Here's one of the greatest thing about Mark. If this were a topic of a documentary on the History channel the documentary would have been 10 episodes long and 2 hours a piece. Mark is so concise and clear with his information presentation. There's no clickbait
This makes me wonder about my own family. My great-grandfather was in WWI and he rarely said anything about what he did, besides digging tunnels under Germans and almost losing a toe in an infection. So far all I know my dad has a long-lost cousin

What a lovely woman his mother was. Once I heard that the DNA testing said it wasn't so, I went from 90% to 100% certain that this man is NOT Hitler's son. So, I am equally certain that his mother knew he was not Hitler's son. Yet, she started this with him after the world found out what a monster Hitler was. Not only did the boy have to live with that stigma for no reason, his wife walked out on him over it. "Gee, thanks Mom!"
A resemblance is not proof. Here in Canada, there is popular speculation that Justin Trudeau was fathered by Fidel Castro due to some striking resemblances in photos. But no one has been able to prove that Trudeau's mother met Castro before 1976 when Justin was already 5 years old.
I have Linge's book. He mentions the above incident, but says that he left the room when Hitler wanted to talk with Himmler privately. At that time he did not know the topic of discussion. Afterwards "there was some talk of a woman and son." Linge says it was 37 years later when he learned the subjects' names in a journal article written by Werner Maser at the University of Salzburg in 1978.
Mark always manages to find interesting stories which most people havent considered or thought about, and he does it without bias. It adds so much depth to the entire picture of the war.

6:49 Sadly, Philippe Loret appears to be proud of his claimed heritage to Hitler. If I were in that spot, I'd be constantly worried that someone might find out.
I agree, but I don’t even think he seriously thought he was a descendant. He was likely just a creep who liked Hitler, and used the supposed heritage as an excuse for it. You see that sometimes in the states; descendants of civil war veterans will claim they’re just proud of their grandfathers fighting spirit. When I’m reality, they’re proud of the history of slavery and need a more palatable excuse for that.
Your pronunciations of German, French. And other European languages is spot on! It shows the detail and effort you put into your videos! Thanks for another great one Dr Felton!

This raises a simpler and more fundamental question - it would be a great topic for Mr. Felton to look into. What governments, if any, are in possession of Hitler's DNA? I'm talking about 100% confirmed as Hitler's DNA. The tests mentioned in this video that were done by the journalists, etc, are completely invalid if we don't know 100% they had the correct DNA samples. A positive match confirming paternity is one thing, however a negative match can simply mean you don't have the correct DNA samples. If we don't know for certain the pedigree of the samples, then nothing has been proven either way.
The issue is that in 1945, no one was properly collecting DNA samples because the theory was not developed enough. Biological material was being collected, but not with DNA identification in mind, so such samples either contained no viable DNA to start with or were improperly preserved (often stored in toxic chemicals and/or frequently contaminated), usually destroying the validity of the samples for DNA purposes. There are purported biological samples of Hitler, be it hair, blood, and other materials. The sourcing of these samples is questionable, because it was not like Hitler was giving away blood, ripped-out hair with root material, and other stuff to people on a regular basis. There is a story that the Soviets found someone they believed was Hitler, collected material from the body, but that is just a story as things stand, and even if they did find a body they thought was Hitler, it does not mean it was actually Hitler, just that they thought it was.
There are a lot of interesting stories on this subject. Unfortunately, nobody has really followed up now that DNA is widely available. For example, it was apparently widely believed that Bormann oldest son was actually Hitlers child. He lived a long life but it was never tested. I would also point out that Hitler only liking younger women isn’t really accurate either, at least based on what I’ve read. Understandably, though, mainstream historians don’t go digging all that deep into this subject.
He had considered marrying Wagner's youngest grand-daughter, but decided the age-gap was too great. She emigrated to America and made broadcasts attacking Hitler and his party.
@@Jonathanbegg I believe you are referring to Winifred Wagner, who was the widow of Wagner's son Siegfried. She was English and I'm not sure where you get the stuff about someone later attacking Hitler from America, unless you are confusing her with Hitler's nephew (who did do all of that). There are several sources that say Hitler discussed marriage with her, as he was a supporter of the family. She was close to 40 at the time, though, so not young.
Well if i would need to take educated guess i would say he would/had been interested very much in Leni Riefenstahl. Younger, for sure his type ( base on Braun and Raubal ) but he would Blomberg himself with this romance. And this is not something he could keep secret - Riefenstahl was no Braun that he could keep away from public. She was known to much to hide such fact. They were close but Leni past would undermine Hitler rule and position very much. We would think that person with such power should have no problem with finding spouse with status and past good enough but well as we see - this was not a case. There was a lot of women from nobility in NSDAP which would be perfect match for Hitler in terms of providing more and more legitimization. I guess he was not interested in it.
He was romantically/sexually interested and involved with his niece and Eva Braun both of which being young. I don’t know where you got your information but a lot of that is wrong.
Nice work Mark. Once again, I’m impressed. But I must say, he looks enough like Hitler to be his son. And considering these DNA tests were run with questionable DNA, I think it could be very possible. But you have presented the facts in a quick and concise manner. Indeed, I think your channel ought to be a part of history curriculum everywhere. It’s accurate and it has no extra garbage we don’t need. Well done!
Jay Nordlinger discusses this strange case in his excellent book "Children of Dictators." Another amazing detail from the book: one of Mussolini's sons was an acclaimed musician performing under a stage name, but he eventually reverted to using his real surname and attracted much larger crowds to his concerts.
Alessandra Mussolini (his granddaughter iirc) was a good singer. look up some of her work. she worked with the japanese which is funny. the italian japanese musical axis
After the main character is dead, many come forward to claim to be offspring. The woman that claimed to be a surviving Romanov for example. It can't be long before somebody claims to be Thatcher's illegitimate heir.
@@exactlybasically8603 People do weird things for fame. Some even become mass killers. Being Hitler's son would certainly make one a celebrity of sorts, and it did for him in the 70s.
Interesting. I do wonder when Linge wrote his memoirs, as if they were during 1970s, it could be argued that he was aware of Loret and added the mention of him in order to ad some salacious spice to Hitler's life. I also think it would be worth examining the original memoirs against the editors copy as it's possible the editor(s) may have taken liberties.
@Bonka Someone wrote that he had read the book by Linge and that Linge didn't actually know the subject of the talk. He knew that is was about a women and a boy or something like that. Later he figured from Werner Maser's theory on Hitlers son that this was the subject. So perhaps Linge shouldn't be seen as the source but Maser. Might have been Himmlers son or anything really.
Hitler was a notorious homosexual. He surrounded himself with them until the bloody massacre of the Night of the Long Knives so as to favour himself with the military.
Possible but EXTREMELY unlikely. At least not any that he would know about. In this day and age it's very easy to prove with DNA. Hitler has plenty of relatives still alive today.
Someone I knew, that was selling encyclopedia's door to door back in the 70"s, actually claims to have met Hitler, who was living quietly, at his home in Van Nuys...
I met Saddam Hussein once, in the Toronto subway, during the course of the first Gulf War. At least he SAID he was Saddam Hussein. I was standing among several others awaiting a train when we heard a very animated conversation behind us. At a certain point, the conversation grew so animated, several of us turned to see what was going on, in my case because there was only a single voice and I wasn't sure who he was talking to. As we turned around, the speaker declared that he was Saddam Hussein - although he bore no resemblance whatsoever - and assured us that he was going to "kick our asses", presumably referring to the Coalition that was ranged against him in the Gulf.
I love literally every video you have put out Mr. Felton. Thank you for the great content and keeping history alive!! I think if schools showed kids your videos a lot more children would be history buffs!
Seeing Hitler as "Uncle Hitler" and getting along with children is rather haunting. We've been so accustomed to view him as either a phantom of history or a total monster ignoring his humanity that clips like those do not seem real. As usual, amazing work from Mark.
@@jwhiskey242 Wrong, there were countless upon countless of firsthand accounts saying that he was very kind and respectful to them. Many people who met him personally thought he was a wonderful person.
As a side observation, it's rather sad to see how well he interacted with children and the natural rapport he had with them. Like with his artwork, it's a reflection of a gentler side and the man he might have been had he not turned towards evil.
I always hated the idea of painting hitler as a rabid madman.. it makes him no longer human. While we must understand that he was very much human. (Although years of drugs from his physicians and side effect of gas, paranoia and alienation did not helped him).
He's your typical modern day liberal. Vegetarian didn't like cigarettes(probably would vape if it had been around) wanted to be an artist and he liked younger girls. There's several prominent democrats who openly hate on Jews as well. Oh and lets not forget the fact that he was a socialist.
It perhaps suggests how evil truly works. I do think _The Downfall_ was the best movie I know of about Hitler and the Third Reich. He certainly wasn't good but he certainly had his view of what was good and what was not. I suggest that with his racial theory, he had a view of who was human and who was not and therefore could justify all sorts of evil on who was not.
Absolutely stunning video Dr. Felton on a claim, that is extremely strange in every detail. This is one of your videos I’ve missed somewhere, with You Tubes weird lack of notification on your content at times. It’s annoying only seeing this today, with notifications on.
Himmler had a cottage in Finland. At that time, young women washed men's backs. I can imagine one thing leading to another. Himmler dressed casually and was escorted by the police. Among other things, he bought toys from the Stockmann department store, which he donated to orphans. Interestingly, Stockmann is still operating in Moscow, despite the current sanctions.
"Hitler Has Only Got One Ball", sometimes known as "The River Kwai March", is a World War II British song, the lyrics of which, sung to the tune of the World War I-era "Colonel Bogey March", impugn the masculinity of Nazi leaders by alleging they had missing, deformed, or undersized testicles. Multiple variant lyrics exist, but the most common version refers to rumours that Adolf Hitler had monorchism ("one ball"), and accuses Hermann Göring and Heinrich Himmler of microorchidism ("two but very small") and Joseph Goebbels of anorchia ("no balls at all"). An alternative version suggests Hitler's missing testicle is displayed as a war trophy in the Royal Albert Hall.
It is soooo weird seeing Hitler being that kind, sweet, and loving with children. It's hard to resolve those images with the person and behaviors all of us most commonly associate him with today.
Apparently kids loved him as well, he seemed to be one of those who, normally, would be the favourite uncle who had no kids of his own so spoiled his nephews/nieces instead.
Well, that's because Hitler was...well...a person. Not a demon ranting and raving at all hours but a deeply troubled and flawed human being. History presents him as this raving lunatic when in reality those who knew him, knew him as a quiet and charming person who loved animals and children. That doesn't mean he didn't do anything WRONG - he certainly played his part - but the reality is, a lot of things attributed to Hitler were carried out by those AROUND him, and he was just the public FACE of the party. Not all decisions made were even his idea. Some were, some weren't, and on some things he was puppeted by other, smarter men who knew how to manipulate his belief system and get him to make orders they wanted him to make. Hitler didn't start life out with an intention to "kill all the jews" - he BECAME that way over time due to his experiences, his (flawed and incorrect) information sources (remember, the internet did not exist then - you couldn't just look things up), racial beliefs of the time, the aftermath of Germany's loss in WWI and the need he felt for them to reclaim their dignity and power as a people - a LOT of things contributed to Hitler BECOMING the "monster" history remembers him as. But that's the easy answer. To simply say someone did what they did because they were evil, end of story. Nobody is born evil - in fact I'd argue that there is no true "good" or "evil" - only what we PERCEIVE to be "right" and "wrong" and therefore "good" or "evil" - but morality is not universal among all living things or even among humans. It's much harder to face the truth: Hitler was just another human like you and me and everyone else, and t hat we ALL have the POTENTIAL in us to go to that place and do dark, dark deeds if we allow ourselves to go down that path or to be lead down that path by our experiences and upbringing. I suggest the film Der Untergang - The Downfall - about Hitler's last days in the bunker. You probably saw a clip from it - it has become that famous meme where Hitler is ranting about this or that topic - "Hitler reacts to _____" - that's from that movie. But it's actually REALLY accurate according to people who really knew Hitler in terms of what he was actually like - so if you want to understand what the real Hitler was REALLY like in daily life, watch that movie.
Always remember the head of Hitler's staff, Herbert Dohring, and his wife, who was a housekeeper saying that the two of them looked at Hitler's bedsheets for "stains" when Eva Braun stayed. Apparently they never saw anything.

Why does it matter if he had a son? Is cancer culture going to go after him or his children too? Like force them to do a bunch of TED Talks at gunpoint?
What would be even worse is if he isn’t the descendant of Hitler, his mom knew that, and lied to him anyway. That’s man’s life was ruined after that.

I think these Lorets are posers. The actual living RELATIVES of Hitler, not even directly related to him by blood, wanted to severe all connection they had with him. The sons of Hitler's half brother and other siblings are actually so done with this that they have decided(idiotically) not to marry or have children, thereby ending the Hitler bloodline. Idiotically because they have no connection to Hitler and should live their lives normally. They have obviously changed their surnames and are living in US and UK. I don't understand what purpose are they fulfilling by destroying their own private lives.

There is a story that the Soviets found someone they believed was Hitler, collected material from the body, but that is just a story as things stand, and even if they did find a body they thought was Hitler, it does not mean it was actually Hitler, just that they thought it was.
I have some of his DNA
Hitler came in my mouth, I've some some DNA to provide.
There are a lot of interesting stories on this subject. Unfortunately, nobody has really followed up now that DNA is widely available. For example, it was apparently widely believed that Bormann oldest son was actually Hitlers child. He lived a long life but it was never tested. I would also point out that Hitler only liking younger women isn’t really accurate either, at least based on what I’ve read. Understandably, though, mainstream historians don’t go digging all that deep into this subject.
He had considered marrying Wagner's youngest grand-daughter, but decided the age-gap was too great. She emigrated to America and made broadcasts attacking Hitler and his party.
@@Jonathanbegg I believe you are referring to Winifred Wagner, who was the widow of Wagner's son Siegfried. She was English and I'm not sure where you get the stuff about someone later attacking Hitler from America, unless you are confusing her with Hitler's nephew (who did do all of that). There are several sources that say Hitler discussed marriage with her, as he was a supporter of the family. She was close to 40 at the time, though, so not young.
WOULD HAVE MADE A GREAT MAURY POVICH SHOW !!
“ ADOLPH, YOU ARE THE DAD!!!
Well if i would need to take educated guess i would say he would/had been interested very much in Leni Riefenstahl. Younger, for sure his type ( base on Braun and Raubal ) but he would Blomberg himself with this romance. And this is not something he could keep secret - Riefenstahl was no Braun that he could keep away from public. She was known to much to hide such fact.
They were close but Leni past would undermine Hitler rule and position very much.
We would think that person with such power should have no problem with finding spouse with status and past good enough but well as we see - this was not a case. There was a lot of women from nobility in NSDAP which would be perfect match for Hitler in terms of providing more and more legitimization. I guess he was not interested in it.
He was romantically/sexually interested and involved with his niece and Eva Braun both of which being young. I don’t know where you got your information but a lot of that is wrong.
Mr Felton has a great sense of humor as well as historical knowledge.
Nice work Mark. Once again, I’m impressed. But I must say, he looks enough like Hitler to be his son. And considering these DNA tests were run with questionable DNA, I think it could be very possible. But you have presented the facts in a quick and concise manner. Indeed, I think your channel ought to be a part of history curriculum everywhere. It’s accurate and it has no extra garbage we don’t need. Well done!
He has been found to use plagiarism in his youtube videos.
Even his supposed grandson looks like him.
His moustache looks identical. Very interesting that he chose to adopt that look. Does the grandson have one too?
I would say even the eyes are quite similar…

Its a bummer when your dictator father gets deposed or looses a major war. :)

Interesting. I do wonder when Linge wrote his memoirs, as if they were during 1970s, it could be argued that he was aware of Loret and added the mention of him in order to ad some salacious spice to Hitler's life. I also think it would be worth examining the original memoirs against the editors copy as it's possible the editor(s) may have taken liberties.
@Bonka Someone wrote that he had read the book by Linge and that Linge didn't actually know the subject of the talk. He knew that is was about a women and a boy or something like that. Later he figured from Werner Maser's theory on Hitlers son that this was the subject. So perhaps Linge shouldn't be seen as the source but Maser.
Might have been Himmlers son or anything really.
I was thinking exactly the same thing as I watched. If he had no idea of Loret's claim, why else would he mention being ordered to find them?
That is a genuine possibility
Irrelevant DNA doesn't match.
Hitler was a notorious homosexual. He surrounded himself with them until the bloody massacre of the Night of the Long Knives so as to favour himself with the military.
It’s quite possible that he had an entire family! There is a belief that he had a daughter named Ursula (Uschi )
Possible but EXTREMELY unlikely. At least not any that he would know about. In this day and age it's very easy to prove with DNA. Hitler has plenty of relatives still alive today.
Ursula von der leyen ?

I highly recommend Heinz Linge’s book “with hitler to the end.”
There is also a suggestion in his half-sister's diary (Bridget) that Hitler visited England in the early 1920s.
Do you know if the diary is published?
Stayed in Liverpool apparently.
Looked it up. It was the wife of his half-brother. There is no other evidence.
@@MichaelGGarry that has actually been admitted to be manufactured in order to gain money & attention.

Someone I knew, that was selling encyclopedia's door to door back in the 70"s, actually claims to have met Hitler, who was living quietly, at his home in Van Nuys...
I met Saddam Hussein once, in the Toronto subway, during the course of the first Gulf War. At least he SAID he was Saddam Hussein. I was standing among several others awaiting a train when we heard a very animated conversation behind us. At a certain point, the conversation grew so animated, several of us turned to see what was going on, in my case because there was only a single voice and I wasn't sure who he was talking to. As we turned around, the speaker declared that he was Saddam Hussein - although he bore no resemblance whatsoever - and assured us that he was going to "kick our asses", presumably referring to the Coalition that was ranged against him in the Gulf.

As always mark ur videos are always interesting u learn so much thank you
I love literally every video you have put out Mr. Felton. Thank you for the great content and keeping history alive!! I think if schools showed kids your videos a lot more children would be history buffs!
Seeing Hitler as "Uncle Hitler" and getting along with children is rather haunting. We've been so accustomed to view him as either a phantom of history or a total monster ignoring his humanity that clips like those do not seem real.
As usual, amazing work from Mark.
Makes me wonder how is god children felt when they found out their godfather was a monster .
Loved children, was always nice to the ladies, and a dog lover to a fault. A single person can have some opposite extremes to their personalities.
Mainly for propaganda. He needed to be shown as a family man, yet at the same time, married to the state.
The greatest story never told
@@jwhiskey242 Wrong, there were countless upon countless of firsthand accounts saying that he was very kind and respectful to them. Many people who met him personally thought he was a wonderful person.
The thumbnail is hilarious :)
As a side observation, it's rather sad to see how well he interacted with children and the natural rapport he had with them. Like with his artwork, it's a reflection of a gentler side and the man he might have been had he not turned towards evil.
I'm pretty sure that the Goebbels children would challenge his love for children.
I always hated the idea of painting hitler as a rabid madman.. it makes him no longer human.
While we must understand that he was very much human.
(Although years of drugs from his physicians and side effect of gas, paranoia and alienation did not helped him).
@@quintrankid8045 🤣🤣🤣 Right?
He's your typical modern day liberal. Vegetarian didn't like cigarettes(probably would vape if it had been around) wanted to be an artist and he liked younger girls. There's several prominent democrats who openly hate on Jews as well. Oh and lets not forget the fact that he was a socialist.
It perhaps suggests how evil truly works. I do think _The Downfall_ was the best movie I know of about Hitler and the Third Reich. He certainly wasn't good but he certainly had his view of what was good and what was not. I suggest that with his racial theory, he had a view of who was human and who was not and therefore could justify all sorts of evil on who was not.
Though it sounds like the man in the film probably wasn't hitlers son, he sure looks like him.
That was my first impression as well.
My impression as well...
Absolutely stunning video Dr. Felton on a claim, that is extremely strange in every detail. This is one of your videos I’ve missed somewhere, with You Tubes weird lack of notification on your content at times. It’s annoying only seeing this today, with notifications on.
Himmler had a cottage in Finland. At that time, young women washed men's backs. I can imagine one thing leading to another. Himmler dressed casually and was escorted by the police. Among other things, he bought toys from the Stockmann department store, which he donated to orphans. Interestingly, Stockmann is still operating in Moscow, despite the current sanctions.
The guy that claims to be his grandson, REALLY looks like him. Crazy...

He looks like my high school teacher too...
@@Liitebulb Are you faceblind? Nobody is just looking at the moustache here, even without it he definitely looks like Hitler
That guy is me. I am that guy. I am so beautiful. People are just jealous.
"Hitler Has Only Got One Ball", sometimes known as "The River Kwai March", is a World War II British song, the lyrics of which, sung to the tune of the World War I-era "Colonel Bogey March", impugn the masculinity of Nazi leaders by alleging they had missing, deformed, or undersized testicles. Multiple variant lyrics exist, but the most common version refers to rumours that Adolf Hitler had monorchism ("one ball"), and accuses Hermann Göring and Heinrich Himmler of microorchidism ("two but very small") and Joseph Goebbels of anorchia ("no balls at all"). An alternative version suggests Hitler's missing testicle is displayed as a war trophy in the Royal Albert Hall.
truly, what a marvel of intellect. the british were never a bright lot, just look at their fottball chants. as best as their music gets.
If I were Hitler's son, the last thing I would want was for other people to know about it.
I'm just here for the music......
It is soooo weird seeing Hitler being that kind, sweet, and loving with children. It's hard to resolve those images with the person and behaviors all of us most commonly associate him with today.
Apparently kids loved him as well, he seemed to be one of those who, normally, would be the favourite uncle who had no kids of his own so spoiled his nephews/nieces instead.
H has never been accused of being a paedophile. Accused of much else, but not that. Odd?
Well, that's because Hitler was...well...a person. Not a demon ranting and raving at all hours but a deeply troubled and flawed human being. History presents him as this raving lunatic when in reality those who knew him, knew him as a quiet and charming person who loved animals and children. That doesn't mean he didn't do anything WRONG - he certainly played his part - but the reality is, a lot of things attributed to Hitler were carried out by those AROUND him, and he was just the public FACE of the party. Not all decisions made were even his idea. Some were, some weren't, and on some things he was puppeted by other, smarter men who knew how to manipulate his belief system and get him to make orders they wanted him to make.
Hitler didn't start life out with an intention to "kill all the jews" - he BECAME that way over time due to his experiences, his (flawed and incorrect) information sources (remember, the internet did not exist then - you couldn't just look things up), racial beliefs of the time, the aftermath of Germany's loss in WWI and the need he felt for them to reclaim their dignity and power as a people - a LOT of things contributed to Hitler BECOMING the "monster" history remembers him as.
But that's the easy answer. To simply say someone did what they did because they were evil, end of story. Nobody is born evil - in fact I'd argue that there is no true "good" or "evil" - only what we PERCEIVE to be "right" and "wrong" and therefore "good" or "evil" - but morality is not universal among all living things or even among humans. It's much harder to face the truth: Hitler was just another human like you and me and everyone else, and t hat we ALL have the POTENTIAL in us to go to that place and do dark, dark deeds if we allow ourselves to go down that path or to be lead down that path by our experiences and upbringing.
I suggest the film Der Untergang - The Downfall - about Hitler's last days in the bunker. You probably saw a clip from it - it has become that famous meme where Hitler is ranting about this or that topic - "Hitler reacts to _____" - that's from that movie. But it's actually REALLY accurate according to people who really knew Hitler in terms of what he was actually like - so if you want to understand what the real Hitler was REALLY like in daily life, watch that movie.
I ran my face through one of those AI things that turn your face into an old-timey painting, and I look identical to Hitler. It's kind of scary.
I'm so sorry mate.
So, are you thinking of running for office?
Try to find a career in arts. I would suggest that you pursue the path to Vienna Art School. It's quite good, I know from an Austrian friend of mine.
Mate I did that as well I didn’t know what to think
Always remember the head of Hitler's staff, Herbert Dohring, and his wife, who was a housekeeper saying that the two of them looked at Hitler's bedsheets for "stains" when Eva Braun stayed. Apparently they never saw anything.

Probably the most shocking aspect of this story is that there’s more than two people who want folks to think they’re directly related to Hitler.
right!! was thinking the same. You would think people would want to keep this a secret
given human nature, is it better to be son of a nobody, or son of someone infamous? what will give you the most attention/notoriety? Its the same as victimhood mentality that some take on these days..... Victimhood gives you a kind of status.v
Attention is one hell of a drug.
I think these Lorets are posers. The actual living RELATIVES of Hitler, not even directly related to him by blood, wanted to severe all connection they had with him. The sons of Hitler's half brother and other siblings are actually so done with this that they have decided(idiotically) not to marry or have children, thereby ending the Hitler bloodline.
Idiotically because they have no connection to Hitler and should live their lives normally. They have obviously changed their surnames and are living in US and UK. I don't understand what purpose are they fulfilling by destroying their own private lives.
