History Channel: Who are you?
Mark Felton: I am you but with less aliens.
And all the reality programmes they now have
Crashed and burned by all accounts.
Less Aliens? You forget all the non-germans in the SS - technically they were all 'aliens" ;)
@@noremorsewoodworking2258 r/whooo--
nahhh, you know the rest..
And without the weird praising of nazis History channel got going on
As a Bosnian, I am very grateful that you told this long forgotten story Mark!
hi. give me a shout on facebook ..john masterton
Yeah cause you know its going to be a quality watch lol
Love BiH from Greece
As a Bosnian yourself, what do you think of the Israel-Palestine conflict (1948-) and Iran?
@@sladetuner8661 I myself am a Bosnian. What I think about the conflict in Palestine/Israel. In my eyes, divide the country, recognize Palestine AND Israel, as the soil is both Muslim and Hebrew. Abour Iran on the other hand? Neutral feelings but a bit cautios about their Armed Forces and them having.... Nuclear Weapons.
Usually I do not comment but for this video I couldn't stay quiet. I was born in Yugoslavia (Vojvodina province in Serbia, Bachka region) and my grandfather (Croatian origin) was recruited by Hungarian army. I remember like it was yesterday he told me many WW2 stories from his days.. As Croatian minority in Hungarian army he did the worst jobs like transporting wet Danube sand on his back, being constantly bullied by officers. In 1944 he ran away from the squad and wanted to join the Soviets but they put him in a concentration camp as he was wearing the Hungarian uniform. He survived as he spoke Russian, Serbo-croatian and Hungarian so Soviets engaged him as a translator. Wanted to say that the situation in Yugoslavia during WW2 was extremely complicated and it is very hard to understand even for best experts in this subject. This video as it is a pure jewel of knowledge. Thanks Mark!!!
Interesantna i neobična priča o tvom dedi.
I understand.... We indians also had it very bad under the Brits
My great grandfather fought for the Germans, I was born in Bosnia near Cazin, I remember as punishment he could never get any retirement pension. I wish I could have asked him more questions about the war but he died before I could really understand what ww2 really was.
You didn't fought for your beliefs, ypu fought for first army came to your city or vilage.
@@gipsybulldog3286 ok superman you fought for everyone's beliefs
Always amazes me how so many of today’s issues have roots in both World War One and World War Two
The Kids should learn
The problems in former Yugoslavia go back a lot further than WW1 and WW2.
Any issue has root in the past, most of the times in the distant past (before 20th century I mean)
Thats history in a nutshell.
True. Problem is people keep forgetting.
There will be a mutiny if our history commander Mark Felton stops making these quality videos.
Mutiny? I assume you are using a mild reference here.
@@bigblue6917 what do you think?
a revolution will happen
I would have suggested a coup d’ etat, but then I realised no other could bring us such quality history videos as our beloved Supreme Commander Mark Felton.
@@sabjiyom2893 good idea but the consequences are too severe
I'm from Bosnia, and even here we haven't been taught some of the things you mentioned, thank you Mark for spreading all this knowlegde
Is it true that in Bosnia you are taught only islam, where you must listen and obey the 7th century arabs?
@lastone You're asking about the last war? It depends on who you're asking, you can ask all 3 major ethnic groups here the same question and you would have 3 different answers.
@@IRISHINFIDEL I hope this is bait, but no, you can choose whether you want your kids to attend religious studies at school or not, it's not mandatory
@@randomusername7096 why do you care their kids ? Why it hurt you being Muslim ? Shame on you Human!!
@@IRISHINFIDEL Why do you care than? Even if you leaved yours ! Anyway respect our religion, and You must know one thing. The religion isn’t from Arabs! The best thing is we can live together as peacefully. The planet is to Big thought that!!
Mark thanks for this topic. As a Bosnian it is amazing to see you doing better job than most of the local historians. Congratulation.
He did? Lots of misinformation here.
@@martinsuper4545 elaborate then
@@donsly375 I did. Find my breakdown post.
@@martinsuper4545 I agree 100%, i wouldn't know where hi found all these facts, as they are not available anywhere online. Or in historic books as a matter of fact.
I am French and I never heard about this in school, thank you
One thing i have learned about ww2 - the more i know the less i know.
This is quite true about any specific subject related to any history, biographies, or archeology: anywhere, anytime!
@@tttyuhbbb9823 truth
WWII was so vast that nobody will ever know more than a fraction of what happened.
We are certain that we know 20%
We think that we know another 30%
And there is another 50% that we will never know
The opposite end of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Me from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
I watch all your videos......
My grandfather took part in World War 2. He was the District Adjutant of the British India Home Guard. He fought against the Japanese on the Burma Front.
@Mr Blackzed Thanks a lot. Pray for the peace of his soul, he passed away in 2006 at the age of 98.
Your grandfather is a hero! He is part of the greatest generation that ever lived.
@@kaa13 good post.........my grandfather was a medic in the Canadian army and got hit in the head with shrapnel in Holland. They sent him home and he was never the same afterwards.....
Shame about the Bengal Famine. Absolutely horrendous act by Churchill.
That’s an amazing story, your Grandfather is part of history it was a different world. In English when you talk or write about yourself use I’m(I am) from Bangladesh, instead of Me. Good luck.
As a Bosnian, thank you for teaching me this history
@Mr Devil both my grandfathers fought in B&H in the Ustaśa, amazing history
Its insane to think Germany lost that conflict the whermacht had 13 million men plus auxillary forces not only from bosnia but from many diffrent european countries
The greatest thing about Mark's videos, is that he takes everything seriously. He doesn't exaggerate everything, or make the war seem less bloody and horrifying than it really was. He just shows straight footage, provides the audience with facts, and nothing more. This man is a legend.
I always love the music at the beginning of each episode.
Goosebumps
Whats the name of the music ?
Did anyone now ?
Yup, instant Return To Castle Wolfenstein atmosphere.
My new ringtone. ;o)
MFP again manages to teach us about WWII's lesser-known events.
Keep up the good work!
Agreed
Well put hugolafhugolaf
I'd wager there are a lot of these stories still waiting to be discovered, especially from smaller European countries. There's no glory in them so of course they're not well known.
Feeding us that sweet, sweet history crack.
I've never heard about this, I've been learning about WW2 for years and I've never seen anything like this! Thanks for sharing!
I was "taught" history by rote (dates, kings, battles but no context) in school in the 1960s and it was a dry, boring and featureless plain. Since watching Dr Mark Felton and also The History Guy, I have reached an oasis and I drink deeply from their combined fountains of knowledge. Thank you to you both for wonderful, interesting and thoroughly enjoyable history lessons.
I had never even heard of a mutiny in Waffen SS ranks. This is a great vignette. Thank you.
me neither. i thi k i heard of cleansi g in tbe hanshar ss division. but if memory serves correct was not full strength div like some divs. perhaos the nord div was the same?
@@reesefowler40 If not Waffen SS, what were they?
@@jasondaniel918 EXACTLY.
@@reesefowler40 I a not intending to be argumentative just for the sake of argument. Waffen SS formations were filled with non-Germans. I did some Google searching and it seems that Himmler really liked and was very proud of "his" Muslim soldiers. HE was very accepting of them as Waffen SS members.
@@reesefowler40 dude they literally had totenkampfs and the eagle/swastika on their fez lmao. doesn't get more ss than that.
Man I wish my Grandpa was still around, he would have loved this channel. He was the lower bubble gunner in the B-17 during the Pacific theater.
That's the ball turret.
A lot of turret gunners froze their fingers off while in service. It's mighty cold up there. And a lot more died in action. For our freedom.
Wow mad respects on your Grandfather's service.....Amen
@Kenny the G Patton led the 7th army in Italy and later the 3rd in north-western Europe .
@@slick4401 Pretty sure he knew that. There were a number of unofficial (and rude) nick-names for the Sperry or ERCO ball turrets.
There's a huge difference between knowing some about WW2 and being properly educated.
Mr. Felton, you surely are properly educated. I really like how you show us the oddball things that made WW2 more complex of an event than most people like to admit.
Thanks and keep up the good work, sir ☝
As a Bosnian, thank you for teaching me this history, thanks Mark.
I knew from the 1st second that this would not end well for the mutineers.
"Erica" music censored by youtube would have deepened the impact of your prescient insight.
If you're gonna mutiny, you'd better: a - win, and b - have a plan for what happens afterwards
If only they had waited a year or two
@@richardkluesek4301 Mark has used Erika a few times.
@@macblackadder93 Yes thank you for making my point snd I miss the theme for WW2 presentations showcasing the villains.
Mark it is so important for people to know that learning about history does not have to be a negative thing..you dont have to take anything from your videos other than enjoyment,new knowledge and maybe a greater understanding of why things are what they are..You are admirably neutral and ultra professional...thats why you are heading for a bloody well deserved 1 million subscribers.
Congratulations.👍
Well said and absolutely correct. Good show old boy.
Why would ANYONE think that there is anything negative about learning history? Few subjects are more fascinating, fun, and important. Remember that gold nugget about what happens to people who fail to study history...?
Yes. I did notice it was relievingly neutral and not laden with proper anti-German talk think
Man kann nichts aus der Geschichte lernen, weil es keine allgemeingültige Maxime gibt. Geschichtsstudium erstes Semester.

Leans over: what'd he say?
I love your language brother.!
Genuinely can’t fathom how you create such great videos and put them out so frequently. Easily one of if not the best history you tuber out there
My grand father was a interpreter for this group thank u for giving me the chance to learn more about him
my grandfather was a member of SS Handschar. Where was your grandfather from?
Nobody comes close to releasing the amount of content you do while keeping true to the quality that all your videos have, keep it up!
There's forgotten weapons
@@user-njyzcip and the time ghost folks with their ww2 week by week
As a Muslim, I have deep respect for Mark Felton, he has great knowledge and content which outdo anything anyone else can do
Keep it up and thanks for all your knowledge, Allah bless you.
Bro its haram to say Allah bless you to a non muslim. Only Alah guide you
@@hellothere1201 could simply be an attempt to bridge a real or perceived gulf between him and Mark.
This is a nice work! Thanks for this.
As a Bosnian I have to say; most of Bosnians were actually a part of Tito's Partisans Resistance movement against the Axis. But of course, some of them were recruited to form the Bosnian Muslim Axis division in other for Hitler to gain popularity within the Bosnian Muslim majority in Bosnia. They did not succeed in gaining Hitler's popularity because at first, Handjar division should have been a local division which should have protected Muslim citizens from Chetnik Serbs committing crime against them. Instead, they were transferred outside of Bosnia and betrayed by the Nazis. They were not ideologically Nazis but only way to get weapons and equipment to help their own community against the Serbs' crimes was getting it from the Nazis.
Lastly, I have to say that it's wrong for you to say that these Bosnian Muslims were speaking Serb-Croatian because we have our own language - Bosnian.
mak ,
this is true. it is best seen today. Bosniaks, Bosnians in the Croatian army ... only cannon fodder, what ideology, what copper, pure nonsense. you will be put in a situation to defend your family and you have no weapons
Većina vas prvo treba prvo da nauči razliku između slova č i ć, kao i dž i đ, pa onda možemo da pričamo o ozbiljnijim stvarima kao što je postojanje nekakvog “ bosanskog” jezika. Postoji isto kao sto postoji “ austrijski” jezik
This video answers a few questions I have acquired over the years through my eclectic reading of adventure and history.
Thank you Mark Felton.
I'm gonna mutiny on my responsibilities for a while and watch this Dr. Mark video!!!
As someone who is from Bosnia, I remember this getting mentioned in one of my history lectures, but I never took it too seriously and though that it is more or less some of the more legend-based history stories since not that many people talked about it. But over the years I found it interesting to learn that there has been some truth in it.
Mark Felton managed to teach more about WW2 than I thought I knew. Thank you Dr Felton, loving the teaching videos.
How do you find these stories?!?!?! Once again Mark Felton Productions puts out pure effing gold
Dam I got to make Lunch. Will watch as soon as I get back.
But it’s 5:24!

Mark : Hold my Mutiny!
Does anybody remember the history cha for what it used to be
Agree, I remember in the 90’s it was great. Now it devotes all of its time to Big Foot and ancient aliens from space! I gave up on it 10-15 years ago!

Damn....Mark Felton shines again !
You keep digging and coming up with Gold.
I love how now every video starts with Dr. Mark Felton staring at you while menacing music plays in the background
Another history lesson with professor Felton . Exellent !
Professor Felton is the best .
You're one of the few CZcams sites that's honest. God bless you Mark
Hello Mark! I am so glad that I can finally put a face to your voice and I take this opportunity to thank you so much for all the highly informative historical videos that you offer to us... Take care and stay healthy!
Never knew that there was mutiny in the Waffen-SS thanks for the information.
oh yes there were a few
@@sully1527 Several Finnish SS individuals among 75,000 men attacked the Austrians. Not really a revolt but a police force. They had been considering it for more than a year.
@John Smith They belonged to the SS but were not part of the SS. In the unit title is "der SS".
neither did I. never expected it.
Only Bosnians are crazy and brave to make a mutiny in SS😂
I love how you come up with this type of amazing previously unheard of history. Thank you Dr Felton, and keep up the great work.
Agreed
As a 40 year vertain military historian myself, Mark never surprises me with his research. You are all capable of digging out these stories. Mark is top of the tree on CZcams
Thank you Mark I’ve been watching history you tubers like you for years now you’ve really helped spark my love in history now I’m starting my history major :)
Loving the recent videos Mark, thanks for the consistent uploads. Hope you're staying safe (and to all who read this)!

Almost 1 million. Been supporting since 400k which isn't special but due to you I have been learning more and being more interested in military history. Much love from your subscribers
I always learn something new from Mark Felton Productions!
Maybe you could also cover the Georgian uprising in 1945 on Texel the Netherlands.
Those cowards, who thought they could save themselves by attacking their German colleagues at night. Aparently they got lucky when sent home
@@marcblank3036 Stalin welcomed the majority back. But apart from the massacre on the first night the Georgians fought very bravely.

Always good to see you Mark, great video!
Professor Felton i have utmost respect of your extensive coverage of all theathres of WWII So many unheard stories you dig out for us. And opening music theme? It created Pavlov reflex for me.
Thank you Mark for another excellent look into historical information that seems to be missing from the overall history of the combat in France during the War. Good presentation and good research.
You amaze me with the interesting subjects you bring up. Truly
This should help you understand Bosnian war 1992-1995.
These videos are just amazing and very informative.
Congratulations
Great video. History of any time period is usually oversimplified. Dr. Felton continues to show the world how murky any time period or conflict can be.
Thank you Dr. Felton for showing all sides of humanity. I've studied WWII for 40 years and am continually amazed by your videos.
its a good day when mark posts! now get your audio podcast on Spotify!!
An unknown page of history. Thx for your job. It's an excellent video. History is not so simple. 👍👏
Mark is literally An academic Jesus to History Channel's Sadducees. This man should be Prime Minister.
very intersting mark! it is the little things that people miss and we enjoy....great job at portraying this story.
Another amazing video Mark! Great detail and storytelling!!
My dads uncle was taken as an prisoner in Bosnia when he was 15, and was sent to Austria to serve the German army, but was later moved to the Eastern front and was a survivor of Stalingrad. He returned home in 1945, as a skinny 19yo with eyes full of terror and fear. Rest in peace Mustafa.
