Actually only 15 of the 16 people were followers of Hitler. One of them, Karl Kuhn worked at a Coffeehouse close to the Feldherrenhalle. (It still exists to this day, cslled TAMBOSI) He only wanted to see what was going on and got hit by a stray bullet. But since the Nazis were obsessed with symmetry 16 was a much better number of deceased to honour than 15. Great video thank you so much.
Several rubble piles existed in Munich into the late 1970s. As a kid visiting relates, we would ask permission after dinner to go over to the fields until about 9PM. I remember going out walking around the desolate masonry strewn land. It was sort of a semi used industrial park of several work companies. Several tons of masonry concrete chunks were pushed into ravine areas but it was too dangerous to go down as it was very loose and it could landslide over the top of you. The most significant moment for me was peering down into the ravine and I noticed a very large round metal disk sticking out halfway of the overburden . It was either a teller mine or top of an old lamp post shade. Never went down to get a closer look.
Relating to the Feldherrnhalle Memorial and the requirement to give the Hitler Salute every time anyone passed it, many citizens of Munich resented this and used a short cut through an alleyway behind the monument which became known as "Shirker's Alley". If you visit Munich today the alleyway is still there and is marked along its length by a commemorative brass strip in recognition of this act of passive resistance.

We went to Berlin in 2006. It was mind boggling on so many levels. Just the staggering amount of history and what took place there was very, very hard to grasp at times. One part was of the left with all the bullet holes and burnt out buildings. Other parts with new ultra modern buildings. Check Point Charlie Was there. Parts of the wall. We drove past where Hitlers Bunker was. At the time, a chain link was all that separated us from it. Everyone who can needs to see it. Then go stand on the beaches of Normandy. Then go up to the cemetery that's above it. It's not a fun filled vacation... Thank you as always Professor for keeping all this in perspective and alive in the minds of people who still care.

I enjoy all of it...but I have seen and heard of so many battles, land, sea, and air and the lives lost, equipment developed and used by all the nations involved.

Ehrr... Adolf had never read Machiavello... Nor Napoleon's campaigns. He was totally convinced of the power he had taking Central Europe and Frankreicht. He lost the center when he had to help (rescue) his "allies" in the south, Greece and Africa. And then, what was worst, trying to take over Rusia. Obviusly not an politician nor a general... I can recall to this day the words of Minister Chamberlain in his arrival back from Germany in early 1939... "Hitler promised he was not going to invade Poland..."
This left me wondering what kind of monument Hitler intended for himself and where it was to be located. Was it to resemble Napoleon’s tomb at Les Invalides? Was it to be located in Berlin or Munich or Nuremberg or perhaps his birthplace? Was his monument already designed? By Speer or someone else perhaps? If Dr Felton doesn’t already know, I’m sure he will share that information before too long.
Hitler didn't boast like that. When he died, all of his belongings would go to the state. He had no interest in having children of his own, but did love children (not in a creepy way). We do not know what was planned for Hitler's death if he were to win the war. I'd assume a statue like every other German historic figure.
To avoid having to give the Nazi salute when walking past the SS S.D at the FeldherrnHalle , the locals used to cut through the path way that was behind the building .
Imagine what hitler wanted germany to be and be remembered as. Classical temples with tombs of "holy" soldiers, showing to the travelers and visitors the "might" of the ss. Tombs befitted only to heroes of the fatherland. Also, by the point of view of men and women centuries after the 2nd world war, would see those temples and create stories around those mythological men, who fought like lions against the odds. Of course, this never happened, for the better.

Just when I thought I knew enough of Nazi history, I watch a new episode of Mark Felton Productions. Joseph P. Farrell, author and often seen on RUclips, also digs into Nazi history and mysticisms. And yet, more and more is revealed. One day we will have absolute proof the Nazis dragged Hitler to Argentina.

You definetly should visit. It's really good an conpletly free of charge. There actually is a very small sign in front of the building of the musical school that reveals that it's where the "Munich Agreement" was singed. But it's pretty hard to spot and read.
As I watch more & more of this work, I find that I enjoy Mr. Felton's cadence, tone, & pronunciation more than the most renown BBC presenters. He strikes an incredible balance between interest & relaxation.
Having visited these sites I know that even though they are gone they still have a slightly intimidating atmosphere, even on a hot July day when I last visited. Beautiful city though and lovely to visit. So today I learnt what happened to those sarcophagi after the war and how the temples were destroyed. Never knew this but always wondered. Thanks Mark Felton, another great and highly educational video!
I was stationed in Bad Kreuznach West Germany in the 1980's, went to an Oktoberfest in Munchen and got so drunk I sat down on a cactus and passed out. A cactus, in Munich....how many can there be? Some long odds got beat that night. You're right though, it's a beautiful city.
I find the destruction of gravesites distasteful regardless of whom does it. Can people imagine if an occupation force in america were to desecrate and destroy the tomb to the unknown soldier and than replace the nearby building with a showroom about american torture in Guantanamo? Because that is really low.
@@chinamed1 the military monuments in the US are shrines to martyrs for the "cause" of racism, slavery, torture , imperialism and to the military industrial complex.
Those dead didn't belong there anyway. They had been exhumed from their original resting places just to be used as showpieces for the Nazis. And the Americans treated them with respect, returning the remains to their families if possible, as was mentioned in the video. The Russians probably would have blown the place up remains included.
Fascinating and I had no idea that even existed! Once again Mark you have not only entertained me with your amazing videos but also educated me even more on a topic I find very interesting as my Grandmother was in the resistance in France and helped allied airmen get back to England.
Having visited Munich for a few weeks with work fifteen years or so ago, there is the very strange feeling when you walk around that you are as close as it's possible to get to the centre of the Nazi world. The Feldherrnhalle still stands and the surrounding Odeonsplatz remains fairly unchanged, and the Königsplatz, if squinted at, remains virtually the same canvas that the massed ranks of Nazis stood to attention, or burned book, ons. During one pleasant morning stroll one weekend, I happened upon the Ehrentempel site, which as the documentary states, is a nature reserve and doesn't call attention to itself. In it's way and with the passage of time, the ruins are a metaphor for the stain of Nazism on Munich and the wider Germany. Expunged, but not eradicated. Extant but not acknowledged. Unloved, unhonoured, and almost, almost, unseen.
I was born in Munich and grew up there. Königsplatz and Odeonsplatz and Feldherrnhalle were built by the Bavarian kings. The Nazi buildings were only "additions". I stumbled across the "Ehrenhalle" as a teenager and wanted to know what was there. In general, some buildings were still destroyed at that time, such as the Army Museum, which now houses the Bavarian State Chancellery. I asked a lot, but the others didn't want to know anything. Many have no idea that, for example, the Haus der Kunst was also a Nazi building and housed an important part in the propaganda exhibition "Degenerate Art". You can stumble upon a great many places if you know where they are and understand history. But this is obviously not wanted ...
Thank you Dr. Felton. As an expat Canadian living in Munich, I found this fascinating. I will endeavor to visit all these sites. Really excellent research and narration!
On my visit to Munich I saw the bases of the temples and had no idea what they were, I did not think I would get an answer today! This was an unexpected and educational surprise.
It's so weird to hear someone talk about your home city as if it was some mysterious place from a Indiana Jones Movies. It's also quite wierd to think that I have been compleatly wasted on yearly Student parties on the Königsplatz, whereas other people (from other countries) think of it as the birthplace and the center of the Nazi Regime. The Munich inner city around the Universities is incredibly rich in history and I can only reccoment a visit
It is not, "either, or". It most definitely was a birthplace of NSDP. It most definitely is a good place to party and puke. Don't worry, educated people know Munich had a long, glorious history before Adolf.... and can now have a wonderful and bright future, after Adolf. Nobody thinks it is Munchen's fault.(oooof. just remembered the PLO killing the Jews. my point still stands.)
Don't forget, the architectural ensemble was completed by the "Drückebergergasse", the path for everyone who wasn't too keen on saluting a Nazi sarcophagus.
At Feldherrenhalle there where no Nazi sarcophagus, but you had to lift your right arm to the Deutsche Gruss, greeting the 2 SS guards.Those who forgot doing this got into serious trouble..
What sites. Beautiful city and expensive. I’ve been there in the last couple summers and the beautiful Feldherrnhalle and Königsplatz still stands. Somewhat of a haunting and intimidating little square, but all still beautiful, and as the banana-cream colored Mercedes taxis and many Porsches go about their day. Had a beer in the beer hall as well.
I'll bet some locals had removed those lids to see if valuables they could use were inside. Possibly gold. There probably were a lot of old rumors about it. That said I must say I never heard of this Nazi Shrine before. Very good job on this one.
One of the highlights of my week is receiving a message announcing the arrival of a new Mark Felton video, a treat I look forward to enjoying at the end of the day, when my work is done. It's the same feeling I got as a kid growing up in Iceland - when Santa would leave us a treat in our shoes we left on bedrown window sill (you rarely see these large window sills (on which Europeans place potted plants, knickknacks - and shoes) in the US) during the month of December. But first you had to sleep through the night. And Dr. Felton never delivers a raw potato (or a piece of coal)!
Who else thought like I did when 'Temple of Doom' and 'Nazi sarcophagi' came up and went 'YESSS! Finally - Nazi zombies!!' - only to realise that this isn't the 'History' channel??? xD Another excellent piece, Dr. Felton - always well-researched and well-presented on history's little gems. Thank you!
Wow what an incredible video thank you for all your research and very interesting facts bringing up the questions that nobody covers on any other history channel new standalone Mark Felton thank you for your dedication! cheers
I mean, if after the war that left the bavarians impovrished and homeless, they would not loot the abandoned facilities of the government they became disillusioned with, just so they can live another day?
"... and disappeared into history." So what did happen to the memorial mentioned at the very end? This may be for an archeologist to discover, rather than an historian.
Anything metal would be scrapped. Stone from the ruins of the cites were piled in giant hills on the edge of town. These hills are there still and are called Trümmerberg or rubble mountains. The temples likely are in These piles.
I can't be the only one who wishes the Americans (Allies) hadn't destroyed so many infamous buildings. Decades later, they would be so interesting to see. I can sort of understand the destruction of certain military buildings - even then I wish they hadn't demolished them (eg the Wolf's Lair in Poland) but non-military buildings?
I'm glad these temples were destroyed, there's really no place for them in post war Germany. If you want to see an example of Paul Troost's architecture then visit the Haus De Kunst, also in Munich.
@@kutter_ttl6786 I'm assuming you like to erase parts of history that are controversial for such talks, an example the up bringing of the U.S. and it's part with the slave trade.
@@kutter_ttl6786 don't get me wrong stuff like that shouldn't happen, but a piece of material from that era should at least be kept, because through time things will be forgotten. Especially structures like the Greeks and Roman's, it's fascinating to look at and to know.

Thank you and kudos to you Mr Felton. You have finally shown me something in terms of the sarcophagi that I have never seen before and that is saying a lot so I do thank you for this posting because education, no matter your age, is always important.
Awesome video. I live near Munich, and it's definitely worth a visit. First off all, the food is phenomenal, the people are generally nice and the alps are quite close. The best reason however are the museums this city offers. I've been to many places, but never found an equal amount of quality and density of museums. Munich is more than beer halls and the Oktoberfest ;)

Fully agree. I don't see how just smashing graves proves anything.
@@chinamed1 the military monuments in the US are shrines to martyrs for the "cause" of racism, slavery, torture , imperialism and to the military industrial complex.
Those dead didn't belong there anyway. They had been exhumed from their original resting places just to be used as showpieces for the Nazis. And the Americans treated them with respect, returning the remains to their families if possible, as was mentioned in the video. The Russians probably would have blown the place up remains included.
Who cares, they were nazis in nazi graves.
Another well researched and informative film many thanks Mark Felton
Dr. Felton always has something new to present. Thank u sir!
Generic comment about this channel being better than History Channel
Generic agreement comment.
Fascinating and I had no idea that even existed! Once again Mark you have not only entertained me with your amazing videos but also educated me even more on a topic I find very interesting as my Grandmother was in the resistance in France and helped allied airmen get back to England.
Excellent and informative presentation, Mark. I can't understand why anyone would give such objective analysis a thumbs down.
The fine details revealed can never be found in any history book. Excellent work.
Another excellent video , thank you mr Felton
When visiting Munich, be sure to bring along Maik Koplecks essential Past Finder guide.
I was in Munich and could not find much
Impressive docu...as always
Having visited Munich for a few weeks with work fifteen years or so ago, there is the very strange feeling when you walk around that you are as close as it's possible to get to the centre of the Nazi world. The Feldherrnhalle still stands and the surrounding Odeonsplatz remains fairly unchanged, and the Königsplatz, if squinted at, remains virtually the same canvas that the massed ranks of Nazis stood to attention, or burned book, ons. During one pleasant morning stroll one weekend, I happened upon the Ehrentempel site, which as the documentary states, is a nature reserve and doesn't call attention to itself. In it's way and with the passage of time, the ruins are a metaphor for the stain of Nazism on Munich and the wider Germany. Expunged, but not eradicated. Extant but not acknowledged. Unloved, unhonoured, and almost, almost, unseen.
I was born in Munich and grew up there. Königsplatz and Odeonsplatz and Feldherrnhalle were built by the Bavarian kings. The Nazi buildings were only "additions". I stumbled across the "Ehrenhalle" as a teenager and wanted to know what was there. In general, some buildings were still destroyed at that time, such as the Army Museum, which now houses the Bavarian State Chancellery. I asked a lot, but the others didn't want to know anything. Many have no idea that, for example, the Haus der Kunst was also a Nazi building and housed an important part in the propaganda exhibition "Degenerate Art". You can stumble upon a great many places if you know where they are and understand history. But this is obviously not wanted ...
Thank you Dr. Felton. As an expat Canadian living in Munich, I found this fascinating. I will endeavor to visit all these sites. Really excellent research and narration!
On my visit to Munich I saw the bases of the temples and had no idea what they were, I did not think I would get an answer today! This was an unexpected and educational surprise.
As always Mark a voice in the sea of insanity. Thanks for the real history once more! Hope you had a great July 1st sir! Cheers from a Canadian.
History time again, thanks Dr. Felton! 👍
Nice album
Perfect timing for my birthday, a new video.
Happy birthday!
Is 15 centimeters ok?
@@MarkFeltonProductions Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
I was 1 month ago in Munich for a short trip, this video gives me more feeling of how things where back then. Great video Mark!
Another superb video from Dr. Felton! Thank you!
It's so weird to hear someone talk about your home city as if it was some mysterious place from a Indiana Jones Movies.
It's also quite wierd to think that I have been compleatly wasted on yearly Student parties on the Königsplatz, whereas other people (from other countries) think of it as the birthplace and the center of the Nazi Regime.
The Munich inner city around the Universities is incredibly rich in history and I can only reccoment a visit
It is not, "either, or". It most definitely was a birthplace of NSDP. It most definitely is a good place to party and puke. Don't worry, educated people know Munich had a long, glorious history before Adolf.... and can now have a wonderful and bright future, after Adolf. Nobody thinks it is Munchen's fault.(oooof. just remembered the PLO killing the Jews. my point still stands.)
Don't forget, the architectural ensemble was completed by the "Drückebergergasse", the path for everyone who wasn't too keen on saluting a Nazi sarcophagus.
At Feldherrenhalle there where no Nazi sarcophagus, but you had to lift your right arm to the Deutsche Gruss, greeting the 2 SS guards.Those who forgot doing this got into serious trouble..
Mankind’s fascination with this historical period is somehow primal. Great content. Thanks for posting.
Felton is awesome at what he does. I really respect the factual unbiased information he tells
What sites. Beautiful city and expensive. I’ve been there in the last couple summers and the beautiful Feldherrnhalle and Königsplatz still stands. Somewhat of a haunting and intimidating little square, but all still beautiful, and as the banana-cream colored Mercedes taxis and many Porsches go about their day. Had a beer in the beer hall as well.
I'll bet some locals had removed those lids to see if valuables they could use were inside. Possibly gold. There probably were a lot of old rumors about it.
That said I must say I never heard of this Nazi Shrine before. Very good job on this one.
Good Job Dr Felton 👍
Unbelievable that WWII happened in the modern civilized world. The footage of these buildings is to be treasured as history, never to be forgotten.
You have the most informational comment stream I've encountered lately.
One of the highlights of my week is receiving a message announcing the arrival of a new Mark Felton video, a treat I look forward to enjoying at the end of the day, when my work is done. It's the same feeling I got as a kid growing up in Iceland - when Santa would leave us a treat in our shoes we left on bedrown window sill (you rarely see these large window sills (on which Europeans place potted plants, knickknacks - and shoes) in the US) during the month of December. But first you had to sleep through the night. And Dr. Felton never delivers a raw potato (or a piece of coal)!
Hi Iris
@@christianjones7401 hi!
@@irisElee where are you from
@@irisElee you are very familiar
Familiar? Huh?
Most likely cast iron, not wrought iron.
You are really brilliant Mr. Felton, in revealing ill known but important facts like these . Thank you. 👍👍
Who else thought like I did when 'Temple of Doom' and 'Nazi sarcophagi' came up and went 'YESSS! Finally - Nazi zombies!!' - only to realise that this isn't the 'History' channel??? xD
Another excellent piece, Dr. Felton - always well-researched and well-presented on history's little gems. Thank you!
Wow what an incredible video thank you for all your research and very interesting facts bringing up the questions that nobody covers on any other history channel new standalone Mark Felton thank you for your dedication! cheers
"looted by local before the Americans arrive" honestly Judge ...
I mean, if after the war that left the bavarians impovrished and homeless, they would not loot the abandoned facilities of the government they became disillusioned with, just so they can live another day?

"... and disappeared into history." So what did happen to the memorial mentioned at the very end? This may be for an archeologist to discover, rather than an historian.
Anything metal would be scrapped. Stone from the ruins of the cites were piled in giant hills on the edge of town. These hills are there still and are called Trümmerberg or rubble mountains. The temples likely are in These piles.
ty this is so informative! i didn't know about these at all
The best German WW2 information service on RUclips.
At the original site, there was, oddly, a plaque honoring the 4 policeman killed in the coup attempt of 1923.
Theres so much I dont know about ww2. I really appreciate you telling us this
Fascinating, you are paramount in the field of WWII military history. Thank you.
I have been quite ill , and thus missed many of your vids. Hope to catch up asap and watch as you post at early AM on this side of pond.
An even number of martyrs sure does make for a convenient temple layout!
Even more so when it's a multiple of four.
11 would be indeed inconvenient....
50/50....not impossible odds
I find the idea of martyrs and ideologies that use them extremely distasteful.
I can't be the only one who wishes the Americans (Allies) hadn't destroyed so many infamous buildings. Decades later, they would be so interesting to see. I can sort of understand the destruction of certain military buildings - even then I wish they hadn't demolished them (eg the Wolf's Lair in Poland) but non-military buildings?
I'm glad these temples were destroyed, there's really no place for them in post war Germany. If you want to see an example of Paul Troost's architecture then visit the Haus De Kunst, also in Munich.
No, it is a despicable habit of victors. The Nazis did it, the Soviets did it, I'm sure the Japanese did it in China.
@@kutter_ttl6786 I'm assuming you like to erase parts of history that are controversial for such talks, an example the up bringing of the U.S. and it's part with the slave trade.
@@kutter_ttl6786 don't get me wrong stuff like that shouldn't happen, but a piece of material from that era should at least be kept, because through time things will be forgotten. Especially structures like the Greeks and Roman's, it's fascinating to look at and to know.
@@onogrirwin "No, it is a despicable habit of victors. The Nazis did it, the Soviets did it, I'm sure the Japanese did it in China." And the democrats are doing it in 2021.
This was a good one. I especially like the videos that explore the behind-the-scenes stuff
Thank you and kudos to you Mr Felton. You have finally shown me something in terms of the sarcophagi that I have never seen before and that is saying a lot so I do thank you for this posting because education, no matter your age, is always important.
Awesome video. I live near Munich, and it's definitely worth a visit. First off all, the food is phenomenal, the people are generally nice and the alps are quite close. The best reason however are the museums this city offers. I've been to many places, but never found an equal amount of quality and density of museums. Munich is more than beer halls and the Oktoberfest ;)
Another awesome least known facts from this video. Kudos Dr. Felton. Anticipating watching ur next video. Peace
Gutenmorten!Mr Felton!Keep up the informative WW2 docomentaries.
One totalitarian tyranny has fallen, decades ago.
Ceases to be memories and becomes history.
While another, global and techno-totalitarian tyranny arises, taken truth as it first victim...
Well I know which "tyranny" I'd rather have had!

What an amazing "new to me" piece of history. What a very odd place.
Nothing odd about it really, places like this exist all over the world honoring people of note
Dr Felton appears to be able to produce an inexhaustible amount of absolutely riveting material. I dare say he’ll keep the whole thing up for a virtual eternity !
Excellent, this is the kind of footage that makes RUclips valuable. Thanks Mark.
I can't imagine walking around here in '45, the pressure you'd feel knowing Hitler walked and paraded himself and brothers, all for it to crumble
I like how this channel cover obscure stuff and a lot on the axis side unlike other history channel that are crazy patriotic and only talks about how great are the western allies
Ironic. It's the only Indiana Jones movie without Nazis. (The 4th doesn't count)
It counts
What movie? I don't recall a 4th Indiana Jones movie, I only ever heard of the third movie. /s
Thank You for your upload
Well done, very through and a completely fascinating bit of history. Thanks for the knowledge. 🙂👍🏻
I like how nature always seems to have the last say in all things.
LIKE Chernobyl, a monument or relic of the Soviet era.
Mark. You've outdone yourself again! Thank you for providing my entertainment for Friday Night
As always, an outstanding video by Dr Felton. Untouched, unfiltered and unstained by conventional politics. Great job!
Dr Felton ! I was so chuffed with your little heart logo ! After I edited my botched grammar, your approval vanished. I’d be SO delighted to see you realign your approval to my comment. I’m aware that this reads as a stellar exercise in juvenilia, but I adore your channels SO much that an approval from you means a great deal to me. I can assure you that I share almost every single one of your incomparable videos, and with the purest of certainties watch everything you produce.
Settle down there, Beavis
I think that Dr. Felton should start his own university.
Meh
Realisticly, he would join as a teacher in one.
Temples of beauty. There architecture was ahead of its time Albert Speer was an amazingly master architect and also there uniforms were so stylish.
Crazy how many nazis you find in the comment sections of these videos
@@goldenshoes3 right? Absolute scum, they never die
@@goldenshoes3 Just because you like something nazi related like architecture doesn't actually make you a nazi my guy. Get your head outta your colon.
