb doors removed.
    1
  4819. Do you even watch the video?
    1
  4820. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  4821. They could only reach Japan from Burma if they employed air refuelling, as I mentioned.
    1
  4822. I heartily agree with the sentiment.
    1
  4823. It's not a 'myth' - the British unit existed and was training to do the job. I merely gave the scenario 'if' they would have performed the mission.
    1
  4824. Operation Downfall would have been worse, for all concerned, not to mention a Soviet occupation of Japan. The Japanese government was responsible for refusing over and over to surrender when Japan had clearly lost. I haven't met a single ex-POW of the Japanese who lost any sleep over it either.
    1
  4825. Did you even watch the video?
    1
  4826. Thanks, but I am the team!
    1
  4827. Hence, Arnold demanding that an American aircraft delivered an American bomb!
    1
  4828. Welcome aboard!
    1
  4829. Enjoy!
    1
  4830. You have presumably heard of Operation Downfall and the predicted casualties? There were sound military decisions for using the bombs. The responsibility lay with the Japanese government for deliberately keeping the war going and killing hundreds of thousands of their own people.
    1
  4831. I didn't realise Mrs Clinton served in WWII
    1
  4832. It's on Amazon Prime.
    1
  4833. I will be
    1
  4834. No, the T-34s had all been knocked out by US and South Korean armour.
    1
  4835. Wow - what a kind compliment!
    1
  4836. There are many interviews, books and documents, not to mention photos, backing this up - from both sides
    1
  4837. You are too kind!
    1
  4838. A pleasure
    1
  4839. It was during the ship's visit to Germany.
    1
  4840. My pleasure!
    1
  4841. So nice of you
    1
  4842. Many thanks
    1
  4843. Unfair and ill-informed opinion - watch the video again and listen to the reasons for his decision.
    1
  4844. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  4845. Much appreciated!
    1
  4846. Sorry about that - I just thought it was a slightly out of focus old photo. My mistake.
    1
  4847. 5.5 inch - same calibre.
    1
  4848. Thanks again!
    1
  4849. Try looking up the word 'impartial' in the dictionary. All of my videos exercise this word in practice because as an historian I'm trained to present and weigh up the evidence. If you watched the video you may have noticed that I don't give my opinion, merely present what happened and the theories put forward by others.
    1
  4850. No, already done that - it will be something more worrying.
    1
  4851. You're welcome!
    1
  4852. I haven't made it yet!
    1
  4853. I'm remaining impartial, as a historian should in such a case. You don't need to take that kind of tone with me.
    1
  4854. Incredibly kind of you and very much appreciated!
    1
  4855. It's a mystery!
    1
  4856. Christ! What did I do to you in a previous life?
    1
  4857. I'm doing fine and working hard. All is as normal.
    1
  4858. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  4859. Thank you! Cheers!
    1
  4860. Thanks again!
    1
  4861. High praise
    1
  4862. Thanks
    1
  4863. Many thanks
    1
  4864. That's great to hear.
    1
  4865. Many thanks - as for those cheeky nonconformists disliking videos, there's no pleasing some folks!
    1
  4866. Many thanks
    1
  4867. Many thanks
    1
  4868. Already have
    1
  4869. That topic is already in the works - I'm doing some filming next week!
    1
  4870. The hydrants are under metal covers in the street. They are not like US hydrants.
    1
  4871. I'm not a boomer - I was born in 1974!
    1
  4872. I miss the excellent Mildenhall airshow, sadly no longer run by the USAF each year.
    1
  4873. Prewar system.
    1
  4874. I should start charging!
    1
  4875. I completely agree - hopefully some building owners are fans of the channel?
    1
  4876. The yellow one is a modern hydrant marker - by modern probably 1950s or '60s. Distance in feet and I think metres also.
    1
  4877. That is not true - black troops served in many theatres and were vital to the overall US war effort. I think black WWII veterans would disagree with such a comment, considering how many volunteered to fight for the US.
    1
  4878. Which is what I said! An agreement that the Soviets deliberately delayed enacting.
    1
  4879. Already made months ago
    1
  4880. Surabaya if I remember - I'll have to dig my book out
    1
  4881. Thank you for watching
    1
  4882. Thanks
    1
  4883. Hi - you can contact me through my website www.markfelton.co.uk. I don't know how to do PM!
    1
  4884. I love the little forgotten tales of WWII
    1
  4885. Actually, I've written 20 books!
    1
  4886. Just type my name into Amazon, there are 20 to choose from.
    1
  4887. Thanks
    1
  4888. Will do
    1
  4889. I think you may be mixing up a second Tiger with the Panther they bought?
    1
  4890. Many thanks
    1
  4891. Thanks. Very kind. I've written a lot since then.
    1
  4892. Many thanks - appreciated
    1
  4893. Its all fully sourced in my book Yanagi from declassified Ultra decrypts and other intel held at the National Archives in London. Several other writers have covered it as well over the years. Look up Monsun U-boats online.
    1
  4894. Thanks
    1
  4895. Not particularly - I cover quite a few Allied tanks as well. But you have to admit, the Tiger family is pretty cool. Ask the Tank Museum.
    1
  4896. Thanks
    1
  4897. One can only hope!
    1
  4898. Glad to hear
    1
  4899. Thanks
    1
  4900. Danke - this new information is much appreciated!
    1
  4901. I try my best, and thanks for the lovely compliments
    1
  4902. Thanks
    1
  4903. I aim to please
    1
  4904. Yes, he was above the law when it came to the rules - I guess because of his prewar fame.
    1
  4905. Already have
    1
  4906. You are too kind
    1
  4907. F-15
    1
  4908. Will do
    1
  4909. So nice of you to say
    1
  4910. Not for long, I fear
    1
  4911. Precisely
    1
  4912. No, the latter is the correct name, and it's an abbreviation.
    1
  4913. Perhaps, but there is only a little metal in the detonator.
    1
  4914. No I didn't - listen again!
    1
  4915. Already have
    1
  4916. Depends on where in Germany you are from.
    1
  4917. The British Free Corps - part of the Waffen-SS. I have made a video about it.
    1
  4918. Thanks
    1
  4919. Lots of hard work mixed with a passion for history.
    1
  4920. Thanks for contacting me. I've given your website a special thanks credit in the description. Cheers, Mark
    1
  4921. Not according to Germans I know. But perhaps a native speaker can help me out with this thorny naming issue?
    1
  4922. I'm a professional historian but an amateur narrator.
    1
  4923. Great suggestion!
    1
  4924. I stated both pronunciations and used the American as they tend to guard it and also most of my viewers are Americans. I don't use it in everyday speech.
    1
  4925. No, but I have appeared in about 7 tv documentaries on Nat Geo, History Channel, AHC etc.
    1
  4926. Thanks
    1
  4927. Thanks, and thanks for your very kind support
    1
  4928. Thank you, sir
    1
  4929. I love you for saying so!
    1
  4930. You sir are too kind
    1
  4931. HMT would be His Majesty's Transport ship.
    1
  4932. RAF Museum, Hendon, London
    1
  4933. Yes, it's true. Trust me.
    1
  4934. We were hit by hundreds of the buggers!
    1
  4935. You should watch my video on Megaroc.
    1
  4936. WW2 sirens were used until the 1990s - why change a working system?
    1
  4937. Actually, its a WW2 air raid siren repurposed for flood alerts!
    1
  4938. That was the British thinking at the time.
    1
  4939. There must be many survivors in their 90s alive today.
    1
  4940. No relationship - they were serving in the US Army.
    1
  4941. Just called me H.G. Felton
    1
  4942. Italian POWs in ISUs amounted to 6% of all US Quartermaster Corps troops in Europe in May 1945.
    1
  4943. I did forget to mention that some units were armed, though as you say not used in combat as per Red Cross and Geneva Convention rules.
    1
  4944. Archives
    1
  4945. I think the famous Mafia families were already well-established in the US before WWI, let alone WWII.
    1
  4946. The only Italians in the Normandy theatre were some Italian sailors off submarines serving in the U-boat bases along the coast. There may have been a few RSI soldiers swept up by the Operation Dragoon landings in S. France as well.
    1
  4947. Interestingly, they still fell under the protection of the Red Cross, and also received their Italian Army pay even though employed by the Americans!
    1
  4948. Slip of the tongue
    1
  4949. I believe one of Skorzeny's English-speaking commando teams reached it in a jeep.
    1
  4950. In Belgium it's the Meuse.
    1
  4951. Very welcome
    1
  4952. Awesome, thank you!
    1
  4953. Same to you!
    1
  4954. I can't imagine a hot Christmas - its cold and wet here in Norwich.
    1
  4955. Same to you!
    1
  4956. Chin up!
    1
  4957. The Germans largely reverted to telephones now they were within their own borders.
    1
  4958. Wonderful work - many thanks.
    1
  4959. Same to you!
    1
  4960. No according to other subscribers when I pronounced the glider "Way-co" during a previous video - I have a feeling I can't win on this one!
    1
  4961. I thought the locals spoke with an accent rather than standard French?
    1
  4962. Same to you!
    1
  4963. Same to you!
    1
  4964. Thanks - I have made a few longer ones as well.
    1
  4965. Thanks. 'No pleasing some people' is very true when it comes to YouTube.
    1
  4966. Correct
    1
  4967. Spooky
    1
  4968. But perhaps there will be two in the future if 'Just Jane' makes it back into the air. Fingers crossed.
    1
  4969. There is one - it was a Halloween special
    1
  4970. No, sorry, only Paypal or Patreon.
    1
  4971. Underwater currents in those parts are alarming - it will be dispersed.
    1
  4972. It's South African colours, from the old flag.
    1
  4973. Not my field, I'm afraid
    1
  4974. I guess they had to, in order to transit the Strait of Hormuz and all the aggro ti happen in that region over the decades.
    1
  4975. Off on the left
    1
  4976. Now you can see why, unsurprisingly, I gave up French at school!
    1
  4977. Of course, send me an email at hello@markfelton.co.uk
    1
  4978. I forgot, but you are correct regarding the monument.
    1
  4979. I have - it was about Operation Stosser in the Battle of the Bulge.
    1
  4980. He was later, but I have to use what photos I can!
    1
  4981. I doubt it - the Greek resistance fought stubbornly against the Germans.
    1
  4982. Already done such a video some time ago.
    1
  4983. I've covered it in my film about the Goebbels' Government - and this video is concerned with the ones who survived the war.
    1
  4984. I do pronounce it the German way - which sounds exactly like the English 'Brown'.
    1
  4985. I visited and filmed at Castle Fuschl, which is now a very nice hotel. It has amazing views and is little changed from when von Ribbentrop owned it.
    1
  4986. Thank you very much!
    1
  4987. No, I've already covered the fate of the Goebbels family in my video The Goebbels Government.
    1
  4988. Two sisters - I cover the extended Hitler family in my documentary on the Hitler family members after the war.
    1
  4989. It doesn't - the grave was recently erased from a Berlin cemetery after being rediscovered. Heydrich is still buried there though.
    1
  4990. I think you will find that the title of the video comes on after my picture, not during.
    1
  4991. He had himself adopted by his aunt, who was a 'von'.
    1
  4992. Welcome aboard!
    1
  4993. Happy Birthday!
    1
  4994. Yamashita was hanged after the Tokyo trials.
    1
  4995. Thanks a lot!
    1
  4996. Thanks, will do!
    1
  4997. Happy Birthday!
    1
  4998. A mixture
    1
  4999. I used to read Commando in the late '70s-early '80s.
    1
  5000. I have several times, both videos and my books on the Holocaust.
    1
  5001. I've made a video about her - https://youtu.be/n_qnd839mQs
    1
  5002. Irony does not translate well from language to language. I did my best.
    1
  5003. War Correspondent - dresses like an officer and has officer status in case of capture, but doesn't wear any rank insignia.
    1
  5004. You clicked on it pal...
    1
  5005. He has no rank insignia, but dresses like an officer. The original film has him listed as a war correspondent. Embedded I guess, as he's completed parachute training and seen action judging by his badges and medals. Lots of WCs were armed - just ask Hemingway!
    1
  5006. Ask a silly question....
    1
  5007. Reproduction, so I'm told.
    1
  5008. Good advice!
    1
  5009. Comforting news
    1
  5010. Instruction: read a history book, and discover how wrong you are.
    1
  5011. I'm so glad!
    1
  5012. Good moaning
    1
  5013. Wearing allied uniform
    1
  5014. Already have - King Tiger in La Gleize
    1
  5015. Good advice!
    1
  5016. Thanks - I do
    1
  5017. Already have
    1
  5018. Some rubble and steps. And the famous overlook with modern railings and bench. The Moll Bunker is also one of the last intact ones on the Obersalzberg.
    1
  5019. I think library copies were left alone during that period - just no new copies produced.
    1
  5020. Correct. Hitler received a royalty from each copy
    1
  5021. You think that every incident I make videos about was filmed at the time? Sometimes I have to try and fit stock footage into the narrative where none exists in order not to break up the story for my viewers. No pleasing some people!
    1
  5022. I never said that. I said, as is agreed by most historians, that Stalin wanted to avoid a war with Germany.
    1
  5023. Badly!
    1
  5024. My wonderful home for over 9 years!
    1
  5025. Its from Apple iMovie
    1
  5026. Already done this!
    1
  5027. Can you provide some links to your videos and I'd be happy to pop along and find fault. Absolute pleasure.
    1
  5028. I believe they changed from metal to plastic because of the fear of electrocution.
    1
  5029. Yes, I believe the new kevlar one is nicknamed the 'Fritz Helmet'.
    1
  5030. There are several studies that back this up
    1
  5031. Always good to get a professional's view of these sorts of ops.
    1
  5032. Fortunate for the Americans. I thought that was obvious.
    1
  5033. I disagree - it was a travesty!
    1
  5034. I really hope not, but I've been reading the early reviews with a growing sense of foreboding.
    1
  5035. I know - misspoke.
    1
  5036. Precisely - the Meteor had the engines on the wings.
    1
  5037. I know - misspoke
    1
  5038. Yes, abandoned ones. Check out Zaloga for more information on this.
    1
  5039. Thanks!
    1
  5040. Thanks again!
    1
  5041. It was repaired after the war and turned into a museum.
    1
  5042. Thanks again!
    1
  5043. I've made a few.
    1
  5044. Thank you! Cheers!
    1
  5045. I know - I misspoke. Oh, the humanity!
    1
  5046. Thanks for watching
    1
  5047. Many thanks!
    1
  5048. I appreciate that!
    1
  5049. Common sense dictates that very little real combat footage exists - for the simply reason it's too damn dangerous to film at the front with any hope of catching anything remotely watchable.
    1
  5050. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  5051. They were rebuilt after the war.
    1
  5052. Thanks again!
    1
  5053. No problem!
    1
  5054. I noticed that also - disgraceful. Good mind to cancel my tv licence!
    1
  5055. Thanks for watching!
    1
  5056. I appreciate it
    1
  5057. My pleasure!
    1
  5058. I misspoke!
    1
  5059. My pleasure
    1
  5060. Yes, I just made a video about this, but it was not in Normandy in the beaches area.
    1
  5061. Much appreciated!
    1
  5062. The trouble is, I'll lose my independence and have to answer to 'The Man'.
    1
  5063. Thanks, will do!
    1
  5064. Happy birthday!
    1
  5065. Dunkirk is not in Normandy - and I made a video about it directly before this one.
    1
  5066. Enjoy!
    1
  5067. Much appreciated
    1
  5068. One of the fake Saving Private Ryan Tigers is currently on display at the Imperial War Museum Duxford. They were built on T-55 tank chassis.
    1
  5069. 30 Corps had a battle at the town I mentioned - look it up.
    1
  5070. Canadian Army footage from the late 1950s.
    1
  5071. I said Limburg Province, Nertherlands, on the German border.
    1
  5072. Panzer IVs only.
    1
  5073. I misspoke - I know the difference.
    1
  5074. A specialist vehicle version still is.
    1
  5075. Canadian footage.
    1
  5076. Misspoke - concentration lapse!
    1
  5077. Ha-de-ha - I misspoke, but I can't change the video now its up.
    1
  5078. What were you watching?
    1
  5079. I think you are right.
    1
  5080. We use miles in Britain today and in the past - just like our American cousins.
    1
  5081. If you don't like my videos, leave my channel. There is no need to write comments like this.
    1
  5082. Your point?
    1
  5083. Yes, but mine was based in reality.
    1
  5084. There are plenty of books about them.
    1
  5085. They did.
    1
  5086. I normally use both - you should listen more carefully.
    1
  5087. No, Syria deployed some old Panzer IVs and assault guns. I've made a video about it.
    1
  5088. According to my stats, my audience is about 94% male.
    1
  5089. Actually, in its first encounter with a Tiger I, the M26 was knocked out!
    1
  5090. Yes.
    1
  5091. I wrote about that attack in my book The Fujita Plan - I may do it as a video.
    1
  5092. You have to understand Hitler's psyche to understand why he died in Berlin. Himmler was a very different person.
    1
  5093. You would have guessed too soon
    1
  5094. I am.
    1
  5095. I've got plenty more!
    1
  5096. No, a subscriber kindly alerted me to the story, which has been around for several years apparently.
    1
  5097. Yes, I spotted that one after publishing - blast!
    1
  5098. Too obvious
    1
  5099. You're fun
    1
  5100. An interesting question - WW2 in 1929?
    1
  5101. They didn't 'fear something'. If Hitler had survived, Western intelligence services would have quickly mounted operations to apprehend him. Look at the resources devoted by governments, Nazi hunters and Mossad to trying to locate the likes of Eichmann and Mengele.
    1
  5102. No, he didn't.
    1
  5103. Nonsense
    1
  5104. Eva Braun was unknown outside of Hitler's inner circle.
    1
  5105. The FBI dismissed the idea that Hitler escaped - it was merely going through the tedium of dealing with every crank sighting and nonsense escape story. They found no evidence for such a plot.
    1
  5106. How so?
    1
  5107. Watch my Bormann series and I explain everything.
    1
  5108. Precisely. General Rattenhuber was effectively a policeman anyway, so I'm sure he thought like one.
    1
  5109. The bleeding around the heart of the female corpse could only have been caused when alive, when there was still blood pressure. That is an indisputable fact from the autopsy and Western surgeons' examination of the autopsy notes. The body was not hit by shrapnel. It is one of the major and compelling reasons why the corpse was not Eva Braun.
    1
  5110. Then how did their dental bridges end up in 2 burned bodies found by the Soviets?
    1
  5111. Grow up
    1
  5112. I didn't say my theory was right, but it's certainly more plausible than many. My theory is far from 'baseless', but if you have another answer based on actual documentary & medical evidence like mine, do share.
    1
  5113. Close living relatives.
    1
  5114. It wasn't about DNA testing - Western researchers would have started making noises about fresh autopsy examinations. Who knows what they would have revealed.
    1
  5115. Yup
    1
  5116. Can't get the footage, sorry.
    1
  5117. Footage availability, old boy.
    1
  5118. B2
    1
  5119. I live near two of them!
    1
  5120. The gift that keeps on giving.
    1
  5121. Actually, the Soviets would have stacked North America via Canada, flying in over the Arctic!
    1
  5122. We don't - our nuclear capability rests on 4 ballistic missile armed submarines.
    1
  5123. I believe so.
    1
  5124. I don't think it would. Technology has moved on. Perhaps we could use Taranis instead?
    1
  5125. You never heard of Cuba or Angola?
    1
  5126. I was being ironic
    1
  5127. No I didn't
    1
  5128. Teddy Roosevelt's grandson was the CIA officer in charge.
    1
  5129. Thanks

  5130. No, thank you for watching!
    1

  5133. Onwards to 1 million - charge!!!!!!
    1
  5134. No idea
    1
  5135. I think you will find I mentioned the reasons for the Japanese surrender being the atomic bombings AND the Soviet invasion of Manchuria and Korea. Might want to unblock your ears!
    1
  5136. The Italian Gold Medal of Military Valour has been awarded continuously since 1793, including WWII.
    1
  5137. I'm working on a couple of projects.

  5141. That was my D-Day special last year!
    1
  5142. You're welcome!
    1
  5143. I suggest you visit a WWII destroyer and compare. You may be surprised.
    1
  5144. I thought you were dead? But since you ask, I do make the videos all by myself, without a safety net.
    1
  5145. I fear I had got the pronunciation wrong - I'm waiting for Poles to correct me.
    1
  5146. Hopefully one day I will!

    1
  5150. My pleasure!

  5151. She was covering from some distance, not directly involved with the beaches or gunfire support etc. I can't cover everything or the video would be longer than The Longest Day!
    1
  5152. I understood that it was mock-up made for the film.
    1
  5153. I left her out as she was not directly involved with the landings, but was covering from a distance. No disrepect though, but I do have to draw the line somewhere.
    1
  5154. She was covering from some distance, not directly involved with the beaches or gunfire support etc. I can't cover everything or the video would be longer than The Longest Day!
    1
  5155. Yes. Not bad.
    1
  5156. Many
    1
  5157. Some a WW1 graves - Germans who were KIA on Zeppelins & Gothas, or died as POWs from wounds or illness.
    1
  5158. Most were German Jews serving in the Royal Pioneer Corps or The Intelligence Corps, and are buried in British cemeteries all over the world.
    1
  5159. No, they have a church right next to Sandringham House.
    1
  5160. Japanese midget submarines were not very successful either. I wrote about them in my book The Fujita Plan. Good idea, poorly executed.
    1
  5161. I wrote a book about this called The Sea Devils.
    1
  5162. Danke - I try my best.
    1
  5163. There were two ceremonies - only the 20 March one being filmed.
    1
  5164. Glad you enjoyed it! I agree with your comments regarding many modern tv 'documentaries'.
    1
  5165. Thanks - I was awarded by doctorate in 2006, some time before I made any videos! But thanks for your long-running support!
    1
  5166. or the Spanish Inquisition.
    1
  5167. Eva used to say the same thing.

    1
  5169. I did!
    1
  5170. Monty?
    1
  5171. SS most certainly did guard this memorial - suggest you check out the many photos online of them doing so. The SS later had a 'Feldherrnhalle' Division made up of former SA men etc.
    1
  5172. Thanks and will do

  5189. It is very noticeable, particularly on his Grand Admiral's tunic - the sleeve rings and colour accentuate the difference.
    1
  5190. I wasn't shown any apart from the Turkish helmet I covered in the previous episode.
    1
  5191. Yes, I noticed that when I was there.
    1
  5192. Enjoy!
    1
  5193. Already have!
    1
  5194. Many thanks!
    1
  5195. I've already done it!
    1
  5196. I was considering doing the Malmedy Massacre, but the footage is too gory for YouTube rules concerning showing dead bodies. I'm trying to work a way around it. I visited Malmedy one winter and it has a fascinating local Ardennes museum that covers the topic powerfully.
    1
  5197. Wow, thanks
    1
  5198. Bad means 'Bath' - its a spa town.
    1
  5199. German flak guns would have disagreed!
    1
  5200. Wow, thanks!
    1
  5201. Much appreciated!

  5205. He died in 1963 in a zoo.
    1
  5206. It’s out of print at the moment. Second hand copies are floating around
    1
  5207. Yes, it was. A territory but not yet a state. Like Puerto Rico today.
    1
  5208. Many thanks
    1
  5209. Thank you for watching
    1
  5210. Maybe you should learn to read as they are clearly stated in the description box
    1
  5211. Thanks
    1
  5212. We were a lot less 'Allied' by April-May 1945. The Cold War started before the last German surrendered.
    1
  5213. Das ist verboten!
    1
  5214. Not according to the original photo caption.
    1
  5215. Actually, Hitler was succeeded by both men, as the position of 'Fuhrer' was split, with Doenitz becoming Reich President and Goebbels Reich Chancellor. Once Goebbels was dead, Doenitz was the single supreme civil and military authority remaining and did indeed rule what remained of Germany until his rump government was arrested by the British later in May 1945.
    1
  5216. The corpses were all disposed of in 1970 (according the KGB officers interviewed on tv).
    1
  5217. No
    1
  5218. Bormann was promoted in Hitler's will to 'Party Minister', though in reality one can argue that he was the most powerful person in Germany by late April 1945. However, once Hitler was dead, Bormann's power evaporated and he was seemingly more interested in saving his own skin.
    1
  5219. I have studied this period and this man for over 25 years, and I can tell you that historians and physicians all disagree with each other regarding what was causing Hitler's degeneration. The definitive answer will eventually emerge from the several possibilities currently floating around.
    1
  5220. I've already made a separate video on this topic!
    1
  5221. The driving force behind killing the children was apparently Magda, who was completely obsessed by Hitler.
    1
  5222. Theodor Morell?
    1
  5223. I never said that...anyway, you will all be surprised when the truth comes out...
    1
  5224. YouTube regulations about showing dead bodies - anyway, you can easily look up the grisly images if you are so inclined.
    1
  5225. Tiresome.
    1
  5226. Both would have received the death penalty. Bormann was in fact sentenced to death in absentia.
    1
  5227. Air burst over Hiroshima, causing rapid radiation decay.
    1
  5228. They actually have a working WW2-era Amsterdam tram at the East Anglia Transport Museum.
    1
  5229. USS Augusta
    1
  5230. They didn't run out of fuel - but they had problems bringing fuel forward in sufficient quantities due to Allied artillery attacks and also the general fuel shortages plaguing Germany in early 1945. The great bulk of fuel had been stockpiled for the Ardennes Offensive, but was stockpiled too far back to properly support the forward units. In the attack I discussed, I think the forward Panzer units, if the Panthers were included, would have overrun some US fuel dumps in Luxembourg to help the momentum of the attack, as the German spearheads did in the Ardennes, but that is conjecture on my part.
    1
  5231. What's the problem with this sponsor?
    1
  5232. Do you not watch the video?
    1
  5233. I did - the driver is dead in the front and if I show it, Youtube age restricts my video.
    1
  5234. The Ju88 was a fighter bomber
    1
  5235. Enjoy!
    1
  5236. I make the point of adding the work 'aircraft', and also reference the first bombing on the date you mention as being performed by a Zeppelin.
    1
  5237. The thing that stops me making more WWI content is, sadly, low viewing figures for this subject area. But, I nonetheless appreciate that you are watching them and for your encouraging remarks!

  5274. I'm afraid the Free French were unable to get new stocks of French uniforms for years, so to ensure a smart turnout and uniformity, they were issued with US Army kit. Many continued to wear the kepi or Adrian steel helmet, and their weapons tended to be quite mixed, including British Lee-Enfields, French small arms and US weapons.

  5328. MOSSAD never got Mengele or Walter Rauff. Just two examples among many.
    1
  5329. I think it was the Sea Fury. I may be wrong.
    1
  5330. Can’t get the footage
    1
  5331. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  5332. Thanks for listening
    1
  5333. Wow, thanks!
    1
  5334. You are very welcome
    1
  5335. Same to you!
    1
  5336. Many thousands ended up in the Gulag system.
    1
  5337. Then why is it listed as USAAF in all histories? I believe 'Air Corps' was the prewar and early war nomenclature. Though I'm sure someone can correct me.
    1
  5338. The Gestapo actually used them in street surveillance in the Netherlands in WWII, and I'm sure elsewhere.
    1
  5339. High powered British torpedo explosive - much stronger than regular TNT.
    1
  5340. Not according to the news reports. Anyway, we dropped some extremely big bombs on the thing until it was no more than a pile of scrap.
    1
  5341. Yes, Barnes Wallis designed these bombs. Look up 'Victory Bomber', a special plane he designed just for earthquake bombs. Never built.
    1
  5342. You are very kind.
    1
  5343. It was a short trip.
    1
  5344. Possibly - but an almighty failure.
    1
  5345. Hitler was certainly bunker mad when it came to the V-weapons, and it was counter-productive. The V-2 was effective once launched from highly mobile units.
    1
  5346. The airfield is still there, with overgrown buildings and runways.
    1
  5347. I agree - they tried using them to knock out the Remagen Bridge - closest hit was one mile away.
    1
  5348. I'm not interested in your question, which seems loaded to me.
    1
  5349. Indeed.
    1
  5350. Eventually
    1
  5351. How so? What, precisely, is this 'Truth' you speak of that I am apparently an 'enemy of'.
    1
  5352. Yes, two French women forced labourers and a British sergeant POW, and I mentioned both in this video.
    1
  5353. Gold is currently about $60,000 per kilo. 1,000 kilos = 1 metric ton. Roughly $60 million per ton. So 100 metric tons (the Germans used metric measurements) is roughly 6 billion dollars at current prices. I'm not off at all. You are using US ton measurements, which are less.
    1
  5354. Fascinating!
    1
  5355. I have been researching a possible video on this topic, so perhaps in the future.
    1
  5356. Truth is often stranger than fiction!
    1
  5357. I'll have to disagree with you there - if it was all 'on the level' why the use of guns and compelling bank employees to open the vaults?
    1
  5358. That's just at Merkers - Germany had a lot more belonging to various state organisations such as the Foreign Office, and of course huge private business assets. Also, billions of state capital had already been offshored into various foreign banks from 1944 onwards.
    1
  5359. Plenty was stolen by US troops, including some massive hauls, but that's for another time!
    1
  5360. No.
    1
  5361. Might be an idea!
    1
  5362. I said 'infamous'.
    1
  5363. That was during the Weimar period of hyper inflation, not during the Third Reich.
    1
  5364. Morning!
    1
  5365. Its complicated, but they did take a lot. Perhaps I will make a video to explain?
    1
  5366. Yes, it happened - plenty of witnessed wrote about it or were interviewed at length.
    1
  5367. What an amazing find - what happened to it?
    1
  5368. Germans love their 'doctor' titles. Many engineers, lawyers etc have doctoral degrees, not just PhDs like myself or medical degrees. The title 'doctor' is much respected in Germany.
    1
  5369. That's because it probably never existed.
    1
  5370. No - he was commanding a battalion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers.
    1
  5371. Great idea!
    1
  5372. The one at Duxford - been in it myself,
    1
  5373. That was Patton.
    1
  5374. He did live to 90.
    1
  5375. ???
    1
  5376. I'd rather not having written about this subject in my book 'The Real Tenko' - too horrible to repeat.
    1
  5377. Great film.
    1
  5378. Batman - a soldier-servant. Americans use the term 'orderly'.
    1
  5379. Yes, Hitler drove close to the front in the Polish Campaign in 1939 and his convoy was involved in an 'incident'. He also drove past hundreds of Polish POWs. But he certainly didn't get as close to the action as Churchill.
    1
  5380. Of course - slip of the old tongue
    1
  5381. I've already made a video about General Rose's tragic death.
    1
  5382. It's on the list
    1
  5383. Been done recently by another channel.
    1
  5384. Batman - a military soldier-servant.
    1
  5385. Yet he lived to 90.
    1
  5386. I think if he'd been recognised, the Germans would have bombarded the area to smithereens.
    1
  5387. Already have
    1
  5388. You'd be surprised - read Eisenhower's memoirs.
    1
  5389. I don't actually drink tea, only black coffee!
    1
  5390. I get that a lot!
    1
  5391. Who's says conspiracy theory? I'd call it a series of theories, as yet unproven, though grounded in strong circumstantial evidence.
    1
  5392. As far as I can ascertain, some Stugs but I don't think any actual tanks.
    1
  5393. George HW Bush was a political appointee to the CIA - he never served in the CIA.
    1
  5394. Political appointee only
    1
  5395. It was - and I made a video about it some years back.
    1
  5396. Wonderful
    1
  5397. Link in the description
    1
  5398. I've made a few WW1 videos - do check them out.
    1
  5399. Thanks 👍
    1
  5400. I thought I just did.
    1
  5401. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  5402. My pleasure!
    1
  5403. Much appreciated!
    1
  5404. Me too!
    1
  5405. Suspend disbelief my friend and engage imagination.
    1
  5406. Yup, the unit was previously equipped with Tiger 1s before the II entered service.
    1
  5407. Glad you like them!
    1
  5408. Thank you very much!
    1
  5409. Correct.
    1
  5410. Check out the Link in the description and you see.
    1
  5411. And don't you forget it!
    1
  5412. The British liberated half of the Netherlands, but Amsterdam and the other half remained under German control, cut off, until the war's end.
    1
  5413. Many thanks - was in that series several years ago.
    1
  5414. Rommel probably would have cut the Suez Canal.
    1
  5415. One of my grandfathers fought the Japanese in Burma, and the other fought in North Africa and Italy - I never heard a bad word about Rommel from him. British troops really did respect The Desert Fox.
    1
  5416. No, Rommel also capture huge amounts of British supplies, particularly at Tobruk.
    1
  5417. My grandfather fought at Imphal and Kohima.
    1
  5418. I covered it in my book 'The Last Nazis' - I may do some videos after the prime examples.
    1
  5419. I'm rewatching The Desert Fox - he actually played Rommel twice on film.
    1
  5420. Monty also had a framed photo of Rommel in his command caravan - I think its the one on display at Duxford.
    1
  5421. Yes
    1
  5422. If you were clever, you would drip feed them onto the market rather than flood the place all at once. And I think demand among collectors would still keep the price high even if all released at once.
    1
  5423. If you were clever, you would drip feed them onto the market rather than flood the place all at once.
    1
  5424. It didn't cost you a penny to watch my video.
    1
  5425. The big bookshop chains usually stock them, and of course Amazon.
    1
  5426. If you were clever, you would drip feed them onto the market rather than flood the place all at once. And I think demand among collectors would still keep the price high even if all released at once.
    1
  5427. Then why watch it?
    1
  5428. Don't worry, I'm enjoying myself - the research and production are very stimulating.
    1
  5429. They were expelled.
    1
  5430. I never said all conspiracy theories are untrue. I was discussing one particular case - George S. Patton.
    1
  5431. Don't be ridiculous - my programmes are all thoroughly researched and the titles reflect the content.
    1
  5432. Taken to pieces and shifted by trucks
    1
  5433. Thanks Cameron. I’m adding you to my acknowledgements. Wonderful idea!
    1
  5434. Thanks - the French make some excellent documentaries
    1
  5435. They were until the 8 May 1945!
    1
  5436. Already have
    1
  5437. Really? Must check that out.
    1
  5438. T-34-85s retail at about $40,000 - I believe a Sherman is considerably more.
    1
  5439. The Finns encountered T-34s in the Continuation War of 1941 onwards.
    1
  5440. No - the last in service were engineer vehicles, but they've all been replaced as far as I could tell.
    1
  5441. Incorrect - suggest you look it up.
    1
  5442. They are not nations.
    1
  5443. I once had an overpriced coffee in Liechtenstein!
    1
  5444. Thanks for watching
    1
  5445. Thanks

    1
  5463. But I love The Eagle Has Landed!
    1
  5464. Thanks
    1
  5465. They are now
    1
  5466. You tell me?
    1
  5467. Thanks, but it's 'Felton'.
    1
  5468. Its been done many times before - you may notice that I don't reheat, I cook from scratch.
    1
  5469. Already done.
    1
  5470. I've been getting that for years!
    1
  5471. Well, you'd be wrong then.
    1
  5472. No, it shows "Mark Felton Productions Presents..." then the picture changes to the subject of the video.
    1
  5473. I'd rather not - I wrote a book about it years ago, it practically gave me PTSD dealing with the research material!
    1
  5474. Actually, the part with me says "Mark Felton Productions presents..." - might want to change your glasses.
    1
  5475. Not sure if that's an insult, a compliment or some kind of devil worshipping reference?
    1
  5476. I'm 46, so not so young anymore!
    1
  5477. Thanks!
    1
  5478. Thank you kindly!
    1
  5479. I used Google maps
    1
  5480. We're about to invade Lundy?
    1
  5481. Been done - there's a whole documentary about this on YouTube.
    1
  5482. Yes
    1
  5483. Hope so!
    1
  5484. Well, they are shadows of their former selves!
    1
  5485. Many thanks

    1
  5489. Wow, thanks
    1
  5490. My pleasure!
    1
  5491. Yes, I have a PhD and I've been a professional historian for 16 years.
    1
  5492. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  5493. She's no longer in the Arctic - I try to keep my videos specific to the title.
    1
  5494. Thanks - I won't
    1
  5495. Not intact though
    1
  5496. Recovered to a museum I believe
    1
  5497. Thanks so much!
    1
  5498. Not always
    1
  5499. Definitely!
    1
  5500. Nothing to do with a video about planes currently in the Arctic - I try to be specific to the title.
    1
  5501. Seen it - very good
    1
  5502. No, the British Embassy was evacuated from Nanking in 1937 to the British Consulate building on the Bund, Shanghai.
    1
  5503. Thanks
    1
  5504. Thanks for watching
    1

  5506. That's such a nice comment - thanks
    1
  5507. Jewish Company, Shanghai Volunteer Corps
    1
  5508. I think the charges went off as she rolled over - quite a bit of confusion as can be imagined! Wreck salvaged and scrapped by Chinese in 1950s.
    1
  5509. Thank you
    1
  5510. Jewish Company, SVC.
    1
  5511. British divisional symbol I believe.
    1
  5512. Very welcome
    1
  5513. Thank you very much!
    1
  5514. I read selections of comments every day. I receive thousands of comments daily, so you will forgive me for not being able to reply to every kind person who takes the time to write something. If I did, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the time to research and make videos. But I really do appreciate everyone who interacts with my videos (except for the rude ones of course!)
    1
  5515. Elaborate German aristocratic names!
    1
  5516. You are right - I've appeared in about seven mainstream documentaries for channels like NatGeo, The History Channel and AHC.
    1
  5517. Actually, I've written 22 books.
    1
  5518. Yes
    1
  5519. Yes, tech issue
    1
  5520. Yes, tech issue
    1
  5521. Many thanks for telling me. I've added a credit. Do you have any objection to its use and would you like to change the credit name?
    1
  5522. My video only concerns the Western Allies, which I state repeatedly!
    1
  5523. The Channel Islands belong to the UK, just the same as overseas territories like Gibraltar belong to the UK. I wasn't making a video about legal semantics.
    1
  5524. British unfortunately - he had no choice in the matter
    1
  5525. You are right - I made a slight error there!
    1
  5526. Scrap yard
    1
  5527. As long as they had a few extra to cannibalise for spares, probably a fair amount!
    1
  5528. I'm guessing just another abandoned tank that was scrapped shortly after the war.
    1
  5529. Allied star!
    1
  5530. Pleasure
    1
  5531. Many thanks - it would be great if you would consider supporting me on Patreon for only $1 a month: https://www.patreon.com/markfeltonproductions
    1
  5532. I imagine it was towed off and scrapped after the war.
    1
  5533. Adrian Weale wrote about them in 'Hitler's Englishmen'. Great book.
    1
  5534. The link is in the end screen to this video!
    1
  5535. A point elegantly made
    1
  5536. Blast - a minor slip of the tongue!
    1
  5537. Slovakia had seceded from Czechoslovakia at the time of the battle, so I think I'm accurate.
    1
  5538. Aristocratic titles in Austria became legally part of surnames after WW1.
    1
  5539. Our's was a very brief one off mission to sink Tirpitz (Operation Paravane), unlike the months the Americans invested in Frantic.
    1
  5540. I've made many Cold War videos.
    1
  5541. Already done
    1
  5542. I appreciate that!
    1
  5543. Yes - lend lease to ussr
    1
  5544. No - it's the voiceover for Mark Felton Productions!
    1
  5545. Soviet lend lease
    1
  5546. Yes, he was. Created Prince of Bismarck in 1871 and Duke of Lauenburg in 1890. His great grandson is currently Prince von Bismarck. Perhaps do some reading before telling me I don't know my business.
    1
  5547. Which in English means 'Prince'. There is a difference between a royal prince and a princely title bestowed by the Kaiser on a commoner. Bismarck was created Prince of Bismarck in 1871 and Duke of Lauenburg in 1890. By any measure, he was a prince. His descendants still use this title. Look it up.
    1
  5548. I think that was mostly Brazil & Paraguay
    1
  5549. I think you are the fifth person to bring me up on this point, and you are all sadly wrong. Bismarck was created a prince in 1871 (Fürst von Bismarck) but he was not born a prince, and in 1890 created Duke of Lauenburg. The House of Bismarck exists today, and here is a link to the current Prince von Bismarck: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_von_Bismarck
    1
  5550. Christ! How many more times do I need to explain this freely available information? He was created Fürst von Bismarck in 1871. The title 'Fürst' in English is 'Prince'. This is not a royal title, but an hereditary princely title. I've noticed that it's mostly Germans telling me I'm wrong. I thing the confusion is that with the abolition of titles in Germany since 1919, you are not used to their usage and how they were awarded. The current Prince von Bismarck is his great-grandson. Please do read up on this - here's the Wikipedia article on 'Fürst' that may help clear the mists of confusion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fürst
    1
  5551. Thanks
    1
  5552. He was created Prince of Bismarck in 1871. He was not a royal prince. There is a difference. Try reading a history book if you don't believe me.
    1
  5553. Another one? How many more will question this? To save me typing a response please read the following, noting his title and when the Kaiser made him a prince: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_von_Bismarck
    1
  5554. I think you are the sixth person to bring me up on this point, and you are all sadly wrong. Bismarck was created a prince in 1871 (Fürst von Bismarck) but he was not born a prince, and in 1890 created Duke of Lauenburg. The House of Bismarck exists today, and here is a link to the current Prince von Bismarck: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_von_Bismarck
    1
  5555. Thanks
    1
  5556. Thanks
    1
  5557. Wrong - created Prince of Bismarck in 1871 and Duke of Lauenburg in 1890. Do please fact check before telling me I don't know my business.
    1
  5558. He was - created "Prince of Bismarck and Duke of Lauenburg" by the previous Kaiser. Try reading books, it does help.
    1
  5559. I think Vasily Zaitsev would disagree with you.
    1
  5560. The Mausers didn't do the Germans a lot of good, did they? It was men with Mosins etc that made it to Berlin.
    1
  5561. I feel the same way about my grandfathers, both WW2 infantrymen.
    1
  5562. Thought that might wake you up!
    1
  5563. Yes, both of my late grandfathers for example!
    1
  5564. Working on it!
    1
  5565. Absolutely!
    1
  5566. Much appreciated!
    1
  5567. I want to - its a question of footage.
    1
  5568. No - that officer was someone different.
    1
  5569. Bergen-Belsen
    1
  5570. Glad you like them!
    1
  5571. I appreciate it!
    1
  5572. Technical issue - will be back shortly
    1
  5573. Showing dead bodies violates YouTube's rules for creators. Anyway, we've all seen the images and film you are referring to many times before. I'm not keeping anything from you, I can assure you!
    1
  5574. My channel is not demonetised - everything is fine.
    1
  5575. It's sad - when I was growing up in the '70s and '80s, every old man seemed to be a WW2 veteran. And some of my older teachers were ex-National Servicemen. They were all full of stories and life experience and a calm, natural authority.
    1
  5576. So nice of you
    1
  5577. I am
    1
  5578. Indeed
    1
  5579. I know - I meant Tibet - missed during the edit.
    1
  5580. I know - I thought I said Tibet.
    1
  5581. I thought it did - blast!
    1
  5582. I know - I meant to say Tibet.
    1
  5583. After 1936, Edward was no longer a king, so I'm sure Churchill had consulted a constitutional lawyer before he made the threat in 1940.
    1
  5584. Many things, and some will be appearing in future videos.
    1
  5585. Do please enlighten me.
    1
  5586. No
    1
  5587. I know perfectly well.
    1
  5588. I did stay neutral - I reported what other people said. Try to listen before writing drivel.
    1
  5589. I have no definitive answers - the investigations are ongoing. I presented all possible theories.
    1
  5590. Casualties caused by accidents are counted in military operations - and the current NATO activities in Poland and Romania and many other nations constitute a clear military operation in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Therefore, my title is fully justified.
    1
  5591. Non-battle casualties are counted in military operations - and the NATO build-up along the Ukraine-Russia border is a military operation. So my title is correct.
    1
  5592. If it happened yesterday, it's history.
    1
  5593. I do refute their claims - try listening, cloth ears.
    1
  5594. Non-battle casualties are counted in military operations - and the NATO build-up along the Ukraine-Russia border is a military operation. So my title is correct.
    1
  5595. It's not 'misinformation', it's a series of theories, some more plausible than others, that can be debated. So many people seem to have no critical thinking faculties these days!

  5596. Casualties caused by accidents are counted in military operations - and the current NATO activities in Poland and Romania and many other nations constitute a clear military operation in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Therefore, my title is fully justified.

  5598. Idiot!
    1
  5599. What a childish reply - try watching the video, you might learn something.
    1
  5600. Losses from accidents are also counted in active military operations, and the NATO build-up in Eastern Europe along the Ukraine border is an active military operation.
    1
  5601. Non-battle casualties are counted in military operations - and the NATO build-up along the Ukraine-Russia border is a military operation. So my title is correct.
    1
  5602. The MiG-21 is still in service in over a dozen air forces, not to mention to Chinese licence-built Chengde-7.

  5612. I've made several WW2 videos recently, but the viewing figures indicate that people are more interested in the current war.
    1
  5613. Please point out exactly the Russian propaganda in this video - if you think that mentioning ALL of the theories circulating about this incident makes me a propagandist, you might want to go back to school. Your comment is very, very insulting and displays a severe lack of critical thinking, which is a common problem these days.
    1
  5614. I present a series of widely-discussed theories - it's called 'critical thinking' for those who missed that class at university.
    1
  5615. Russian media made these claims - look them up for yourself.
    1
  5616. Losses from accidents are also counted in active military operations, and the NATO build-up in Eastern Europe along the Ukraine border is an active military operation.
    1
  5617. I object to your unjustified attack on my work! I have carefully presented the differing viewpoints on what happened so that viewers can make up their own minds. You know no more than anyone else.

  5618. Non-battle casualties are counted in military operations - and the NATO build-up along the Ukraine-Russia border is a military operation. So my title is correct.

    1
  5625. It was 70km from the border. And there were no 'lies' in the video, you just lack analytical skills.
    1
  5626. You, sir, are a complete cretin if you can't see the difference before analysing all the current theories about this incident and propaganda. Get an education.
    1
  5627. Interesting

  5628. Non-battle casualties are counted in military operations - and the NATO build-up along the Ukraine-Russia border is a military operation. So my title is correct.
    1
  5629. It's called analysis. I have presented several theories concerning the crashes, the Russian claims being only one theory. You can then decide which is most likely.
    1
  5630. Watch video again and listen this time - I simply sum up all the arguments currently surrounding this event.

  5631. Non-battle casualties are counted in military operations - and the NATO build-up along the Ukraine-Russia border is a military operation. So my title is correct.

  5632. A historian is supposed to examine all sides of the argument. I can't say what happened to them, as you may have noticed the Romanian investigation is still ongoing.
    1
  5633. Followed by a modern helicopter a few minutes later - surprising indeed.

  5637. I said Sukhoi 27 Flanker.
    1
  5638. Bormann was rather wide!
    1
  5639. Yup, I was surprised by that when I found out - she married a British Army officer stationed in Germany.
    1
  5640. You'll find out in due course.
    1
  5641. If you watch the video, I explain why.
    1
  5642. Enjoy!
    1
  5643. Thanks for the visit
    1
  5644. I'm so glad!

    1
  5648. There are several on YouTube
    1
  5649. No problem!
    1
  5650. I know, but this is an English-language channel, so its Nuremberg, Munich, Vienna and not Nuernberg, Muenchen and Wien.
    1
  5651. I appreciate that!
    1
  5652. My pleasure!
    1
  5653. The American don't use umlauts above the 'o', instead writing it as 'oe' to make the same sound.
    1
  5654. Thanks 👍
    1
  5655. Glad it was helpful!
    1
  5656. Glad you like them!
    1
  5657. So nice of you
    1
  5658. You also received quite a number of former Ukrainian SS concentration camp guards and Hungarian Ustache.
    1
  5659. I have accurately reported what occurred - if you don't believe me, do your own research to prove me wrong.
    1
  5660. Yes
    1
  5661. Thanks!!
    1
  5662. I think it includes the time from his arrest, time on remand and the time the trial took, then his imprisonment.

  5667. Thanks
    1
  5668. Thank you
    1
  5669. Thanks
    1
  5670. That's incredibly kind. Either PayPal or Patreon, should you wish to do so. Many thanks.
    1
  5671. One tries
    1
  5672. They were, they decided to leave shortly after the Irish Guards popped over.
    1
  5673. Good point.
    1
  5674. He was awarded the Wound Badge in Gold due to his several wounds.
    1
  5675. Great - there's over 20 books to choose from.
    1
  5676. I've been an author for 16 years - I came to YouTube rather late!
    1
  5677. Thanks - I think
    1
  5678. Now Kriegsmarine songs - 'U-boote am Feind' and 'Torpedo los'
    1
  5679. My pleasure
    1
  5680. Thank you
    1
  5681. I take your point, but I think you are too critical of me. Though Canadian troops formed the majority of the landing force, it was Royal Navy vessels (33 sunk) that took them to Dieppe, Royal Air Force planes that provided aerial support (106 lost) and lets not forget that 1,000 British Commandos also landed beside their Canadian brothers, with 247 becoming casualties. Though Dieppe was predominantly a Canadian affair on the ground, describing it as an 'Anglo-Canadian Raid' is perfectly accurate and a statement of historical fact.
    1
  5682. Obviously, but thanks for pointing it out!
    1
  5683. Seeing as Hitler finally abandoned the proposed invasion of Britain on 24 September 1941 BEFORE the US entered WWII, your argument is nonsense.
    1
  5684. Well, you can easily look it up. Panzerwerfer was an armoured vehicle mounting a Nebelwerfer rocket system. The plural is 'Panzerwerfen'.
    1
  5685. ?
    1
  5686. Post-Stalingrad
    1
  5687. Funnily enough, Walter Monckton was a close advisor to the Duke of Windsor.
    1
  5688. It's certainly a possibility, though at the moment unprovable due to closed files.
    1
  5689. Some of them - 1943.
    1
  5690. Much of it has been in the public domain for some time. Academics are well aware of it.
    1
  5691. it is not real film - merely a recreation from the early 1920s. If you think about where the cameras are placed, it's obvious.
    1
  5692. In WWII, they used the term 'Oh' instead of 'Zero'. Today it's 'Zero'.
    1
  5693. Glad you think so!
    1
  5694. So nice of you
    1
  5695. You are so kind
    1
  5696. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  5697. It doesn't - it comments about the propaganda.
    1
  5698. You're very welcome!

  5700. What parts of my video did I make up? Everything happened as I said it did, for the stated reasons. Sounds like you have a problem with someone discussing historical events that don't fit with your world view or politics.
    1
  5701. I said exactly that at the beginning of my video - suggest you watch and listen.
    1
  5702. Already have.
    1
  5703. I'm not making 'the history of Western civilisation' but a video about the Hungarian Revolution. I suggest you either read about these other historical events or make your own videos I can critique.
    1
  5704. What did I say in the video that wasn't true? It's history.
    1
  5705. Look again, there were plenty of SS in the clips.
    1
  5706. Paulus wasn't a 'von' - a common mistake that has been repeated by many historians down the decades.
    1
  5707. It's actually an American Smith & Wesson .38 Special and currently on display at West Point.
    1
  5708. The F1 fuse makes a distinctive pop sound, then it blows up and kills you in an explosion 4 seconds later!
    1
  5709. Yes
    1
  5710. Not quite - look it up
    1
  5711. As most of my viewers are Americans, I'm not sure the viewing figures would be worth it. Every time I do anything British or Commonwealth, the figures take a dive!
    1
  5712. But thanks for watching anyway!
    1
  5713. Welcome!!
    1
  5714. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  5715. I have barely scratched the surface!
    1
  5716. Don't worry, they had lost their honour long before butchering civilians aboard ships and deliberately drowning civilians and prisoners. It is all detailed in my book 'Slaughter at Sea' published in 2007.
    1
  5717. Its the sound of a flamethrower.
    1
  5718. Due to low viewing figures for the first two episodes, I'm in two minds whether to make it.
    1
  5719. I never said 'Lieutenant' was an RAF rank. If you listened, I clearly say that Strever was seconded to the RAF from the SAAF, which used army style ranks. Hence he was Lieutenant Strever, and wore two pips on his shoulders rather than RAF rank badges.
    1
  5720. You can find it in iMovie
    1
  5721. Degrelle said Hitler said that - but Degrelle was an effective self-propagandist so I'd take it with a pinch of salt. He claimed Tintin was based on himself, whereas his friend Herge said it was actually Herge's brother.
    1
  5722. Hope you enjoy the book!
    1
  5723. No, the German Army would have fought on much more competently, and probably brought the Allies to the negotiating table. The conspirators who tried to kill Hitler intended to install a conservative military government in Germany.
    1
  5724. The same reason Ian Kershaw is - we are historians.
    1
  5725. It was Hitler's personal bodyguard unit - you are thinking of the SD.
    1
  5726. I've experienced 46 Celsius at a rest stop outside the Chinese city of Nanjing a few years ago - at least that was what my car thermometer recorded, and it was damned hot!
    1
  5727. Weight vs fuel
    1
  5728. I believe you are right. Just a few fragments recovered.
    1
  5729. All Hitler's limos were open-topped.
    1
  5730. I've seen it myself.
    1
  5731. Rolls-Royce
    1
  5732. That pennant has nothing to do with the car - its not accurate. Normally, the leaders used their own personalised flag.
    1
  5733. The fleet was upgraded to Mercedes 770s, but the 540s continued in service as well.
    1
  5734. I've written 22 books, so you'll have to be more specific.
    1
  5735. The three 540Ks used by Hitler had lengthened wheelbases and are very big. I think a couple survive in museums.
    1
  5736. It helps according to tests
    1
  5737. I didn't know that, but suspected it.
    1
  5738. I do have to say that Seyss-Inquart has the look of a complete bastard - cold, clinical gaze.
    1
  5739. The Spruce Goose flew in 1947!
    1
  5740. Great stories!
    1
  5741. The Spruce Goose didn't fly until 1947.
    1
  5742. 1947
    1
  5743. No, but the Spruce Goose didn't fly until 1947.
    1
  5744. 1947
    1
  5745. Yes, we have a few.
    1
  5746. That's tremendous - many thanks for the heads up!
    1
  5747. Happy Birthday!
    1
  5748. Thanks for your support
    1
  5749. Its a hard one for non-German speakers! My apologies if I've confused anyone.
    1
  5750. Tested then scrapped as far as I know
    1
  5751. Many thanks
    1
  5752. Thanks

    1
  5759. Thanks
    1
  5760. Will do
    1
  5761. Some sort of ear protection a must
    1
  5762. I'll look into that
    1
  5763. I try my best - thanks for your support
    1
  5764. I was referring only to the Western Front, not Asia. I specifically mentioned this.
    1
  5765. Correct
    1
  5766. I think it was a photo taken by the Danish contingent in Iraq.
    1
  5767. But where is their 'safe place' in a Nazi building?
    1
  5768. The main doors require a security card to enter. Not very 'public'.
    1
  5769. He can contact me here: hello@markfelton.co.uk
    1
  5770. Italian
    1
  5771. I've already made two.
    1
  5772. Same to you!
    1
  5773. Same to you!
    1
  5774. The name was re-used in 1945.
    1
  5775. Many thanks!
    1
  5776. Same to you!
    1
  5777. I always do.
    1
  5778. Actually, their first actions were in Poland in 1939!
    1
  5779. They were planning to attack Malta, but you are right - the Crete operation put paid to that.
    1
  5780. Enjoy!
    1
  5781. hello@markfelton.co.uk
    1
  5782. They captured the Moerdijk Bridges in similar fashion.
    1
  5783. They ended up in POW camps in Germany, Austria and Slovenia.
    1
  5784. They were called "Bombay Bloomers" - standard British Imperial tropical wear from India.
    1
  5785. I can assure you that all footage and photographs show American Alligators.
    1
  5786. I've done a video about the British WW1 tanks the Germans took from a museum and used as pillboxes during the Battle of Berlin.
    1
  5787. He wasn't much of a talker apparently.
    1
  5788. Very welcome
    1
  5789. Many, many things.
    1
  5790. Captain Cook's tortoise.
    1
  5791. There was the enormous Zoo Flak Tower close by.
    1
  5792. Thanks for that!
    1
  5793. I beg your pardon!
    1
  5794. A huge amount.
    1
  5795. If you saw how the Germans treated Soviet POWs, you would understand why.
    1
  5796. You also spotted what I did!
    1
  5797. Actually, the logo already existed - Saturn was simply co-opted into the organisation.
    1
  5798. Hello!

    1
  5805. They altered the German train at the border
    1
  5806. None were ever attacked.
    1
  5807. Pedantic
    1
  5808. Sod off!
    1
  5809. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  5810. Thanks!
    1
  5811. To get you moving!
    1
  5812. Very welcome
    1
  5813. Thanks!
    1
  5814. More to come!
    1
  5815. Yes, I've heard many of them are.
    1
  5816. Thank you very much!
    1
  5817. Thanks! 👍
    1
  5818. I was referring to deranged criminals who have committed crimes such as multiple or serial murder, not people who are in hospital for mental problems. Secure mental hospitals are prisons for the criminally insane.
    1
  5819. Well, it's a video about sirens, so you're going to have to.
    1
  5820. Damn - it was reported that they had all been removed.
    1
  5821. Thanks for sharing!!
    1
  5822. Sensible country
    1
  5823. Thanks a lot!
    1
  5824. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  5825. Blast! Missed a trick there!
    1
  5826. I imagine its already been made save by bomb disposal officers - but, yes, they got on with it without the need for a safety net.
    1
  5827. Thanks for the info!
    1
  5828. I understood Broadmoor to be a place where the worst sorts of criminally insane people are incarcerated under stout lock and key. The sirens were in place specifically because one of them escaped in the past and murdered a little girl in the vicinity.
    1
  5829. I'm not panicked or beaten...I'm carrying on, calmly.
    1
  5830. Much appreciated
    1
  5831. Yes - see the link in the video description box and visit!
    1
  5832. The house is open to the public - but most of the military collection is not.
    1
  5833. Probably not - as I said in the video, I hope they display more of these to the public.
    1
  5834. He stood about 5'6" tall.

  5867. Many thanks - it would be great if you would consider supporting me on Patreon for only $1 a month: https://www.patreon.com/markfeltonproductions
    1
  5868. Thank you
    1
  5869. A pleasure
    1
  5870. You can watch some great documentaries as your television melts.
    1
  5871. Brilliant - the first thing that will cease functioning in a national emergency is the mobile phone system. And what about people who don't use them, such as the elderly, or like me, forget to charge them? And will anyone even believe such a message - I'd think it was a hoax.
    1
  5872. You completely misunderstand the video, and its aim - which is to educate and inform. You need to get a grip.
    1
  5873. I'm just up the road in Norfolk, so I think we'll all go together!
    1
  5874. Which is what I said - part of a NATO-Russia war.
    1
  5875. No, they don't. They would come in via the far north.
    1
  5876. Okay ostrich.
    1
  5877. Her Majesty's Treasury are the usual culprits.
    1
  5878. The problem are the planes - they are so complex and over-engineered that they require proper bases to be maintained. It's not 1940, and basing a flight of Spits at the local flying club.
    1
  5879. Why feckless and treasonous. The information is all in the public domain and debated by experts. You'd rather pretend nothing could happen, instead of planning for the worst and hoping for the best? I'm not trying to be 'clever', I'm trying to educate people!
    1
  5880. Suggest you familiarise yourself with MAD
    1
  5881. They are flying training mission for the new Chilean owners.
    1
  5882. People forget that the Royal Navy lost two destroyers and two frigates to an Air Force flying antiquated planes with yesterdays technology. What happened in the Falklands caused a significant reevaluation of air defences.
    1
  5883. Off to your safe space!
    1
  5884. Well, apparently no one guessed that Putin would launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
    1
  5885. Off to your safe place!
    1
  5886. I'm not stirring people up, I'm considering possible outcomes if we get ourselves involved in Ukraine. There is an enormous difference.
    1
  5887. Finally, someone spotted it!
    1
  5888. If you are happy believing that.
    1
  5889. I didn't say a Russian first strike - rather, a strike as part of a wider European war triggered by a NATO-enforced no-fly zone over Ukraine.
    1
  5890. I'm not sure that F-15s would have any more success against cruise missiles than Typhoons would.
    1
  5891. My premise was an attack on Britain by Russia AFTER a war with NATO has already broken out on the Ukraine issue. Not the other way round.
    1
  5892. Such an attack would only come if we are already fighting the Russians over Ukraine etc.
    1
  5893. So, prove me wrong then.
    1
  5894. Yes, but they are no longer operational and doing their original jobs. The MoD has confirmed this.
    1
  5895. Sky Sabre is not fully operational yet, so Rapier is still in service. You also do some research!
    1
  5896. Try watching the video before rushing to judgement - I raise valid points that have been previously raised by defence analysts.
    1
  5897. What an unintelligent statement. Suggest you read up on British naval deployments globally and other threats we have to worry about. For example, ships and Typhoons are not based in the Falklands for no good reason.
    1
  5898. You have misunderstood the entire video - its premise is that NATO is already at war and Russia then attacks the UK with cruise missiles. What I have outlined are theories already extensively discussed in print by military analysts and journalists who know more about this subject than I.
    1
  5899. Get to your safe space, that's an order!
    1
  5900. My video references a Russian attack AFTER a no-fly zone has drawn NATO into a conflict with Moscow.
    1
  5901. I made it to try and wake people up to the poor state of our preparedness for war with Russia, should our politicians decide to put us into one.
    1
  5902. Considering that the RAF will be a major player in any European war, attacking us at home makes perfect sense - to damage our ability to prosecute the war and erode civilian support for such a war.
    1
  5903. So, when all the other NATO countries are fighting in Europe against the Russians, these tiny militaries (US excluded) will be helping to defend the UK? I think not.
    1
  5904. I'm analysing current events, moron.
    1
  5905. Torpedoes aren't a lot of use against ASW aircraft.
    1
  5906. Look up what happened in Saudi Arabia recently regarding a cruise missile attack.
    1
  5907. Why would we do likewise by attacking Russia? We are on the knife edge.
    1
  5908. Why would a handful of old USAF F-15s be any better at detecting and shooting down multiple cruise missiles than the latest RAF Typhoons?
    1
  5909. Then if that's the case, you can sleep easy tonight deary.
    1
  5910. If you are comforted by those thoughts, then I'm happy for you.
    1
  5911. Clearly, you need to look up the term 'MAD'.
    1
  5912. Our nuclear deterrent is aboard a series of submarines, one of which is constantly at sea. So I imagine the UK will wait and see.
    1
  5913. Not really. That's a fallacy. Politicians would probably try to contain an escalation otherwise it's game over for everyone.
    1
  5914. I wasn't going into that level of unnecessary detail.
    1
  5915. They don't need to come anywhere near us - look up the ranges of Russian cruise missiles!
    1
  5916. Grow up.
    1
  5917. I didn't say unprovoked - I was referring to what might happen once the UK is engaged in an air war over Ukraine.
    1
  5918. Me too, that's why I'm not 'warmongering', I'm analysing threats and the reality we are all currently in.
    1
  5919. I recently made a VS video
    1
  5920. I am already Dr. Felton and have been so since receiving my PhD in 2006
    1
  5921. Yes
    1
  5922. One was made of glass.
    1
  5923. Who is this "Merk Feelton", sounds like an intriguing chap?
    1
  5924. Thank you
    1
  5925. He was created Prince of Bismarck, a non-royal prince, in 1871. Read a book.
    1
  5926. Thanks for watching
    1
  5927. Thanks
    1
  5928. They did
    1
  5929. I believe about a dozen were actually made - Goring had a replacement made after his original was destroyed by Allied bombing. The rest were presumably made in case of further awards to other individuals. This means there are several authentic Grand Crosses in circulation today.
    1
  5930. No, Idi Amin only managed a Victoria Cross.
    1
  5931. Wait to you watch my video on his batons.
    1
  5932. I didn't stretch the film - it was already like that. I agree that the aspect ratio in incorrect, but sensible people should be able to tell the difference without being told.
    1
  5933. ...ouch!
    1
  5934. Actually, looking at photos and film of Goring with Hitler, I'd say Goring was around 5'8". I think the Americans measured him with his boots on!
    1
  5935. Many thanks!
    1
  5936. The map shows French influence rather than just colonial boundaries.
    1
  5937. Clearly, you didn't watch the video.
    1
  5938. Maybe I’ll stick to the Germans from now on.
    1
  5939. Actually, early Italian visitors to China brought back the idea of noodles and dumplings to Europe, and made instead of pasta became spaghetti and ravioli etc.
    1
  5940. It shows the 'areas of influence' of the Western Powers in China in the early 1900s, as well as formal colonies. You, sir, are the idiot.
    1
  5941. Spheres of influence map.
    1
  5942. The map shows foreign areas of influence as well as colonial boundaries.
    1
  5943. I suggest you watch the video and listen this time. Might also try reading - this is not secret information!
    1
  5944. The U-boats were taken over by the Japanese and the Germans were interned until the Japanese surrender.
    1
  5945. It shows 'areas of influence' as well as formal colonies etc.
    1
  5946. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  5947. Yet you took the time to share your charming thought with me - how kind.
    1
  5948. Until they changed sides, then the gloves came off. Did you watch the actual video?
    1
  5949. You think I don't know that? It's far simpler to use the current names than verbally translating backwards and forwards.
    1
  5950. Thanks, will do!
    1
  5951. History
    1
  5952. great idea!
    1
  5953. Spheres of influence
    1
  5954. They surrendered without any resistance on 8 December 1941 and were made prisoners until 1945.
    1
  5955. Wrote about them in my first book 'Yanagi' back in 2004.
    1
  5956. I've actually been inside that building when I lived in Shanghai.
    1
  5957. The map shows 'areas of influence' rather than complete colonial control.
    1
  5958. Not yet
    1
  5959. Areas of influence rather than colonial boundaries
    1
  5960. Areas of foreign influence as well as colonies.
    1
  5961. Thanks
    1
  5962. They do
    1
  5963. I have already made a video about the Azov Battalion
    1
  5964. Its in the description box
    1
  5965. Try to spell the word I'm thinking of in relation to you at this moment.
    1
  5966. Topical
    1
  5967. British-English
    1
  5968. ?
    1
  5969. Actually, disorientated is the British-English and therefore older pronunciation and spelling of the word. Oxford English Dictionary if you don't believe me my American friend.
    1
  5970. She was heavily armoured to withstand the large calibre shells used when she was constructed in the pre-missile 1930s.
    1
  5971. It comes from German sources - specifically the memoir of 6th Panzer Division commander General Erhard Raus.
    1
  5972. No, a nasty cold voice.
    1
  5973. The story was based on the reports of General Erhard Raus, commander of the 6th PANZER Division, my historically-challenged friend.
    1
  5974. Thanks
    1
  5975. A pleasure
    1
  5976. Thanks
    1
  5977. A pleasure
    1
  5978. My pleasure
    1
  5979. High praise indeed!
    1
  5980. Do remember he went down with the ship like the gentleman that he was.
    1
  5981. Do remember he went down with the ship like the gentleman that he was.
    1
  5982. Very kind of you to say - please share
    1
  5983. No
    1
  5984. Thanks - I'm in another French documentary, this time on Hitler's security, soon to be appearing on Netflix.
    1
  5985. Thank you
    1
  5986. Many thanks
    1

  5994. I'm re-watching it again at the moment - it is excellent.
    1
  5995. https://www.nature.com/articles/440982a
    1
  5996. I didn't say 'nuclear explosion' - I was referring to the pressure explosion in the reactor.
    1
  5997. I never said 'nuclear bomb' - I said 'a bomb', referring to a massive pressure explosion.
    1
  5998. Read the 'Nature' article on the long-term deaths, still ongoing, from Chernobyl - it is in the thousands.
    1
  5999. Thank you!
    1
  6000. No problem 👍
    1
  6001. Too inaccurate for use against anything other than huge cities.
    1
  6002. Thanks for the sub!
    1
  6003. The 'crew' would be me as its a one-man operation! Thanks.
    1
  6004. Good question - Science Museum in London I should imagine.
    1
  6005. Enemy action.
    1

  6014. Thanks for watching
    1
  6015. We had invaded in 1943 and controlled about half at the time.
    1
  6016. The Germans spent $3 billion on developing Vengeance weapons (V-1,-2, and -3) whereas the Manhattan Project cost $2 billion.
    1
  6017. Glad you like them!
    1
  6018. Very welcome
    1
  6019. Glad you liked it!

    1
  6021. Yes
    1
  6022. Watch the video
    1
  6023. Yes, Malta was heavily bombed with these bomblets - last person killed by one was in early 2000s.
    1
  6024. I think .22 ammo was used.
    1
  6025. Thanks

  6034. You are too kind
    1
  6035. And thank you for subscribing, much appreciated
    1
  6036. No, it isn't. It's a German surname, an 'e' on the end being pronounced as an 'a'.
    1
  6037. Definitely
    1
  6038. I know - used for comedic effect!
    1
  6039. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  6040. Look up 'Vichy France'.
    1
  6041. Because my video was about the French SS - it's called being specific.
    1
  6042. I don't do fairy tales
    1
  6043. Welcome aboard!
    1
  6044. I did - and now its too late to change!!!!
    1
  6045. Yes, they did - I made a video about it.
    1
  6046. How so - what part of the content was uninteresting or inaccurate?
    1
  6047. So you feel that my recent videos are valueless from the historical perspective?
    1
  6048. "Sod off - do it now!"
    1
  6049. A Tallboy.
    1
  6050. Yes
    1
  6051. Correct
    1
  6052. All his medals are with the Hohenzollern family - only a few bits and pieces remain at Doorn - see my forthcoming video 'Inside the Kaiser's Closet' for more information!
    1
  6053. I have added a credit in the description. Thanks for contacting me.
    1
  6054. Prussia's Glory
    1
  6055. See the link in the description box.
    1
  6056. Actually, I am working on a video about that very subject for release quite soon.
    1
  6057. I think you need to realise that the job of the historian is not to present his/her personal opinion, but to present and analyse what actually occurred. I am not required to 'make a stand', but instead I stand by my analysis of what was said and done. As I said in the video, Wilhelm's stance towards the Nazis was contradictory and some might say opportunistic.
    1
  6058. Thanks - but this video is actually seriously under-performing compared with normal viewing figures for my work. It's a shame.
    1
  6059. For hundreds of years French was the lingua franca of the European royal courts and diplomacy. Some British orders of knighthood carry French mottos as well as Latin.
    1
  6060. So nice of you
    1
  6061. Thank you kindly!
    1
  6062. Prussia's Glory and Yorckscher Marsch.
    1
  6063. I used two - Prussia's Glory and Yorckscher Marsch
    1
  6064. Prussia's Glory

    1
  6066. You too. Thanks for following the channel.

    1
  6068. Good one!
    1
  6069. Many thanks.
    1
  6070. Goering had multiple copies of his decorations for wear with various uniforms. A lot was stolen at the end of the war.

  6078. This is how you pronounce old money - pounds, shillings and pence. Here's a breakdown for you free of charge so you can cut the sarcasm: quarter of 1 pence = farthing half of 1 pence = ha'penny (pronounced hay penny) one pence = penny two pence = tuppence three pence = thruppence four pence = fourpenny bit or groat six pence = tanner twelve pence = shilling two shillings (24 pence) = florin two shillings six pence (30 pence) = half crown five shillings (60 pence) = crown etc.
    1
  6079. Yes
    1
  6080. Will go live tomorrow!

    1
  6087. Fantastic
    1
  6088. Much of the alleged Byrd material has been faked or taken out of context by conspiracy theorists.
    1
  6089. Thanks - about time, I thought
    1
  6090. Thanks, so do I!
    1
  6091. Thanks
    1
  6092. Precisely!

  6093. You need to have a PayPal account to log in to PayPal. That may be the problem.
    1
  6094. Thanks
    1
  6095. Thanks
    1
  6096. The Byrd diary has been elaborated to stoke conspiracy theories. Anyone with common sense and an idea of German naval capabilities would realise that a Nazi Antarctic base is no more likely than one on the Moon. I blame the mainstream media that have abandoned making history programmes in favour of shows whose basis is fringe conspiracy nonsense dressed up as 'fact'. No historian worth his salt has ever uncovered credible evidence for Nazi UFOs, secret Antarctic or Moon bases or Nazi zombies. There are enough fascinating WWII mysteries based in reality that have yet to be properly examined.
    1
  6097. Thanks
    1
  6098. Thank you
    1
  6099. No, they didn't. I haven't seen any records of such aircraft arriving in Argentina.
    1
  6100. Also in my garage - in a smaller crate
    1
  6101. Thanks
    1
  6102. A gift from the Soviets whom she met at one point at the end of the war.
    1
  6103. Because of its association with the Nazis, even though they merely carried on a much older German tradition.
    1
  6104. I've already dealt with the Rhine Meadows Camps
    1
  6105. Yes, 50 worn out old destroyers as part of Lend-Lease.
    1
  6106. Noted
    1
  6107. Noted
    1
  6108. Yup - noticed I started changing the name half way through the video. Duh!
    1
  6109. Watch the video before commenting!
    1
  6110. Yes it did - it was a deception operation against the Germans.
    1
  6111. I know, I filmed Hawg Wild myself. Loved Duxford since I was a kid.
    1
  6112. I will
    1
  6113. I saw the new building being built when I was last in Berlin.
    1
  6114. Thanks for telling me - don't forget to unsubscribe as well.
    1
  6115. Yes, it's an interesting story.
    1
  6116. I did a whole series on my other channel!
    1
  6117. Thanks! You too!
    1
  6118. Flying boat bombers come under a different category and future video!
    1
  6119. It is.
    1
  6120. Yes, look them up.
    1
  6121. The Wellington is classified as a 'long-range medium bomber'.
    1
  6122. No, it wasn't. It was classified as a 'heavy'.
    1
  6123. Sorry, but the He III is listed as a heavy bomber. I don't make the rules.
    1
  6124. Already have - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sM756wvUxPU
    1
  6125. Considering that the Type XXIII only carried 2 torpedoes, I think I'm correct.
    1
  6126. Covered in my very first book in 2005 - Yanagi
    1
  6127. No, it doesn't rate a mention in a video that specifically deals with the events of 7 May 1945. Perhaps in another video in the future.
    1
  6128. It will be made in the future
    1
  6129. Neither Maus that was built went operational.
    1
  6130. The bridges were small and I think they didn't want to kill too many French in the process.
    1
  6131. The Allies.
    1
  6132. Some still serve, but all of these reserve units have always had a pretty eclectic mix of types.
    1
  6133. My explanation in the video is what officially occurred according to the IAEA.
    1
  6134. So, Lusitania and the deaths of 128 US passengers was a contributing factor.
    1
  6135. Prussia's Glory
    1
  6136. Yes, but US passenger deaths were one contributing factor to the US eventually joining against Germany, along with the Zimmermann Telegram etc.
    1
  6137. That's because I'm a human cyborg
    1
  6138. I thought Coco Chanel was a bit right wing?

  6145. Always a pleasure

  6146. Yes, we gave them the Rolls-Royce jet engine in a moment of staggering stupidity - but at least it made the next four decades of the Cold War interesting!
    1
  6147. A pleasure sir
    1
  6148. I already have many years ago
    1
  6149. You don't know how to fast forward a video then?
    1
  6150. I've also made a video about the American Constabulary in Germany - the 'Circle C Cowboys'.
    1
  6151. It's interesting that the people who keep picking me up on pronouncing words are always Swedes, and always so wonderfully direct about it! The name is 'Angermanelfven'.

  6153. Yes, he boots were torn off by baling out and he landed inside a rubbish bin after sliding off a roof!
    1
  6154. Thanks very much!
    1
  6155. No, in the RAF there were Sergeant Pilots. I believe that the Luftwaffe even had corporals who were pilots?
    1
  6156. I know - I. misspoke - Quesada was promoted later to Lt. Gen. and I was thinking of that.

  6158. Read this, which I list in my description: http://www.354thpmfg.com/media_thestarslookdown_pt1.html

  6159. The French Army fought with the US 6th Army Group to the end of the war in Europe.
    1
  6160. Thanks

  6169. Currently in production!
    1
  6170. So kind
    1
  6171. Thanks
    1
  6172. Yes, a great site.
    1
  6173. Debatable but you never know

  6180. It's a term used since the war to refer to the German bombing campaign of 1940-41 against cities and towns. You are thinking of 'blitzkrieg', a term used in Britain to refer to the German invasions of France and the Low Countries in 1940.
    1
  6181. I imagine it's to do with money - hopefully, kind benefactors will eventually enable them to get it under cover.
    1
  6182. Yes - famously there is a Lancaster sticking out of a lake, among others.
    1
  6183. Sadly, I missed that one when I was last in Berlin. Looks interesting. I did see some Luftwaffe planes at the Technical Museum.
    1
  6184. The Luftwaffe bombed Dublin - they mistook it for Belfast.
    1
  6185. It's for illustration only. I don't think anyone took a photo of the Fair Isle Heinkel shortly after the crash.
    1
  6186. Last time I saw it, it was at Duxford.
    1
  6187. Have you staged a poll yet to check?
    1
  6188. It's mother reported it missing.
    1
  6189. Now that would be the kind of thing that got me out looking on my bike when I was a youngster. My mates and I did try to dig up wreckage from a Junkers 88 in a farmer's field one hot summer - but without a metal detector we just ended up digging holes!
    1
  6190. Quite true
    1
  6191. Lundy Island

  6192. FilmHauer - links in the description box
    1
  6193. My pleasure!
    1
  6194. Thank you kindly
    1
  6195. Many thanks!
    1
  6196. Thanks 👍
    1
  6197. Glad it was helpful!
    1
  6198. Thanks
    1
  6199. Glad you enjoyed it!
    1
  6200. Appreciate that
    1
  6201. Very welcome
    1
  6202. You are very welcome
    1
  6203. About what - do enlighten me?
    1
  6204. Witnesses (other friendly aircraft), some planes were two-seaters so each other's testimony (and lying was very ungentlemanly and shameful), and ground wreckage if the enemy plane or balloon was spotted by friendly troops.
    1
  6205. Those were barrage balloon - unmanned balloons holding aloft anti-aircraft cables. Also a common sight over British cities.
    1
  6206. Bit harsh - I've never heard the French decoration pronounced any other way!
    1
  6207. Because if you really research the subject, it is clear that the bullet that killed Richthofen entered his body from below, but Brown made one steep diving attack on Richthofen from high above as the Red Baron was attacking Wop May's aircraft. Along with lots of corroborating evidence, its pretty clear that he was killed by ground fire. Richthofen's plane continued to fly aggressively after Wop May immediately following Brown's diving attack, which Richthofen would not have been able to do had Brown fatally wounded him with the single .303 bullet that ultimately killed him. Then Richthofen's plane was seen to stagger and crash land after being fired on at a very low level by Australian machine gunners, ending his attack on May's plane. I believe Richthofen was killed by Sergeant Cedric Popkin.
    1
  6208. Just a sample - the programme is not a history of WW1 aces.
    1
  6209. Lots of my videos have nothing to do with Nazis - suggest you check my programme lists.
    1
  6210. Slip of the tongue - meant Central Powers
    1
  6211. Many thanks.
    1
  6212. Yes, I am left-handed. Well spotted.
    1
  6213. It was my first, so go easy!
    1
  6214. If its a postwar M1, that's a rather steep price.
    1
  6215. Glad to be of service
    1
  6216. You will
    1
  6217. Yes, same regiment. Now amalgamated into The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards.
    1
  6218. I loved that series - got Michael Caine's autograph shortly after.
    1
  6219. As far as I know, only Kim Jong Il can control the weather.
    1
  6220. They did. As mentioned in the video, we have to go through airport style security checks.
    1
  6221. Not the point though, is it.
    1
  6222. Didn't I see you glaring contemptuously at me in the throne room? I must say, with such typing skills you are clearly wasted cleaning visitor's pee off the pile carpets. I think promotion to the Press Office is in order.
    1
  6223. Hi Jeff, what ladies shoes do you wear on walking tours?
    1
  6224. Might want to look at that in more detail.
    1
  6225. Expect more in future.
    1
  6226. Very kind offer - can you drop me an email at the following address: hello@markfelton.co.uk
    1
  6227. They must have swapped the staff over since Monday!
    1
  6228. Largely American audience
    1
  6229. Look harder
    1
  6230. Yet they manage proper conveniences at The Tower of London, a medieval castle. Your argument doesn't hold water.
    1
  6231. Where do you think the government gets the money from to pay the King his civil list (now Sovereign Grant) payment? I didn't see any money trees growing in the Buckingham Palace Gardens.
    1
  6232. Then don't open it to the public - problem solved.
    1
  6233. You might want to look harder at the Crown Estates issue etc.
    1
  6234. No, it was licenced to the USSR.
    1
  6235. Thank you kindly!
    1
  6236. Some of the footage is actually from Operation Oyster, filmed for propaganda reasons by the RAF.
    1
  6237. Different raid.
    1
  6238. My pleasure!
    1
  6239. Thanks for your review and a great plug. Much appreciated!
    1
  6240. Damn - I was hoping it was for the content!
    1
  6241. Apparently the propellers caused stability problems - it was noted to be unstable at tree top level.
    1
  6242. Thank you very much!
    1
  6243. Correct.
    1
  6244. Crews were inexperienced.
    1
  6245. Bomber Harris was very much against precision raids - he often labelled them suicide jobs. My new book 'The Bridge Busters' covers this very well.
    1
  6246. Chain of command
    1
  6247. As I said, this video is not about the history of Kosovo and all that stuff. You don't need me to tell you that, do you.
    1
  6248. Banging the ground invasion DRUM the loudest
    1
  6249. Never heard of nuclear weapons - I believe the Russians had a few in all sorts of colours and flavours.
    1
  6250. Only briefly called a 'terrorist organisation'. The Americans then sided with it fully.
    1
  6251. Yet you keep inviting us to every party you plan.
    1
  6252. Briefly, yes.
    1
  6253. The Soviets didn't have nuclear weapons in 1945.
    1
  6254. I think the 1 million US soldiers that entered the conflict certainly helped to rejuvenate the Entente. The US Army won some notable victories on the Western Front and don't forget that over 116,000 American servicemen died on active service in Europe.
    1
  6255. It's not 'propaganda' - these are facts clearly known and reported as such. They simply happened.
    1
  6256. Also aids promotion, and therefore better pay and greater responsibilities.
    1
  6257. I have trained lecturers in the past.
    1
  6258. No.
    1
  6259. As most of my viewers are from the United States followed by the UK, I think Imperial measurements make more sense.
    1
  6260. Thanks. I've actually already appeared on two AHC documentaries!
    1
  6261. I appreciate that!
    1
  6262. The Germans dropped 60,000 tons of bombs on Britain during the war - in return the RAF and USAAF dropped over 1 million tons on Germany. As Bomber Harris commented: "They sowed the wind, now they will reap the whirlwind."
    1
  6263. I've already made a video about the German's Indian Legion.
    1
  6264. Because German dams were protected by anti-torpedo nets!
    1
  6265. Thanks! Will do!
    1
  6266. Custer certainly commanded the 7th at the Battle of Little Bighorn - he was the ranking 7th officer on the field and in the expedition. Col. Sturgis was not present or on campaign.
    1
  6267. I think the latter.
    1
  6268. You may be confusing this with a German weather station in Greenland?
    1
  6269. Check out my video all about this subject on War Stories with Mark Felton
    1
  6270. 'March of Midnight' by Scott Buckley
    1
  6271. I don't think there were many housemaids in the trenches!
    1
  6272. Let's hope so!
    1
  6273. That's fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
    1
  6274. Thanks
    1
  6275. Thanks for watching!
    1
  6276. No - thats a Junkers 52.
    1
  6277. My pleasure
    1
  6278. I think not
    1
  6279. Definitely!
    1
  6280. Or Japan invading China?
    1
  6281. Actually, huge numbers of troops were taken off through the port, and the moles, and the beaches!
    1
  6282. That's probably how the Americans pronounce it, but in Greenland I understand its pronounced how I said it.
    1
  6283. Himmler was 1.74cm tall, the same as Hitler.
    1
  6284. Many thanks
    1
  6285. Many thanks
    1
  6286. No
    1
  6287. Description box!
    1
  6288. Thanks
    1
  6289. Thanks
    1
  6290. Same
    1
  6291. I don't know, but I'll find out!
    1
  6292. Blimey!
    1
  6293. Considering you get to watch all my videos for free, your comment is incredibly uncharitable and crass.
    1
  6294. Yes.
    1
  6295. Wow, thanks!
    1
  6296. I was referring to the main home islands of Kyushu, Honshu, Hokkaido and Shikoku.
    1
  6297. Actually, if you are Japanese it is pronounced as I say it. They slur over the 'shita' syllables.
    1
  6298. Myth.
    1
  6299. Opium etc.
    1
  6300. Interesting theory - with perhaps a grain of truth?
    1
  6301. You're very welcome!
    1
  6302. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  6303. I was a history lecturer - and I still lecture on occasion!
    1
  6304. That is incredibly kind! Many thanks and a Merry Christmas to you also.
    1
  6305. That is incredibly kind of you. Many thanks and a Merry Christmas to you too.
    1
  6306. Because that is how the name is pronounced my American friend - its a German surname and a German company name. Now try this one: "Porsche" - I'm guessing you leave the 'e' silent.
    1
  6307. Only the Battle of Herrlisheim, as I mention in the video!
    1
  6308. No, they don't. Only in thumbnails. If you are referring to the photo of Bachmann, that was a dash of paint on the photo.
    1
  6309. Tatra 87
    1
  6310. The caption mysteriously disappeared - it was an SS-used Tatra 87 from the Czech Republic.
    1
  6311. Better watch the video again and listen this time.
    1
  6312. Watch my video about this subject.
    1
  6313. Watch the video again - I don't call Biden a dictator. I make the point that all modern leaders have taken on the trappings of what were once dictators' accoutrements - bodyguard units, special armoured cars and special planes. The US president, the most heavily protected human alive, is the preeminent example of this trend.
    1
  6314. What are you complaining about? You get to watch my videos for free!
    1
  6315. I would have thought it was quite obvious.
    1
  6316. Took a bit of a plastering.
    1
  6317. Me too.
    1
  6318. I do cover these subjects on occasion, and my other channel 'War Stories with Mark Felton' has several Far Eastern stories.
    1
  6319. A lot.
    1
  6320. Wow, thank you!
    1
  6321. So nice of you

  6323. Unfortunately, to liberate them, we had to kill quite a few in the process.
    1
  6324. Footage would be a problem.
    1
  6325. I have - look them up under the D-Day series.
    1
  6326. Thank you so much 😀
    1
  6327. I try to balance my output - the last two dealt with British-Canadian operations on D-Day.
    1
  6328. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  6329. Appreciate that
    1
  6330. A simulated attack to distract the enemy from the real point of attack.
    1
  6331. The video is about an aspect of the Western Front.
    1
  6332. My computer skills are those of the historian I'm afraid!
    1
  6333. Well said!
    1
  6334. Thanks for that!
    1
  6335. Thanks 👍
    1
  6336. Very welcome
    1
  6337. He was probably already deaf!
    1
  6338. No helicopter can lift a Sherman, even without the turret.
    1
  6339. drop me a line at hello@markfelton.co.uk
    1
  6340. That was the German Resistance, not the Allies (though I think they received some help from SOE!)
    1
  6341. It was called 'Paraquet' which is pronounced in English as 'Parakeet' and is indeed close to the spelling of the weed killer brand 'Paraquat'.
    1
  6342. Actually, that was the old music.
    1
  6343. Damn, now my secret is out!
    1
  6344. Not quite.
    1
  6345. Several times.
    1
  6346. They used some prototype test models - everything the Germans had by way of armour, including trials vehicles, ended up being used at the war's end.
    1
  6347. iMovie
    1
  6348. Yes, it was well-known what was happening to both soldiers and civilians in Soviet hands, particularly after the Nemmersdorf Massacre.
    1
  6349. I need to work out how to do that - computer skills level low!!!
    1
  6350. I provide PayPal and Patreon links in the description box. Thanks!
    1
  6351. You get to watch my programmes for free, so I think you're getting a pretty good deal my friend.
    1
  6352. I will be doing a video in the future.
    1
  6353. That's the plan!
    1
  6354. May I suggest you watch the actual video then the mists will clear

  6356. Light cruiser
    1
  6357. Ship of the Line - sort of early battleship I grant you, but not quite the same as the 19th and 20th century steel behemoths
    1
  6358. Both Caroline and Belfast are light cruisers. Suggest you read more about warship classifications before ranting on your keyboard.
    1
  6359. No, light cruiser
    1
  6360. I'm referring to things made of metal with turrets and engines. Think HMS Warspite or a host of other battleships. Actually, now you mention it, the government wasn't much interested in preserving Victory in the early 20th century either.
    1
  6361. Thanks for watching
    1
  6362. Belfast is a light cruiser, about a third the size of a battleship, so not all that impressive. A battlecruiser was as big as a battleship, though with lighter armour for increased speed.
    1
  6363. Well anybody with even the slightest knowledge of warships knows the difference between a cruiser and a battleship - not the same thing
    1
  6364. Many thanks for watching
    1
  6365. Glad you are enjoying them
    1
  6366. Actually, there are three WW1 Royal Navy vessels in existence today - HMS Caroline (light cruiser), HMS M-33 (Monitor) and HMS President (Sloop), so all is not lost!
    1
  6367. Not really - I'd like to see something metal, with turrets, painted grey - what they call a Battleship, not an armed sailing ship.
    1
  6368. Basically correct. Happy days!
    1
  6369. Thanks
    1
  6370. I believe someone has now told me that for the 10th time. I get it.
    1
  6371. Light cruiser not a battleship
    1
  6372. Light cruiser
    1
  6373. Its a national disgrace
    1
  6374. I was discussing battleships - Belfast is a light cruiser
    1
  6375. Thanks
    1
  6376. I said battlecruiser, a different type of ship from a cruiser or a battleship.
    1
  6377. We have a few small vessels, but no capital ships whatsoever
    1
  6378. She's not a 'battlecruiser', she's a cruiser, completely different thing.
    1
  6379. Well it stops it sinking!
    1
  6380. Light cruiser
    1
  6381. HMS Belfast is a light cruiser. Perhaps check your facts before telling me I don't know my business.
    1
  6382. Thanks for sharing
    1
  6383. Indeed
    1
  6384. Interesting - I'll check that out. Thanks for watching
    1
  6385. Belfast is a cruiser. A battlecruiser is something quite different on a par with a battleship,
    1
  6386. Light cruiser - not in the same ball park
    1
  6387. Light cruiser
    1
  6388. Thank you
    1
  6389. Light cruiser
    1
  6390. Light cruiser
    1
  6391. Belfast is a light cruiser. Chatham has a WWII destroyer.
    1
  6392. But no proper battleships from the heyday of the RN
    1
  6393. I don't, but there is a gap in the chain of historic ships - really nothing impressive preserved from the heyday of British battleships and aircraft carriers. Something from the 20th century bigger than the Belfast would have been nice, and perhaps also something postwar associated with the Falklands, such as HMS Plymouth which I visited ages ago, should have been preserved as well.
    1
  6394. Agreed. Shameful.
    1
  6395. Been many times - interesting about her entanglement with the Scharnhorst.
    1
  6396. Actually, she's a light cruiser - we couldn't even manage to save one of our big cruisers let alone a battle wagon
    1
  6397. Light cruiser
    1
  6398. Light cruiser

  6410. Born in Colchester, live in Norwich.
    1
  6411. Lance-Corporal! There are reasons that have emerged.
    1
  6412. I had to generalise and keep it simple as I'm not giving a class about the Bolshevik Revolution and Russian history.
    1
  6413. I would say Lucas was more than inspired by the Imperial Japanese Army.
    1
  6414. Correct!
    1
  6415. Yes, we had our own programme to grab German scientists. Perhaps I will look into it.
    1
  6416. Books
    1
  6417. Thank you kindly
    1
  6418. Already made a video about Black and Arab troops in the German Army.
    1
  6419. I lived in Shanghai for almost 10 years - huge parts of the International Settlement and French Concession remain intact today. Really fascinating.
    1
  6420. Suggest you read about US and British troops fighting in the Russian Civil War!
    1
  6421. Thanks, but I don't fancy trying to read out that tongue twister on air! Note to self: avoid Czech subjects in future!

  6423. You make a better video then, and I'll be happy to criticise.
    1
  6424. It's on my DailyMotion page, under Mark Felton Productions.
    1
  6425. He was the next level down - not one of the inner circle of ministers.
    1
  6426. Yes, many times
    1
  6427. Apparently, that story is fictional
    1
  6428. The 'e' at the end of a German word is pronounced as an 'a' - and I'm not an American.
    1
  6429. Heydrich apparently had a rather high, feminine voice.
    1
  6430. Go to my Facebook page Mark Felton Productions
    1
  6431. I have seen footage of Joachim von Ribbentrop speaking fluent English.
    1
  6432. They did - twice (1944 & 2005)
    1
  6433. I never said they flew weapons to the front - they flew doctors and medical supplies to the front and took casualties out.
    1
  6434. Its been done many times - I like to find fresh stories.
    1
  6435. I probably will.
    1
  6436. Not yet.
    1
  6437. I was referring to the conference earlier in the war when the Big Three decided the rules concerning a German surrender.
    1
  6438. It is.
    1
  6439. Note my pinned comment!
    1
  6440. It is.
    1
  6441. I omitted them because my video concerned 'fighters'.
    1
  6442. I'm going to!
    1
  6443. I couldn't find any up-to-date figures so erred on the side of caution.
    1
  6444. I did mention that the figures change constantly. I also ruled out replicas and Buchons. I think my figures are accurate, after checking multiple up-to-date sources.
    1
  6445. Replicas don't count, I'm afraid.
    1
  6446. So nice of you to tell me!
    1
  6447. Its possible one of the documentaries I'm in has aired on this channel.
    1
  6448. I think they fought using the burning vehicles to illuminate targets in this action, but I may be wrong. Zaloga doesn't mention night vision equipment.
    1
  6449. The Reichswehr March.
    1
  6450. I appreciate it!
    1
  6451. I didn’t say that.
    1
  6452. Prussia's Glory
    1
  6453. Don't forget, the Soviets captured lots of advanced German aircraft and scientists as well.
    1
  6454. No problem
    1
  6455. Later, and then Brazil. Governments changed, and sometimes looked to arrest old Nazis for diplomatic reasons.
    1
  6456. Thank you kindly
    1
  6457. No - the Marut was a completely postwar design. The Argentine aircraft was a direct modification of a WW2-era German jet design.
    1
  6458. No, the Pulqui was an upgraded version of an original German WWII design. The Marut was something new.
    1
  6459. My pleasure!!
    1
  6460. Thank you!
    1
  6461. Glad it was helpful!
    1
  6462. I'm sorry to hear that.
    1
  6463. No - separate operation run by Peron's agents in Europe. We were all in direct competition with each other, including America vs. Britain. It was a rather unseemly scramble for the Nazi Crown Jewels (technology, weapons, people). America largely won that scramble.
    1
  6464. More likely, Roswell as one of the Horten flying wings. The Americans heavily tested all the advanced German aircraft for years out in the deserts.
    1
  6465. I've made too many to upload quickly - but I am trying
    1
  6466. Actually, it’s Baron von Braun which no one ever mentions!
    1
  6467. No - the Pulqui II was a modified German WW2 design - as I explained in the video.
    1
  6468. Von Braun knew exactly how his missiles were being produced - and he turned a blind eye as he was only interested in the scientific and technical side. He was also an SS-Sturmbannfuhrer. He wanted to put the first man into space - where do you think the scientific information would come from to do this - from high-altitude experiments conducted by Luftwaffe doctors on concentration camp prisoners - data that was handed over to the Americans at war's end as part of the package that von Braun and his cronies brought with them to save themselves from trial at Nuremberg.
    1
  6469. The Marut was an entirely new design. The Argentine jet was a direct development of an existing Nazi-era plane. So it was the last Nazi jet fighter.
    1
  6470. A double e in German ('ee' as in Peen) is pronounced like an 'ai' sound in English.
    1
  6471. I've written 22 books so far!
    1
  6472. Plenty more crazy to come.
    1
  6473. Rhesus, old boy, Rhesus.
    1
  6474. Do watch my video on Megaroc - I explain everything very clearly.
    1
  6475. Precisely!
    1
  6476. I didn't - the title explains that the rockets were Nazi, ridden by monkeys.
    1
  6477. Actually it is completely accurate - The rockets were built by the Nazis and test fired by the Americans complete with monkeys - "Nazi Rocket Monkeys".
    1
  6478. The title is 'Nazi Rocket Monkeys' - the rockets were Nazi-built and contained monkeys. How have I contradicted myself?
    1
  6479. I doubt it! But thanks.
    1
  6480. The title is not misleading - they were Nazi-built rockets and they contained monkeys!
    1
  6481. Right.
    1
  6482. Not according to Churchill's picture caption - however, I'm no expert.
    1
  6483. Yes, we can.
    1
  6484. I've been shooting for years and there's plenty of Britons who still do!
    1
  6485. Very interesting - I feel a video coming on!
    1
  6486. Euros are quite horrible - particularly the banknotes. But our notes are also starting the resemble Monopoly money as well.
    1
  6487. Good point.
    1
  6488. I used to get one a week pocket money.
    1
  6489. Thanks - always been fascinated with the subject.
    1
  6490. If they are selling for that little, the sellers must be idiots. The silver value alone is much higher!
    1
  6491. FIDEI DEFENSATRIX - Defender of the Faith (Church of England)
    1
  6492. I believe it was the inspiration for the new one pound coin.
    1
  6493. I thinks shops have to accept cash unless they specifically state on large signs that they don't - after all, cash is still legal tender.
    1
  6494. Sadly, I'm 49!
    1
  6495. Introduced into service 1961, so outside the range of this video.
    1
  6496. The P-3 entered service in the early 1960s, so outside of the range of my video.
    1
  6497. I featured planes that entered service in a particular year in the '40s or'50s, not when they first flew. The Talon entered service in 1961.
    1
  6498. But didn't enter service until the early '60s.
    1
  6499. It didn't enter service till the early '60s
    1
  6500. The T-38 entered service in 1961 - outside the scope of this video
    1
  6501. Introduced into service 1961, so outside the range of this video.
    1
  6502. Yeah, bye.
    1
  6503. Regarding the French, you would do well to read books more.
    1
  6504. How historical, I think you'll find.
    1
  6505. They bought time to allow the Red Army to turn Stalingrad into a bloodbath for the Germans rather than a walk-over.
    1
  6506. I did Shanina a long time ago.
    1
  6507. I agree - very tiresome keyboard warriors.
    1
  6508. You will
    1
  6509. Quite true - great comment.
    1
  6510. Quite so - I used dozens of sources to dig this information out.
    1
  6511. You have completely missed the main point of my video - the buying of time for proper defences to be established by the Soviets in the north of Stalingrad, resulting in the bitter struggle that followed. There is noting feminist or PC in this story, just historical facts.
    1
  6512. It's not click bait my friend, it's history.
    1
  6513. Hitler wanted the city that bore the name of his greatest enemy.
    1
  6514. I've already done a video on Sniper Shanina
    1
  6515. No, it isn't. It's called 'history'
    1
  6516. And British sailors on the Arctic convoys delivering it!
    1
  6517. So, a history channel about WWII must ignore the Soviet Union? Interesting idea.
    1
  6518. You misunderstand the video - I was discussing the 1077th's last stand action which brought time for thousands of male Soviet soldiers to enter Stalingrad and reinforce the defences, leading to the long drawn out battle of the city.
    1
  6519. I also watched the remake - Russian tv is underrated.
    1
  6520. You clearly haven't watched the video or understand what I clearly explain to be their contribution to buying time at a critical moment in the battle.
    1
  6521. We made the same mistake bombing Monte Cassino - thereby providing excellent cover for German paratroopers!
    1
  6522. Really, I found plenty of evidence, even from the Germans.
    1
  6523. Try watching the video and listening to what I say. I show no bias of any description - I simply enunciate the facts of what happened.
    1
  6524. I can't cover everything that is outside the scope of the video's subject. I am well aware of the use of horses by the German Army. However, Kampfgruppe von Strachwitz was a completely motorised unit used as a spearhead force.
    1
  6525. Gurkha officers can and have commanded battalions.
    1
  6526. The unit title won't change as the honour was granted in the Queen's name. For example, throughout Elizabeth II's reign there was a King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, named for her father. It still exists.
    1
  6527. I got sponsorship from the Adjutant Generals Corps when I finished university, having decided to pursue a commission in the Education and Training Services Branch, but I later changed my mind about an army career and didn't go to Sandhurst. Probably a stupid decision made when young!
    1
  6528. Yes.
    1
  6529. Better men than you, I'll wager.
    1
  6530. That is the correct legal term - like it or not.
    1
  6531. That makes me feel safer. I noticed a lot working as security guards in Hong Kong the last time I was there.
    1
  6532. It wasn't much, but I always smile when I recall it.
    1
  6533. Thank you kindly - I try my best!
    1
  6534. Many thanks
    1
  6535. Thanks
    1
  6536. Thanks
    1
  6537. I think not, as it didn't see any combat.
    1
  6538. Thanks
    1
  6539. I've written over 20 history books, please look on Amazon!
    1
  6540. I may do - BTW, it was a joint Australian-British force led by Lt.Col Ivan Lyon, a Brit.
    1
  6541. So kind
    1
  6542. The regime they came from was, so my title is correct as it refers to Franco, not his individual soldiers.
    1
  6543. What's that supposed to mean?
    1
  6544. Keep wishing!
    1
  6545. Not quite sure I understand this - looks like a typo. Can you ask me again? Many thanks
    1
  6546. Many thanks
    1
  6547. Thanks
    1
  6548. Thanks for your very kind compliments
    1
  6549. You are too kind
    1
  6550. Thanks for watching
    1
  6551. Thanks very much
    1
  6552. Thanks
    1
  6553. Let's hope so!
    1
  6554. Thanks
    1
  6555. Many thanks.
    1
  6556. Now, now - let's keep things civil.
    1
  6557. Tech issues
    1
  6558. Yes, tech issue
    1
  6559. Tech issue
    1
  6560. Yes, tech issue
    1
  6561. Already have.
    1
  6562. Actually, one Stinger missile currently costs just under $120,000, so that's still considerably more expensive than a second-hand An-2.

    1
  6577. Really - who? I'm curious.
    1
  6578. There are some legal hurdles to overcome!
    1
  6579. Me too!
    1
  6580. Probably another 10.
    1
  6581. I'm not sure that is a compliment?
    1
  6582. Interesting!
    1
  6583. I hope you also noticed the Polish despatch rider as well.
    1
  6584. Lovely part of the country that I have visited many times.
    1
  6585. There are 7 intact Tiger Is today, including one in working condition (in the UK at the Tank Museum).
    1
  6586. We do make the best baddies...according to Americans.
    1
  6587. Because insufficient transport and time remained to move them across the Seine. They didn't want to leave them intact for the enemy.
    1
  6588. Well, I showed it driving around and some film I took of it inside.
    1
  6589. Well, no evidence has surfaced from any sources then or now to show a Tiger being recovered from where the SS recorded losing it, so it would suggest its still down there.
    1
  6590. Good question - I'm guessing about 30. But its a guess.
    1
  6591. Russia
    1
  6592. Wrong! The film used is of Saltwater and Mugger Crocodiles I filmed myself at a nature park in the UK. Perhaps you should go on a Crocodilian recognition course before approaching a keyboard?
    1
  6593. Right you are, cobber
    1
  6594. You are not, that's why. I filmed Salt Water and Mugger Crocodiles, not alligators. Time to visit Specsavers!
    1
  6595. I didn't know that - I was in the episode discussing Unit 731 and the Japanese plan to plague bomb San Francisco
    1
  6596. Yes, my grandfather served in Burma with the British Army and wore a slouch hat.
    1
  6597. Thanks
    1
  6598. A pleasure
    1
  6599. Scrapped

  6617. Thanks
    1
  6618. Thanks - iMovie
    1
  6619. Thanks for saying so
    1
  6620. I think it was doomed any way to care to view it - they should have sent a division instead of a task force.
    1
  6621. You are too kind.
    1
  6622. Interesting - any anecdotes you'd care to share?
    1
  6623. Thank you
    1
  6624. Now, now!
    1
  6625. Typo - unfortunately, I can't change it without pulling the video.
    1
  6626. The real plate is lost to history.
    1
  6627. 8 hours a night thanks
    1
  6628. Yes, they are. The green colouration was during restoration, so some changes had been made to the wreck found in the barn. I can assure you that this story has been very extensively covered by motoring magazines in Europe.
    1
  6629. I will if I visit in the future
    1
  6630. It's because it was still held by the Germans when the war ended - and its an easy drive from N. Germany, also largely in German hands up to the final surrender.
    1
  6631. The Far East of Russia is Siberia.
    1
  6632. Cossacks
    1
  6633. Not in my country or the US.
    1
  6634. Wow, thanks!
    1
  6635. So nice of you
    1
  6636. I imagine then have a lot of old ammo in storage, along with the weapons themselves?
    1
  6637. I'm an historian - I don't claim to be an armchair strategist, I was making historical comparisons regarding weaponry.
    1
  6638. They are basically the same round, small differences aside. I was speaking in a generalisation.
    1
  6639. It's currently listed as a MMG, I guess because of its small round in comparison with the DShK and M2.
    1
  6640. Yes
    1
  6641. Yes
    1
  6642. There is no background music
    1
  6643. I was lucky enough to go aboard her before she was chopped up - would have made a fantastic museum exhibit if they could have displayed the U-boat indoors like U-505 in Chicago.
    1
  6644. Pay attention - I explained that the British captured the first Enigma machine at the beginning of the video. Try watching before commenting.
    1
  6645. Chief
    1
  6646. Thank you!
    1
  6647. No, it wasn't.
    1
  6648. The Royal Navy took plenty of U-boatmen prisoner - we had a POW camp for them on a property owned by children's writer Beatrix Potter.
    1
  6649. We don't know.
    1
  6650. Those are the figures I found in agreed sources. It was a phenomenal operation.
    1
  6651. It is
    1
  6652. They were manufactured in Czechoslovakia by Skoda for the Germans following the takeover until 1942.
    1
  6653. Yes, but only the 20 March ceremony was filmed. It is often incorrectly stated to be filmed on 20 April 1945.
    1
  6654. No, it isn't. At least it wasn't the last time I visited Duxford.
    1
  6655. Yes. I use it often in conversation as should you.
    1
  6656. Yes.
    1
  6657. It's been done to death.
    1
  6658. Lighten up!
    1
  6659. I'm from Colchester
    1
  6660. Youtube removed it some time ago, so I thought it was time it came back!

  6662. His US citizenship didn't come out until his trial.
    1
  6663. You will see in Ep. 2
    1
  6664. ?
    1
  6665. Monday
    1
  6666. The 'shitter' is apparently where you fished this turd of a comment out of.
    1
  6667. I didn't say cancel them - how about educate people about them instead of just blindly honouring them?
    1
  6668. That's okay then...
    1
  6669. Ja
    1
  6670. What's that got to do with America honouring Nazis? Try to focus.
    1
  6671. Did you complete all of your schooling?
    1
  6672. Why not, it's very close to the truth.
    1
  6673. We didn't have the finances left to really make use of Nazi boffins in 1945 - we were too heavily in debt to the Americans.
    1
  6674. The video is not about the history of the entire world - only one issue (hint: the clue is in the title).
    1
  6675. His arrest was complete bollocks - look into what actually occurred.
    1
  6676. US rockets are not, as far as I know, made using slave labour.
    1
  6677. The Americans had us by the short and curlies financially until 2006, so nary a peep was heard from London!
    1
  6678. He wasn't a 'sir'.
    1
  6679. Tiresome...and ridiculous. Well done.
    1
  6680. It was a fact that America was largely immune from the suffering the British went through - hence their forgiving attitude to men like von Braun.
    1
  6681. I know his name and the details surrounding the case, but as I said, we'll cover the missing cache of letters in a future video.
    1
  6682. Yes! Thank you!
    1
  6683. I visited the ones in Munich and the Netherlands - both in mint condition. One is flying in Germany.
    1
  6684. I have been in a couple of History Channel documentaries.
    1
  6685. It's how the British have pronounced it for centuries.
    1
  6686. Thanks, but the name's Felton.

  6687. Everyone stayed well back during there drops. I don't think many were injured.
    1
  6688. ?
    1
  6689. We come in peace?
    1
  6690. There were German airbases in the Western Netherlands and more in Denmark and parts of N. Germany in range, not to mention Norway.
    1
  6691. It's from Manna - Lancasters were not used in the Berlin Airlift. I think you are right - cement bags were used to drop tinned food or something similar.
    1
  6692. I will - I've visited the area in the past.
    1
  6693. In British English we pronounce it this way.
    1
  6694. I don't think it would be of much interest!
    1
  6695. I've been getting that for years!
    1
  6696. I live near Mendlesham - the old airfield is partly still there as far as I know.
    1
  6697. Certain marks of the Sten had bayonets
    1
  6698. Thank you kindly
    1
  6699. You are right! I've been studying this stuff for 35 years!
    1
  6700. I said the World Wide Web, not the internet. Look up Sir Tim Berners-Lee
    1
  6701. Let me put it in language you can understand: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee
    1
  6702. Already have several times - check out 'War Stories with Mark Felton'. BTW, Ukrainian SS auxiliaries did not 'run' concentration camps, but they were used in large numbers to staff them below smaller German SS officer and NCO staffs.
    1
  6703. You don't say
    1
  6704. What are you talking about. I'm not an American citizen?
    1
  6705. I didn't make it.
    1
  6706. I remember firing the L85A1 - what a plastic fantastic experience and not in a good way!
    1
  6707. I concur!
    1
  6708. If you crushed a glass with your hand and then washed your hand, I guarantee you'd still have slivers stuck in the flesh. And the gums and inner cheek are much softer than a hand.
    1
  6709. It wasn't an autopsy, rather a post-mortem. No other procedures were done to the corpse to establish cause of death - for example the lungs and other organs were not examined to confirm cyanic poisoning.
    1
  6710. Himmler had shaved off his moustache, as I mentioned in the earlier episode, and it was just faintly starting to regrow when he died. No toxicological tests are listed in the post-mortem report. As for a beating, a reporter noted at the time that the dead Himmler appeared to have a broken nose.
    1
  6711. Yes, they certainly did. From the US National Archives.
    1
  6712. I know - but parading with WWII-era German rifles is a link to the Wehrmacht in many peoples' minds. That was shown in 1995 when the scandal broke about Nazi markings on Wachbataillon weapons. Regarding protocol, I said that you use Prussian drill movements, which, incidentally, the Third Reich also used by way of continuity.
    1
  6713. I said some sources have said that the King was forewarned of the coup, but it can't be confirmed as being true. Therefore, it would seem there was no contradiction as the Western Powers surprise suggests that they hadn't warned the King after all!
    1
  6714. Excuse me?
    1
  6715. But he'll never beat Donald Pleasance in The Eagle Has Landed!
    1
  6716. It's a US M3 Grease Gun introduced in 1942.
    1
  6717. Not yet, and also I should do Dublin as well.
    1
  6718. Well, I was really showing the Liberty Ship, but I did wonder if some smart Alec would point it out - and, low and behold...
    1
  6719. Perfectly natural and proper!
    1
  6720. I would think so.
    1
  6721. And it makes my day when you send me such a nice message.
    1
  6722. Thanks
    1
  6723. Thanks
    1
  6724. I thought so too
    1
  6725. They keep me busy!
    1
  6726. Don't mess with the Red Devils!
    1
  6727. Thanks for joining our merry band!
    1
  6728. Many thanks
    1
  6729. Thank you
    1
  6730. Many thanks!
    1
  6731. Thanks
    1
  6732. It was - they captured thousands and found them extremely useful, as did British and US soldiers on the Western Front.
    1
  6733. I made a video about this - link in end screen of this video.
    1
  6734. I said "Uhse commandeered a field car and a driver..."
    1
  6735. I checked it several times and it was a 104.
    1
  6736. Happy Birthday!
    1
  6737. No, that was a WWII Kubelwagen - the 'Thing' was derived from it decades later.
    1
  6738. I believe she did actually pilot an Me 262, the only woman to do so.
    1
  6739. Mine is 13 May
    1
  6740. 2,500 left
    1
  6741. One Gurkha and two Indians - all VCs
    1
  6742. It was called the Adjutancy Wing, and housed junior members of Hitler's staff.
    1
  6743. I did notice a concrete foundation up there - thanks for the information!
    1
  6744. It wouldn't surprise me.
    1
  6745. Well spotted.
    1
  6746. Yes, it was incredible. Seys and Gobeil were lucky to survive, but their excellent skills helped a lot.
    1
  6747. His name was Roy Courlander.
    1
  6748. The last part of your question is I believe the answer.
    1
  6749. Expended as a ground target.
    1
  6750. Not sure yet
    1
  6751. Many thanks
    1
  6752. Will do
    1
  6753. Been done a few times already.
    1
  6754. Pleasure
    1
  6755. Thanks for watching.
    1
  6756. "British Airways' German Planes" - very catchy.
    1
  6757. See my video on Flight 777 when the Germans killed film star Leslie Howard aboard a BOAC DC-3.
    1
  6758. Yes, I think 3 or 4 are still flying. Made by CASA.
    1
  6759. Graves Registration Units. Many of the US ones were black troops.
    1
  6760. Yes, it was very real.
    1
  6761. It was very eerie, and beautifully timed! I suspect it was drifting over from the Austrian side.
    1
  6762. It was actually done for sound military reasons. The Allies had bought Goebbels propaganda nonsense about a 'National Redoubt' in the Alps. It therefore figured that Hitler would use his existing military command infrastructure on the Obersalzberg as his HQ, not realising of course that Hitler had decided to stay in Berlin. The raid was designed to deny those facilities to the Germans, forestalling a last stand in the region. It was partially successful.
    1
  6763. You are very welcome.
    1
  6764. Thank you for exercising common sense!
    1
  6765. It's just marketing deary - I'm not throwing any aspersions.
    1
  6766. I have a PhD in history and I've written 22 books about the period - I specialise in Germany and Japan in WWII.
    1
  6767. I can't find a recording.
    1
  6768. Because reaching into his pockets when standing next to Hitler would have aroused the suspicions of the bodyguards.
    1
  6769. Read more widely before writing in the comments.
    1
  6770. No, they continued doing so until 1945.
    1
  6771. I think Goering arrived with Hitler in the car behind.
    1
  6772. Not quite - they didn't want to restore the imperial family, rather they wanted to create a military government.
    1
  6773. Waffen-SS
    1
  6774. Lots of Germans have Polish surnames, including aristocrats.
    1
  6775. 1943
    1
  6776. Military government and negotiated peace settlement with Britain and US. Probably the fighting would have continued in the east.
    1
  6777. Yes, on my other channel I have three videos covering the officers' plots against Hitler.
    1
  6778. Each squadron of the three SAS regiments, 21, 22 and 23, has a Boat Troop whose members are experts using water craft. The Royal Marines own special forces unit, the Special Boat Service (SBS) naturally are all experts on and below the water. The SAS and SBS, though obviously maintaining a healthy rivalry, also often work together as they have a similar set of nefarious skills.
    1
  6779. You must be ex-SBS?
    1
  6780. Of which I have done a video!
    1
  6781. I may do
    1
  6782. Much appreciated!
    1
  6783. No, there isn't. Those statues are of statesmen pointing etc, not saluting military men.
    1
  6784. It's still there.
    1
  6785. Indeed - just down the road from my home town of Colchester!
    1
  6786. 'Svastika' is the Sanskrit word, as I said in the video.
    1
  6787. They stopped using the swastika just before the war and replaced it with the Thunderbird.
    1
  6788. I've been a lecturer for 18 years.
    1
  6789. In a play on the runes, it also means 'Victory, Victory' as well as Schutzstaffel (as I explained in the video).
    1
  6790. Oberleutnant zur See, a naval rank.
    1
  6791. Thanks for promoting this!
    1
  6792. We still can - our armed forces are superb
    1
  6793. I already have
    1
  6794. Already have
    1
  6795. Thanks for the tip
    1
  6796. Haven't watched it.
    1
  6797. I appreciate that!
    1
  6798. I haven't narrated any documentaries but I have appeared in many documentaries an an expert on The History Channel, National Geographic, American Heroes Channel etc.
    1
  6799. Look up "The Filthy Thirteen"
    1
  6800. Which is exactly what I say in the video you evidently haven't watched - so perhaps you should 'get bent' instead.
    1
  6801. Which is exactly what I say in the video you evidently haven't watched!
    1
  6802. You clearly haven't watched the video - come back an apologise for your baseless accusations straight after,
    1
  6803. Which is exactly what I say in the video you evidently haven't watched!
    1
  6804. Watch video before commenting
    1
  6805. Watch the video first moron, then apologise!
    1
  6806. Try watching the video first - you will be very red faced for insulting my work.
    1
  6807. Which is exactly what I say in the video you evidently haven't watched!
    1
  6808. Which is exactly what I say in the video you evidently haven't watched!
    1
  6809. I had already used her full name earlier in the video - I was preventing repetition.
    1
  6810. I'm working on it - it will be a little while yet as research is ongoing.
    1
  6811. He is already a Royal Knight Companion of the Order of the Garter and a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, so he's a double knight!
    1
  6812. You may be interested that the Americans awarded Blair the US Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal.
    1
  6813. That's because Blair hadn't been knighted yet. Now he has, the other former PMs will be slowly knighted over the next few years.
    1
  6814. Its just an iMovie thing
    1
  6815. I try to match footage to what I'm talking about - makes it more watchable (hopefully)
    1
  6816. Thanks
    1
  6817. Thanks!
    1
  6818. Thanks - I've already done Villers-Bocage 1944 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulHjQTUlbMQ&t=3s
    1
  6819. Thank you
    1
  6820. Precisely.
    1
  6821. Absolutely.
    1
  6822. Thanks for watching
    1
  6823. I needed footage of a Tiger at night - perhaps you can suspend disbelief?
    1
  6824. Actually, they also had a small egg type grenade as well as the potato masher type, so who knows what he was using. Perhaps someone here can enlighten? BTW, the guy was an ex-infantryman before becoming a tanker.
    1
  6825. Just trying to bring the subject alive - if you don't like it, don't watch my videos and certainly don't read my books.
    1
  6826. I probably will as several of you have asked for it.
    1
  6827. Its just an iMovie thing
    1
  6828. And possibly balls of steel to match!
    1
  6829. Thanks for watching
    1
  6830. Thanks for your support
    1
  6831. They took on too many opponents at once.
    1
  6832. Thanks!
    1
  6833. Thanks
    1
  6834. As far as I know, Kursk saw a greater number of tanks engaged. Regardless, it was on an epic scale compared to the Western Front.
    1
  6835. Thank you
    1
  6836. As I mentioned to another chap who commented on this, it was footage of a Tiger at night that was difficult to find. Perhaps you can suspend disbelief and enjoy the video instead?
    1
  6837. Thanks for watching
    1
  6838. Already done so some weeks before - do please check out my other videos. This channel doesn't glorify anything, but just tells historical stories from all sides in WWII.
    1
  6839. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  6840. Many thanks
    1
  6841. Thanks for your kind support
    1
  6842. Yes. That was always the intention.
    1
  6843. I do, but the technical explanation is too time consuming considering the video is not about the Panzerfaust.
    1
  6844. A pleasure
    1
  6845. Thanks for supporting my channel
    1
  6846. Thank you
    1
  6847. Thanks
    1
  6848. It's called a 're-enactment'
    1
  6849. A pleasure
    1
  6850. Cheers
    1
  6851. Many thanks
    1
  6852. Thanks
    1
  6853. Thanks for watching
    1
  6854. Thanks for watching
    1
  6855. Thanks
    1
  6856. One can but hope. Thanks for watching
    1
  6857. Thank you
    1
  6858. You are too kind
    1
  6859. No, many stayed on in Britain or emigrated to other countries like the US, Canada or Australia. Those who returned to Poland were persecuted by the new regime.
    1
  6860. Don't be tedious.
    1
  6861. I only discussed the Polish Army in the West, a separate subject from the one fighting with Stalin.
    1
  6862. Already made a video about this.
    1
  6863. I mention this fact in all my videos concerning the German invasion of Poland - this video only mentioned 1939 in passing.
    1
  6864. The name Tulip came from the shape of the rocket's warhead. Forgot to mention it in the video.
    1
  6865. I'm discussing armoured vehicles.
    1
  6866. The latter appears to have been the case.
    1
  6867. Interesting - I will check it out.
    1
  6868. It was named for the shape of the warhead - well, we are a nation of gardeners!
    1
  6869. Yes, I do...in my DeLorean.
    1
  6870. I'm discussing armoured vehicles, not a complete history of rockers.
    1
  6871. No, completely accurate description. The tank was called the 'T-34'.
    1
  6872. No, its a discussion of Sherman tanks with a slight comparison to the Panzerwerfer, not a complete guide to all rocket-firing WWII vehicles. The title being the giveaway!
    1
  6873. I have something in the pipeline!
    1
  6874. The size refers to the base diameter of the shell, not the length of the projectile.
    1
  6875. Yes, I am.
    1
  6876. The Enigma machine snatch is disputed by many historians.
    1
  6877. That is both untrue and unfair to the hundreds of thousands of British soldiers who died in WWII. We served shoulder-to-shoulder with Commonwealth and Empire units. This is lazy generalising and re-writing of history. Shame on you.
    1
  6878. The raid had two purposes - draw out the Luftwaffe for a major showdown and test German anti-invasion defences. It succeeded in both, though not in the ways the planners envisaged.
    1
  6879. What a crass and unnecessary post.
    1
  6880. They were sent to POW camps in Germany and Poland.
    1
  6881. Not really
    1
  6882. There was more than one battalion of any British Commonwealth regiment.
    1
  6883. My apologies - an obvious slip of the tongue that I'm sure you can forgive.
    1
  6884. It must be great being able to work for free. I envy you.
    1
  6885. Yes
    1
  6886. Another person who can work for free - I envy you.
    1
  6887. British soldiers and sailors died right alongside the Canadians.
    1
  6888. Lets not forget that innocent children died with Mountbatten when he was murdered.
    1
  6889. The Enigma theory has been challenged by several top historians, hence my leaving it out.
    1
  6890. The Enigma machine snatch is disputed by many historians.
    1
  6891. Yes, there is.
    1
  6892. Don't be ridiculous
    1
  6893. Churchill needed a leader who could raise morale and most importantly get along with the Americans - Mountbatten was high profile, in his forties and charismatic. It worked well.
    1
  6894. Good point though!
    1
  6895. I don't know how to do that!
    1
  6896. The Enigma machine snatch is disputed by many historians.
    1
  6897. I won't mention George W. Bush then.
    1
  6898. I appreciate that
    1
  6899. The Enigma machine snatch is disputed by many historians.
    1
  6900. Both, in fact. They complimented each other.
    1
  6901. The Enigma theory has been challenged by several top historians, hence my leaving it out.
    1
  6902. Thanks
    1
  6903. Thanks
    1
  6904. It was a bit of fun on Halloween last year
    1
  6905. 'How many more times' says Mark quietly to himself, rolling his eyes. I have added the following public health warning to the video to hopefully inform future viewers as English humour doesn't appear to travel well: WARNING: This was originally released at Halloween 2018, and contains sounds that some viewers may find alarming, annoying or thrilling! It is not meant to be taken too seriously. Please bear this in mind before visiting the comments section. Thank you.
    1
  6906. I'm not an expert on the Shackleton, but isn't its engines somewhat upgraded from WWII bombers? Contra-rotating props etc. Perhaps someone can enlighten me.
    1
  6907. Thanks
    1
  6908. Thank you
    1
  6909. I'd like to play an Imperial officer in a Star Wars film - they are usually Brits, preferably with a line incorporating the words "rebel scum".
    1
  6910. Thank you for watching
    1
  6911. It was - a tongue in cheek Halloween special from last year. You and all the other people who have pointed this out, sometimes very rudely, need to chill out.
    1
  6912. And I'm so glad you did as well!
    1
  6913. Of course, the name is from Scotland!
    1
  6914. It was meant to be a bit of fun at Halloween.
    1
  6915. If only!
    1
  6916. Sorry to hear that - but thanks for your eloquent comment.
    1
  6917. Thanks so much - I'm thinking now about a Christmas special!
    1
  6918. It's just a little fun for Halloween
    1
  6919. Its meant to be tongue in cheek, but never mind.
    1
  6920. Thank you
    1
  6921. A pleasure - glad you both enjoyed it
    1
  6922. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  6923. Thanks for saying so - much appreciated
    1
  6924. You do realise that this was a Halloween, tongue-in-cheek, video not meant to be taken too seriously?
    1
  6925. Many thanks.
    1
  6926. Many thanks. It's great to know the videos are well received.
    1
  6927. Thanks
    1
  6928. Thanks
    1
  6929. Thank you.
    1
  6930. Glad to have you aboard!
    1
  6931. Its on Wikipedia or on my website www.markfelton.co.uk Thanks for watching
    1
  6932. Lovely to know you are enjoying them.
    1
  6933. Thanks for your support
    1
  6934. Very kind.
    1
  6935. A pleasure!
    1
  6936. Welcome aboard!
    1
  6937. The Allied landing forces kept well clear of the guns on Guernsey and Alderney.
    1
  6938. Thanks for that!
    1
  6939. I used to watch Bergerac as a kid in the '80s, loved it.
    1
  6940. It's not in use by any militaries today, only appeared in Syria with some irregular forces.
    1
  6941. Blast!
    1
  6942. Maybe your tv is on the blink?
    1
  6943. As I said, this video is not exhaustive - do more listening!
    1
  6944. I thought it had been replaced by some modern plastic fantastic?
    1
  6945. Good man!
    1
  6946. Really? I thought it was long replaced by the Cadet GP.
    1
  6947. You spotted my deliberate mistake I use to check people are actually listening - well done!
    1
  6948. The Ak-47 is not a WWII weapon - better read the video title again.
    1
  6949. Not any more
    1
  6950. I'd love to, but its obtaining royalty-free footage that's the problem, as with so many modern conflicts.
    1
  6951. I do - but which one? Can you guess.
    1
  6952. Police only
    1
  6953. My slip of the tongue has really made your day.
    1
  6954. Police use only today
    1
  6955. Not any more
    1
  6956. It only continues in police service as far as I could find, and not military.
    1
  6957. Police only.
    1
  6958. Thanks Yank!
    1
  6959. Walther PP, not PPK
    1
  6960. Sadly, we are not permitted these types of weapons in the UK, save the bolt actions, for which you have to have a Firearms Certificate.
    1
  6961. The pistol you mention is only used by police forces.
    1
  6962. No proper military uses the StG44 today
    1
  6963. Thanks - it did take a while!

  6964. As someone who witnessed the effects of an IRA bomb near my home when I was a child, I'll have to disagree with you on that one.
    1
  6965. Thanks for the information and your kind comments.
    1
  6966. The case of the IRA shooting at helicopters with M2s hit the headlines in 1988.
    1
  6967. I have to appeal to the widest possible audience and if I use the military term 'weapons', it won't work for an audience largely without military service.
    1
  6968. Not since I was about 13. I loved Tamiya models.
    1
  6969. You should try thinking more instead of parroting 80-year-old propaganda.
    1
  6970. I have no idea - before the internet most people didn't know of such things.
    1
  6971. I stand by my analysis - he received plenty of high awards from the state and abroad for his service as PM - awarding him campaign medals as well was a breach of clear regulations. I feel sorry for those soldiers whose active service didn't quite meet the time served criteria for some of the WWII medals and were denied them because of stringently enforced regulations, regulations that Churchill actually approved of in a Parliamentary statement which you can look up. Smells like hypocrisy? You decide.
    1
  6972. I believe he did receive a medal from the Ukrainians.
    1
  6973. No - they only went to senior officers and the RSM. Not like today, when they are given to all ranks based on time served.
    1
  6974. You don't have to 'earn your rank' in order to be appointed an honorary colonel. He wasn't appointed only because he is a successful celebrity, not because he was a trooper in the SAS Reserve for a couple of years.
    1
  6975. Monty was officially reprimanded by King George VI for not dressing correctly - Monty ignored him!
    1
  6976. That hasn't got anything to do with her being made an Hon. Colonel. It was because she is a celebrity, and not a veteran.
    1
  6977. King George VI never soloed, so I'd hesitate to call him a qualified pilot. But I'm sure I will be hounded out of the kingdom for suggesting such a thing!
    1
  6978. You should try reading books, and also engaging in critical thinking.
    1
  6979. It's interesting that Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, who accompanied Churchill on some of these trips, didn't receive campaign stars. How do you explain that?
    1
  6980. Still likes Larping about in military uniform though.
    1
  6981. My maternal grandfather loathed Winston Churchill, and had actually met him in WWII.
    1
  6982. You forgot to mention his valiant leadership at Tonypandy.
    1
  6983. Churchill wasn't head of state - he was the elected PM.
    1
  6984. Then it must run in the family
    1
  6985. I know
    1
  6986. Yes, he could have refused them, but I get the impression it was Churchill who hinted about receiving them rather than the King's original idea.
    1
  6987. I never said he lacked courage - in fact, I complimented him on his courage. The 6 awards are not for gallantry but for service.
    1
  6988. They did - The Order of Merit
    1
  6989. Great news for spud-faced losers then!
    1
  6990. Yes, and he wore it with his other medals for the rest of his life, despite his protestations of unworthiness.
    1
  6991. Come on - it's called 'historical enquiry'. Historians are trained to do it.
    1
  6992. How so?
    1
  6993. He wasn't receiving 'an allowance', only a one-off uniform payment.
    1
  6994. Better not read this then from The Spectator (a famous British newspaper) of 19 Aug. 2021: "As late as 1933, the year in which Hitler’s Italian-inspired Nazis came to power, Churchill described Mussolini in a speech that February at the Queen’s Hall in London as ‘the Roman genius’ and ‘the greatest law-giver among living men’. He added: ‘With the fascist regime, Mussolini has established a centre of orientation from which countries which are engaged in a hand-to-hand struggle with socialism must not hesitate to be guided.’"
    1
  6995. SAS Reserve
    1
  6996. I think that Churchill always had a popularity problem among the working class - the Welsh absolutely hated him for Tonypandy. The 1945 general election was a very telling rejection of Churchill.
    1
  6997. No, time you wrapped up.
    1
  6998. In 1924, he resigned his TA commission of Major, look it up.
    1
  6999. If KGVI and WC were showing such 'respect for those service personnel who served their country', why didn't they wear other awards like the Burma Star or Atlantic Star?
    1
  7000. The video was focused only on WWII Italy and Burma. Its not a complete history of mules in military service!
    1
  7001. On arrival at the front, some of the mules would be given to the regiments to look after, so the actual ratio of handlers to mules was about one handler for every 2 mules.
    1
  7002. Moroccan mountain infantry units were indeed very fierce fighters during the advance in Italy and later in Germany as well. Some of the best troops the French possessed.
    1
  7003. Goumiers
    1
  7004. Judging by the viewing figures, probably not.
    1
  7005. The interesting point is that 'Stuart-Houston' is an odd choice as Houston Stuart Chamberlain, the noted English fascist theorist and writer, was much admired by Hitler and his works heavily influenced National Socialism.
    1
  7006. That about sums up what happened.
    1
  7007. I do mention that no details of how the test was performed was released by the German authorities. And the cremation of all remains I note as convenient in that no further tests, including those made by other non-government groups, can now be made.
    1
  7008. That's right, he had a PhD in Literature.
    1
  7009. Fascinating - I'll check it out. Thanks
    1
  7010. A little
    1
  7011. The Kawasaki Ki 61 Hien looked superficially similar to the Me 109. Perhaps it was one of those?
    1
  7012. Ich habe deinen Kommentar nicht entfernt – Youtube macht das oft ohne meine Hilfe!
    1
  7013. I know the scene was filmed in March, but no film was taken of the same ceremony in April. You will forgive a little historical licence to set the scene.
    1
  7014. Glad you enjoyed it
    1
  7015. You shouldn't have been able to - very strange!
    1
  7016. Yes, Goering was no longer available.
    1
  7017. I have already made several.

    1
  7020. Yes, a cousin by marriage if I remember. She was also half Jewish.
    1
  7021. I have written 22 books - should keep you busy!
    1
  7022. Thanks - I'm doing very well!
    1
  7023. Why?
    1
  7024. Only for the cover image. Those are the rules.
    1
  7025. His name was Christian Tychsen, a Waffen-SS panzer officer killed in Normandy. His deformed chin was the result of an earlier wound on the Eastern Front.
    1
  7026. I've already made a video about the White Squadron.
    1
  7027. True - another licence build.
    1
  7028. Already done that before!
    1
  7029. There's one in Austria - I remember seeing it parked at Salzburg Airport when I landed there.
    1
  7030. That aircraft is covered in my video on Arctic Ghost Planes.
    1
  7031. I've done a two part video on this subject years ago.
    1
  7032. That would be Youtube BS regarding thumbnails I'm afraid!
    1
  7033. It would be completely buried under the mud at the bottom of the lake and not visible.
    1
  7034. Thanks

  7040. That's great - welcome aboard.

  7041. A pleasure

    1
  7043. I certainly will

  7044. Many thanks for watching
    1
  7045. I will do one eventually. They also looked very Wehrmacht
    1
  7046. I like to keep busy!
    1
  7047. Thanks
    1
  7048. I believe that's why the kevlar is known as the 'Fritz helmet'
    1
  7049. You are very kind
    1
  7050. Yes....only joking! No, I didn't but it would have been fun.
    1
  7051. That's great to know
    1
  7052. Many thanks
    1
  7053. Blast!!!!

  7054. Wernher von Braun
    1
  7055. Actually, we call them FV430 (four-three-zero).
    1
  7056. ?
    1
  7057. No, they never were.
    1
  7058. Its was removed by YouTube some time ago.
    1
  7059. Drat!
    1
  7060. Bit like trusting the British concerning the death of Himmler?
    1
  7061. Youtube rules concerning dead bodies - I don't want my videos restricted or blocked.
    1
  7062. Check the description box
    1
  7063. I will eventually
    1
  7064. I've made a video about this on my other channel.
    1
  7065. Fascinating - can you contact me privately? hello@markfelton.co.uk
    1
  7066. No, it was only for the practicalities of the flight over and the jump. They didn't expect to be seen by anyone and they buried the kit shortly after landing.
    1
  7067. ??
    1
  7068. With hairy legs (according to Private Frazer)!
    1
  7069. That's an old illustration, not AI.
    1
  7070. They only vetted British subjects, the RCMP being the biggest and best British Commonwealth police unit in the Americas. Of course, recruiting local men as security guards for BOAC was sensible, we we were not going to send men to the US from Britain to do a job that required firearms familiarisation. Much easier to recruit from former US cops or such like. The assassin fell through the cracks somewhere along the line.
    1
  7071. After the shit storm of messages complaining about them, I thought it wise to limit (but it was hard, believe me!)
    1
  7072. Trust me - he did.
    1
  7073. I'm afraid its well documented - his former castle contains 100,000 examples alone!
    1
  7074. Not my hands - or my money!
    1
  7075. Yes.
    1
  7076. You are referring to Operation Backfire - the British V-2 tests. They were the first Allied firings of V-2s and were made in Northern Germany using captured V-2 rocket teams under British supervision.
    1
  7077. I've made a series of audio episodes about this for my other channel.
    1
  7078. Thanks, will do!
    1
  7079. Thanks, will do!
    1
  7080. Thank you so much.
    1
  7081. It was either that or use a lot of harsh language!
    1
  7082. Thanks for the visit
    1
  7083. Yes - look up the Laconia Incident.
    1
  7084. Not as far as I know - possibly only some V-2 troops to help launch test missiles.
    1
  7085. Thank you for your kind words and for subscribing.
    1
  7086. Many thanks!

    1
  7088. Yes, I will.
    1
  7089. We will
    1
  7090. Many thanks - yes, I am on a Normandy spree at the moment, though my next video is set in the Far East, then I will return to France.
    1
  7091. Probably an armoured regiment member - the helmet was similar to the paratroopers, but without the complex chin straps and rubber padding.
    1
  7092. I will be - I'm moving through the Normandy campaign chronologically.

  7112. Thanks for watching
    1
  7113. No, I'm not. But some very kind people allow me to use their films of models in some of my videos. I think its helpful when little real film may exist of a particular U-boat type, for example.
    1
  7114. Thanks
    1
  7115. Thank you
    1
  7116. The Germans filmed what they discovered in Nemmersdorf after they retook the town - the footage was used for propaganda purposes to stiffen the German will to fight.
    1
  7117. No, the Bismarck sank HMS Hood.
    1
  7118. It is no longer radioactive.
    1
  7119. So you haven't heard of the many books and films I've written or made detailing Nazi war crimes and the Holocaust?
    1
  7120. Bismarck sank the Hood, with plunging fire.
    1
  7121. I haven't removed any comments as yet! Youtube tends to do this without being asked.

  7126. No, I'm a historian. However, are you an idiot? I think we both know the answer to that one.
    1
  7127. What's that got to do with my video about WW2 leaders?
    1
  7128. Some were joint positions!
    1
  7129. Yes, it's Ribbentrop who was 178cm.
    1
  7130. Chairman Mao was 180cm, very tall for a Chinese of the period.
    1
  7131. A petrol station forecourt in Milan after being shot earlier in the day outside a rural villa.
    1
  7132. And we all know how he turned out!
    1
  7133. I know Goering was tested as 138 by his captors in 1945.
    1
  7134. She's a big fan (allegedly)
    1
  7135. I thought he was about 5'1"
    1
  7136. 179cm
    1
  7137. Mao was 180cm
    1
  7138. 179cm
    1
  7139. 180cm
    1
  7140. Many people who grew up during the Great Depression era were smaller than today. Also, poverty and poor diet often made working class soldiers a head shorter than upper class officers - there's plenty of photographic evidence for this from both world wars.
    1
  7141. Don't judge a book by its cover.
    1
  7142. So now you know.

  7154. It's the flag of the Swiss National Front - similar but slightly different from the Danish version. Look it up before making accusations!
    1
  7155. Jog on
    1
  7156. You are referring to Germans taken prisoner at Stalingrad. These prisoners are from Operation Bagration 18 months later.
    1
  7157. I doubt it. Seems rather childish.
    1
  7158. Yes
    1
  7159. Good idea
    1
  7160. Nope.
    1
  7161. Brilliant! Don't forget to put a review on amazon - it really helps!
    1
  7162. Ok - regarding Mackey, I thought it was only pronounced M'Kye when written McKay. And as these were Canadians, I presume they would use my pronunciation, not being Scottish?
    1
  7163. You are correct, it would have survived a head-on collision fine.
    1
  7164. They decayed, then sank. The skeletons decalcified at 2.5 miles depth and disappeared.
    1
  7165. ?

  7166. Not in Britain, it isn't.

    1
  7197. That's great to hear
    1
  7198. Its coming shortly!
    1
  7199. Thank you
    1
  7200. That's pretty much how it happened - I do have a tendency to appear uninvited and start asking questions!
    1
  7201. Wow! It certainly was a very close run thing!
    1
  7202. The army takes its orders from the Ministry of Defence via the PM. The Monarch is nothing more than a ceremonial leader. To claim otherwise is to utterly misunderstand how this country works and is governed. You need to read some constitutional law. Police officers also swear an oath to the Monarch, does that mean the Monarch can command the police as he pleases? No, the police is governed via the Home Secretary who is answerable to the PM. We would view any interference by the Monarch in criminal cases etc to be undue influence. Look up the 'Prince Charles 'Spider Letters', and the furore created when it was prove the Prince of Wales was exerting private pressure on government ministers regarding projects he was interested in - the affair was deemed to be verging on improper behaviour and abuse of his position.
    1
  7203. I think it was over £10,000
    1
  7204. How can a video critical of King George VI be seen as 'pandering' to the current RF? Suggest you consult a dictionary.
    1
  7205. Brilliant analysis - do you make videos as well?
    1
  7206. You have completely missed the point of my video - I suggest you watch again and then engage your brain with some critical thinking afterwards before approaching the keyboard.
    1
  7207. Help your family by all means, but using the British Army as your personal unpaid removals firm to do it for you, if only we all had such facilities in a family emergency!
    1
  7208. I looked hard, but finding surviving documentary material to prove this is impossible - as I mentioned, the War Diary was tampered with, so the operation was not advertised.
    1
  7209. Different action - different video
    1
  7210. I believe that is called an 'Absolute Monarchy', certainly not a constitutional monarchy as we have now, including in Canada, my friend.
    1
  7211. The question is - how many other rules were bent?
    1
  7212. But I did don a uniform and swear an oath to Queen Elizabeth II....in the Boy Scouts.
    1
  7213. Yes, I made a video about it.
    1
  7214. I don't imply anything - the King used state resources for the granting of personal favours to his extended family - that is a textbook example of abusing his position.
    1
  7215. We don't know - see my video on it.
    1
  7216. Good point - I didn't think of that.

  7231. Jodl never received the Knight's Cross. It wasn't standard for all senior German officers, it had to be earned the hard way.
    1
  7232. That's probably because he also uses iMovie!
    1

    1
  7239. You should read up - the initial V-1 campaign caused mass & largely unofficial evacuations from London, a lot of lost hours of production and very extensive damage. Up to 1.5 million people left London by September 1944 – only 20% were "official" evacuees. I'd say civilian morale was certainly 'tested'.
    1
  7240. Correct - about 20,000 foreign forced and slave labourers perished.
    1
  7241. Same to you!
    1
  7242. I think you will find nearly all historians will disagree with you.
    1
  7243. I've mentioned it repeatedly in many videos, including German mistreatment and murder of Soviet POWs in this video. Unblock your ears!
    1
  7244. Thats all I have.
    1
  7245. No, I'm not.
    1
  7246. You rather miss the point I fear.
    1
  7247. Yes.
    1
  7248. They repeated the whole speech in English immediately afterwards.
    1
  7249. Courteous employees, yes I carried my rucksack throughout and I had a very nice pee in Hitler's lavatory!
    1
  7250. They repeated it in English straight afterwards!
    1
  7251. Some, but I'm in no way fluent.
    1
  7252. Now, now!
    1
  7253. I've written 22!
    1
  7254. You are correct
    1
  7255. It became infamous in 1945, during Operation Undertone - "The Battling Bastards of Bitche" - it's pronounced something like 'Beesh'.
    1
  7256. You misunderstand. Germany invaded Poland with which Britain and France had an agreement to protect. Therefore, Britain and Germany declared war on Germany on 3 September 1939. France was actually doing what it had promised to do - attack a belligerent Germany.
    1
  7257. I know, but I don't want to be explaining that all day!
    1
  7258. I did once
    1
  7259. Hitler was burned fully clothed and covered in a blanket.
    1
  7260. It's on the list - a great story!
    1
  7261. That was Albert Speer.
    1
  7262. I believe he was 6'4".
    1
  7263. I've written 22 books, so there's plenty to choose from!
    1
  7264. The original photo is in the collection of the Imperial War Museum, in black and white you nit!
    1
  7265. Typo
    1
  7266. I show only cold hard facts.
    1
  7267. As I said
    1
  7268. Yes, Parliament has the power to abolish the monarchy, as indeed it did once before.
    1
  7269. Best you don't watch my work if it upsets you so much.
    1
  7270. Yes I did. No will and they can't find any descendants.
    1
  7271. The Commonwealth nations have to pay the full costs of royal visits, including security.
    1
  7272. Typo.
    1
  7273. The tourism argument has long since been debunked by many different commentator and publications - it is a lie and you'd do well to educate yourself concerning royal finances before slinging mud at me!
    1
  7274. Fence sitting all day must be painful.
    1
  7275. So nice of you
    1
  7276. Winston Churchill
    1
  7277. A few of the men on the Little Foxley list actually committed suicide, while a few were hanged. Fegelein of course was shot on Hitler's order.
    1
  7278. Glad you like them!
    1
  7279. Very kind. I love Peter Coyote - such a great voice.
    1
  7280. Reenactments doctored by me to look old.
    1
  7281. 8,800 to be precise, including over 2,000 concentration camp slave labourers.

  7284. I never suggested an occult answer.
    1
  7285. A stock of torpedoes was built up at Batavia and elsewhere from a variety of sources - there was also a pool of spare crewmen off blockade runners and other German ships
    1
  7286. No, the rest were taken by Japanese subs
    1
  7287. If I can go, I do. I have shot footage for my videos on location all over the world, from Britain to Japan. But because of the number of different subjects I cover, it would be humanly impossible for me to travel everywhere to film, so I sometimes use footage shot by others who kindly help me, particularly at the moment when foreign travel is impossible. Does that answer your question?
    1
  7288. Correct!
    1
  7289. Thanks and welcome
    1
  7290. My pleasure
    1
  7291. Thanks.

  7312. Based on the original French design.
    1
  7313. Thanks for that!
    1
  7314. WWI? No, Hitler kept the FT-17s for his own use.
    1
  7315. So did my maternal grandfather!

  7316. Thanks, will do!

  7337. Official reports of the period confirm the veracity of this account - people were too busy fighting to worry about making up fairy tales, and I tend to believe the officers on the spot who witnessed these events and reported up the chain of command

  7361. To be fair, Singapore was only the final act to a campaign that began on 8 December 1941 in northern Malaya. A terribly mismanaged and avoidable campaign and an unnecessary defeat.
    1
  7362. Already have
    1
  7363. You are too kind.
    1
  7364. Stock footage - I do my best to find actual or close footage to illustrate what I’m talking about. It’s not easy!
    1
  7365. Already have

  7384. I saw four shopping the other day in central Norwich - they looked pretty real to me!
    1
  7385. I also got a case of the willies twice at a location associated with Hitler - video next year perhaps!
    1
  7386. Probably the thought of not having to attend Fuhrer Situation Conferences ever again.
    1
  7387. Yet the Americans kept the Eagle's Nest and several of Hitler's cars, not to mention the British and Americans using some of his train carriages.
    1
  7388. I'm not - watch my video on Edward VIII, among others.
    1
  7389. It was October, I believe, if that helps.
    1
  7390. Actually, photographing on a public street is completely legal in the UK.
    1
  7391. A friendly invasion

    1
  7399. You could say that!
    1
  7400. Actually, I've made a video about the British involvement in the Ardennes campaign.
    1
  7401. I've tried other theatres, such as the Far East, and find that the viewing figures are normally considerably lower.
    1
  7402. Actually, reports mention muddy snow in the fields around Kesternich at the time of the battle. Further south the snow did indeed arrive later.
    1
  7403. Because I'm discussing American officers - when I mention British I always use the British pronunciation.
    1
  7404. Because most people assume that one male soldiers were serving close to the front.
    1
  7405. Soon, I think. I've been doing some research on him of late.
    1
  7406. Nope
    1
  7407. Then why watch it?
    1
  7408. I've been in many tv documentaries over the years.
    1
  7409. No, I don't.
    1
  7410. What are you blathering about? I covered all the possible theories put forward by historians and spooks over eight decades.
    1
  7411. Actually, I'd say rather atypical behaviour.
    1
  7412. Yes, I did.
    1
  7413. Fourth cousin to the Red Baron.
    1
  7414. He had two brothers, both WW1 pilots.
    1
  7415. Thank you.
    1
  7416. That is incredibly kind of you - hopefully I can take up your offer in the future.
    1
  7417. My pleasure!
    1
  7418. Hello there!
    1
  7419. To hopefully educate people about the truth and counter the insidious nonsense peddled on many websites.
    1
  7420. Then you need to read lots of books and educate yourself then you might see just how ridiculous Bacque's claim was.
    1
  7421. I base my work on evidence only - show me the evidence of the 1 million dead in these camps. You can't because it doesn't exist. I made a fair video some time ago about how US soldiers cold-bloodedly shot SS troops during the liberation of Dachau - why would I have done that if I was an apologist? Because it actually happened and is well-documented.
    1
  7422. I'd rather not - I wrote about it in 'The Devil's Doctors'. Horrid subject.
    1
  7423. I think he looks like a very scared man trying to look resolute.
    1
  7424. In English, Generaloberst is always described as 'Colonel-General'.
    1
  7425. Much appreciated!
    1
  7426. You can see why I hated French at school!
    1
  7427. His wife died of cancer in Italy in 1946 and his children were fostered/adopted.
