There's a book called Windswept Lies of War, and it talks from censored history and hidden secrets to lost files and classified documents about World War II, it's the real deal.
Regarding Hitler's military rank in the German (Bavarian) army: He never made it past the rank of "Gefreiter" which is (actually to this day) the second-lowest enlisted rank in the Germany military. A Gefreiter is not considered a non-commissioned officer. It is quite remarkable that during 4 years of war, Adolf Hitler was never deemed NCO material although the fact he didn't hold German citizenship could have been a factor. The transition from nondescript enlisted man to political leader during 1919 and 1920 is even more remarkable.
The whole "corporal rank" thing was something many from pop history misunderstood actually. Back then the German Imperial army was highly class-conscious and for most services, there was only two enlisted ranks: Soldat and Gefreiter, since the next rank is NCO class (usually given to career/volunteer soldiers), most conscripted soldiers could really only advance to Gefreiter in WW1. Not to mention his role as message runner would saw little need to command anyone - runners were typically acting alone to deliver message, so it wasn't a need to give or justify an NCO rank to him. In fact, if an offer for NCO rank actually came up, it would no doubt implied a transfer to more dangerous frontline trench duties, something not many German conscripts were too fond of.
His superiors recommended him for promotion, but the officers of his regiment saw that he had problems with his posture and military bearing, among other things.
I've heard two reasons why Hitler wasn't advanced past lance-corporal. One, as good a soldier as he was his superiors didn't believe he had any real leadership ability. Two, he WAS offered promotion but turned it down as he didn't want to be responsible for anyone's life other than his own. Which is correct? Who knows? Concerning military ranks it's erroneous to assume army ranks around the world match up pefectly. They've all got their own ways of doing things. For example the US Marine Corps uses the rank of lance corporal, it's a grade between private first class and corporal. And in the Marines corporal is the first of the NCO ranks. However the US Army doesn't use the rank, they've got their own system. And of course the British Army has theirs.
@@wayneantoniazzi2706 It seems odd that someone who would only a couple years later be revealed so magnetic a personality as to rise from nothing to the most infamous figure in world history would be not be deemed NCO material due to not having "leadership ability."
One of Hitler's duties in that role was to give political presentations in front of Reichswehr. One of the many reasons Hitler was so fond of Generaloberst Dietl (The Hero Of Narvik) was that Dietl was the first officer to (inofficially in this instance though) allow Hitler to hold a political speech in front of Dietl's men. In his last "thank you" adress to Dietl in July 1944, Hitler said: "As the first officer in the Reichswehr he readily offered me his unit, so I could influence them politically. An hour later, after I talked to what was then the third company, this man shook my hand and proclaimed that from now on he would be my supporter, follower and my comrade-in-arms" At Dietl's funeral, Hitler held a mourning speech that was publicly broadcast, in which he called Dietl "an eternal idol for the nation" and "one of my most valued and loyal friends."

The last one shown (cabin and mountains) is awful. The first one (building) has perspective errors and the madonna and child theme is a very common place.
I think the key in this story was the moment that Hitler realised he could outdo everyone around him at what they were doing. Once he realised he could take command, his secret desire for success had a path to be fulfilled, and from then on it was basically over. In many ways that's the natural course - Hitler had a natural gift that put him above his peers, and was able to put it to work and rise to power.
Quite an amazing story: from homeless, to trench soldier, to spy, to taking over a tiny party, to growing it into a national movement, and then becoming dictator and the man behind World War 2. All because he got rejected from art school.
Dietrich Eckart and The Thule Society is never mentioned enough when talking about the rise of Hitler. Eckart funded, molded, and taught proper social etiquette to him.

I've been fascinated by WWI and WWII literally all my life and can't count how many books and documentaries I've consumed on the topic ... but I've never before heard of a Communist State in Munich or a Revolution in Bavaria (I knew about the overthrow of Kaiser Wilhelm II, but not the other upheavals). Didn't know about Hitler's past in intelligence either. You Dr. Felton are a cutting-edge historian. You deserve a knighthood and as much recognition as the world can contain. Thank you!
In my opinion he deserves an OBE at least! But the late Queen and current King never did or do call me for recommendations! I guess one Yank's opinion doesn't count.
I've read about the Marxist Bavarian state in many different books, particularly histories of the early Soviet Union. This short-lived state was one that was viewed with great excitement by the Bolshevik leadership. They fervently believed that their seizure of power in Russia was just the first of many such uprisings in Europe that would topple the old order and establish communism in much of Europe. After the Bavarian revolution failed - and a few others that were similarly short-lived - Stalin came around to a different view: "socialism in one country". He believed that the Soviet Union would have to go it alone for a while until the revolutionary forces came together in the other countries - with his help - to overthrow the old order.
I see Mark Felton notification, I click! It's as simple as that! Glad for having you on RUclips, sharing such quality content, Mark! - Your subscriber from India 🇮🇳
I've seen art critics ripping apart his sense of perspective when depicting buildings (Hitler liked buildings and had flights of fancy as an architect). Doors that are fit for 4 metre high giants (these are side doors, not main front double doors from a portico), and other weird and fanciful applications to this kind of art that distorted it. Hitler was very much and idealist, not in any way a realist. No wonder he was rejected twice from the Viennese Academy of Fine Arts.
Mussolini was also an agent. An agent of the British run byLord Hore-Belisha who used Mussolini’s newspaper to advocate Italy staying in the Great War as an Allied participant. It was the British money that kept Mussolini solvent enough to start his political career.

The art school did not deny him any talent. The art school told him to go to architecture school. His paintings would be suitable for the architecture school. However, Hitler could not go to the architecture school because he lacked the appropriate school certificate.
actually, hitler got his conservative views not because of ww1. He had them already in his youth. He also was very political at that time and also a nationalist. When his friend August got to know him, hitler was interested in Art, Architecture & Politics. As more time flew away, the political part got a little stronger and the art less. He also complained and held speeches passionately to his friend about various political topics. One can listen to everything about that in the book of his best friend in his youth "August Kubizek". He also mapped out alot of the plans of the architecture for the buildings in Linz in that time. When he showed his friend his plans, he asked him. "And how do you want to pay for this gigantic buildings? We are both poor fiends.." - he answered, the reich will do it. Decades later he became the leader of Germany and made his plans for his city Linz reality. Up to this day you can see some of this buildings there. When I think about it that a minor has made the plans for a city which still has this beautiful and for that time innovative buildings, it´s mind blowing. The book is one of the most interesting I have ever read. In years I never have heard that historians ever mentioned it. highly recommended.
@matthewhammond859 It is! I have answered him already actually, but RUclips deleted the comment again. Weird platform sometimes. Greetings from Germany, Mr. Hammond.
Hitler painted traditional scenes he was not a mediocre artist ! He was rejected by the Vienna fine arts because they weren’t interested in or looking for traditional artists at that time, because the vogue for paintings had changed to modernism ! Feeling thwarted This rejection cut very deep with Hitler as a traditionalist artist ! Who’d pinned all his hopes at that time on being accepted as that accolade was very important in those days ! This is why in later years Hitler literally hated modernist painting of any kind ! sold a great many off to other non German galleries / collectors/countries etc ! And some were destroyed ! But to tout his art as mediocre is definitely not right ! I should imagine anyone with an original today would find it’s worth thousands.
Of course the price is high for anything painted by perhaps the most central figure of the 20th century. However, if those same paintings were by some unknown hand they would be sitting in a thrift shop somewhere costing next to nothing.
@@xcnderxOh but people invoke his name and his buried ideas to paint people or groups they don't like. Even though they haven't been a threat in almost a century. Shameful behavior really. Wish we'd stop that.
Interesting that Hitler only adopts the veterans’ toothbrush moustache after the war. It was supposed to allow a gas mask to fit cleanly. All the photos of him during the war show him either with a Kaiser Bill moustache (2:22) or a shortened version (3:45). One even seems to be an intermediate form (7:10). After that, the eventual toothbrush version could be larger (9:36) or smaller (9:49).

I asked Meta AI: Hitler and the Nazi Party opposed Freemasonry for several reasons: 1. Perceived Jewish connection: Nazis believed Freemasonry was connected to Judaism and saw it as part of a larger Jewish conspiracy. 2. Ideological differences: Freemasonry's emphasis on brotherhood, equality, and democracy clashed with Nazi ideology. 3. Fear of secret societies: Nazis viewed Freemasonry as a secret society that threatened their control. As a result, the Nazis banned Freemasonry, confiscated its properties, and persecuted its members.

Freemasons are a secret society with secret members who infiltrated or were in all forms of society. They have their own laws, rules and loyalty to each other. They also have political and social influence.
This is an awesome summary of this life. I couldn't get over how his mustache decreased in size as he gained more notoriety. The inverse correlation between mustache size and social status is quite hilarious to me.
Dr. Felton, you have made an oversight about Hitler's art that other biographers have too. Long ago as a boy, I read Consumer Reports from "the authoritative American Consumers Union". (That's a quote from Ian Fleming about a source that James Bond read.) On the back page it had a column entitled "Selling It" with cynical quotes from sources from trade publications such as Advertising Age. As boys my brother and I were reading Bartlett's Familiar Quotations one afternoon. So we looked for Hitler. It had quotes from Mein Kampf about how to create the perfect slogan and hammer it home by repetition. It sounded like the quotes from advertisers. I wondered into adulthood until I saw one of Hitler's paintings that explained it. It was a Bavarian castle on a cloud above the name of a brand of soap. He called himself a fine artist. He was covering up that he was a freelance artist at advertising agencies. He must have been invited to meetings at an agency who explained the cynicism behind advertising. Thus he had an apprenticeship in politics.
Hitler’s transition from an intelligence agent to a political leader is a stark example of how seemingly routine assignments can have profound historical consequences. His involvement with the DAP while on military duty marked the beginning of one of the most catastrophic periods in modern history.
Excellent information I never heard of before. It's amazing the layers of reality that exist in comparison to the over simplified narrative you are sold. Thank you.
Look again. I believe he was turned down for lack of artistic expression, even though the quality isn’t bad. His pieces resemble a contractors’ elevation more than a museum piece.
Geez! He's not a bad artist. Considering the worthless garbage in art museums today. Ten years ago some clown got $3m for a "white on white" (blank) canvas. I'd give him a B+. 😀
He wasn't rejected because he was untalented, he was rejected because he wasn't great at painting people. The Vienna school told him as much, and recommended that he shift his focus to becoming an architect.
That speech on September 12, 1919 was the turning point in his life, and a turning point for the world. He gained enough confidence and legitimacy to believe he could be something a thousand times more powerful. He was a decent artist, and had an appreciation for art/music/imagery. His public speaking ability was unmatched, because he spoke in a fearless way. The symbols, the torches, the music. ect... all played a part in the allure of him and the party. In the late 1920's the microphone boosted his voice, so he could be heard clearly by thousands for the first time. He had to shout for almost a decade to be heard by a few hundred people. Thank you Mark Felton for showing more fascinating, and little known facts from the WWII era. 🙂
As usual, an excellent, well researched presentation. However, the reason I visited Mark's library today was because RUclips recommended a 14 minute long excerpt from a BBC Newsnight broadcast. The episode was entitled "1987: CONTROVERSIAL Redevelopment of LONDON's DOCKLANDS | Newsnight | BBC Archive". The journalist presenting the programme was Martin Young. His voice is almost identical to that of Mark. So much so, that I paid Mark's channel a visit.
"Lance Corporal Hitler" is not really a good translation if one means to imply Hitler served as a junior NCO with any leadership responsibilities during and after WW1. His actual rank in the Bavarian Army was "Gefreiter" (lit. a 'freed' or 'relieved' man, originally referring to a senior enlisted soldier who was exempt from certain duties). While it is true that with greater emphasis on smaller unit tactics it later became common practice for experienced Gefreiter/Obergefeiter to serve as assistant squad leaders in the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht, it was nevertheless not (and still isn't) considered an "Unteroffizier" (non-commissioned officer) rank in the structure of German military ranks. In fact, it is probably worth mentioning that Hitler was never even formally considered for NCO training, in spite of him being a decorated trench veteran awarded the Iron Cross and the Verwundetenabzeichen (wound badge) and the severe shortage of NCOs in the later years of WW1. The misunderstanding of him being a (junior) NCO likely stems from the different ranks for military personnel in different countries and the lack of an equivalent rank to "Gefreiter" for enlisted men in militaries that use the British or US system for military ranks (and for that same reason tge NATO rank codes for "Gefreiter" in the modern Bundes is OR-2 and "Obergefreiter"/"Hauptgefreiter" are OR-3 - I myself have served as a "Hauptgefreiter" and I can assure you that I was not an NCO), and it likely started with some English newspaper translating Hindenburg's famous dismissal of Hitler being just a "Böhmischer Gefreiter" as "Bohemian Corporal" (Hitler also wasn't from Bohemia either).
As I understand it, the false rank of corporal was added later by nazi propagandists who felt that his actual rank of Gefreiter was too low of a rank for Der Führer.
Gefreiter is roughly equivalent to a Private Second Class in the US Army. It gets a little different with Obergefreiter and Hauptgefreiter. The closest would be Private First Class (or Lance Corporal in the USMC). The German Army has quite a few more ranks than the US does, so a crosswalk is a little hard. I had to learn the German ranks (and British) while assigned in Europe. It was pretty confusing for a while lol.
The NSDAP didn't call THEMSELVES "Nazi", this is completely wrong! This was a name given to them by their political adversaries and definitely NOT to give them a "broader appeal". In fact, since their main adversaries were socialists and Communists of varying degrees they simply wanted to try and downplay the fact that NSDAP were socialists, and it worked. People all around the world still know them as "the Nazis" and their ideology as "Nazism", when they don't even know what it actually means. "Nazi" is an abbreviated form of the German name Ignaz, which is the German version of the name Ignatius. The name/term "Nazi" basically means stupid, clumsy peasant. And since it kinda' sound like an abbreviations of "Nationalsozialistische" it was also a funny. Kinda' like a meme.

The GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD
I have never seen his paintings until now. They are actually good.
The narrative does not allow you to have that opinion.
However, yes, he had talent.
His politics and government policies are pretty all right too
I disagree. A trained eye can tell the paintings are actually quite mediocre. Perspective is off, they are flat. Nothing special.
"Not too bad" is a better assessment, I think.
@@ArkadiBolschek Yeah, ok, fair enough.
I think the key in this story was the moment that Hitler realised he could outdo everyone around him at what they were doing. Once he realised he could take command, his secret desire for success had a path to be fulfilled, and from then on it was basically over. In many ways that's the natural course - Hitler had a natural gift that put him above his peers, and was able to put it to work and rise to power.
Dr. Felton's research triumphs again. Great photos and narrative as usual.
Quite an amazing story: from homeless, to trench soldier, to spy, to taking over a tiny party, to growing it into a national movement, and then becoming dictator and the man behind World War 2. All because he got rejected from art school.
Not really.

Dietrich Eckart and The Thule Society is never mentioned enough when talking about the rise of Hitler. Eckart funded, molded, and taught proper social etiquette to him.
inner circle of the Thule Society - Luminous Lodge {based at Castle Werfenstein} .. they were in close contact with English - Golden Dawn...
but where came their money from?
hitler dismantled the thule society, the Nazi's had extreme dislike of secret societies (most of which was directed towards freemasons)

Another masterpiece from Professor Mark Felton.
Good one Mark
I've been fascinated by WWI and WWII literally all my life and can't count how many books and documentaries I've consumed on the topic ... but I've never before heard of a Communist State in Munich or a Revolution in Bavaria (I knew about the overthrow of Kaiser Wilhelm II, but not the other upheavals). Didn't know about Hitler's past in intelligence either. You Dr. Felton are a cutting-edge historian. You deserve a knighthood and as much recognition as the world can contain. Thank you!
In my opinion he deserves an OBE at least! But the late Queen and current King never did or do call me for recommendations! I guess one Yank's opinion doesn't count.
I've read about the Marxist Bavarian state in many different books, particularly histories of the early Soviet Union. This short-lived state was one that was viewed with great excitement by the Bolshevik leadership. They fervently believed that their seizure of power in Russia was just the first of many such uprisings in Europe that would topple the old order and establish communism in much of Europe. After the Bavarian revolution failed - and a few others that were similarly short-lived - Stalin came around to a different view: "socialism in one country". He believed that the Soviet Union would have to go it alone for a while until the revolutionary forces came together in the other countries - with his help - to overthrow the old order.
If you watched TIKHistory you’d have known all about it and in much much greater depth than is in Felton’s brief videos.
Not directly related to Bavaria but in the same timeframe, you should read the Outlaws by Ernst Von Solomon.
To understand Hitler you need to understand the Bolshevik threat which was very real and life in the Weimar era....

His boss said he "was like a tired stray dog looking for a master, ready to throw his lot in with anyone who would give him kindness" haunting.
Then Satan came along and gave him a bowl of Alpo.
That's probably due to his abusive father.
That's true insight.
Stray dogs have no home, you must be talking about jews.
More like he was describing himself that's typical of those people no different than your modern-day communist Democrat
I've seen far worse art than his.
It’s called Hunter Biden
Go to Portland Oregon, and look around at the garbage that is called "Art"....
Goes under the label of modern art. Most of which is pure crap.
Just look up Kandinsky and see what ridiculously innovative work was being done: we’re talking Picasso era
I've seen art critics ripping apart his sense of perspective when depicting buildings (Hitler liked buildings and had flights of fancy as an architect). Doors that are fit for 4 metre high giants (these are side doors, not main front double doors from a portico), and other weird and fanciful applications to this kind of art that distorted it. Hitler was very much and idealist, not in any way a realist. No wonder he was rejected twice from the Viennese Academy of
Fine Arts.
He loved his people truly... That was his weakness that was exploited by his enemies. Now hes gone but never forgotten always in the heart. 🦃
Thank you for this post.

Mussolini was also an agent. An agent of the British run byLord Hore-Belisha who used Mussolini’s newspaper to advocate Italy staying in the Great War as an Allied participant. It was the British money that kept Mussolini solvent enough to start his political career.

Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 Dr. Felton
The art school did not deny him any talent. The art school told him to go to architecture school. His paintings would be suitable for the architecture school. However, Hitler could not go to the architecture school because he lacked the appropriate school certificate.
The old school way of preserving the nepotistic tendencies of people. "You need certification from such and such places"
Yeah, requiring a high school diploma is nepotism right 🤦♀️
that makes more sense. his virgen de guadalupe painting was beautiful.🙏🏽.
AH would have excelled at architecture too. he had talent, see his plans with Speer to convert Berlin into a greater metro called "Germania"
As always.. Fabulous narration & content
I love the long pause after he calls Nazi Party co-founder Feder a "self-taught economist". I'm a self-taught neurosurgeon myself. 😆
Awesome video, as to be expected, Dr. Felton.
Thanks for another history lesson Dr. Felton!
actually, hitler got his conservative views not because of ww1. He had them already in his youth. He also was very political at that time and also a nationalist. When his friend August got to know him, hitler was interested in Art, Architecture & Politics. As more time flew away, the political part got a little stronger and the art less. He also complained and held speeches passionately to his friend about various political topics. One can listen to everything about that in the book of his best friend in his youth "August Kubizek". He also mapped out alot of the plans of the architecture for the buildings in Linz in that time. When he showed his friend his plans, he asked him. "And how do you want to pay for this gigantic buildings? We are both poor fiends.." - he answered, the reich will do it. Decades later he became the leader of Germany and made his plans for his city Linz reality. Up to this day you can see some of this buildings there. When I think about it that a minor has made the plans for a city which still has this beautiful and for that time innovative buildings, it´s mind blowing. The book is one of the most interesting I have ever read. In years I never have heard that historians ever mentioned it. highly recommended.

Your informative and insightful, intelligent documentaries are a gem Sir.
Hitler painted traditional scenes he was not a mediocre artist ! He was rejected by the Vienna fine arts because they weren’t interested in or looking for traditional artists at that time, because the vogue for paintings had changed to modernism ! Feeling thwarted This rejection cut very deep with Hitler as a traditionalist artist ! Who’d pinned all his hopes at that time on being accepted as that accolade was very important in those days !
This is why in later years Hitler literally hated modernist painting of any kind ! sold a great many off to other non German galleries / collectors/countries etc ! And some were destroyed ! But to tout his art as mediocre is definitely not right !
I should imagine anyone with an original today would find it’s worth thousands.
Of course the price is high for anything painted by perhaps the most central figure of the 20th century. However, if those same paintings were by some unknown hand they would be sitting in a thrift shop somewhere costing next to nothing.
He could've been accepted into another more traditional but equally prestigious art school. He just didn't want to get accepted.
This episode is being aired again, but I’m still watching after watching many times before.
I don’t understand how the last video was taken down and/or refused by RUclips…? Crazy.

Well im no art expert. But those pictures in this episode look very good and of good quality.
A new film feom Mark Felton! i dropped everything i was doing to watch it right away
Interesting that Hitler only adopts the veterans’ toothbrush moustache after the war. It was supposed to allow a gas mask to fit cleanly. All the photos of him during the war show him either with a Kaiser Bill moustache (2:22) or a shortened version (3:45). One even seems to be an intermediate form (7:10).
After that, the eventual toothbrush version could be larger (9:36) or smaller (9:49).
Charlie Chaplin stunt double
I also judge Hitler a lot less than I used to because I think there was a major genetic component to his behavior.
brilliant documentary short form history
Mark Felton is master of this form .. photos and commentary style blende to form an easy to follow and listen to .. narrative
“Stab in the back myth” lol
So, given that your views are quite clear, where does that leave you when it comes to Islam? On their side?
In regards to what? Nazism wouldn’t have taken hold if you interchanged the two. Weimar Germany was the most homosexual society for 80 years till Israel took that title. But no I wouldn’t say I’m on the side of Islam

Thankfully this channel actually knows what they are speaking on. Definitely a new subscriber!
why did hitler oppose freemasonry?
AH saw the connection to Judaism, interpreted as a threat to his totalitarianism regime
Probably because he wasn’t in the club.
I asked Meta AI:
Hitler and the Nazi Party opposed Freemasonry for several reasons:
1. Perceived Jewish connection: Nazis believed Freemasonry was connected to Judaism and saw it as part of a larger Jewish conspiracy.
2. Ideological differences: Freemasonry's emphasis on brotherhood, equality, and democracy clashed with Nazi ideology.
3. Fear of secret societies: Nazis viewed Freemasonry as a secret society that threatened their control.
As a result, the Nazis banned Freemasonry, confiscated its properties, and persecuted its members.
@@Dadshreds😂😂😂 you think ai will give you the truth 😂😂😂 do you even know ai has to be programmed to work ?? So if you program it with lies it will give and tell you lies ....... The same people who funded wo1 and wo2 are the same that creates Israël....and the same people that controls the world even Hitler was funded by them
Freemasons are a secret society with secret members who infiltrated or were in all forms of society. They have their own laws, rules and loyalty to each other. They also have political and social influence.
This is an awesome summary of this life. I couldn't get over how his mustache decreased in size as he gained more notoriety. The inverse correlation between mustache size and social status is quite hilarious to me.
Dr. Felton, you have made an oversight about Hitler's art that other biographers have too. Long ago as a boy, I read Consumer Reports from "the authoritative American Consumers Union". (That's a quote from Ian Fleming about a source that James Bond read.) On the back page it had a column entitled "Selling It" with cynical quotes from sources from trade publications such as Advertising Age. As boys my brother and I were reading Bartlett's Familiar Quotations one afternoon. So we looked for Hitler. It had quotes from Mein Kampf about how to create the perfect slogan and hammer it home by repetition. It sounded like the quotes from advertisers. I wondered into adulthood until I saw one of Hitler's paintings that explained it. It was a Bavarian castle on a cloud above the name of a brand of soap. He called himself a fine artist. He was covering up that he was a freelance artist at advertising agencies. He must have been invited to meetings at an agency who explained the cynicism behind advertising. Thus he had an apprenticeship in politics.
And some of those agencies would have been run by J .......... ?
The best and my favorite ww2 channel! You deserve so much more views thank you so much for this
"We fought the wrong enemy"
YES.
Another great one, Doctor. Danke schoen!
Hitler’s transition from an intelligence agent to a political leader is a stark example of how seemingly routine assignments can have profound historical consequences. His involvement with the DAP while on military duty marked the beginning of one of the most catastrophic periods in modern history.
Excellent information I never heard of before. It's amazing the layers of reality that exist in comparison to the over simplified narrative you are sold. Thank you.
I think his art was pretty good. I never understood why he wasn't allowed in the academy... Thanks to you Dr. Felton for another fine documentary.
Because when Jews take over your society they only promote their own, actually they denigrate art in general, look at modern “art”
Look again. I believe he was turned down for lack of artistic expression, even though the quality isn’t bad. His pieces resemble a contractors’ elevation more than a museum piece.
@ no he was turned down becuase Weimar Germany was culturally dominated by communist jews and they make and promote terrible art.
Great job Mr. Felton. Many thanks.
Geez! He's not a bad artist. Considering the worthless garbage in art museums today. Ten years ago some clown got $3m for a "white on white" (blank) canvas. I'd give him a B+. 😀
His artwork is surprisingly good. He's a degenerate as a human being but I must admit his art surpasses all modern art I've seen in the museums now
Yes. He was technically quite good. And getting into the academy was probably difficult. No need to belittle him in that department.
If someone didn’t know who painted the artwork they would grade it as fairly good.
He wasn't rejected because he was untalented, he was rejected because he wasn't great at painting people. The Vienna school told him as much, and recommended that he shift his focus to becoming an architect.
@@danielwest6095 ,... Guess they had a point. To paint people was the bread and butter of artists in those days, wasn't it.
Excellent video
That speech on September 12, 1919 was the turning point in his life, and a turning point for the world. He gained enough confidence and legitimacy to believe he could be something a thousand times more powerful. He was a decent artist, and had an appreciation for art/music/imagery.
His public speaking ability was unmatched, because he spoke in a fearless way. The symbols, the torches, the music. ect... all played a part in the allure of him and the party.
In the late 1920's the microphone boosted his voice, so he could be heard clearly by thousands for the first time. He had to shout for almost a decade to be heard by a few hundred people.
Thank you Mark Felton for showing more fascinating, and little known facts from the WWII era. 🙂
As usual, an excellent, well researched presentation. However, the reason I visited Mark's library today was because RUclips recommended a 14 minute long excerpt from a BBC Newsnight broadcast. The episode was entitled "1987: CONTROVERSIAL Redevelopment of LONDON's DOCKLANDS | Newsnight | BBC Archive". The journalist presenting the programme was Martin Young. His voice is almost identical to that of Mark. So much so, that I paid Mark's channel a visit.
"Lance Corporal Hitler" is not really a good translation if one means to imply Hitler served as a junior NCO with any leadership responsibilities during and after WW1. His actual rank in the Bavarian Army was "Gefreiter" (lit. a 'freed' or 'relieved' man, originally referring to a senior enlisted soldier who was exempt from certain duties). While it is true that with greater emphasis on smaller unit tactics it later became common practice for experienced Gefreiter/Obergefeiter to serve as assistant squad leaders in the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht, it was nevertheless not (and still isn't) considered an "Unteroffizier" (non-commissioned officer) rank in the structure of German military ranks. In fact, it is probably worth mentioning that Hitler was never even formally considered for NCO training, in spite of him being a decorated trench veteran awarded the Iron Cross and the Verwundetenabzeichen (wound badge) and the severe shortage of NCOs in the later years of WW1.
The misunderstanding of him being a (junior) NCO likely stems from the different ranks for military personnel in different countries and the lack of an equivalent rank to "Gefreiter" for enlisted men in militaries that use the British or US system for military ranks (and for that same reason tge NATO rank codes for "Gefreiter" in the modern Bundes is OR-2 and "Obergefreiter"/"Hauptgefreiter" are OR-3 - I myself have served as a "Hauptgefreiter" and I can assure you that I was not an NCO), and it likely started with some English newspaper translating Hindenburg's famous dismissal of Hitler being just a "Böhmischer Gefreiter" as "Bohemian Corporal" (Hitler also wasn't from Bohemia either).
As I understand it, the false rank of corporal was added later by nazi propagandists who felt that his actual rank of Gefreiter was too low of a rank for Der Führer.
Gefreiter is roughly equivalent to a Private Second Class in the US Army. It gets a little different with Obergefreiter and Hauptgefreiter. The closest would be Private First Class (or Lance Corporal in the USMC). The German Army has quite a few more ranks than the US does, so a crosswalk is a little hard. I had to learn the German ranks (and British) while assigned in Europe. It was pretty confusing for a while lol.
One of the most interesting and thought provoking videos of them all. I seem to remember a video by Prof Felton on the same topic some months ago.
"He's literally me"
A most excellent presentation and quite an eye opener. Thank you.
school photo at 0:32 is the famous photo where Hitler and Wittgenstein are in the same class
Always fascinating. You are the best on the Internet sir.
The NSDAP didn't call THEMSELVES "Nazi", this is completely wrong! This was a name given to them by their political adversaries and definitely NOT to give them a "broader appeal". In fact, since their main adversaries were socialists and Communists of varying degrees they simply wanted to try and downplay the fact that NSDAP were socialists, and it worked. People all around the world still know them as "the Nazis" and their ideology as "Nazism", when they don't even know what it actually means. "Nazi" is an abbreviated form of the German name Ignaz, which is the German version of the name Ignatius. The name/term "Nazi" basically means stupid, clumsy peasant. And since it kinda' sound like an abbreviations of "Nationalsozialistische" it was also a funny. Kinda' like a meme.
I think Ignaz is a baloney story made up in quite recent times. That's why nobody knows it.
Thanks for explanation. I have never heard this variant before.
I think that ignaz story is fake. Made up in recent times by jerks.

Pieces of history I'd not heard before. Thanks, Dr Felton.
