This video is stunning from an engineering standpoint . The ratios between the width of the tunnels and the height + the arch in the ceiling is the work of a master engineer .
Thank You once again WW2HistoryHunter for another masterpiece .
thank you very much.
Those guns really bring the history to life.
They truly do yes. Thanks
I'm rewatching. Such a wonder of engineering. I can't get enough of History. Thank you again.
How cool to read and thanks for that :)
The tension rises so well, what will come this time.
2:50 the mesh on the railing indicates that people still want to guarantee safety.
The cannon has been neatly restored.
Great location and thanks Oma
Another incredible adventure. Loved seeing the tunnels and the gun was awesome to see. Thank you for taking us along
Thanks Tommy
Slowly but surely I am getting caught up on all of your terrific videos that I missed. Thank you for another very good one!
Welcome back my friend and greetings from us.
What a simply stunning location. The amount of work put into digging those tunnels. Amazing. And seeing those Schneider 105's just sitting there waiting for their crews to return. The Schneider's official designation was "Canon de 105 mle 1913 Schneider", and Le Havre 1918 stamp is probably from their re-certification at the end of WW1, as being still usable. Truly amazing. And as for finding that boot print in the concrete. That's History re-born. Like finding a prehistoric footprint in the mud. Stunning. Thank you my friends for another great video! Cheers!
Yes Peter i think you are right and when it comes to the footprints , they are just awesome proof of the activity there and makes it so much more " real ". Thanks and more to come soon my friend :)
That is amazing, I'm glad you and EE found and shared this place. Can't imagine what went into building all those positions. Thanks again for taking us along.
Very glad to read that Allen and more to come soon :)
I watched a video yesterday about Iowa Jima and they stated that the tunnels were not all mane made, locations were chosen where nature made many of the tunnels and then men would work to connect the dots if you will, so not as much tunnel digging as we believe from movies.
Excellent! The footprints in the concrete were eerie! I totally agree that these things should be left intact and preserved as much as possible. When you actually go in one of these places you suddenly get a much stronger feeling for the reality of what happened in WW2 than you do just by reading the history books - it makes it all much more real. It connects you with the history much more than merely looking at pictures or reading a book. You are there, in a real bunker that once housed German troops and which perhaps saw action in the war.
Appreciate you watching and commenting Charles
so much appreciated guys! i love all these channels who compare and show stuff etc, so we get a better picture. thank u
Thanks
Fantastic part 4 to the series - some one has done a great job on restoring those old guns. Hope they continue to keep them in good order.
Thanks and greetings from us.
Wow very cool location!! Have been looking forward to this!!
Appreciated and greetings from us
Really quite amazing. Thank you for bringing us with you to see these special gems of history!
Our pleasure Gabe and greeting from us.
What an amazing complex. Thank you for bringing us this amazing video HH & EE. Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it Paul and more to come later :)
You are quite right about the POWs. What many people don't realise is that under the Geneva convention only officers did not have to work. Ordinary soldiers could legally be made to work for the Germans. Huge numbers were forced to do much hard labour for Germany, often in terrible conditions. Many British, French and I assume American ordinary soldiers were made to labour for Germany. And of course, for prisoners from the Eastern front the Geneva convention was not even recognised.
Thanks for comment and for watching.
Astonishing place. Great video. Thank you for bringing it to us.
So nice of you Alfred and yes that place is something else. Thanks you for your great support my friend.
Thank you for these videos. My fathers family came from Germany in the early 1930's. My Father had polio as a child so he never was drafted. For these things I am grateful. Otherwise my family would have likely ended in WW 2. These emplacements are very interesting but I wish there was more equipment that could be found. I am a lover of old tools, trucks, tractors and weapons. Thank for sharing your life with us. Your son and daughter to!
Thanks again from Staunton Virginia USA
Thanks for sharing and appreciate you taking tie to comment and watch. Greetings from us.
What a great finale to this video series, then you top it off with two actual guns. Amazing
Great place and thanks my friend :)
So cool and educating content in your videos. I’ve learned loads about ww2 these 2 years I’ve been following you. A massive thank you for sharing all this.
Wow , how great to read and thanks for watching Lottie :)
I have learnt so much with these pictures of the type Of guns used. Great Video.
Thank You
Thanks my friend.
What an outstanding location,how cool to see the Schneider gun,s in their original location.Thank,s once again to to you and Eagle Eyes for shining a light on the past.
No worries and thanks my friend.
This has been a fantastic series.
Thank you and Eagle eyes👍
Very glad to read Zack and more to come soon :)
What an amazing adventure! Seeing the guns was incredible but you know what gave me the chills was seeing the foot print. Unreal! Thank you WWII History Hunter and Eagle Eyes. Stay safe and Be Well. Kurt
Yes Kurt , that is a very special timestamp you could say and very glad to have shared it with you. Greetings from us and stay safe.
The largest bunker complex I have ever seen! An incredible amount of work to support a handful of relatively old and small guns. It highlights what many people do not appreciate about the German war effort - how much captured equipment they reused.
great place and glad you liked it :)
So incredible. As a kid I used to draw side views of mountain installations with tunnels and guns like this all the time. So cool and thanks for the long forgotten memories. Your adventures are always amazing and I am so glad and honored you share them with us all.
✌❤🙂
Thank you my friend and appreciate your great support.
Thanks HH and EE always something worth while to see and learn about a time of history not that far away in the past. Always interesting adventures from you guys.
Glad you enjoyed it Wanda and more to come you know :)
OMG...this whole series was absolutely amazing...thank you so much for all that you do to bring history to those of us that aren't able to see this in person... 😁😁😁
Our pleasure and more to come soon :)
To me it looks like they repurposed and expanded an existing or abandoned mine. The main tunnel size is typical for drifts, there are tunnels that face out indicating the ore body stopped there, the initial stairs were likely added to the raise or vertical shaft so it was easy to use by people. Either way that's very cool - thanks for sharing!
well they were built by the Germans and for the Germans. Thanks.
Great location and tunnel system! Loved the gun . Thanks HH @ EE ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Loved it and thanks Mark :)
Amazing find and so jealous I would love to see those guns thanks for sharing
Thanks Steve.
once again always learning new things from your videos my friend really good find👍
Very glad to read that and thanks for being here. :)
The most impressive bunker tunnel system the Germans I have seen so far! Thanks again to you and eagle eyes once again. I feel like I'm right there walking along side you guys. Again thanks for your hard work at all the locations you go 🇺🇲
Glad you enjoyed it
Thumb's up guy's!! You said it several times, this place is amazing!! Thanks fir sharing!! I still have a lot to catch up on, been working lot's lately
Dont work to hard Joshua and i know you will not forget to keep smiling. Thanks and have a great summer time my friend.
The thing that comes across in this incredible complex of large tunnels is the amount of mind-boggling human sweat and toil that was involved in creating them thru' solid granite. They are memorials to great engineering too. Glad the old French Schneider artillery pieces were restored and in good condition esp considering that they are now 102 years old! Another great video. Thank you esp now that it is difficult to travel because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Please be safe too!
Yes that place is just great to study and experience and glad we could share it with you Karl. Thanks and appreciate your support.
As an American I can’t describe how much envy I have for you guys across the pond, I’d give anything to be able to explore half the emplacements that are in your backyards. Keep it coming, I can’t get enough!
Appreciated and greetings from us
Wow 😲
What a crazy tunnel system!
More intact Schneider guns 😁 Thank you for sharing such an amazing location
Yes they are such great items to find out there :) Thanks Casey :)
Hello from a history enthusiast and new subscriber on the Isle of Wight. Thank you for bringing this history back to life. I can't wait to watch both your new stuff and the back catalogue. Take care, stay safe and keep up the great work
Welcome aboard Gavin and appreciate you taking time to comment and watch.
Amazing place and a great tour as usual, thank you for sharing this with us
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm thinking those weren't the guns that were originally placed in that position. Probably bigger guns. This is the most incredible discoveries you've ever found. All these tunnels are unbelievable.
Fantastic place and so glad we shared it with you.
Those guns could very well have been captured from the French and used in a static defensive position after capture. Fairly common for captured equipment to be used in such a manner.
One of your best series yet, still miss the drone shots you used to do in the early days :-)
Well , drone work is demanding and you have to bring lots of gear but who knows what the future holds...Thanks
Fantastic.....thank you guys! 👍
Thank you too!
Thanks for showing us this!
I had no clue these existed!
Glad you liked it. Thanks
That's amazing, walking through those tunnels with you gave me flashbacks of playing Wolfenstein 3D! I'm amazed by how well they are dug out, and even how flat and square the floors are to the walls, I guess they done like that to wheel the cannon through? Must have been back breaking work digging all that out!
yes they often brought the guns in pieces in there and assembled at the spot where the gun sat. Thanks for wathing.
Awesome stuff guys!!! Cheers from New Zealand
Rock on and thanks for watching.
This is one the best sites ! What a large tunnel system! It appears that this site is under restoration I saw the treated wood door frame and the tunnels looked like they had been cleaned up and the restored guns! That's great preserving the past for future generations to see! I so much appreciate what you and eagle eyes do!
Very glad to have shared it with you Jeffery and more to come. Stay safe.
Wow that tunnel system and guns were amazing 💜💜💜💜👍👍👍👍. I’m surprised you guys didn’t get lost in those tunnels .
Hi, you guys find the true history that is very cleverly hidden and then you bring it to life, an awesome explore. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖
We love to explore and discover Sue and very glad you come along with us :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter 🤗
Really great video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 always fascinating
Thanks again!
Thanks you for sharing this amazing site . So much effort to build this its incredible. 👍
yes my friend , that place is something else for sure. Just imagine being able to wind back time , sit down and just watch the activity level there. More to come soon and greetings from us.
WOW 😁 what an amazing location. Fantastic video my friend 👍
Glad you enjoyed it and stay safe my friend.
Thanks for the video
Our pleasure!
What a fantastic location. All the tunnels make you wonder how they knew which tunnel went where. Glad you didn’t loose Eagle Eyes in the tunnels. Did you see any marking on the walls telling where you were heading? I bet they had a time getting that gun down there. Glad to see they didn’t let the guns rust away on their platforms. Your very fortunate to see all these amazing locations before they are gone. One day the videos you made may be all we have of this time in history. Great work.
there were no markings that i can remember and some pretty cool tunnels they are. Thanks Anthony and greetings from us.
Wow is all I can say. Thanks for showing. Those tunnels are amazing and for those 105s to be there too after all these years is Awesome! We're you able to traverse all the tunnels there? Looking forward to seeing more from you and also from that lake still lol
Glad you enjoyed it Collen and we might show more later. Stay safe :)
Great video! One of your best.
Appreciate that Chris.
@@WW2HistoryHunter 👍
Nice view for the Gun . The view is so great !!!
Very nice and glad you liked it :)
Wow, amazing complex of tunnels - cheers for the history lesson :) as always, Ross.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@WW2HistoryHunter Always do buddy :)
Navigating these tunnels can't have been easy. Thanks for the video!
One can get a bit confused yes but luckily there is always a way out it seems :) Thanks
Amazing Gun that and what a massive amount of work it must have taken to build that inner bunker 😀👍👌...cool video mate
I agree , so much work they did there. Appreciate you watching and commenting.
I thought your series 'The World's Most Fortified Island,' was the best but this might have eclipsed that.
Thanks you Penny :)
As always a great show of engineering and back breaking work. A person can really appreciate the level of tunnel work if you have worked in stone. To bad none of their mining tools are left behind, hand drills would have been worn down to nubs before discarding. The complex is very extensive . Well done and stay safe out there.
Very nice William and a great place to explore. Thanks and stay safe William.
Amazing video again I do love watching your videos I lean so much
Glad you like them Ryan
@@WW2HistoryHunter I do and I'm a very big fan and maybe one day I could go with you both and see it myself
Fantastic yet again thank you for sharing 👏👍👍👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Those tunnels were HUGE! Good job NOT getting lost hahaha! And what an awesome gun / cannon!
Totally agree and loved that location. More to come :)
The Germans had a vary versatile military, they were vary effective with their blitzkrieg, yet they also could build an effective fixed fortification you couldn't just bypass and attack
from the rear like the Germans did when it came to the Maginot line. They sure knew how to make a huge headache for the Allies running out of the landing craft.
Great video, I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next. Thanks for what you do and sharing your adventures. Looks like a lot of fun.
More to come Jeff and thanks for comment and for watching.
Crazy, imagine the work to make that ,, mind boggling
I agree so much work done there. Thanks Andrew.
super video and beautyful guns
Thanks for watching.
Mind boggling to come out of a tunnel and see the gun in place ready to go. Then a footprint to add a ghostly finale.
Yes those footprints are totally special to see today. Thank you Stephanie :)
Awesome history thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Good video. Thank you
Thank you too!
Love watching these and the more I listen the more I think it sounds like Christoph Waltz narrating....... Reveal yourself! Lol. keep up the amazing work.
Wow, thanks and greetings from us.
Another Outstanding video and presentation. Thank you from California USA.
Thank you very much and greetings to California from us.
Absolutely brilliant.
thank you my friend :)
7:23..... Did not expect that .... WOW !!! looks amazing sitting there ....
I agree and such a interesting place it is.
Beautiful ending.
What a great place. Man it looks like you could get lost lol.so many tunnel. Guns where cool to look at.
It is for sure a very interesting location. Thanks Bill
Hello history hunter. I think what you found was a water reservoir I wonder if anything was dropped in there? However I am curious as to know if you have ever been able to get a diagram or layout plans of any of the bunkers you have explored? Thanks love the work and channel. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family...
Sometimes we do come across that. Thanks and stay safe.
Wow beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for another awesome adventure and seeing some amazing finds especially the guns ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you , Eagle Eye and Bunker Buster Girl maybe doing next ! Doing well here in Kansas .
Very much appreciate your kind support Steve and stay safe in Kansas.
One thing that fascinates me is that the Germans were very good at digging tunnels during WW1, then they start WW2 and just continue with tunnel construction on a completely different level.
in a way they did yes. Thanks Anders.
Nice to se the guns and a great place 👍😎
I totally agree and thanks my friend and stay safe :)
Now that’s an awesome location.😎👏🏻
i agree :) Thanks.
WOW! I've been meaning to watch this, but life gets extra busy sometimes. That place is truly amazing!! Those guys were some serious tunnelers! It almost seems like you'd have to create a map to find your way around.
I know captured French guns were constantly used by the Germans. But for anti-ship usage, 105mm seems awfully small - unless they were attacked by smaller ships. The terrain certainly doesn't look like a potential landing area. And that water way looks like it could handle ships much larger (and with much larger guns) than the defenses were capable of countering. BUT a defensive position is a defensive position - for what it's worth. With all the work put into that whole complex, you'd think they would have had 28cm or 35cm guns there. Perhaps they just never got around to it.
By the way, thanks for pointing out the boot-print in the concrete floor! As soon as you mentioned concrete floors, I wondered if you'd find a date, initials or even better a footprint. THAT really brings the past to life when you wonder about the man who made it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your diligent hobby! And danke veilmals to Eagle Eye's as well. Stay safe.
(One more of your videos to watch and I'll be caught up.)
Thank you very much Jason for taking time to comment and watch. Very much appreciated. Greetingsf rom us and stay safe.
What did they do with all the rock from digging ?Thank you for the video . Very well done .
Huge landfills around the area there are. Thanks
Another amazing adventure in an awesome location!
Thank you & Eagle Eyes again for sharing the past with us in this great video.
So many of us are interested in this part of history but will probably never get the chance to see these fantastic locations that still survive today if it wasn't for you..... respect! 👍🏻🙂
Very glad to read that and thanks Adam
@@WW2HistoryHunter my pleasure, my friend.
Keep up the good work :)
Well done!
Thanks Conrad.
It's vry incredible to declare it a war Museum such eloquent guns & dat fantastic tunnels(labyrinth) to reach dem its totally out of scope2imagine
Great location and thanks Saqib
Very good video,love the guns fantastic,🧨🧨👍🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧
Appreciated Anthony
Wow. A beautiful area of nature and some more amazing finds from History Hunter and Eagle Eyes!
Outstanding work, thank you.
Those old 1st world war guns must have seen some action in their elustrious careers... It is a bit of a shame they are left to rot.
Anyway guys. Thanks again for the video. Keep safe and keep smiling!!
Thanks and greetings from us.
How come 16 people dislike this video? This is wonderful love the cave searching and discovering the gun position with the restored gun piece. Wonderful!
Thanks Jay and greetings from us.
It is great to see these remnants of WWII . It would be great to see this with a Wehrmacht soldier who served there. We are losing vets of the second World War at a rate of 1,000 per day. So sad.
Thanks for taking interest and greetings from us.
Imagine the man hours it took to make these tunnels. That 5 flights of stairs didn’t happen overnight. I wonder if the chains hanging from the ceiling were for some kind of lights? I would think the gun placements would have camouflage netting over them. There had to be a lot of ammunition stored here considering the size of the tunnels and storage areas.
Well i did wonder about the chains actually. Thanks Antohny.
Impressive tunnel system HH and ER. A lot of architectural planning, hard labor/labour, and strategic placement of these tunnel systems. Couldn't believe how massive the tunnel system was and again how well constructed. I feel the foot print of the German soldier was just him leaving his mark (signature). Relieved to hear that you didn't end up falling and hurting your butt HH. Be careful you two. Would think any soldiers in those carved out mountainside tunnels would be pretty safe if hit by enemy artillery. Did you figure out whether that area was meant to be a water reservoir? Those two Schneider Le Havre 75 mm guns were really something to see. It looks like a little bit of restoration was involved. Too bad the gun turrets were not still in intact and in place so they could still be rotated. It would be a great idea if they planned on making it a historical site for the public and/or tourists to explore. If so, I hope that they are able to preserve and maintain the gun artifacts, buildings, and tunnel structures for several years enabling many generations to see and experience WW2 history first hand. Well done HH and EE. Thanks once again for doing all the hard work and bringing us WW2 history into the comfort of our homes. Stay safe and keep 😃 smiling.
we think it was a water reservoir in there and the tunnels would be pretty safe in the event of attack. We have found footprints like that in many tunnels and even signatures with dates sometimes. Thanks Laura and more to come soon. Greetings from us and stay safe.
Wow amazing video as always....
He is like a legend my all friend's just love him because I keep on sharing that videos to them...
Every time he uploads a video I share that video to at least a 600 people here then and then.... I just love his work..
Lots of love from india 🇮🇳♥
Thanks my friend and very much appreciated.
Amazing!
Thanks!
Not bad ....
Nice area.
I'm planning to go there maybe this year, if covid permits.....
👍😎🤝
Thanks for watching.
I was stationed on Okinawa and we were warned not to try getting into any sealed caves the Japanese fought from in 1945 - booby traps that could still work , as we saw the pictures of disarmed traps and those who set some off souvenir hunting
wow must have been interesting to say the least :) Thanks for sharing and for watching.

That was amazing. I am not getting notifications for your videos again. Just wanted you to know. Happy History Hunting
Well i think it is YU messing up again. Thanks and more to come soon :)
History must be preserved so truth can prevail for future generations - no one will know in the future what took place there or anywhere if words and scenes are not recorded in books and DVDs and these are not preserved in a pristine to historical accuracy way. Maybe a WW2 History Hunter Book or Documentary is an idea for you to possibly consider - you have a very Family Friendly collection of presentations and you are a role model Father in how you conduct yourself in these videos and I personally enjoy the Family Friendliness and Family Camaraderie in the Videos as much as the Adventure, Knowledge, and History Presentation of the Videos. It is all wonderful and a great way for Families to spend time together and learn True History in Nature.
Thanks you James and appreciate your kind words and support.
Awesome location ! The Germans had many tunnel systems and it was great to see those !
Yes, you are right , that location is just great. Thanks.
