This is where it's at Mr Felton. Keep doing these longer videos 👌🏻
Agreee I miss the long videos
I'm still waiting for Mr Felton to make a video about Soviet atrocities, or atrocities by RAF (like Dresdan) or the fact that Gen Eisenhower purposely starved to death hundreds of thousands of German POW's within the first month of Germanys surrender.
It's Dr. Felton, not Mr. Felton.
Thanks Grandmom@@dr.barrycohn5461
Exactly
First "audio book" I've ever listened too. I'm very impressed. Having trouble with declining eye sight, (I'm 85), I think I might start using audiobooks. Thank you, Mr. Felton.
As a lifelong reader and a history buff, I used to say I’d never listen to audiobooks. I liked my own pace and have my own voices that sit well in my head as I read. But after listening to a couple of books out of curiosity, I am a changed person. I absolutely love listening to an audiobook well read by a pro, an actor and voice actor/narrator. They also work like a charm as ‘adult bedtime stories,’ books I know well but still love the audible rereads. Treat yourself, friend, and enjoy them.
Thanks for your comment.

You will LOVE audiobooks. I have been listening to them for years. I drove cost to cost across the USA a trip over 10,000 miles and listened to audiobooks the entire way. I still listen to them especially as a sleep aid. I have an audio library on audible of over 2,000 books, several hundred from iTunes, and over a hundred on Chips. I have ben listening since I became disabled in 2005 and could not read heavy printed books. I have returned less than 200 books in total so I can say it is most definitely worth acquiring audiobooks! ENJOY!
@@nanabutner
Nice size collection! Happy listening ~~~~~
I recommend that audio books are terrific
Mark, thank you for bringing the series out in one extra long episode.
I’m not touching this documentary. It’s amazing!!!!
Outstanding analysis and presentation of the history. As a Roman Catholic, I am particularly intrigued and shocked by the Vatican connection.
Keep reading the lesser known history of the Roman Catholic Church and Jesuits etc. They always play both sides of the game 🎮. As Jesus said, "many will come in my name and say, I am Christ, and shall deceive many."
You neglected to say "deeply ashamed" but I don't think that the thoroughly indoctrinated can feel shame. They helped nazi war criminals escape. What is left for you to believe in?
The Catholic Church NEVER EXCOMMUNICATED HITLER WHO WAS A CATHOLIC!
Please look into the history of the Catholic Church from at least 300”s on to the present s3x abuse scandals and that will give you a much better view of the catholic church
Centuries of crime. In our age, they worked with the nazis, and globally they have allowed pedophile priests to prey on children repeatedly. When it gets too hot with angry parents and all, they would just move the priest to another location, to begin with the kids again. Pure evil.
A friend was schooled by nuns. She said they were most vicious, sadistic people she ever met.
Ever noticed how many perverts there are in organized religion?@@josephkezior4730
These stories are an amazing historical achievement worthy of an award. They should be required listening in every university in the west. Thanks for your work and professional efforts.
I worked at Bell Aerospace in 1983. There were quite a few old timers there. They talked about the arrogant German scientists that would walk around in their white lab coats. Many of them had their secretaries from Germany with them. The union at Bell was a rough crowd and they would not get out of the way when the German scientists came their way. Imagine how many of the US guys had fought against them.
Fascinating! Thank you for that. 😊
Brits had as much chance to go to space as russians and Americans, they were just too lazy to do it. Felton is rather bitter on the issue obviously.
@@Sven_Dongleour country was on its arse thanks to USA ripping us off for useless out of date ships and weapons before Hitler decided to declare war on them
@@Sven_Dongle
The US economy boomed during the war, and the Russians had a massive slave labour force. Britain was pretty much bankrupt.
Mark. Thanks for providing my Sunday night entertainment!
Mark, thanks so much for putting all the effort you do into this magnificent historical research. The fact that you make this available to us for free is nothing short of incredible. Thank you!
Thank you Mark. It’s important we never forget these despicable men and their terrible crimes.
nor the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church, the US Gov't, the Soviet Gov't and as well as France who picked up the crumbs for their own space program
WW2 wasn’t a marvel movie. There wasn’t a good side and a bad side, just winners and losers. The winners had their war crimes ignored, the losers did not.
Our allies the communists were far worse than the Germans
None of this would have happened if Poland just gave up Danzig
@@chrisporter9397 That’s a really naive statement, and even something Adolf Hitler strongly disagree with at the time.
@@chrisporter9397 Are you joking? Hitler literally set out his long term plan for the Soviet Union.
Mark Felton is probably the best CZcams producer of high quality material. Very educating and extraordinary informative. Sir, I salute you!
Thanks Mark, I'd already made a Playlist of the individual stories consolidated into one but now I'll add this to my ww2 bedtime stories.
Thank you so much for posting this in one contiguous video. I’ve listen to all the episodes over and over but now that it’s long form, I’m gonna dive into it again.
I appreciate you bundling all your videos into one long one.
Or at the others one long video split into smaller videos ?
@@unnamedchannel1237 yeah there’s a series of several shorter videos but lately Felton has been compiling his works which is nice
Thank you for bringing this information forward to new generations who are not taught history!
I absolutely LOVE your channel Mark and I want to say thank you for all the free videos you release.
I'm currently listening to this as I work and I can't thank you enough for the entertainment and information you provide with these audio-only episodes.
Keep up the great work Mark and I plan to support you through Patreon or a Super Thanks soon!
😢😢😢😢😢 9:29 Mark I absolutely love your documentaries. I am a history nerd and proud of it. You make yours so exciting and educational. Best I've ever seen. Thank you
More long form. You are already amazing, but these omnibus videos are GOLD. Thank you.
This is a special episode worthy of a Full Download for future reference,thank you Sir!
Absolutely love the audio versions, just thought I'd drop in to let you know 😊
I thought you just have to go to the Canadian parliament and wait for the applause.
Well said! 🇬🇧
Some family reunions of our illustrious federal government members are no better. Freeland...cough cough...wink wink...
I'm sorry for our government, world. Such a f embarrassment...
@@SWATT101 I'm sure there are some good Canadians, but why don't we ever hear from you? 🇬🇧
I don’t think that Canadians are aware that a large proportion of Ukrainian emigrants are there because Banderistas did not want to face the music for killing civilians from the locals. For wearing the Hugo Boss the soviets would give a special welcome to their comrades and fellow travellers in socialism.
Thank you so much for putting in that extra bit of perfection to your channel by combining all of your Rat Lines episodes into one easy to read episode! Your work is absolutely FLAWLESS!!!
I have a 3 hour drive ahead of me, I was waiting to start that drive to listen to this 😊
even though i have listened to the rat line series separately from Mark. I look forward to it all again in one episode 🤩
I was just thinking about this topic, and you uploaded this. Mark, you are the best Historian ever sir.
Superb series! Great work, Dr. Felton! Keep up the great docs!
Good show, ! Mr Felton you did your research. It is replete with facts and figures. Historical references to back it up. Well done Sir.
I just love when you put out long merged versions.
Great stuff a Felton epic! Cheers Mark.🏴🇬🇧
Wow! Long one. Will get around to it for sure! Thanks
Please make more war stories! I love the longer videos and hearing these intriguing stories. "A thousand miles to freedom" was really great to listen to.
Love everything you do Dr Felton, thanks for making these videos
Great audio story for a sunday afternoon 👌
Thanks mate 👍
A repeat listening. Thanks !!
Brilliant Mark, like all your stuff its clear and easy to follow and more so it’s easy understand and take in.
Defo the best in You Tube
So, so good. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and research.
the vatican has a lot to answer for.
Smuggling nazis barely makes their top ten of fucked up shit they have done.
Mark Felton is a Historian Legend. Thanks for all your hard work.
Pure gold! Keep 'em coming Mark.
The legend does it again, brilliant piece here mark
According to an old lady of my acquaintance who lived in the far east in the 60s, many war criminals worked for German companies in Japan which did not have a treaty with Germany and lived out their lives there.
A small correction here, nitpicking a bit here, perhaps: The Vaterländische Front was not a paramilitary organisation. It was the political organisation, or unity party, if you will, the Austrian fascists created after fully establishing their regime in 1934. The Heimwehr, or Home Guard, were paramilitary fascist units in the 1920's and 1930's, and to a degree served the same purpose as the SA did in Germany. They were instrumental in putting down the uprising of Austrian Social Democrats in February 1934, who had decided to finally resist the cold and slow coup d'etat the Austrian fascists had been carrying out since March 1934. (To be precise: It was only parts of the Austrian Social Democrats and their paramilitary organization Schutzbund who participated in the belated uprising.)

Just downloaded this, will be listening to it during drive time this week. Thanks Dr. Felton!
Awesome video!!
Bravo! Thank you
The best history channel by a country mile!
Mark, your too good to us! You’re NO1
A dark. mysterious and fascinating subject. Been on my mp3 player since first released.
Cheers, Mark!
Actually Rudel was awarded the Golden Oak Leaves ... I think the only one to have it awarded. He was an ace with 9 kills, but his true fame came as a Stuka pilot destroying 100's of tanks etc.
HELL FRIGGIN YEAH (thank you so much for this, Dr. Felton)
Eye opening.
Many thanks.
I am enjoying the series.
Really interesting and informative. Thanks.
Well, guess it’s time for a third listen.
I’m in the same 24 hour period with my third watch, and not a bit embarrassed to admit to it.
The finest historian alive!
I listen to all of these and am trying to study history.
It helps me understand today and what sorts of things we could do if things ever got bad!
Gotta see this soon
Hi, Dr. Felton!
Would it be possible for you to launch these stories as podcasts on Spotify?
I like this long form. Really good information.
Epic
Brilliantly written and narrated Mark, as usual. A terrible subject really but these historical facts need to be broadcast, especially in these troubling times. Thanks so much for this..
And another annotation: Alois Hudal was in fact Austrian - he was head of the church of Santa Maria Dell'Anima, which is considered the German church in Rome. He did have rather explicit German nationalist leanings and sympathies for the Nazis.
P.S.: Just heard you clarify that after the first erroneous mention.
Man, that theme song. Such heart. ❤
Brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The word “Roman” is actually “gHeroman” prior to old English spelling shift and “Germanic and Slavic” phonetic shifts.
There has never been a separation from what is “Roman” and what is “German”.
Not linguistically since “AD” times at least.
Please that opening jingle to your videos is very challenging
Guess we'll never really know how many of them got away.
Not to complain, but I wish it had timelines in this video so I could easily navigate to where I stop or next chapter stop and begins
Great work Mark it's hard too believe such evil could walk this earth, they shoveled their conscience into the grave despicable evil.
I want to know what really happened to Boremann. In a book by Joseph Farrell he reproduced a picture of a check drawn on the chase manhattan branch in Buenos Aires with Martin Boremann signature right on it.
Magnificent. More illustrations would have helped, but it was nevertheless a fine production.
a classic
A fascinating and well researched accounting of the search for justice for the many nazi war criminals and their victims , well done Dr.Felton . We will soon be at the place in history where all of the nazis , war criminals or not will have passed into the dust bin of history . One thing is certain , that no one who is born into this world will escape giving an account of the activities of their life to their creator and receiving their eternal reward or punishment . In the Bible book of Hebrews it says , " It is appointed unto man once to die , but after this the judgement , Hebrews . 9:27 the book of Revelation also tells of the final judgement and sentencing of unrepentant mankind by Jesus Christ at the Great White Throne judgement , Rev. 20 : 11-15 . You may " cheat the hangman , but no one can escape God's final judgement . Hitler , Goering , Himmler , Goebbels , they will all stand before God and get justice .
Amen. I’m so tired of the pro Palestinian/pro HAMAS people posting their venom, and one is here in this comments section. They’re everywhere. I have to remember that I am to love and pray for them. They’re so sure of “Americans and Israelis” being so “surprised” in the end. They’re a runaway train wreck and refuse to see that their end is going to be the “surprise.” I’ve never read anything of Nazis believing in anything at all. Like the pro Palestinian/pro HAMAS people say, ‘it’s going to be interesting.’ But we won’t have to worry about their chosen fate, we won’t be here. God’s hand is on all things. His Divine plan is working as we see and hear. God bless, my friend. See you when we get Home.
I made this comment about Rauff in Dr. Felton's video about Rommel's gold, it is now updated:
Rauff's last home in Chile. It was located in what was back then a middle class enclave in Vitacura, one of the most affluent quarters in Santiago. The house became notorious after his demise. Neighbors of course started to tell stories about the house, most of which were obviously made-up memories spurred by Rauff's post mortem notoriety. Interestingly enough, few of the stories were about the man himself. Although many people knew he lived there, Rauff was seldom seen.
The person who told me this, a retired journalist that used to live nearby, said he remembered clearly that the house seemed to have a second gate, the one facing the street being "a false entrance", in his words. In August, 2023, I asked him if he remembers anything else. He said that the wall of the property was very high, likely white, as many of the neighboring houses were, and that the grass and sidewalk outside Rauff's house looked so immaculate, the place felt uninhabited, and that made him uncomfortable when he walked the dog on that side of the street.
I hope this helps anyone interested. I tried to keep it clean from rumor and speculation.
6 hours of audio for me to learn while playing minecraft i love it
The first picture kinda reminds me of you Mr. Felton 😅
I was thinking this
incredible how you mentioned barby but not his role in iran contra
A family relative worked in an administrative department for a large German automotive parts company in Mexico City in the 1970s, and they had several stories of German executives who had been through the war. One such story was about an older man who supposedly was known for being very mean, short with his temper, and just a nasty individual to work with. The younger, West German colleagues were constantly having to apologize for his behavior and trying to get the Mexican staff to understand that this man had seen some and perhaps been a part of some rather horrible things. According to my relative, the man was eventually forced to leave the Mexico office and sent back to Germany after he had outbursts with disabled and what would have been seen as "flawed" individuals to the war time Germans. I've always found the story interesting and thinking of who the man might have been and what their role in the war might have been.
Good morning
Did anyone check with the U.S. and Soviet governments?

Has anyone attempted to use AI as a means of identifying other SS criminals that escaped justice? While most of them would be dead by now, at least we would be able to identify them and add their criminal past to their memory?
The AI voices are getting pretty good
Here I am
👍
Like the airplane, the rocket while first pushed to its potential by an American, was quickly taken and expanded by other countries with more limited resources and a greater desire to expand on new ideas in place of traditional military expenditures which could not give them an edge sans the limitless resources needed to win a war using old mainstays.
We put our money in few new ideas until they were proven viable by Britain or in most cases one of the axis powers.
The fleet carrier was beginning to gain ground but the japanese proved it's power in the attack on pearl harbor ironically. That none of the carriers were in the harbor with the fleet was a stroke of fortune that allowed for the victory at midway. An impossible win if they all sat at the bottom of pearl harbor and needed to be salvaged.
The Germans took rocket science and pushed it into a viable weapons system which with the Advent of nuclear bombs, became a suddenly more attractive if exotic expenditure.
We won the war with browning machine guns, M1 Garands and .45 colt automatics. Teo of those are still in wide use the world round and considered by many the most effective weapons in their class. The garand excepted.
RIP, thanks for trying guys.
2:34 minutes 😊
..Tomorrow Belongs To Me..
The Sun on the meadow is summery warm, the stag in the forest runs free, but gathered together to greet the storm, tomorrow belongs to me.
The branch on the linden is leafy and green, the Rhine gives its gold to the sea, but somewhere a glory awaits unseen, tomorrow belongs to me.
A babe in it's cradle is closing his eyes, the blossom embraces the bee, but soon says a whisper arise arise, tomorrow belongs to me.
Now Fatherland Fatherland show us the sign your children been waiting to see, the morning will come when the world will be mine, tomorrow belongs to me.
Sensational work as always, MF
Seen all of them on TV
One of the SS officials in the photo was Josef Kramer, who was the commandant of Bergen Belsen concentration camp.
He’s mentioned in the ‘Lost Airmen of Buchenwald,’ a great documentary I found. It’s on Tubi, it’s been on Amazon before and may still be. Excellent documentary.
Is that you in the picture?😂
Please Google 'Tiger Force Vietnam '
Soviets were using Nazi scientist as much as us
Correct, anyone saying otherwise has an agenda
all played a dirty game in the 2. world war and before and now.
#always on the back of the mass.
who is throwing the first stone ?
thanks mark for all your work
First picture looks very much like Dirk Bogarde. Are you sure it’s not a publicity shot?
Wow, that does look like sir bogarde!!!!
The more I look it looks like dr. mengele.
Nice work! I like your pronounciation of the german names and words, any other youtuber massacres the german language which gives me the creeps.
I’m from Argentina myself. My father’s side of the family is ethnic German and my mothers side of the family is Hispanic. All my German relatives were here prior to ww2 and there is a large ethnic German population in Argentina. So it’s no surprise that many German Nazi’s fled here to blend in.
Plus Peron had strong ties to Nazi Germany - no fault of the Argentinian people of course.
