So well preserved. Full of history. I can really visualize the operation. Also, helps me get an idea of those, like my family, that lived in bunkers after the war. Thank you WW2HH and Eagle Eyes.
Great place Kurt and very glad you came along :) Thanks
Families lived in these bunkers after the war? Wow
once the round is ready on the table, you roll it into the back with the pull handle as you showed. they then closed the shutter and cranked the other handle to lift the shell up to the gun pit above. the reason that there is more than one shell lift per gun position is because of the time it takes to put a shell together compared to how fast the gun could be fired. I am sure in your next video, you will show where the shells came up in the sides of the gun pit.
Thanks for comment and for watching.
@@WW2HistoryHunter NICCCCCCCCCE thanks
What another grand adventure! I could almost hear the hydraulics when Eagle Eyes pushed the lever up and down! So cool! You could almost hear the Germans walking and talking in the other rooms. Incredible! Thank you so much for taking me along! 💖💖💯
So cool and thanks Julie. I agree EE has some pretty cool sounds to share :) Greetings and be safe.
Fantastic installation. It is sad the images were painted over. Tell E Eyes I like his sound effects 😁
We will show you even great stuff soon :) Thanks
I like E.E.’s sound effects 😄. It’s crazy how well preserved everything is inside this bunker! I hope it stays put together and untouched for many years for you both to enjoy!
I hope so too and thanks.
This place is so amazing. Can't believe all the things that have been left behind and not stripped out like other bunkers. Can't wait for part 3. Thank you and EE.
Thanks a lot Allen :)
Currently 24 and been watching since I was 19. Really got my dads love for history ! Keep it up !
Wow that is so great to read my friend and we share history together :)
In Denmark at the vestcoast there a gun installation on the Hill over the city Hanstholm- during the ww2 the germans build a 4 turreted bunker complex with the 38mm gun coming from krupp- one of bunkers is made to house a museum - the Hanstholm area is filled with bunkers , around 300 installations lays scattered in the area , come visit it its great
Thanks for comment and for watching.
Hi from Syracuse NY USA brother and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures and your family
Thank you Earl :)
Rochester! High five my fellow I-90 compatriot!
Your enthusiasm during these explorations is great to watch.
Thank you for that.
Great video my friend!! So awesome to see, what a Historical time capsule!!! Thanks for taking us along!! Keep up the great work! 😁
Thanks for watching
That was really cool, to see all of that! Thank you for taking us along.
I really hope the owner of that bunker appreciates what they have and they are going to restore it, or at least not demolish it.
I guess only time will tell and i hope it will pe preserved yes. Thanks for your great support.
When we read about this time in the history books, it seemed very distant and from another world. Watching your video makes it seem eerily real and recent. I hope the world learns the important lessons that history teaches us. Excellent video! Cheers from New England! Keep up the good work and let us never forget. Subscribed!
Great to read my friend and greetings from us.
Amazing condition, if that was in the UK it would have been robbed out and vandalised many years ago, your explores and videos are fantastic, would love to visit some of your finds, keep up the good work
Thanks Steven :)
100% FASCINATING!!
Unbelievable footage & narration. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it
Unbelievable finds! Armored doors and fittings to this extent STILL IN SITU is virtually impossible to find. The scrapmen and souvenir hunters were normally very thorough after the war. Thanks to you and sidekick Eagle Eyes for sharing this incredible emplacement with us!
Thanks for watching.
When you found this bunker, you must have felt like a 10 year old kid on Christmas morning. I can't wait for part 3.
I did and will probably do for as long as i live :) Thanks Jeff.
Great video of preserved history
Thank youHH,at 55 years old seeing footage like this takes me right back to growing up in the Channel Islands , digging in to amazing architecture like this and just walking round installations in awe of the power that once was. As always great upload my friend🙏🏻👍🏻
Great to read and thanks Simon
I heard there is a bunker being sold on one of the islands.
Maybe you don't know:
At 16:20:
The blue symbol on the left is a powder load in a cardboard tube. Covered with fabric. The summons. (German: Vorladung)
The "semicircle" on the left of the sign is the place for the salt deposit (German: Salzvorlage), which should darken the muzzle flash at night.
The yellow / gold on the right is the brass case. The main charge with detonator (German: Hauptladung). These were later refilled.
Thanks for feedback and for watching.
Absolutely astonishing to see something that old still intact……great job!!!!!!!
Thanks Jerry
When you think there are only so many bunkers to record and explore, the WW2 History Hunters, as always, push the boundaries of what is still out there to be discovered. I would happily pay for discovery plus, if it had WW2 History Hunters season 1. Keep it up my friend, the children and myself love your work bud.👍
Will do our very best and with peoples great support we can :) thanks.
I’m always amazed at the quality of the German bunkers and gun emplacements. They definitely built stuff to last.
They sure tried their very best yes. Thanks.
Absolutely astonishing, what a great explore. That bunker is magnificent. Such preservation after 75 plus years. This is one of my favourite explores you have done. Thank you.
Thanks Clay :)
It's so nice to see history that has not been destroyed to be able to go back in time and see what it was like there.
Thanks James :)
Wow, a true time capsule. Well done for bringing this to us and preserving it on film.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hello from France 🎬toujours un plaisir 👍🍷
Thank you Alex :)
Oh my!!!! This footage is AMAZING and your tour you gave us was so incredible! THANK YOU! Living in the US, I can only dream of visiting Europe some day to tour places like this! But as you mentioned- there aren't many like this place left. Very sad! Im grateful for people like you who take the time to share your experiences with the rest of us! Absolutely outstanding 👏
Very glad we can share with you my friend and appreciate you being here.
Is was nice to see that the bunker wasn't vandalized like so many others were.
I agree and thanks.
This place looks so cool and your boys sound effects are great thank you for taking us along
He he , well there you go and thanks.
Wow, incredible gun position. Thank you for sharing.
Greatly appreciate your support my friend.
Great video WW2HH - love your videos, especially these ones where nobody has been inside for decades. This bunker is huge - hope it stays preserved like this ..
I hope so too
Eagle eyes sound effects was great!! You could tell he was into it! Thanks again to you both and be safe!
Thanks, you too!
No echos this time. Anyway this was a great video. It always blows my mind how complex these bunkers can be!
I agree impressive structures. Thanks.
I really enjoyed this part 2 of the gun placement. Seeing the hoists and the racks where the huge rounds were placed before going further. Fascinating to see that the parts still work and so interesting to learn that it was part of safety precautions. The massive room with all the thick cables speaks of the complexity and detail of the location. Greats find in the 1943 bottle bottom. Thanks for sharing this exciting location, can't wait for part 3 because I suspect something very interesting to do with ..... not going to spoil your surprise! I also have a huge smile, thanks for taking us right into places used over 70 years ago. Happy for you and Eagle Eyes that you could experience it. Kind regards to all.
Very glad to have you coming along Beverley and thank sfor that :)
Thankyou for taking us along ,very cool !!!
Glad you enjoyed
at 18:40 did you see what looks like an Eagle and some writing possibly on that left wall? I may just be seeing things. But another GREAT VIDEO from you Sir (and little sir). Thank You for doing these fine Historical Videos for All to see. Bravo!
Thank you my friend and glad to see you enjoyed it.
Fantastic, inspiring and hugely exciting.
I wish it was me who could touch history and especially in places where no one has ever been before.
Thanks for an exciting video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Truly amazing, thank you both for your superb efforts to bring us so much amazing history.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank You So Much History Hunter & Co for All Your Videos, I Absolutely Love and Share your Enthusiasm for the Historical Locations that you visit, Well done, Many Thanks! 👏👍
Very happy to read that and thanks my friend.
You can't beat the Germans when it comes to build quality and technologies. I am sure most of this machinery still fworks if you know how to operate it. Cheers for the great video !
Right on
You are so fortunate to be able to explore these fabulous locations! And equipment still functioning after all these years! Wow. Just wow. Just awesome!!!💖
Was a great explore and so glad to have share with you Cynthia :)
Great part 2 my friend. As I said this would be a great restoration project also a lifetimes worth. If i remember some documents, there is a mechanical interlock on the shutter system that keeps you from turning the handle. Other wise if the track ways are still greased then it would more then likely still work. Noticed that like the panzers the grease fittings on the equipment was also painted red. Stay safe and well my friend. EE keep your father out of trouble.
Great details there William and so happy to see you enjoyed it :) Thanks and be safe.
Amazing that those things are still there and have not been removed.
Agree and very glad to have shared that with you. Thanks my friend.
What a place this is why I'm obsessed with the german army and luftwaffe amazing
Thanks Karl :)
One of your best finds yet, literally stepping back into time, well done my friend.
Thanks 👍
@@WW2HistoryHunter You're very welcome, oh my wife and daughter had covid, quarrintined for a week, I never caught it, orange juice, daily 10 Oz glass 2 oranges every other day, 1 motrine daily, doc said my lungs are perfect, told her about that banana honey mix in hot water. I even smoke the WW2 Camels non filters, children's motrin for eagle eyes. Be safe yall
Fantastic work you do m8... it's a pity places like this isn't preserved and put or even turned into a Museum... Really shows how amazing Germany made things... Keep up the good work guys...👌👏❤
Couldn't agree more
Absolutely fabulous, thank you for the tour.
Our pleasure!
Wow H.H & E.E. Worth waiting for. You can almost visualise the Germans operating their various tasks to support the gun. Thank you for another cracking video.
Take care all.
John B.
Great place and thanks John
What a great suprise to get the notification for part 2 of this amazing place, I didn't expect it so soon.
It's so unique to see so many features still intact, it's just a shame the wall paintings were covered over, hopefully it's just a kind of whitewash & it can be removed easily.
Thanks guys 👍
Ps....I hope you didn't hear any more strange banging noises!
We didnt hear any more but we saw......well it will be a surprise :) Thanks Adam.
@@WW2HistoryHunter oooh that sounds exciting, really looking forward to seeing that for sure.
Thanks my friend, stay safe
What a shame that these places cannot be preserved for history's sake instead of just rotting away, very interesting film looking forward to part 2, thanks again lads, cheers pete.
so nice ! love the video greetings from holland
Thank you very much!
Wonderful part two, thank you HH& EE , STAY SAFE.👍🏻👍🏻❤️🇬🇧
Loved the place and thanks Anthony.
Thanks for update from bunker. 👍 Build quality of all remaining equipment is fascinating - even after all these years in wet conditions, still works..
These upper rail systems for transporting ammunition shows engineers bright minds..
Great exploration, love it! 😊👍
Thanks for taking time to comment and watch.
This is an incredibly well-preserved site considering it is over 75 years since there was any maintenance of the equipment and it is near the ocean and salt air which accelerates corrosion of metal. While it would be interesting if the propaganda murals had not been painted over, I can understand that people who lived in a country occupied by the Nazis wanted to remove them considering what they experienced under occupation. Thanks for a fantastic history lesson !
Appreciated Tom.
Fantastic video only WW2 history hunter family manages to bring us such great content. 👍👍👍🤗
Very glad for that and thanks :)
I'm just trying to imagine how LOUD it was working in that bunker!!!!!
Must have been totally crazy loud.
Just in awe of the build. This had to take years to build. THanks for sharing these videos just awesome work
Interesting place for sure :) Thanks.
I was in ammo and explosives in the Army so this is amazing to get to see this. Very kool.
But sad at the same time to think that after all the wars we still can't seem to learn to live in peace.
Hopefully one day before it's too late we as a human race will learn to live together in peace and learn and share our knowlege of good discoveries with each other.
Thank you so much !
So true my friend and thanks for sharing and for watching
Wow, it's like a time capsule in there! It's amazing how well preserved everything is in that bunker! I will agree that it is a shame that the eagle and writing on the walls has been covered up, but I guess I can understand why someone would cover it up. This place should be given landmark status as one of the last remaining German WWII bunkers on the Atlantic wall that is in such good condition! As always, keep up the good work, and continue showing us your explorations! I can't wait for the next video of this location!
Great palce and thanks Christopher.
Thank you for showing such an intact bunker, it's rare to see what they once looked like.
Glad you liked it :)
I used to watxh your vids years ago! glad you showed up in my recommandations again idk if u still reply to comments but glad to see you grow and I hope you grow even bigger!
i remember an episode where you were with your son :D
Hit that notification bell icon and you will be served :) Thanks my friend.
Another wonderful presentation. Sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for part three.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Truely impressive dimensions and complexity of that structure. There must have been a big crew to operate that gun. Too bad the writings and graphics had been painted over. Would like to se how it looked back then.
Will show more later and thanks.
What a magnificent adventure to be able to explore such an awesome place - Emma & Rick 👍🏼
It really is and thanks to you both from us.
Thanks again. I'm always amazed with what still remains, especially with the amount of water around.
You and me both!
Why do they paint over the symbols? It drives me mad. It's so pathetic.
Well i guess that is history :) Thanks.
For the same reason that 99% of all ETO brought home Mauser trophies had their dirty birds belted or chiseled off . The folks that paid a very HIGH PRICE to combat and ultimately defeat The Reich did not view these symbols as serving a higher purpose of historic value . They saw death and destruction in these symbols , they saw and felt memories of their basic training big six watcher get hit and get hit bad , this war was nasty , it was extreme cruelty , therefore , NO quarter was given to the enemy , much less their symbols adorned by fanatical resistance . This is why that was done way back then .
What you are saying is complete and utter nonsense and I don't believe what I'm really reading. Do not believe what you heard from the victors of WWII because they wrote it. They wrote the history to best suit their own narratives. You do understand clearly that A.H tried countless times to make peace with Winston Churchill but Winston Churchill refused every single time BECAUSE of the Jewish influence he had surrounding him. Did you even know that? @@johnnyzippo7109
The specific word for it escapes me, but even in archeological sites throughout history it has been common after major conflicts for the victors to attempt to deface and remove any evidence of their hated enemies. It IS unfortunate, but the concept of conserving ALL history regardless of your affiliation with it is a relatively new concept for humanity.
I agree.. but I'm a fan.
Love the history and design of everything they were way advanced in technology.
Thanks for watching Markus :)
You were right, this location is one of a kind ! Great job !
It sure is and thanks Eric.
algorithm please help this dude!
Thanks for the cool video!
Greetings from Turkey
Thanks and with all the great people helping out there we will reach the stars :)
ㅤ
Thanks.
Man you always find the Best Places to Explore!!! Nice Work!!!!
Very glad you liked it :)
This structure blows my mind. Thinking of all the long hours and labor building this. Wow. Thank you. Can’t wait to see the gun.
Thanks Mary :)
Wow!!Absolutely blown away by this episode,German mechanism,s were certainly built to last.Heating, hot water,sanitation,the personnel lived in relative comfort compared to the local population.Eagle Eyes must have been excited to see the Eagle murals on the walls.Once again thank you so much for bringing history to life.
yes EE was very interested in the underground there and we will shoe more soon :)
Amazing video! The first room was crazy, a giant pulley/hoist system apparently to just move in there (may need to watch that part again), then the other rooms with the visual guides, probably paramount for new recruits or replacement troops. The whole installation is outright breathtaking... can't wait to see the other videos, thanks a lot!
Very special place that is and thanks for being here :)
Great location. It just goes to show how destructive people can be when you find a place like this that has had a 50 year respite from human traffic. It's more of a time capsule than remains of what it once was. Thanks for all you do, my friend.
Very true and thanks Alfred.
Great job!!!! Thanks so much for sharing your work with us!!!
Rick
My pleasure!
Great video, I especially liked the diagrams above the transport machinery showing which way to face the shell or the powder bag and casing!
Good Work!
Glad you liked it!
Eagle eyes moving the shell loader with sounds made the whole video . Amazing discovery thanks guys.
Thanks 👍and yes EE is good with sounds :) Thanks Jon.
So well organized and with such a technique wow. thanks for uploading.
Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the nice videos. Thank you for sharing history with us. I am from South Africa and really enjoy watching these videos. I try not to miss one, and made sure my notification is on so i can see when a new video was uploaded. Thank you, you guys are doing a great job.
Appreciated and greetings from us.
This has to one of your best finds. Hasn't been completely cleared out, things still working. Best of all not restored. Thanks.
I agree and great location and glad we could share it with you
HOLY PANCAKE, that really is a massive installation. Thank you for sharing these discoveries with us.
Great place and glad i could share it with you.
Awesome reveal thanks for taking us along.
Greatly appreciate you being here Jim
Great find love this can't wait for part 3
Thanks Carrie.
This series is definitely special,thank you so very much for all your efforts.Best regards to you and eagle eyes.peace
So nice of you
A lot of work went into building that Complex! It’s a shame to let it rot away!
Indeed and i hope they will take good care of them in the future. Thanks.
Another great video, well done buddy 👌👍
Thanks for that.
Absolutely fascinating place. To see the Loading Table mechanism working after all that time, and still with grease on the cog track. Amazing. The 1st and 4th rooms are for handling the bagged powder charge and shell case, with the paintings reminding the loading crew which way round they go on the table. The 2nd and 3rd rooms are for the shells, and their paintings show not only which way around, but the tip colour indicates the type of shell (high explosive or armour piercing). Such an amazing place with so much History. Cannot wait for the next video! Cheers to you all!
Great location indeed and very glad we could share it with you Peter :)
You and EE must have really enjoyed looking around this place and exploring all the details. Would be a great restoration project to get one of those lifts and winches into working order. Really appreciate the videos you have produced.
We shall retore it 100 % ha ah , just kidding. Great place and glad we could share it with you.
Great video and awesome place. We want see more that place 😉
Thanks.
Someone was probably trying to loot the place of hidden treasure. I remember reading stories from US military personnel finding loot hidden in spaces like that, one story was about a silver bullion found inside an air lock .
There you go , always exciting stuff going on :) thanks my friend.
Awesome bunker - Thanks for sharing :)
I agree my friend a very interesting place it is and will return for more later :)
Thank you for another interesting and educational video....Stay Safe
Greatly appreciated George :)
Fantastic location. Great that WE is with you. An experience he can look back on and tell his children. Be careful out there.
i think you mean Eagle Eyes ( EE ) and yes very glad fo rthat and thanks for comment and for watching.
@@WW2HistoryHunter Very sorry about that Eagle Eyes. Fingers and eyes were not working well. Oooops. You guys stay safe and all the best to the family.
That place is absolutely amazing
Thanks Tommy
One of the best videos I have ever seen. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
Such a shame that Germany tries to erase this not too distant history. Good or bad, it's history and buildings, artefacts and everything else should be preserved
Thank you for being here with us :)
Why ist everyone so hung up on this? It's a symbol of hate, why not accept that distance to this time was and is not possible and most Germans nowadays are so disgusted of this dreadful past that spreading this symbol of hate in any way is worse than censoring it. I as a German and every person I know hate this symbol.
Wow that the tables are still working is really unbelievable after more than 80 years. And then the big eagle with the spread wings and the HK below. Really really indescribable to find something like that nowadays. Be proud of what you two discover. Thanks for showing and sharing. Stay healthy and continue to be adventurous. Greetings Daniel
it is truly a special locationa nd glad we could share it wi th you my friend :)
I really hope the politically correct don't go in there and further destroy the historical murals...history is to be remembered and learned from, not try to erase it and pretend it never happened.
Great video with amazing historical features😀👍
Thank you Luke
Wow! I can’t believe after all these years that the bearings are still good on that machinery, especially underground. Fantastic find!😊
yes what a great location that is and thanks for being here with us :)
Amazing place. Doesn't surprise me that much of the equipment there still work, as most was built to last ages. Reminds me of a navy ship in its design and function, though most bunker complexes with large guns are run similarly. I know the gun will be a nice surprise, if it is the one I am thinking. Kudos to you guys for finding it open. It should be shown, restored where possible, not be closed off.
Thanks Todd for comment and for watching.
