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

[Elektrolurch]

as a German, I would like to praise Mark for making an extraordinary effort to pronounce the names correctly.
most creators don’t go this extra mile.

The fact he kept a moustache like Hitler's says he played right into it....

Of course Hitler had a son.
He had loads of them.
They all work here in the UK as parking wardens.

Whenever I have a miserable day, five minutes of hearing Mark Felton and my misery goes away. A war story a day keeps my boredom away. Thanks Mark for sharing.

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 remarkable resemblance in the facial structure and general appearance. I remember my dad talking of this as a youngster.

Mark Felton - Providing more facts about history than any history teacher

[redjirachi]

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

[gildardorivasvalles]

I have to say, the physical resemblance between the two is uncanny.

I'm just saying, a thousand views in 3 minutes after posting. Dr Felton is the best History Professor on YouTube

[peterfitzgerald]

Mark, I have learnt more from your videos, than I have reading books in the last forty years. an indispensable resource as always .many thanks .

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.

[nancysloan]

Thank you Mark for your videos. Since my Dad trapsed throughout Europe as a Sergeant in WWII I am interested in this period of history.

[ckbowdp]

Remember when The History Channel had stuff like this? Glad we have Dr. Felton!

[UkraineJames]

Hearing about Hitler's romantic life makes me feel like I'm reading some weird fanfiction or something.

[martimcshy]

Holy cow man, I’m hooked on your videos. You are absolutely brilliant and your delivery of the information is quite remarkable

[irish]

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!

[Flamex]

Another extremely insightful analysis Professor Felton. I think I speak for all of us when I say: thank you.
