Find the Führer: The Secret Soviet Investigation (Episode 1)

It's a good day when Mark Felton uploads

The toothbrush mustache was a popular thing among ww1 soldiers. It was the only facial hair that didn't prevent the seal of a gas mask and was a symbol that the person wearing it was a trench war veteran. In case anyone was what it meant i thought I would share.

Videos like yours are getting harder to find but I’m glad some one is trying so hard to preserve real history.

The last days in Berlin are trully haunting and fascinating on so many levels. How strange that the vast majority of historians concentrate on the events on the battlefield but completely write off this chapter in a few paragraphs. Thanks for your continuous work!

There is not a human alive that was more born than to teach the world history. I mean his intellect, voice and persona, are all built for this, and you can just tell this comes to him second nature. This is one of THE BEST channels on this entire platform. Has long has your into substance, and not people jumping into jello. Mark your awesome.

How could the history Channel not realize that people love this.... I don't understand how they have fallen so far. Really all of tv has. Thank you Mark Felton I can't get enough of your channel. Both of them are amazing

Only Dr. Felton can provide this level of detail in a 22 min. episode.

My dad was born during WW2. He loves history and when I turned him on to your channel he would get so excited about your latest episode. He would always comment saying "This guy is the real deal" He would go on saying how important it is to learn from this time in history to not repeat it. RIP Dad.

Are we going to Argentina in the next video to investigate Hitler escape?

Thank you, Mark. This particular part of history has fascinated me since I was a boy doing Sixth Year history, my history master introduced me to Trevor-Roper's Last Days of Hitler account. As you commented, so many facts are still unknown or disputed around the demise of the top Nazis, which is no doubt why so many of us are still fascinated by it today

Mark learning how to leave us on cliffhangers is great! Your presentation skills are reaching new levels of awesome.

Another treat from the historical master that is Dr. Mark Felton. Thank you for your continuing dedication and hard work in bringing history to life and preserving facts over fiction.

I’ve just graduated from high school, my favourite subject used to be/is history and these videos give me the same feelings as those lessons with my favourite teacher. Thank you sooo much, Mark Felton!

Waited until all the videos of the Investigation were posted before starting. Watching them all back to back! Mr. Felton never disappoints with his level of dedication to portraying the past as it happened and not what we are all taught by those with an agenda.

Mark Felton would be such a badass presenter at something like tank fest or anywhere he could narrate/present. Your content is so crisp man, love the presentation and how you ignore all the fluff a lot of historians must have.

I imagine the conversation about the socks went like this: Klemenko: 'Would Hitler have worn darned socks?' Voss: 'Darned if I know.' I'll see myself out...

Episode 1 was fantastic, can't wait for #2. I had known of CMEPW, but had no idea they were that feared and so powerful that even Marshal Zhukov was denied access by them.

Great episode! Looking forward to the next installment! I read Lev Bezymensky's "The Death Of Adolf Hitler" over 50 years ago when I was a senior in high school, a well-written and engrossing read. It was dismissed by most American WW2 historians at the time but in my then 17 year old opinion everything Bezymensky said in the book made perfect sense. I remember his into to the book very well, he said he had to get permission from the Soviet archives to view the pertinent SMERSH documents, no surprise, but didn't meet any resistance. It just took time for the request to work its way through the bureaucracy. And I've always remembered what he said: "Working with the Soviet bureaucracy is like turning millstones, but let's turn those millstones together and see what we find!"

One of Mark Felton's most long and detailed 2 part post. Kudos. The Royal History Society should equally be honored.

The quality, the presentation, the content… always amazing. Big fan of your work… thank you.
