In February 1943, Hitler flew to the HQ of Army Group South on the Eastern Front for critical meetings. Little did he realise that Soviet tanks had broken through and were racing for the airfield where he was about to board his plane to leave.

"The term anarchist struck special fear in the hearts of those who were building the new industrial states of the late nineteenth century, for anarchists identified the centralized state itself as the enemy. For the same reason anarchism provided a banner of new hope to a generation in France that had become disillusioned with politics : first by a decade of republican repression after the Commune and then by the decision of the rival Blanquists to support the right-wing challenge to the Third Republic of General Boulanger "in the hope that it was the prelude to a great revolutionary crisis." Thus began the fateful tendency of putschist revolutionaries on the Left to see in a right wing challenge to liberal republican authority a tactically useful stage in preparing for their own social revolution. This thinking proved successful for Lenin, who was to view Kornilov's rising against Kerensky's government in September 1917 as a "gun rest" for his own revolutionary rifle. The same thinking by German Communists in 1933 was to have disastrous consequences, when Hitler was seen as a transitory Kornilov tactically useful for destroying the Weimar Republic."-James H Billington

Mark has the best channel. Unlike others, he does shitload of research. But Mark have tendency to believe Nazi Goebbels bullshiteria (like Tiger's kill ratio which isn't mathematically possible, or Wittmann destroying 77 tanks with 40 rounds of ammo, only like 15 of which got tunsten warhead ....... while his death was perfect example of being a pathetic tank commander, leading whole platoon to obvious trap). And this video is literally proof of that .... no way there was not a single tank or AT gun protecting Hitler's planned arrival. And they still had to run away with shitted pants from situation (22 T-34's) which would (according to Goebbels propaganda) be solved by any SS troop with slingshot. So, yeah. Mark Felton has the best history channel .... but sometimes you need to ignore mind-boggling Nazi propaganda Mark fails to recognize.

@thelegend27 2.0 There's a sort of running gag in the Pirates of the Caribbean series of Captain Jack Sparrow saying "You will always remember this as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow" during his over-the-top escapes. It has thus come to be referenced in any scenario where someone (usually someone the enemy really wants to get, like Hitler) makes a narrow escape.

The thing is Hitler was even useful for Soviets as the talentless warlord, especially after the Stalingrad catastrophe.
