    I’ve probably been through the World at War series at least 6-8 times, Victory at Sea almost as many times….and most of the successor series over the years. I’m lucky to have discovered your channel in the early days, and have enjoyed the style and content that you’ve sharpened over those years. I think you have a very small number of channels that are anywhere close to your depth and quality of work.

    I'm impressed time and again by your work Mr. Felton, this subject in particular being one I had looked in to many years ago. I ended up buried in the same stories you brought up and some more fanciful ones that I'm assuming you've also seen and dismissed like I for the most part did. I'm certain at this point that we won't conclusively know totally for sure what happened since each official version meets counter evidence that is hard to ignore, on one level or another. I think younger generations will find these stories perhaps interesting but on a somewhat different level than we do, when I was a child I met and interacted with people who did experience and in some cases take part in the events of WW2, on various 'sides' as it were. I'll never forget one guy I got to know when I lived in Italy as a kid, he was our neighbor. Every morning, he'd go to his garage and put a freshly brewed cup of coffee in front of, and salute, a bust of Benito Mussolini. I've met and talked to Finnish guys who trained in Germany and had a rank in the SS, and various other 'cast members' of WW2 in some form. They are of course all dead now, but 30-40yrs ago they were still in good enough shape to tell things from their perspective, which taught me a lot. In particular since their stories are not written down anywhere or deemed worthy to be recorded.

  • @OldVermontGuy
    @OldVermontGuy 9 месяцев назад +29

    An awesome documentary - I related this story in an earlier Bormann segment, but I think it is work repeating in summary. I had a chance encounter one evening with a supertanker captain on vacation in the Philippines in 1977 who was staying at the same small hotel. As the small number of guests gathered around the fireplace after dinner, he related how about ten years earlier he was on a walking holiday high in the Bavarian Alps. He stopped at a small Guesthouse that served as the local "pub" in a tiny hamlet high up in the mountains. While at dinner in the company of a dozen or so locals, a stocky elderly man, in obviously frail health, entered the dining room. What caused the Captain to note the event was because the locals in the room went totally silent as he entered the dining/pub room. The proprietor personally greeted and waited on the man, treating him with obvious deference. The man ate and drank in silence and didn't interact with any of the locals. He got up and left without leaving any payment or interaction with the staff. After his departure, normal conversation began again among the locals. The captain related he had no idea who the person was at the time and was mostly struck by the behavior of the locals. The final oddity was when the Captain asked the proprietor at the time who that man was, the proprietor got very nervous and he never got an answer! A couple of years later, he happened upon a news report about Bormann that included some pictures. Upon seeing the pictures of who was a somewhat obscure, but important Nazi, he related that he immediately recognized a marked resemblance to this obviously older man he had seen several years earlier. His comment to us was the man's facial structure and his haunting eyes were the most striking similar feature. His assumption was that this old Nazi was residing in the area and the residents both knew who he was and were scared to incur any of his displeasure. The captain also commented that the area had a very large population of elderly residents who would definitely be in the age range to be WWII adults, including having been potentially active Nazis or living under the Nazis. He continued on his walking vacation and never had any other interactions with that area or the people living there.

    • @Mr.MFuckingYTchangedmyname
      @Mr.MFuckingYTchangedmyname 9 месяцев назад +14

      The problem I have with stories like that, as is stated in the video, is that Bormann was an anonymous face in Hitler's team. People wouldn't have known who he was, and after the fall of the 3rd Reich, he really was a nobody. He would never be a man with a great post-war following, a man with clout - his clout disappeared the moment Hitler killed himself. I can't see why the locals would be deferential to a man with no reputation for anything other than being a toady - in fact, I'd say it would make him more likely to be turned in by someone who didn't hark back to the "good old days" of the Reich, or someone just looking for some reward money. Bormann would have been a target, for those who may have had to bow and scrape to him when Hitler was alive, or had perhaps been humiliated or sidelined by him when they tried to communicate with Hitler. Bormann could only really survive by being ultra-ordinary, the kind of person who WASN'T known to the locals. Even if he squirreled away plenty of wealth during his time in Govt, I doubt he would have had enough to buy anonymity and safety for long.

      @@aiglonducal314I’ve read multiple books detailing the post war activities of the Nazi cult in diaspora in the aftermath of WWII. Mark Felton has taken a highly sensitive subject and shifted through a myriad of deceptions to produce what I consider to be the most through discussion of Martin Bormanns fate, ever put to film. I would suggest that you watch the video before dismissing its content out of hand.

    Excellent video and so refreshing not to have "the story so far' repeated at the beginning of each chapter as seems to be the norm in current TV documentaries! That kind of thing boils my swede. But with regard to the three demise scenarios....I wonder if there is any recorded evidence from Ita indicating the discovery of a disturbed grave at around the same time that Bormann's body reappeareds in Berlin?
    I like this format of compiling the series of videos in to one complete story. The Himmler one was also very good for that reason. Keep up the good work. Definitely one of the best history channels around.

    A friend of mine in the mid 70s had been a combat engineer with the Berlin Brigade. He had been dispatched to the grave site by his command. He himself found a rusted out HSC handgun at the site of Bormann’s skull. He, himself believed that at the least Bormann’s skull had been planted there by Neo Nazis. Per my friend, whom I trusted explicitly, there was an incredibly intricate organisation of Nazis operating in Germany at that time. Not truly “Neo”, but actual 1st or second generation Nazis. My question, which I never received an answer to, was “Why was the US military involved in the search for remains?”. That would make for an incredibly documentary.

      It's alleged that the adopted son of Walter Scheel, who was adopted from Bolivia and coincidently named Simon Martin Scheel, was actually the blood son of Martin Bormann, with a Bolivian, or Argentinian native woman.
      It's alleged that when Walter Scheel went to South America for a tour, he met with Bormann, who requested the boy have the opportunity to live a proper German life in Germany.
      If true, then not only is their another child, but the then newly post-war German Chancellor was not only well aware of Bormanns existence, but was apparently doing him a big favor.
