Many of his personal items from this apartment are currently in Oklahoma City on display. Free to the public, 45th infantry division Museum. A personal copy of mein kampf, dishware, silverware, a cape, etc. It's the world's largest public display of his personal items. (Not from the apartment) the last mirror that he most likely looked into in the bunker is also there and was captured by a 45th infantry division soldier.
This is so interesting! I was passing through OKC years ago and visited the bombing museum. I wish I'd known about this. Maybe I'll pass through again and have the chance to check it out.
Used to go there as a kid. Such a fantastic little museum. I’ve always made sure to leave generous (for me) donations when I take my kids like my mom did when I was a kid. To keep it open and free for generations to come is my hope, and for $100 for myself and my two kids, reasonably that’s only about $40 more maybe than another museum. Proud of the 45th.
Believe it or not, the Oklahoma troops who liberated the place had a swastika symbol before the war. (It was an American Indian symbol, and still widely in use.) It was prudently changed to a thunderbird because everyone was shooting at troops wearing swastikas. Also, the history museum also has a moving exhibit on the liberation of Dachau. If you are ever in Oklahoma City, this museum is a must see.
Yes, my high school had it tiled on the floor in honor of our mascot and regional roots. (Our city was named after an Indian chief.) However, the crooked part of the arms went in the opposite direction from the swastika. During the war, it was covered over. The nazis ruined so much.
Mark, since I was young, the voices of Laurence Olivier ("World at War") and Charlton Heston were the voices of history. They've now slid over to make room for you. The detail, the research, the precision and the clarity of your documentaries is second to none. I've come to appreciate that your videos are also unique on RUclips because while there are other top-shelf productions made available, yours are almost always accompanied by a fascinating "Comments" section. The stories that your documentaries trigger are a treasure trove of experiences and recollections that are available nowhere else, and would've never been shared if not for your work.
Agreed here. I remember my father watching World at War on WGN in Chicago in the 1970's. Dr. Felton's work is just as good, and in some ways, even better.
My dad, a Captain in the 45th - was born in Munich, not far from this building. His fluency in German, Italian and French came in handy during the war. He earned a bronze star during a combat mission near Monte Casino but seldom discussed the war with us. He was trained at Camp Ritchie and was later part of the AMG - the Allied Military Government, which was created to restore order in cities after the allies swept through. He had no desire to return to Germany and thankfully he never had to as his unit remained in Italy. His uncle, a Munich doctor and WWI veteran, who earned an Iron Cross 1st Class, was imprisoned in Dachau following Kristallnacht. He was released a few weeks later as some of his patients were high ranking Nazi’s and were able to assist. I can’t imagine how devastating it would have been for my dad if he had to enter Dachau as a liberator.
@@maddieb.4282 I'll go way out on a limb and guess Dave meant any random and obscure object, not subject... in this case, the bath tub. Of course, only he knows for sure what he meant.
That´s crazy. I´m from Munich and didn´t even know this! While I knew he had an apartment in the Schleißheimerstraße 34 in Munich I didn´t know about this one. I drive with my bike EVERYDAY to work there! (you can even see the bikelane in the down left corner of the image used here 2:11, which I use to get back home from work) Fascinating! Thank you!
Also, I'm not sure if this is just a rumor, but there is a story that when the building became a police station, officers would use the balcony to smoke cigarettes and gather in front of the building. However, due to the building's historical significance and the fact that it was once occupied by Hitler, neighbors who lived there during that time felt threatened by the sight of uniformed individuals on the balcony and in front of the building. As a result, a rule was implemented prohibiting police from using the balcony or standing outside the building for smoking. I am unsure about the veracity of this story and whether the police are generally allowed to smoke while in uniform. If anyone has more information on this, please let me know.
Welcome to my actual neighbourhood Mr. Felton! I want to add a fun story to your report. One of my older teachers told us that as a little girl, she lived on the upper floor, and her balcony (or window) was exactly abobe the one of Mr. H. When she saw a pot of hot soup standing on the future Fuehrer's balcony to cool down one day, she spat in this pot. She was really rather proud of what she did for all her life. Cheers from a Munich resident!
I for one am glad that the buildings that you have mentioned, for historical reasons, are still there. My wife and I have been to all of them, as grown kids are on their own now. We love Munich. Thanks again for your video.
as I said in a previous video, the architecture is incredible but it's a razor's edge: preserve it for history and risk it becoming an icon or remove and erase it?
Yes, it is surprising how unchanged some of the historic buildings are, at least from the exterior. Thank you, Professor Felton for your extensive and detailed work.
You will find many old buildings in German pretty much unchanged, but well maintained. We love these. The beautiful building is not guilty for the people it housed.
@@donalddodson7365 Hi Donald, I am mentioning this, because I live so long in Singapore. Here is nothing really old. It is something that I see now, but previously I did not have eyes for it.
I’ve visited the 45th infantry museum and seen these artifacts, very much worth the trip! It was free of charge and a kind veteran volunteer gave us additional stories and history about some of the items.
As a „Mingara“ (Munich-born and raised) I was always interested in my city‘s history. The apartment is now used by the local police (police department of district 22 - Bogenhausen) and has been subject of several documentaries made by the local broadcaster BR. The room in which Hitler‘s niece, Geli Raubal, committed suicide serves as a conference room today. It’s been used as a class room/IT training room for future dispatchers.
Do you know what color the bathroom tiles were in the photo that Lee Miller took in one of his tubs? I haven't been able to find documentation on this.
@@James-to7pi Erdgeschoss/Ground Floor or Floor 0 is known by people in the US as the first floor. That's how the numbering system works, it's simply a fact.
As a long time subscriber, I am always impressed by your exhaustive research, professional production values and even your British voice gives these often over looked fascinating glimpses of WWII history an air of character. Thanks again, Mark.
Mark, there's another little known place on the eastern edge of Ascheffenburg. It's located on a hill overlooking the training area where the German troops in the area did their maneuvers and later became the training area for the U.S. troops stationed there. It's a cover bunker type of place and takes a bit of a hike up the hill to visit it. That is if it's still there. I last visited it in late 1991
Big fan of your work. I wonder if you could produce a video about Eduard Bloch. Hitler’s Jewish childhood doctor who happened to be the only Jewish person he protected. Also, still waiting on your video about Reinhard Hyderich. It’s sure to be as informative and educative as your previous videos, most of which I’ve watched a billion times.
Yes! I know very little about Bloch and he would definitely be an interesting man to do a video about. Apparently he was related to Franz Kafka (or his wife was?) & he moved to the US where he did a brief interview in about 1943 discussing his work as the Hitlers' physician. I'm sure you can dig up some more info and give us an amazing video on this man.
I believe Hitler also protected his old CO from WW1 who was Jewish as well, in fact the man who recommended him for his Iron Cross 1st Class. He and his family were allowed to leave Germany unmolested.
Dr. Felton. Your videos are always Amazing. Always bringing something new and informative. Always looking forward to the next piece of work. And you are my favorite war historian. Thank you for all your hard work. Dr. Felton. 🙌
I printed 0:57 and put it up at my desk at work. Someone asked what it was and I said it was a friend. But I just wanted a picture of Mark standing by the ruins of Hitlers house.

Mark, I am truly impressed by the quantity and quality of your work. Your enthusiasm perspires throughout. I presume you reside in Germany, otherwise how could you cover so many spots around Hitler's Germany. Very well documented. Kudos!
Excellent video, Dr. Mark! I really enjoyed this one. I plan to make a brief photo stop there when I visit Munich next year. Many of your videos have provided me with several "hot tips" as to historical places worth a visit. Many thanks!
Hey Mark - I see you were in Obersalzberg this past month. How many visits is that for you total? I'm still hoping to make my first tip to the area sometime next year (as part of a vacation/holiday to Germany/Austria).
Mark, I am sure you know the singer Cher. In english her name more or less begins with the letter S when spoken out loud. As in Sher. Now imagine replacing the S with a soft C and you would have a close enough syllable to use in Sicherheits (Dienst), for the second syllable. Another good one to use is to slap the soft C in front of the word Herr (Mr.). You already knwo how to say Herr in german. It might be easier for you to cut the word up by their syllables. Sich er heitz, which are almost three separate german words. Sich meaning self. Er meaning he. Heitz is not a word but part of a word. Heitzung meaning heater. Sich er heitz(ung). I know it is not easy for a non native to get the pronounciations right in the german language but i am always impressed with how much you try. You get in right most of the time. Greetings from Devon! Yes, i do speak german fluently. I just came up with another one. Ever tried hissing like a cat by expelling air through your mouth? Have a lightly opened mouth with a depressed tongue and then force air through the narrowed gap in the back of your throat. I scare the living daylights out of rats, when i see them, with that hiss. That hiss is also close to the sound needed in Si cher heits. Far easier to just sound it out for you but we dont have that option here, do we? Tried to help.....
Lee Miller’s home in Sussex, Farley House, open to the public, is worth a visit- a few bits of Hitler’s silver are on view, presumably from her visit to his Munich apartment…
yes, and i'm really hoping he can lend his expertise to other conflicts too, especially both Iraq wars, which have largely been blanketed by western propaganda. we must get to the bottom of these terrible fiascos
I believe the desk at 3:08 wound up at an auction near Cleveland Ohio a few years ago, which I attended. Only brought a fraction of its estimated value.
I visited the outside of this apartment in Munich a week ago. I rang the doorbell and asked i it was possible to visit inside and was told it wasn't possible. But I was able to take a good photo of the interior stairway through the glass door. I'm surprised this video didn't show that view, as it is quite easily visible.
"This is one place where a little 'light trespassing' might have dire consequences for the historian." I love Mark's gravitas and respect for his material. That makes it all the more entertaining when a nugget of humor appears. Another great and informative video.
Hello, I love your content! I am just wondering how long you spend each day reading about these interesting times throughout history? Thank you again for your work.
Another great story, I had never seen that photo of Lee Miller taking a bath in Adolf's bath tub. That must have been quite bizarre, wonder if he used the odd bathbomb or two.
Nobody is allowed to rent it and the Bavarian Land government owns the building. What Mark doesn’t mention is Chabad Lubavitch has an office opposite Hitler’s apartment on the same street where he once lived!
Hi Mark. Love your work! It would be awesome if you had time and knowledge to make some videos about Finland in WW2. Especially from the swedish speaking minority of west coast of Finland. They had many heroes in WW2 in Finland. My grand father fought at Viborg but I never had the chance to meet him since he passed away 2 years before I was born. You surely know of Larry Thorne, Mannerheim and The White Death. Mannerheim actually spoke better swedish than finnish.
Napoleon occupied the same place in the Victorians' imagination. Some Englishmen tried to promote the ex-Kaiser into that position, but Hitler seized it and will hold on to it for a good while.
“funny”? people are always going to be fascinated by the dregs of humanity - jack the ripper, henry VIII, jeffrey epstein, etc - the worst examples of humanity are endlessly fascinating, and always have been
Famous photo at 2:47, but I've always wondered what the apparent mask is, on the table in the foreground: A Death mask? It's a very strange object for Hitler to have lying around 🤔
very interesting video I'm no expert on WW2 but feel I know more than kids today know. I'm subscribed to Mark Felton's channell and looking forward to his next video.
I once went to this location and pretended to ring on the doorbell, only for a policeman to pop out of the door as I was doing so. His old flat is now a police station. Incidentally, when I did that quite a few years ago, there were no obvious signs of it being a police station, unlike the signage now being shown in this video.
Tee hee. Hitler claimed to have a potion which could preserve human life for roughly a millennium. He does. He's now a professional singer. That police station employs the police from Stephen King's story Rock 'N' Roll Heaven. Take it from me: you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave. (The Eagles, Hotel California) The large gatherers of admirers may indeed have admired Hitler, but they were mostly plainclothes bodyguards I'm sure.
My name is Geli I live on the second floor I live upstairs from you Yes I think you've seen me before If you hear a gunshot late at night Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight Just don't ask me what it was *gun drop*
"But I have the feeling the Bavarian government won't be putting up any blue plaques anytime soon"...I busted out laughing at that quip. 😆 Love the Brits sense of humor 🤣
As a bavarian police officer I asked my colleagues if I could take a quick piss, when I was in Munich last year, in exact this Polizeiinspektion. Didn`t know about this until now! XD Thank you very much for telling me this detail! Greetings from Germany!

Sheer brilliance as always Dr Felton. I can't seem to understand why there can't be cease-fire between Russia and Ukraine and stop this unwanted war
Russia won't stop and Ukraine can't afford to stop. If there's a cease-fire it's going to have to come from Putin, and no-one else.
Not unwanted by Putin; though he doesn't call it a "war".
Love the "Blue Sign" comment at the end. Very British.
it would be interesting to know more about the housekeeper - did she leave any trace in the historical record?
Fascinating details - Thank you, Mark.
Mark, I am truly impressed by the quantity and quality of your work. Your enthusiasm perspires throughout. I presume you reside in Germany, otherwise how could you cover so many spots around Hitler's Germany. Very well documented. Kudos!
He doesn't have to reside in Germany to learn as much as he's learned. His channel About says he resides in the UK.
Mark Felton's brilliant productions are amazing!
Just some light reconnaissance this time, Agent Felton? Gotta admit, that building is gorgeous 👍
Great video, amazing photos.
Mark, you can always find interesting things to talk about! Thank you!
Thanks
Can't believe you got a photo of the legend, Mark Felton, out the front of the bughof... 0:48
I get so stoked when I see you post❤
Excellent video, Dr. Mark! I really enjoyed this one. I plan to make a brief photo stop there when I visit Munich next year. Many of your videos have provided me with several "hot tips" as to historical places worth a visit. Many thanks!

Another well done and very informative episode.
Hey Mark - I see you were in Obersalzberg this past month. How many visits is that for you total? I'm still hoping to make my first tip to the area sometime next year (as part of a vacation/holiday to Germany/Austria).
Mark, I am sure you know the singer Cher. In english her name more or less begins with the letter S when spoken out loud. As in Sher. Now imagine replacing the S with a soft C and you would have a close enough syllable to use in Sicherheits (Dienst), for the second syllable. Another good one to use is to slap the soft C in front of the word Herr (Mr.). You already knwo how to say Herr in german.
It might be easier for you to cut the word up by their syllables. Sich er heitz, which are almost three separate german words. Sich meaning self. Er meaning he. Heitz is not a word but part of a word. Heitzung meaning heater. Sich er heitz(ung).
I know it is not easy for a non native to get the pronounciations right in the german language but i am always impressed with how much you try. You get in right most of the time.
Greetings from Devon! Yes, i do speak german fluently. I just came up with another one. Ever tried hissing like a cat by expelling air through your mouth? Have a lightly opened mouth with a depressed tongue and then force air through the narrowed gap in the back of your throat. I scare the living daylights out of rats, when i see them, with that hiss. That hiss is also close to the sound needed in Si cher heits. Far easier to just sound it out for you but we dont have that option here, do we?
Tried to help.....
Mark , you're the only narrator on a documentary that I don't need to use subtitles. I find your videos are a learning experience , thank you .
Another excellent video Dr Felton thank you very much.
Lee Miller’s home in Sussex, Farley House, open to the public, is worth a visit- a few bits of Hitler’s silver are on view, presumably from her visit to his Munich apartment…
It's odd to me that the inverted dome meets the structure at the corner of a window. Great video as always, Mark!
There’s no better history channel ANYWHERE than Dr. Felton’s channel.
yes, and i'm really hoping he can lend his expertise to other conflicts too, especially both Iraq wars, which have largely been blanketed by western propaganda. we must get to the bottom of these terrible fiascos
I believe the desk at 3:08 wound up at an auction near Cleveland Ohio a few years ago, which I attended. Only brought a fraction of its estimated value.
I visited the outside of this apartment in Munich a week ago. I rang the doorbell and asked i it was possible to visit inside and was told it wasn't possible. But I was able to take a good photo of the interior stairway through the glass door. I'm surprised this video didn't show that view, as it is quite easily visible.
When I saw the title, I thought "Oh god... Now what has Mark done...?"
Thanks!
"This is one place where a little 'light trespassing' might have dire consequences for the historian."
I love Mark's gravitas and respect for his material. That makes it all the more entertaining when a nugget of humor appears.
Another great and informative video.
He is really good. He seems to have done is homework and he gives credit where it is due. I enjoy all of his shows.
Mark, so glad you are getting back to the topics no one does better than you. Great stuff. I very much enjoyed the video.
*_Yes, Mark's WWII topics are his best._*
Hello, I love your content!
I am just wondering how long you spend each day reading about these interesting times throughout history?
Thank you again for your work.
Another great story, I had never seen that photo of Lee Miller taking a bath in Adolf's bath tub. That must have been quite bizarre, wonder if he used the odd bathbomb or two.
She also reportedly slept in the bed he used during his visits.
Love how mark pronunce the Ws,,,,,,with the german V. Attention to details.
Renter: what can you tell me about the last tenant?
Real Estate Agent: I've been told not to disclose that information
Nobody is allowed to rent it and the Bavarian Land government owns the building. What Mark doesn’t mention is Chabad Lubavitch has an office opposite Hitler’s apartment on the same street where he once lived!
Tfsharing Dr. MARK
happy to watch your Informative & entertaining content.
❤
Hitler living in a flat reminds me of a truly atrocious piece of UK TV history, "Heil Honey, I'm home!" Possibly one of the worst things ever made!
These videos with your own footage are amazing.
Hi Mark. Love your work! It would be awesome if you had time and knowledge to make some videos about Finland in WW2. Especially from the swedish speaking minority of west coast of Finland. They had many heroes in WW2 in Finland. My grand father fought at Viborg but I never had the chance to meet him since he passed away 2 years before I was born. You surely know of Larry Thorne, Mannerheim and The White Death. Mannerheim actually spoke better swedish than finnish.
Felton, good job. Thanks.
It's funny how the most "hated" man in history will never cease to cause fascination and even obsession...
He's one of the most fascinating men in history, damn him. He won't go away because we won't let him.
Napoleon occupied the same place in the Victorians' imagination. Some Englishmen tried to promote the ex-Kaiser into that position, but Hitler seized it and will hold on to it for a good while.
Yet admired still by then fans, now childrens of children and others.
“funny”?
people are always going to be fascinated by the dregs of humanity - jack the ripper, henry VIII, jeffrey epstein, etc - the worst examples of humanity are endlessly fascinating, and always have been
If say Mao is the most hated man in history.
Famous photo at 2:47, but I've always wondered what the apparent mask is, on the table in the foreground: A Death mask? It's a very strange object for Hitler to have lying around 🤔
very interesting video I'm no expert on WW2 but feel I know more than kids today know. I'm subscribed to Mark Felton's channell and looking forward to his next video.
I once went to this location and pretended to ring on the doorbell, only for a policeman to pop out of the door as I was doing so. His old flat is now a police station. Incidentally, when I did that quite a few years ago, there were no obvious signs of it being a police station, unlike the signage now being shown in this video.
Tee hee. Hitler claimed to have a potion which could preserve human life for roughly a millennium. He does. He's now a professional singer. That police station employs the police from Stephen King's story Rock 'N' Roll Heaven. Take it from me: you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave. (The Eagles, Hotel California)
The large gatherers of admirers may indeed have admired Hitler, but they were mostly plainclothes bodyguards I'm sure.
The 45th Infantry Museum in Oklahoma City will surprise almost anyone, with the depth of its collections: well worth visiting.
''My name is Adolf
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes, I think you've seen me before''
My name is Geli
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before
If you hear a gunshot late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
*gun drop*
@@kayveen5853 That's definitely more in line with the original.
Heading to Munich in April. Will check it out. Thank you for the content
"But I have the feeling the Bavarian government won't be putting up any blue plaques anytime soon"...I busted out laughing at that quip. 😆 Love the Brits sense of humor 🤣
not funny
@@tube.brasil see a proctologist to get your thumb removed from your posterior.
nice historical video for sure. thank you for sharing
As a bavarian police officer I asked my colleagues if I could take a quick piss, when I was in Munich last year, in exact this Polizeiinspektion. Didn`t know about this until now! XD Thank you very much for telling me this detail! Greetings from Germany!
What was it like inside?
@@HE-162 You would not know what kind of building it was. It just looks like every other bavarian police station.
Another great video Dr Mark, really interesting thank you.
