I visit Hitler's old luxury apartment in Munich and discover how the Americans captured it in April 1945.

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.

@agentmueller Жыл бұрын

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.

@InternetDarkLord Жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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!

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 KZfaq 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.

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.

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.

@CodexArgenteus Жыл бұрын

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.

"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.

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.

When visiting the 45th infantry museum I heard a lot of them items were ship back wrapped in Hitlers clothing, which the wife’s back home throw out because they thought it was just packaging.

I’ve only just realised when you mentioned the Beer Hall Putsch that it is the 100th anniversary this year. Quite remarkable to think that this November could be argued to be the start of WWII Centenary Commemorations for lack of a better phrase.

Maybe I'll bring a cake into work, or organize a bar crawl. I don't think the Bavarian government will be giving us the day off, but we can live in hope.

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 🤔

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.....
