Find the Führer - The Secret Soviet Investigation - Episode 5: Bone of Contention

The fate of Hitler is one of the most infamous subjects in history - but the investigation of the nation that was best placed to find out, the USSR, is often ignored or dismissed in the West. This series examines what the Soviets found, both at the bunker and Reich Chancellery, and also the medical examination of the purported bodies of Hitler and Eva Braun. Kept secret until 1968, the Soviet files reveal many strange anomalies that challenge the established story of the ultimate fates of Hitler and his wife.
In this episode, the Soviets return to Hitler's bunker and attempt to conduct a forensic investigation of the 'crime scene' to find the truth.

This has been a better investigation than anyone did in the mid-40s.
You’re killin’ it Mark! 👌

[codrrlb]

And just when you think that this was the end of the story. Mark turns around and says. "Tune in next time". He certainly know how to keep us on the edge of our seats.

It was my dad's theory that they killed themselves as reported, but were buried elsewhere, as the Nazis would never allow the bodies to fall into the hands of the Soviets. Of course, we will never know.

The orchestral stab scared the living daylights out of me, Mark! Very good series, excellent stuff❤

I have never been more excited or more intrigued for a youtube release. Thanks Dr. Felton for your hardwork. Cant wait for the next episode

[kyleissuperdupercool]

My dad walks around humming the intro to your videos now. It's a blessing and a curse.

[emanuelequilibris]

Absolute banger of a series, so hyped for part 6! This is better than every history series on the Discovery Channel.

[Andrew-vjep]

did anyone else have earbuds in during the jumpscare? i almost spilled my coffee.
good episode.

[atticus]

"In other words, where the hell were the bodies?" Made me laugh. Felton and his killer delivery.

[krisfrederick]

Dr. Felton has a bone to pick, with Hitler and history. Ace as always.

[dougearnest]

I'm reminded of the story of a man being interviewed by the city council for the position of City Manager. One councilman begins by asking "What is two plus two?" The man being interviewed rises from his chair, walks over to the window to peek outside, then closes the blinds and pulls the curtain closed. Next, he goes to the door to peek into the hallway, then closes and locks the door. After dimming the lights, he returns to the chair then leans toward the city councilman and whispers "How much do you want it to be?"

[OMG_No_Way]

I can’t get enough of this series. I’ve forwarded the playlist to quite a few people. Absolutely Incredible series, and it puts Mark in a whole different level compared to other WWII historians. Keep it up Mark. We want more. Please.

[DiveExplorer]

Masterpiece Mark... .. You are doing historical work... These things matter, even today.

[HeisenbergFam]

Crazy to think 78 years later and Austrian Painter's exact fate is still questionable

[christopherchilders]

Dr. Mark is by far the best source of ww2 information

[benitoharrycollmann]

I don't know if the Soviets ever found Hitler with any certainty, but finding your channel was one of my greatest discoveries. Thanks for another educational and entertaining video, Dr. Felton!

[Velton_]

I’m from very small town in the middle of amazon forrest in Brazil. I’m so anxious for the next episode that Dr. Felton has been bringing us such masterpiece investigation

[costrio]

So many details have been hidden from the general public over the decades.
Some of this is very new to me. Thank you.
