Actually only 15 of the 16 people were followers of Hitler. One of them, Karl Kuhn worked at a Coffeehouse close to the Feldherrenhalle. (It still exists to this day, cslled TAMBOSI) He only wanted to see what was going on and got hit by a stray bullet. But since the Nazis were obsessed with symmetry 16 was a much better number of deceased to honour than 15. Great video thank you so much.

Several rubble piles existed in Munich into the late 1970s. As a kid visiting relates, we would ask permission after dinner to go over to the fields until about 9PM. I remember going out walking around the desolate masonry strewn land. It was sort of a semi used industrial park of several work companies. Several tons of masonry concrete chunks were pushed into ravine areas but it was too dangerous to go down as it was very loose and it could landslide over the top of you. The most significant moment for me was peering down into the ravine and I noticed a very large round metal disk sticking out halfway of the overburden . It was either a teller mine or top of an old lamp post shade. Never went down to get a closer look.

Relating to the Feldherrnhalle Memorial and the requirement to give the Hitler Salute every time anyone passed it, many citizens of Munich resented this and used a short cut through an alleyway behind the monument which became known as "Shirker's Alley". If you visit Munich today the alleyway is still there and is marked along its length by a commemorative brass strip in recognition of this act of passive resistance.

This left me wondering what kind of monument Hitler intended for himself and where it was to be located. Was it to resemble Napoleon’s tomb at Les Invalides? Was it to be located in Berlin or Munich or Nuremberg or perhaps his birthplace? Was his monument already designed? By Speer or someone else perhaps?

We went to Berlin in 2006. It was mind boggling on so many levels. Just the staggering amount of history and what took place there was very, very hard to grasp at times. One part was of the left with all the bullet holes and burnt out buildings. Other parts with new ultra modern buildings. Check Point Charlie Was there. Parts of the wall. We drove past where Hitlers Bunker was. At the time, a chain link was all that separated us from it. Everyone who can needs to see it. Then go stand on the beaches of Normandy. Then go up to the cemetery that's above it. It's not a fun filled vacation... Thank you as always Professor for keeping all this in perspective and alive in the minds of people who still care.

He participated in some black market activities, and the funniest story was about the Lucky Strike carton and a 2x4 that fit perfectly inside. He sold it across town to some German guy. I wonder how many times that carton of "cigarettes" changed hands. He was privy to the scheduled red/blue money changers. He had a German girlfriend there.

Having visited Munich for a few weeks with work fifteen years or so ago, there is the very strange feeling when you walk around that you are as close as it's possible to get to the centre of the Nazi world. The Feldherrnhalle still stands and the surrounding Odeonsplatz remains fairly unchanged, and the Königsplatz, if squinted at, remains virtually the same canvas that the massed ranks of Nazis stood to attention, or burned book, ons. During one pleasant morning stroll one weekend, I happened upon the Ehrentempel site, which as the documentary states, is a nature reserve and doesn't call attention to itself. In it's way and with the passage of time, the ruins are a metaphor for the stain of Nazism on Munich and the wider Germany. Expunged, but not eradicated. Extant but not acknowledged. Unloved, unhonoured, and almost, almost, unseen.

@stefanh7243 8 месяцев назад

I was born in Munich and grew up there. Königsplatz and Odeonsplatz and Feldherrnhalle were built by the Bavarian kings. The Nazi buildings were only "additions". I stumbled across the "Ehrenhalle" as a teenager and wanted to know what was there. In general, some buildings were still destroyed at that time, such as the Army Museum, which now houses the Bavarian State Chancellery. I asked a lot, but the others didn't want to know anything. Many have no idea that, for example, the Haus der Kunst was also a Nazi building and housed an important part in the propaganda exhibition "Degenerate Art". You can stumble upon a great many places if you know where they are and understand history. But this is obviously not wanted ...

Congratulations on spelling _Ark_ correctly. The number of people who call it the *_Arc_* _of the Covenant_ is just amazing. Maybe they are referring to a storyline in the movie, or the electric discharge that destroyed the lights and generator and went through the nazi soldiers, or the curve of the trajectory taken by the lid before it crashed down again?

@hansdietrich83 3 года назад

It's so weird to hear someone talk about your home city as if it was some mysterious place from a Indiana Jones Movies. It's also quite wierd to think that I have been compleatly wasted on yearly Student parties on the Königsplatz, whereas other people (from other countries) think of it as the birthplace and the center of the Nazi Regime. The Munich inner city around the Universities is incredibly rich in history and I can only reccoment a visit

@Redmenace96 9 месяцев назад

It is not, "either, or". It most definitely was a birthplace of NSDP. It most definitely is a good place to party and puke. Don't worry, educated people know Munich had a long, glorious history before Adolf.... and can now have a wonderful and bright future, after Adolf. Nobody thinks it is Munchen's fault.(oooof. just remembered the PLO killing the Jews. my point still stands.)

Beautiful city though and lovely to visit. So today I learnt what happened to those sarcophagi after the war and how the temples were destroyed. Never knew this but always wondered. Thanks Mark Felton, another great and highly educational video!

One of the highlights of my week is receiving a message announcing the arrival of a new Mark Felton video, a treat I look forward to enjoying at the end of the day, when my work is done. It's the same feeling I got as a kid growing up in Iceland - when Santa would leave us a treat in our shoes we left on bedrown window sill (you rarely see these large window sills (on which Europeans place potted plants, knickknacks - and shoes) in the US) during the month of December. But first you had to sleep through the night. And Dr. Felton never delivers a raw potato (or a piece of coal)!
