- The Maybach I and II built during WW2 in Zossen Germany, was the most iconic Bunkers ever constructed, enormous structures built for the German High Command and made to look like regular houses.
One of the complexes was supposed all but destroyed post war and scrapped for the metal. I found that not to be the case, and I had to find this site hiding in an old overgrown Russian Base.
I found a few other surprises, but after last time I wanted to explore and take you with me.
You may want to watch the episode on Maybach from last year and my short on Winkelturm too - you will see why:-) - Zábava
My son is getting his masters in History and let me tell you that we truly appreciate your videos every time we watch them!
Hopefully they taught him the correct history...
Our educational institutions are a joke.
Tell him HIS story isnt our story and PLEASE keep an open mind. HIS story is just one perception, the perception of the winners... I'm sick of seeing people go off to college, get a piece of paper that says they are smart, then mock anything else that goes against their systematic indoctrination...
@@mikehunt8375 projecting much bro?
@@mikehunt8375 definitely looks at history from all angles. Never believe one point of view!!!
@@vasili1207 I have taught him to never take anything at face value... always question what people say and always listen to opposing views in order to build your own understanding.
Hard to believe but that would have been a perfectly acceptable playground for kids in the 70's-80's. Ah the good old times.
Absolutely staggering the amount of concrete the Germans used!
Megalithic concrete.. 😋
The concrete wasn't the problem, constructional steel did be *. . .*
Yeah I mean it's almost as if the Nazis had some sort of camp where they'd concentrate on stuff...
Thank you, Tino, for bringing this excellent series to us. Your hard work and dedication shows in each episode. This is what should be on the “historical” network TV channels. Thank you for taking us along on your adventures.
Thank you Tino ! It's Memorial day so it's a perfect time to watch !
Thanks for making this available for public viewing. Amazing historical place. I couldn't help myself not taking "souvenirs" even it it was only bits of concrete, brick or wiring.
There was a book written by Hans George Kampe in 1996. Published by Schaffer Publishing Ltd. The title is The Underground Military Command Bunkers of Zossen, Germany.
Nice one Tino. Thanks for posting.
As usual fascinating video. What a shame so much was destroyed after the war-also during, but that's another thing.
Truly enjoyed this adventure. I like how you get into your videos for us. I felt like i was truly exploring with you. Thank you
I hate seeing history destroyed like that, but its really cool to see what's left of it. Thanks Tino.
Another great record thanks for showing us this side its just WOW cant wait to see another new video again Tino thanks for all the great videos we learn alot thanks to you
Thanks for all the hard work and videos!
Ur way better than any tv show or history channel
And I'm almost lifelike thank you so much for saying so I do try
Glad you got there finally.
You the man Tino, keeping it real, TRUTH!
Happy Memorial Day. Perfect video for today.
Fantastic Tino, more please.
Being inside the crooked buildings reminds me of a Bond movie. The Maybach complex really was the villain's lair.
Fascinating. You do such a tremendous job. BRAVO!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
TY for all your hard work and content contributions
Thank you, Tino for your videos. I find this history fascinating, and I agree with your laments on the destruction of this history. I feel a deep sorrow for the lives lost making this history. I am not concerned about the ideologies of the deceased warriors, they cannot spread them any more. The men do, however, deserve to be remembered for their sacrifices.
Thanks Tino for another amazing film....I think this should be titled the Yes film!
Great stuff as usual, thank you very much.
Great video as always! I would love to be able explore places like this.
Trees were braced when young to produce the curves needed in shipbuilding back in the day, the end product is like that exactly. The forest in West pomeranina Poland that you speak of was supposedly done to harvest for boat and furniture building.
We have some back home so I researched the heck out of them 👍
Artificial ley lines.
Turn on: tree grows to an angle.
Turn off: tree grows straight up.
By these kind of trees and the bent I guess they operated "stuff" there for couple or 3 decades. My guess from the trees ageing, from late 70's to early 90's at least.
Absolutely riveted by the Maybach exploration, frustrated that you could not access the underground tunnels,but you will return with i,m sure. Like Captain Kirk you boldly go where others fear to tread.
dont worry one of my friends will show me next week, Ill get into the tunnels:-)
this is FANTASTIC ty so much for sharing it
Thank you Tino, interesting 👍
Truly fascinating Tino thanks for taking the too document and show us I new to channel so I got a lot of catching up to do. Thanks
Thank you for taking the time to record your exploration of these structures and making this interesting and informative video for us Tino Struckmann.
That looks like a dream place to visit and all matey
Yes, it does dunnit, blokkies.......
Such a tragedy these places were needlessly destroyed.
Be it for vanity, closure, or for "progress"... erasing history only makes it easier for someone to repeat it.
Thanks for sharing these amazing places with the rest of us WW2 history nuts!
They weren't needlessly destroyed. They've been 'slighted' for the exactly the same reason as the castles of the United Kingdom. In this condition they can never be used for their intended purpose.
Another fascinating video, many thanks. "Safety First" is not an overstated term, I'm glad you aren't taking extreme risks on your own. You mention having a rope, you may also find an "etrier climbing ladder" to be useful in some situations - available at any proper climbing store. Pre-slung into a hole, it would provide an easy retreat without use of ascenders. Happy travels.
Glad you enjoyed it well I got older I guess lol
Nice finds really enjoyed the sites you have discovered well done
Glad you enjoyed I am only just beginning
Excellent videos.
That square thing is a high voltage paper in oil capacitor (Soviet made) ;-)
Tino as always a Very informative look into the past. I agree with you that it is a shame the destruction of these significant structures be they for good or bad is so wrong.
I dream of a time that you or those like you find an undisturbed WW2 Structure that can be explored for the first time.
Thank you for all you do for us
Well I found a few that the authorities absolutely will not let us open or dig into... that is when the process begins..
@@tinostruckmann Do it without permission. This isn't even a Straftat but only a Ordnungswidrigkeit. I found one before and also did it. Let those Idiots know that people don't care for their beloved culture of saying no to everything but paying taxes. Germany is a joke anyways.
Thank you for the adventures Tino. The stack looks very much like flares we used in refining, the height is probably to keep whatever they were incinerating, which probably was very nasty above the ground level as much as possible, the pipes would be for gas to light the waste at the tip and then probably steam to quench it if it got to out of hand, also some electrical which would light the flare head back up if it were to go out. Gives me the creeps, be careful dude!
My best guess re bendy trees is they grew on concrete or rubble. While the sapling was smaller it leaned drastically yet didn't fall over. As the tree grew stronger it righted itself but foliage over corrected the weight but never fell.
Found your website by accident. I’ve subscribed and are looking forward to future videos.
I'm @ 42:45 and suddenly thought of the Blair Witch Project. Suddenly Tino's camera goes whirling around, video goes snowy fuzzy and then cuts off and we never see Tino again. Years later, new explorers discover Tino's camera and we see his last footage.
Lol well I'm on the road filming these live like walkthroughs are the best I can do until I get back home and can actually edit proper episodes beside disappear in a mountains somewhere... there's some weird stuff out here I'm telling you
@ 1.14, it is (was) most likely a high voltage capacitor, used for storing a electrical charge for a short period of time.
Great vid asalways matey I'm just watching ure vid about the juterbog museum on the TV way bigger than my phone lol
Keep it up matey
Sad too see so much of it derstroyed... Regardless of why it is there, it's still history too be learned from.
In Europe we can't keep everything, tThat would be much too much *. . .*
Found where Bunker 1 area is on google maps. I think I see where you might be. That area is huge! Google maps took the picture in the summer so much is under the trees to the east of the museum and the Zeppelin bunker. Thanks for the video!
South of Maybach 1 is a large solar array. Maybach 2 is in the woods west of the array. If you use google earth pro, you can view previous images in time. Trees are smaller & some in winter.
Tino, Why would the Russian army blow up the buildings that they had control of? Wouldn't it make more sense to repurpose them for their own needs ? Seems like a waste of resources? Much thanks and respect for all your hard work Tino, from upstate NY! USA
I believe it was because of the Allied Control Council's Directive Nr 22 that ordered the demining and removal of German fortifications, and possibly when they pulled back to Russia after the Cold War.
@@AFatalPapercut ah, yes. This makes sense. Thank you !
@@danielr5637 Uhh no. It was the Germans themselves. To prevent the advancing Soviet Army from using them.
It looks to me like a lot of that was just buried with the garbage already present after 1991. Would be worth digging into the piles near doorways or down through holes in floors. (Edit) - also there will be sink holes that develop where water flows down through crevices into underground caves or your case maybe tunnels
Respect to my Dane cousin from an old Irish Celt for such a well researched ahow !
Hey Tino....I believe the "Bent Trees" that you find fascinating are as a result of Radiation exposure ....😉
Hi Tino. Wery intresting Great jobb. 👍🏻
Gretings from sweden 😉
Thax. Liked it alot. If you see old tyers. There are dates on them. Glimps of when stuff happend there
Pretty much of the old tires are post war, it is becoming an internal joke that at every bunker I always find a tire...
@@tinostruckmann jip. Herd that. Onley resentley start following your videos. From South Africa
Dammit is definitely your favorite word . Lol ! You should make sketches of the building locations so you and others know where they are .
That's a old oil filled HV capacitor with the ceramic insulator's.
Used with generators as surge protectors?
@@xiamaramu1538 Phase angle / current lead / lag correction for motors. Whatever it was fitted to it was serious!
Great video, first time I’ve seen one of yours, amazing. Wish we could get those Russian Signs’s translated
Oh I am sure that might happen here organically:-)
Awesome video! Guess I was wrong. Turned out that it wasn't the long lost space ship of Flash Gordon. My bad! Keep exploring, you might find it yet. In the meantime a big thankyou for sharing history with us!
It is amazing how the Germans were able to mix so much concrete in so little time and have the engineers, equipment and manpower with all the hugh buildings and structures.
I don’t know this for sure. I would guess slave labor was probably used. It’s just a guess. However, that was par for the course during this time period. Be safe.
Tino, At Exactly 1-hour 15 minutes what you're looking at is an earth box transistor cables would go into the ceramics and the box would be fastened to the ground. I do believe it's a mains transistor? I definitely believe it has something to do with power conduct
This is amazing once again Tino had been wanting a long time to see this. Congratulations once again on a masterpiece of history explained with the locations as of today! These no-one else shows ever.
At 1:33:13 that is a building for decontamination, NBC, with the pass through bath for equipment by the looks as well as the easily washdown tiled walls.
So what's upstairs?
I knew it!
TINO ROCKING HISTORY IN THE GARAGE... THANK YOU TO ALL WHOM HAVE PAID IN BLOOD FOR THEIR COUNTRIES!!!
Think you need to start carrying a small Geiger counter. The consistent deformation of the saplings may be due to a outside influence that is time dependent. Radiation. Poison gas. The trunk shows before, during then after the influence was present. Thanks for all you do.
All those old Military Jackets . . . I was waiting for you to pick one up and there'd be a partial Skeleton inside it . Lol .
Tino is more of a Man than Chuck Norris, BearGrills and Steve Irwin put together. Love his vids! U r a legend mate
hmm sounds like I should then get paid more lmao:-) Thank you brother
Sad that so much history was blown up. Then again, so much in the USA was just allowed to rot away, when it wasn't bulldosed.
Looks like a telecommunication array tower. Maybe for Warsaw, Berlin or maybe even Moscow if it was a Soviet base. But it sure looks to be of similar construction of the one that was built in East Berlin in the late 60's early 70's with the metal panels that formed a sphere called Fernsehturm. As smoke stacks do not usually have catwalks like this tower has those are usually built only on telecommunication type towers be it radio, TV, or satellite.
Yesss. I love it. But still. Cant wait for the henge and riese videos.
Sharp curves in tree trunks are usually the result of catastrophic events, but snow/ice pressure may cause trees to bow with gentle curves. A tree that grows crooked will remain crooked. When you plant a new tree, the root system takes time to spread and attach to the soil in which it is planted. ...
Trees bend in catastrophic events, but nature can also by ice/snow or soil, but I would put it down to explosive force, much greater than small TNT. Nature has a way of giving you signs. I believe the electrical box you found to be a capacitor,. Great vid Tino
That is pretty much what I thought would have caused it. what is interesting is that I have found similar trees in places where there should have been no explosions more to come
To me it looks like a power transformer that you may see on the outside of buildings or on telegraph type poles
@115.40, that's part of a transistor for the power cable's to power up everything
Magnífico aporte histórico. Gracias!
Desde, Tegucigalpa 🇭🇳
"Double tub" is really just a washing trough that sheets could be washed more easily than in smaller tubs.
Correct in assuming the bldg was an infirmary of some kind with an OR.
Decontamination front room.
But what kind of contaminants.
Decontamination?
No just a laundry across the hall from a little OR.
As always, I very much enjoy your presentations. Some day, perhaps some maps of these various areas that you explore could be made so the those of us ignorant of where there locations are would have a better idea. All these Russian installations tell me that it is probably in the former Eastern Germany, but where is a mystery to me.
I do upload maps used to the website, and also in future Ill add gps in the text, and I am working on an interactive map to publish
@@tinostruckmann T
Thank you. I attempt to locate these various places using commercial satellite imagery and event google maps (google is almost useless), but it is not always determinable. Maybe it is my old eyes. Again thank you.
I believe the boulders in the concrete of the lowest level was so if a bomb slid down the sides and detonated on the ground it would not blast through the wall.
Tino, Great explorers video!!! I hate to tell you though, you need more on hands help, as you didn’t know that already Lol!
Just discovered your channel this week, so catching up on episodes. This was a cool explore.
The Soviets were messy with their installations. No surprise to see all that crap dumped into the ruins. As for the ever-present tires....they are hard to get rid of properly (at least in the US), so folks find places to dump them without having to go through the BS. ANY abandon building gets crap tossed into it. Farmers typically have an old shed for stuff they may need again (but don't) and a corner of a field where they dump stuff.
The uniform pieces make me wonder though. Why were those dumped randomly around?
I'm welcome to the party I would suggest you go back to the beginning of those which are series and watching them forward from there it will make more sense:-)
How many bunker complexes are still unfound? Could there be a bunker somewhere that still has equipment from WW2 in it?
Yes there could, very easily
These hollow concrete slabs (with round holes going longways) are floor slabs - the holes are to lighten the structure. Typical post-war precast concrete construction.
are you sure they are post war? I see them in a lot of ww2 construction too
@@tinostruckmann, OK, They may be from WW2 but they look like typical floor precast slabs used to this day and I wouldn't associate the holes with any services. They might be used as such occasionally (as a "side use"), but most likely they were designed to lower the weight of the slabs.
"they must have used quite a lot of explosives" appears to be a sentence that comes pretty often in these visits...
At 20:26. It looks to me like a ammo crate that carried mortars Correct me if I am wrong. But thats what it looks like to me. Great video as always my brother from another mother.
That box like space thing with the tubes on the bottom of it near the engine bloke is a air filter box used on T55 tanks and such like.
What you found at 1:15:25 looks like a high voltage capacator . There added to a high voltage line to corect power factor. Like if you have a lot of indunce on a line . I know a lot of Europe is 50 hz ( 60hz hear in the US) today . Dont know what freq they used when that cap was in use .
You found the vinklethourn that’s amazing holly god damn I am over zealous
Could someone please tell me what that is? I can't find a reference to it with any spelling variation. Thanks in advance.
Tino are you going to get the architect and engineer involved in your de Reiser mini-series to help you understand the structures that you come across and uncover hidden things?
I think that at 1:15:30 it's a field relay box for communications. The ceramics are insulators.
What you really need are little drones. Some Arduino/Raspberry lessons, a bit of (hard) suffering with AI, mechanics probably ain't gonna be such a pain and voila! Every hole belongs to you.
You mean this metaphorically I presume.
@@Kobayashhi you would need fkin darpa to explore this place. I bet it's huge underground.
Have you ever tried going through the installations on the Guernsey Islands? I have seen some footage: HOWEVER, it seems the UK are a bit touchy about it. Apparently, don't like giving people the idea they "fotgot" about those folks during the war that were British citizens.
Please keep up the excellent work.
Thanks.
I hear that story a lot, I am hoping to get there when I am finished here in the East - but there is so much to film:-) Ill get to it, especially since one of them is for sale
Your Russian "Mine" looks like a primus stove to me, but hey what do I know. Great video thanks
Question/ story idea. Have you heard of ryes plates? A ww2 british system of mass produced plates.that bolt together and can make o posts, bunkers because they make octogons that filled with dirt provide protection from shelling. If you talk about them could you link or tell the detentions? Thankyou
I have a vague recollection of those, and I am hoping to go to England and document a few castles also so if I can find one I will
So we have weird trees like that in the US. Ours were from Native Americans and early settlers. I believe they're called something like Guide Trees. As saplings someone would cut off the main trunk leaving a branch growing out of the side in the direction they would like to travel. Usually leading to a other tree and so on until they reach another tribe or what not. And as those trees grow, that branch would then try growing straight up causing the bend.
Now this is just one explanation to this and seems to be the most agreed upon.
0:21 "question of the day" My guess, the spacing for the two porcelain high-voltage insulators would indicate to me a 600 ohm antenna matching transformer.
Your channel is very interesting, i love your dedication! Just a question, I did not know that you are a actor as well until I by chance saw one of your movies, rose of Normandie or something. How many movies did you do?
Follow the link to his website on his channel here, under the about section.
Interresting and educational. A question in my head: Wy, and for what? Puzzle the pieses into one major project, maybe?
You may need to clarify the question a little:-)
object at 117.00 is a filtering capacitor used in power supplies
The answer to the question of the day is.... A power transformer. That was most likely a step down transformer to convert the 380 volt carrier to 240 volt for use at the point where it was used.
This is what a fallen civilization looks like to alien visitors upon landing. It’ll only get worse .
Exactly.
Great.
Now Tino , These are truly the locations time forgot. I don't see anyone on CZcams but you Tino bringing them into the present . JUST SHORT OF 2 HOURS OF PURE GROUND INVESTIGATING and loving it .thank you bro! ..Tino at his very best? I think when I watch your work of just how much explosives must have been used to in order to bring down German super structures.
German superstructures is exactly what they are, I wish I could have been there in there hay day.. Just blows ones mind (pardon the pun) of the levels is must have took to build them and also for Stalin's Thugs, sorry? (Communist army) to bring them down or like i said, to try?
I remember a time when discovery channel had content that was 20% as good as this.
