    I heard all these names growing up. My great grand mother who passed away 2 years ago at the age of 90 had a husband in Germany that died before she fled to the US. I always suspected they were Nazis, we’ve since found Nazi clothing she brought with her. She never told anyone who he was and she changed her last name back to her maiden name. The mystery will always bother me.

      I think they had a love for their own but hated their enemies. At least that's how it would make sense to me. And sadly, human nature can be very ugly, especially in the right circumstances. It's easy to care for others when things are going well but if the zombie apocalypse or war happened then we would turn against each other for survival.

      I think that even if they had hate for their enemies, it would still take an extremely evil person to shoot pregnant women in the back of their heads, kill up to 1.5 million jewish children because of their race or not measuring up to what was expected, thousands more from other races were also targeted, pregnant women, children and the elderly where the first to be gassed, others in concentration camps were left to starve or die from hypothermia or disease simply because they were of no use, children were experimented on, raped and so many other atrocities. How could anyone walk past a starving, cold child and turn a blind eye without being evil? How could you kill babies just born, or line 2 yr olds up and shoot them in their heads without having any sympathy? These people were the embodiment of humanities worst traits and I hope their after life is hell

      You forget they were brought up in an environment of Nazi ideology. You can't even call it "Brainwashed" because that was the only "truth" these children were thought. Something you experienced/learned from a VERY young age will always remain in your system. No matter how hard they tried to Denazify them after the war. Think of yourself, as a person: the values you learned, all the stuff at school: it formed and created who you are today; character differences aside. Same goes for the Nazi's kids. As far as they were concerned their parents were just normal employees of The Reich; doing their thing...

      But they grew up loving mom and dad and being loved by them in return. Finding out they were very different people in a time of upheaval two or more decades before would shake them up but not change the fact that they know, love, trust and revere the people who have been GOOD and loving parents to them. Who they were wouldn't matter so much to their children. Who they became and still are is what matters to them. You cannot fault a child (of any age) from looking at it that way. That war criminal is NOT the person they've known and respected their whole lives. The war criminal is someone they don't know. Of course they will publically defend them! Wouldn't you? They're your mom and dad.

    As a German who also has a PHD in History and focusing on German, especially Contemporary German History & works with the IFZ in München, i really gotta say that
    Mark Felton's Videos on these Topics are the best you can get in English on CZcams, i never noticed any Exaggerations nor Downplaying of any Detail of a certain Topic, which is very neutral and what a proper Historian is meant to do. Same goes for the Fact that Mark doesn't cherry pick nor leave some Details out in order to "present" it in a certain Way.
    This is one of the most important Qualities a Historian has to have. And yes, there are those who do all of these Things i just mentioned and the Viewer/Reader will never notice it because they're not knowledgable about the Topic. So if you're someone who is just interested in these Topics, but didn't study them, you're at the Right Place.
    I put a ton of Importance into Accuracy and Neutral Presentation, and i have yet to watch a Video of Mark i wasn't completely satisfied with.

      A German here. My grandmother was a nurse. She survived the war with her 6 children, in the post-war period 2 children died as a result of starvation and polio.
      She did her best, but she was alone.
      She developed heart disease and died of a heart attack at the age of 64.
      I remember an incident when she visited her again in the hospital because of her illness.
      Well, I was still very young and visiting sick people is often very boring for children.
      So I go out of the room and walked down the hall. In another room two nurses were talking to each other. "who brings "The Dragon" their tea?" Nobody wanted to be the one.
      And I thought, "Oh, you have a dragon here too?" (I was still in my "Prince saves princess from dragons"- phase).
      I was very surprised when it became clear that my dear grandma was "the dragon".
      I knew her as a gentle, lovable and warm-heart person, she always worked a lot and was otherwise full of strength ... but she hated being sick and helpless.
      She was a good nurse, but she was a terrible patient. None of the nurses could do it well enough for her. She was like a drill sergant ... hence the nickname "The Dragon". ;)

      I agree. We often forget about the evil that they spread throughout their lineage as well.
      It's disheartening to know how many "former" Nazi's, Nazi's families, and sympathizers moved to South America (and all over Europe and the US) and started their own communities and ignored the fact they needed to pay for their support of racist genocide.
      Evil will always slip through the cracks if it's allowed.

It is convenient to pretend that Nazis came from nowhere, but the truth is that many were normal humans pursuing what they wanted, albeit at high cost. We have to be vigilant about the state of our hearts so that we don't turn a blind eye to suffering and injustice in our individual quests for peace and prosperity.

      ​@@justtracie8636 The Jewish were persecuted for killing Jesus. Man forgets, God doesn't. Please remember the entire story. God sent Jesus to send the Jews the amorites a message. If you don't stop sacrificing children to Moloch (roe v wade) God will destroy you. So Jesus said fine sacrifice me as well. When I return everyone and everything you know will be destroyed as you have destroyed so many lives. Then God assigned Satan with dominion over every realm timeline and dimension God told the devil to make everyone sign a soul contract with the devil and God. Witches are always punished. Sacrificing Jesus was signing their own sacrifice. Enslaved by every god and God that exists. Jesus said if you do it again it's your funeral, they did it anyways. On the surface they're extremely sweet but behind closed doors they're using adrenochrome taking an innocent live to prolong their appearance. Without it they shrivel up into the dust we were created from.

    A friend of mine, Thomas Lewis (Lou) Maxwell was a ball turret gunner on B17 “Paradise Lost”, shot down and then he became a POW. Near the end of his capitivity, he was becoming unacceptably hostile to his SS guards. Mr. Maxwell told me that an SS guard took him into a room and explained forcefully and tactfully to a young Lou Maxwell that he needed to behave, and that his friends would be there soon to release him. Mr. Maxwell credits his survival to that SS guard, God bless that SS guard that kept my friend alive. Mr. Maxwell went on to be a USAF retiree, and a mentor of mine.

    Emmy Goering ended up with the beautiful necklace belonging to Adele Bloch Bauer that was featured in the Klimt painting of her, Woman in Gold. The necklace was never recovered. It is deeply saddening that such a beautiful artifact disappeared for all time, however, it galls me to my core that such a vile creature as Goering ever touched the treasured gift (from her husband) that belonged to the beautiful, vibrant, Adele. There is some comfort in the fact that after so many years the painting of Adele was finally returned to her family. So many belongings of Jewish families were confiscated by the Nazis and never returned to the few who survived. The movie “Woman in Gold” is the story of Adele’s portrait and how it was finally recovered by her niece. It is a story worth watching and knowing!

I got the opinion in my research that they both thought negatively of Eva and Gretal, but little info is available.

    It's no surprise that these wives and daughters clung to the legacies of their husbands and fathers. In the Nazi regime, they had status and material comfort, even as their countrymen suffered privation and death. After the war, they were reduced to being "normal" people, who might have to actually work to support themselves. How could they not have nostalgia for the "good old days"? I'm sure that Gudrun Himmler figured out that by allowing herself to be a "princess" for the neo-Nazi movement, she could once again have status and attention.
