I went there in 2007. Amazing site, I felt like those nineteenth century European explorers who 'discovered' pyramids in Yucatan after walking through the forest. At that time the only sign was one off the side of the road but we managed to work it out through old maps and talking to locals. Congratulations for getting as many views in a few hours as my video has got in 13 years!
I got rid of my TV and now use the net to see stuff. Your show while short is still far better then any TV I have seen in the last 30 years. The number of ads on TV make it not worth watching. This show if under a TV directors command would have had so many silly things in it. You put on a very good show
@@MrDaiseymay it wasn't unreasonable. Such bunkers protected from British Air Raids and kept them from bombing city infrastructure. Not evacuating your highest eschelons of military command when it's HQ turns into a frontline is close to lunacy.
I live in Germany, in Bayern region, yesterday i was hitchiking with couple of friends and we came to some thing that looks like a big wall with holes in it. When i say big it means a 200-300 meters long and 3 meter high. We ask locals and they told us it was a underground compleks, and there is a house in witch nazi generals were hiding at the end of the war. And few minute later we found this house, there is a big stone on witch is writen in german that in this house this generals were here when american soliders cought them. I did not have my phone with me to take a picture,i want to do it today, but it takes 4 hours walking up the mountain,so i did not go, he he, Sory for my english

I have only now discovered these documentaries and was immediately enthusiastic, which is very well done and so on. By the way, your German pronunciation is quite good!
I think you're one of the very few Brits I've ever known to actually pronounce foreign names properly and actually cares enough to try and do so! Excellent.
Ok Mark Felton u finally won me over. After watching dozens and dozens of ur videos and me being a US Veteran on Memorial Day weekend, I’ve finally subbed to ur channel. Thanks for all ur great videos and respect to u for all the research u put into them.
It never ceases to amaze me how much construction from both world wars is still to be seen throughout Europe. Sometimes I drive from Cambridge to Norwich via the scenic route through Watton, and go past no less than four pill boxes during the journey.
Great video , in 2010 took a trip to from Warsaw to Wolf's Lair, and Himmler's bunker. Spent at least 2 hours at his bunker complex. Even today you can still find stuff in the woods around that area. Really beautiful lake by the bunker too.
Lot of stuff in Poland and France from the war, Germany most everything "German" has been restored or destroyed. Many Russian statues are in Berlin, nothing German from the war not even a cemetery. Now over in the Hertgen forest that's another thing
Nobody else talks about these things that had obvious insight into major players minds and motivations. The film footage and photos are just awesome. I also highly value the detailed explanations that are often part of the photographs. Thank you for providing access to all of this great history.
Marks Felton always uploads during my late nights on my time zone, but I still find the time to watch and listen to end off my night with some knowwwwwledge
Mark, your tireless, amazing, unbiased documenting of these historical sites is just tremendous. I want to thank you so much for all of your work. It has truly been a pleasure perusing your RUclips channel, and your website. Keep up the great work.
Hey man being a business major, I was never interested in history that much, but now I’m addicted to your videos, keep it up the content is solid! I might have to do a minor in history now lol
I always appreciate, how correct you pronounce German language. Even know the difficulty for non German Speakers!!! My favourite History Channel, taught me more as in my whole (German) School time. Thank you.
You are absolutely brilliant! If I were a history teacher, your curriculum would be mandatory in the classroom. Love your work and dedication to these videos, especially these rare gems! Thank you mr. Felton for your work!
Amazing!! I've never even heard of this bunker, everytime I think I have a good grasp of WW2 I watch another Mark Felton video and become humbled and enlighten, your knowledge is unsurpassed.
This was neat to wake up to. I didn't know this existed. I've heard of the Wolfs Lair before. I spent a good part of yesterday listening to Ratlines as well. The pictures and filming help to add light to this. Thanks again.
“The breeze less, fetid swamp of the Wolf’s Lair.” Fitting. Though I’m sure some of the inhabitants would have welcomed that stink after their first few days holed up in that tomb of a bunker in Berlin.
From all accounts, the Wolf's Lair was one of the most unpleasant places to live-freeing cold in Winter, hot and humid with mosquitoes in summer. Note that Hitler and his staff never dressed down-always in full uniform in that summer heat.
I get excited every time I hear the intro music for Dr Felton’s videos-even my wife knows what channel I’m watching when the music begins. Without doubt, this is becoming my favorite RUclips channel.
@@SpeccyMan: I actually used to be homeless so, in this context, I do believe "was" is correct. I debated on using "were", but that can be seen as wishful thinking and I do not want to be homeless again...
Ha, in late 80s I was staying at the Steinort Manor (in Sztynort) during sailing camp. Back then the complex was fully restored and operational, there were also a couple of WW2 vehicle wrecks there. Now, the manor is in very poor shape and disrepair. I have also visited OKH command in Mamerki (Mauerwald) during many sailing trips on the Masurian Lakes District - there is a small marina at lake Mamry located few minutes walk from the bunkers. Thank you for yet another amazing production Mark!
I don't know where you stayed, it was certainly not Steinort manor. I was there in '87, it was not "operational" and not "fully restored" it was an impressive manor slowly turning into a ruin.
@@thomaswolf2896 It was either 85 or 86 - the building was restored or at least working (I was about 12 or 13 back then) - my parents sent me to a sailing school/camp. I was supposed to go back there the following year, but apparently during the winter the heating failed, water froze in the pipes and burst causing flooding and damage. The building was falling into disrepair since then. It is very unfortunate, that in spite of many years, no organisation was able to restore it. It would be now a wonderful hotel with a huge natural park behind the building.
Thank you Mr. Felton. Last year, during my yachting trip, I've visited Hitler's mammoth bunkers. Now I have a proper excuse to explore the area some more. Also, some cheap and good beer near the bunkers... and good food in port towns like Sztynort, Okartowo and Mikołajki. A lot of history and a lot of fun during summer time.
0:10 I go past that place every day on my way to work, it's the intersection of Fredry Street and Independence Alley in Poznań, Poland (occupied by Prussia in 1794-1918 and by Nazi Germany in 1939-1945 as Posen). Other shots, where soldiers are seen marching, include Adam Mickiewicz Square between the Collegium Maius and the Imperial Castle.
Another genuinely interesting video - don’t know how Mark comes up with research ideas and the facts to back them up. This stuff should be on main stream TV
My nightly routine is hoping there is a new film from Mark Felton, and if not, I listen to the war stories and do the same thing night and night again.
Geez Mark how did you suddenly add another 400,000 subscribers in the past few months??? I just noticed it. That must be attracting a lot of good work opportunities... Exciting times ahead?
Colin a lot of people are off of work, with the covid -19 shut downs etc. And they are seeking quality programming to kill time. Thankfully, they’ve found it here. Mr. (or is it Dr..?) Felton is amazing!
Himmler betrayed Der Fuhrer and the German people " by trying to negotiate a separate peace agreement without Der Fuhrer approval. He was stripped of all his powers and was sought out to be arrested for treason . Eventually he avoided frontline duty by hiding in disguise and committed suicide. 💊⚰
@@John-wf2dp Himmler: “Oh Hans I have a surprise for you. You look so bored walking around these woods, in the hot weather, with just female cooks and waitresses for company. I know you really want to do your duty instead” Guards “No no. It’s ok we don’t mind” Himmler “So I got you a posting to Stalingrad where all the action is. I hope you enjoy” Guard 😭
Sometimes it turns out interesting places are closer to home then you might think! A few years ago I found out the Wolf's Lair was within acceptable driving distance from home, thanks to this video I also learned about Hochwald so when I finally go to visiting the Wolf's Lair last summer Hochwald was the first stop on the way there. Even though not much is left of the complex a visit to the Himmler bunker is worth a visit for sure.
Can you do a video about Himmler’s and Chandra Bose’s meeting at the mini wolf’s liar? What was it all about and other details, how he travelled from India to Poland to meet Himmler? Would really appreciate it.
get your history right.. these areas became Polish after September, 1945 , effective date, after the Potsdam Treaty. At the time frame Himmler was there they had been German for over 800 years. At the time frame you refer to there was nothing Polish about them. The meeting took place in GERMAN East Prussia. Poland was a occupied neighbouring country at that time. By the time these areas went to Poland in allied revenge all these participants were dead so therefore your mention of Poland is highly inaccurate. By the way I work in one of the preeminent history institutes worldwide. I ought to know. R.
Yes, it would be great if there was more research into the Charismatic Indian revolutionary leader Bose's escape & travel to Germany & then returning back via a German U-Boat to Singapore (then under Japanese control) & raising an Army of Indian POWs (in Japanese hands) to go fight the British Colonialists in Burma! Many may not know but Bose, not Nehru (India's first PM in 1947) was the more popular & elected leader of Indian National Congress but was done-in by internal machinations of Nehru & Gandhi's stup*d / dangerous non-violence philosophy. It was the final actions, trial of Bose's Army in Delhi that led to the revolt of the Indian sailors in Indian navy Bombay (1946) - that finally convinced the British to leave "honorably" before they got booted out anyhow by the Indians.
Very mesmerising! And your voice has that undertone of addictiveness. For someone who’s scored a distinction in history class in high school I love every bit of your uploads!
It is refreshing to find an historical channel about Germany where the narrator's pronunciation is spot on! Having been stationed in Germany for 12 years, it is painful to hear German mispronounced and misspelled. Thank you!
sry but the pronunciation of Hochwald is completely wrong. the ch should not sound like a 'k' like the Ch in character, it is pronounced the same way you would pronounce Loch Ness. With the 'k' the meaning is sitting woods (I was a bit confused after hearing it xD) but the correct meaning is high woods when it's pronounced correctly :D
I have never seen nor heard a documentary that puts you into history itself such as Mark Felton, it is such a personal presentation that it's as though one was there visiting these sites personally.
Been there 3 times. It almost looks like some natural landscaping in many areas, i.e. huge boulders cliffs, etc... but these are ruins of bunkers. Cool place. I highly recommend it. (edit: the main Wolf's Lair)
Dr. Felton’s videos on WWII are amazingly enjoyable to watch. I looked up information on Chandra Bose whom he noted in a still of Himmler in this video and I learned something new on the history of India and it’s part in the drama of WWII.
I imagine when Mark Felton enters a room, that intro music is playing.
Haha ha yeah. It’s not boss music it’s ‘mark Felton music plays’ 😳
Mark goes to bed:
" Time for a night of sleep... "
Music:
*DUM DUDUM DUM DUM DUDUDUM DUM DUM DUM*
Imagen If he was a pro wrestler this would be his enterance music
*Enters a Café*
Felton drives his benz, music plays.
When that intro plays you enter another world, the world of Mark Feltons brilliant documentaries.
Great work as always.

@@robertomanz6399 "allied revenge" LOL. To the victors go the spoils. Go and cry in your watery Bavarian beer...we won, you lost.
Yes, it would be great if there was more research into the Charismatic Indian revolutionary leader Bose's escape & travel to Germany & then returning back via a German U-Boat to Singapore (then under Japanese control) & raising an Army of Indian POWs (in Japanese hands) to go fight the British Colonialists in Burma! Many may not know but Bose, not Nehru (India's first PM in 1947) was the more popular & elected leader of Indian National Congress but was done-in by internal machinations of Nehru & Gandhi's stup*d / dangerous non-violence philosophy. It was the final actions, trial of Bose's Army in Delhi that led to the revolt of the Indian sailors in Indian navy Bombay (1946) - that finally convinced the British to leave "honorably" before they got booted out anyhow by the Indians.
Some sources to learn more would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Mark
Make a movie/documentary sometime? There is so much you have to teach, it’s fascinating!!
love mark felton!!! that music is strait sinister!!
Very mesmerising! And your voice has that undertone of addictiveness. For someone who’s scored a distinction in history class in high school I love every bit of your uploads!
Always a joy when the notification drops in :) As always an amazing job Mark Felton Productions.
I've been there, these buildings are really impressive !
I have only recently discovered your documentaries.
They are of excellent quality.
As usual, great episode. Managed to watch it just before my corporate job today...
As an Irish man i must say you have the perfect voice for documentries. Can listen all night.
"Blow it up!"
*explosion cracks it a bit*
"Yeah that will do."
It is refreshing to find an historical channel about Germany where the narrator's pronunciation is spot on! Having been stationed in Germany for 12 years, it is painful to hear German mispronounced and misspelled. Thank you!
Another great video from Dr. Felton himself.
Made my day tbh.
Oberleitenant Herr Felton
Your passion on the subject always comes through in your videos. I appreciate all your work and research to bring us these videos. Thanks you sir!
Your pronunciation of German names is excellent.
I'm born and raised German. I disagree. Many times I could only figure what he was trying to say after it was printed on screen.
sry but the pronunciation of Hochwald is completely wrong. the ch should not sound like a 'k' like the Ch in character, it is pronounced the same way you would pronounce Loch Ness.
With the 'k' the meaning is sitting woods (I was a bit confused after hearing it xD) but the correct meaning is high woods when it's pronounced correctly :D
Thank you Mark. I learn something new every time I watch. Much appreciated.
History channel ❌
Mark Felton productions ✅
I have never seen nor heard a documentary that puts you into history itself such as Mark Felton, it is such a personal presentation that it's as though one was there visiting these sites personally.
Ahhh yes my favorite educator on the internet.
Once again another fantastic documentary from Dr Felton, Thank you for the great work you produce time and time again. i look forward to more.
Been there 3 times. It almost looks like some natural landscaping in many areas, i.e. huge boulders cliffs, etc... but these are ruins of bunkers. Cool place. I highly recommend it. (edit: the main Wolf's Lair)
Dr. Felton’s videos on WWII are amazingly enjoyable to watch. I looked up information on Chandra Bose whom he noted in a still of Himmler in this video and I learned something new on the history of India and it’s part in the drama of WWII.
These videos take me back to being 15, when all I did was read this WW2 history series at the library lol.
