When I was growing up I would watch the history channel and nothing else for years. ... then their programming shifted away from this type of historical informative programming. I mourned the loss of my bastion of niche learning. But your content now fills that void that history channel left! Thank you for your work.

It is not hyperbole to suggest that, in terms of consistency of quality, this is the best channel on YouTube.

A Polish Home Army officer Kazimierz Moczarski, persecuted after the war by the Stalinist government, spent months in one prison cell with Jürgen Stroop. He later wrote a fascinating book about this bizarre experience, the English title of which is Conversations with an Executioner.

They were one brave group of people that fought the Nazis knowing they had no chance of winning but wanted to go down fighting . RIP to them all.

"Before placing the telephone in its cradle..." How lovely mr Mark Felton takes into account that people too young to remember might not know what "hanging up (the telephone)" means. Well done, professor Felton !!

[williammiller]

Mark’s ability to communicate is unparalleled, his choice of words paints a clear picture in your mind.

[Palipilap]

Any videos about the Warsaw ghetto always make me so depressed.

They were so brave, so desperate, and continued fighting the long odds despite all their supposed allies betraying their trust.

The Warsaw Ghetto fighters stared death in the eye unblinking until it took them.

[aryehyehudahajzenberg]

As a Jew, of Polish origin, who had relatives that died in Nazi Europe I can only say that the quality of your videos, the historical accuracy, and the unbiased unpolitical analysis you make is simply extraordinary !
May God bless you and the whole of your family forever !

I have been a fan and student of WWII history for over 20 years, read and watched nearly everything I could get my hands on, and Mark Felton is, by far, my favorite historian and, in my opinion, the highest quality historian.

[costaroumeliotis]

One of the most heroic and desperate acts of the war.... thank you for discussing it

[sh.lslate]

Rosa Robota was my grandmother’s aunt. Amazing docufilm. Thank you

[iraliegenberg]

I wish Mark was my teacher when I was in school. Better late than never.

[zbigniewkozlowski]

J m from Poland vividly remember how the cities were converted into oceans of ruins As a kid, same like my friends, parents, the whole society I took a part in rebuilding struggle Newer ever any war of any kind anywhere no gain just pure suffering and destructions Greetings to Mark from Canada

[mattcalder]

Crikey, those 17 mins went quick, thanks Dr Felton for showing me insight into this unknown part of the Warsaw Ghettos

Thanks for the likes, never had this many before

[Bob-tqjv]

The brave resistance fighters proved that they wouldn't go without a fight. May they rest in peace.

[nomdeplume]

I've developed a habit of hitting the like button before I've actually watched Mark's videos such is the quality of content.

[jayfelsberg]

Thank you for realizing there was more than one Warsaw uprising, and in far more hopeless conditions than 1944. Courage personified

[manatarms]

They knew that they were going to be crushed but they rose up anyway. Great video Mark 👍

[tinkmarshino]

Fabulous Mark.. you tell a great historical story.. this one is one that should never be forgotten.. But our enemy's always will.. But we will never go quietly into the night!

Always sell your life dear, never for free. When the Grim Reaper shows up at your door, don't be standing there with your suitcases; have the whole building wired with explosives and be waiting in the basement with a rifle. Many timeless lessons to be learned from the hopeless Warsaw rebellions (both of them).
