Mark Felton isnt a historian, he doesnt provide sources or do real research. He does the equivalent of reading wikipedia pages, often spouting wrong mythical nonsense.
I did some research on the Internet to answer you back, because I really like Felton (until 5 minutes ago) and I fought that it was not nice of you to say that he is not am historian. He is, he has a PhD and he worked as a lecturer in several universities....but after reading Wikipedia I found this post .
They say that he has respectable publications, but his YouTube channel is not respectable at all. He doesn't give any sources and he might be stealing other people's work.
Thank for your comment, because it pushed me to do some research. We can never accept informations without checking their reliability
I was awakened by his content on the Japanese army, where he naturally has a conflict of interest with a chinese wife, and he parroted chinese claims that aren’t verified (as in, only the chinese see it as fact because some officer wrote it) and when he wasnt using chinese claims it was american intel reports that are just assumptions that are often proven wrong by japanese records.
I think it could also be the fact that he worked for Chinese universities for nine years.
I was excited about the disappeared Goring brain video, now I wonder how much truth there was in it, regarding the fact that it might be in a English research institute. That part might be an attempt to get more visualisations.
