Göring the Peacemaker? The Secret 1939 Plot

In late 1939, a secret attempt was made by Hermann Göring to make peace between Germany and Britain. It involved the very highest echelons of the British government and a host of shadowy intelligence officers of several nations.

Once again, we realize just how complicated the whole story of this war is, and how many facts could have turned out differently.
Thank you, Dr. Felton!

Because of this channel, I became a history major.

Anyone else wish Dr. Felton would just make a 10 hour long WW2 documentary? 😂

[RadicalDreamer]

Dr. Felton….. i hope you never stop
doing what you’re doing, you’re an absolute gem to people who love history.

[HeisenbergFam]

Glad Dr. Mark still has fun doing YT after 5 years, its a vibe to listen to more WW2 lore

[dougearnest]

It's interesting to think about how well-regarded Göring - the aristocratic WW1 flying ace - might be today had he deposed Hitler and made peace with the Western Allies at just the right time in history.

Absolutely incredible that this plot remained secret for so long. There must be several embarrassing details involving high ranking British officials.

[cosmicdisaster]

Please never ever change the intro! It gets me jamming everytime😂

[jimhoffmann]

Bravo! I never heard of this before, Dr. Felton.

Rudolf Hess's flight to the UK was a peace mission in my opinion. I would love for Dr. Felton to do a video on this. Lots of information on this out there.

[peterstephens]

The peace negotiations at this time are the elephants in the room about WW2 .This is a rich and fascinating seam of history to mine into Mark. All the best and thank you for your hard work 😊😊😊

I've read a lot of WWII books and watched a bunch of WWII videos and I've never heard about this. This is mind-blowing!

[mwheeler]

Just in the past 2 - 3 weeks of watching this channel ive learned so much. There are books and articles that Im now looking into to expand my knowledge on the topics I've found here. THIS is what History Channel used to be.

Naturally the common people don't want war . . . but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or parliament or a communist dictatorship. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.

-Hermann Goring

Very true words that americans should listen to.

[Penekamp]

Your videos are always informative, concise, and succinct, unlike so many YouTube videos that drone on and on.

[eziio]

Always a good day when Lord Felton uploads

[catherine]

You have a stunning channel! You put an incredible amount of work and research into each video. Thank you.

[watchesandcoins.]

Goering is by far one of WW2s most wild card and open ended figures.

[theblissfulinterzone]

As a history major, these marvelous videos show me that WW2 had so many deeper and fascinating layers to its narrative that school textbooks and the history channel skip over to focus on the larger, more commonly known events. Thanks, Dr. Felton

Wherever there's appeasement, Lord Halifax is never far away
