I went to France with Eelco to explore an abandoned WWII bunker of the Maginot line, the 2nd largest fortification of the world. After being abandoned, many guns were removed or relocated to a museum, but in this bunker you can still find some big guns!

Bob I think it was not chairs but a small lift to move the heavy round up to the barrel
The absolute magnitude of these bunkers built pre/during the war just blows me away.
Thanks Bob for such an awesome video
There's a reason NASA recruited a bunch of Nazis post war. They were brilliant minds. Unfortunately being put to bad use in that era.
I'm just impressed at how rust free that 90 year old turret is inside in such a wet environment
It is ! Some more stuff is coming up :)
Must have been in A vacuum ......
They put that there, to sell videos!
@@kimmichaels899 So we take the guns inside the bunker? Have you seen the entrance? :D
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath No worries, Kimmichael is one of the 81 million low brain power voters
I grew up in Germany during the 50’s and 60’s. Locally we had a bunker that was destroyed by filling it with water then putting an explosive inside. There was no giant gun but there were remnants of a radio, lots of bullets and a crushed narrow gauge rail car where two soldiers would sit facing one another. I heard that there was an underground hospital nearby but we never found any evidence of it. I used to take the bullets home and remove the slug and pour out the gunpowder and set it on fire. At school we used to have ammunition awareness week where they used to bring in defused bombs and ammunition to discourage us from touching them if we found anything.
Do tej pory w Polsce często odkrywane są niewybuchy. Sam złapałem jednen na magnes neodymowy . Szukam z wykrywaczem i znajduje masę łusek , amunicji do mausera. Zgłaszam często na policję, żeby nie zrobiły krzywdy nikomu .
Did you grow up in the east or west? Did you have any run in with the Stasi?
I've been in that bunker in the 90's.
Amazing how little it has changed till now. Wasn't burnt back then but the floors were pushed up already
I’ll be visiting the maginot in a few weeks, can you tell me where this thing is?
@@maxroffel2304 just look at all the signs in the video. listen and watch closely and you will fnd out. I just did. 3 hints... 0:22 , 3:38 and 2:52 was all I needed.
That’s pretty wild how much the floors have buckled up from the expansion of that mineral!
You find the best places to explore!
A great explore of a fascinating bunker. Your explores with Eelco are some of my favourites on your channel. Really interesting (and funny) comments between you both. Thanks.
Thanks a lot Paul! Hope to go on some more trips together😄 We’re both very busy😒
That place was massive thanks for sharing guys great work 👍
Fantastic stuff guys, your whole video set up is perfect 🙂
I don’t think they were seats.i think they are hoppers to catch the ejected shell casings
That could be! I’ll dig more into all those things before I visit another one😬
But I do wonder where they were positioned in some turrets.. barely any space to stand…
Those are indeed spent casings hoppers. The fabric or rubber were used to prevent damage to the casings, since they were refilled and reused.
Seats no sitting down on the job lots off moving needed they are indeed for empty that can be reused anywhere they can save on making using more resources all so don't won't emptys rolling around the floor
Bob, I never would have imagined hat such an intact complex of the Maginot Line still existed to this day. Thank you
There are some more cool ones! And I will also revisit some others I’ve been to and show pictures from almost 15 years ago when I went and compare it😊
Best of the best videos! Great find, Bob! Hope you are doing well!
Wow. Just wow. It's like stepping back in time. Thanks guys.
i could just walk and walk and explore forever....Amazing video and thanks for the video bob
Good stuff as usual Bob. You find some incredible places
Can we both be best friends?
Thanks a lot ☺️🙏
Static versus mobile defense. Interesting how military thought changed over time
And now it's changing back to more static defenses...at least in Ukraine
@@t0ny1189 US wars against poor people fooled a lot of people to think that way. There is no certain winning strategy which will last forever.
I can't get to these places anymore ,so thank you for these films and showing me things I will not get to see for myself I have done a lot of exploring over the years and your adventures bring back so many memories and lets me come with you even if it is in a small way .This is wonderful stuff ,Thank you .
Nothing like seeing these two boys bunker diving together again.
Hi Bob, thanks for the tour that is so awesome. Be safe.
Bob and Eelco guiding you through the museums still without a ticket booth!
Love your work Bob, thanks for sharing.
Thanks !! I keep them coming🙏😎
What a spectacular bunker, maybe the most intact I've ever seen! Thank you so much for sharing!!
thank you for the tour
Really cool...I have seen so many old films of inside the maginot line structures but this is an incredible view of what its like today.Really amazing after over 80 years..
That is so cool you guys get to explore this 😊
It would be so cool if the government actually opened these bunkers up instead of trying to just put big pieces of metal or metal bars in front of the Entrance. Yes it’s a bad part of History but it’s still History
Some of the best preserved bunkers have been restored and are open as museums. But there is so much of it all along the east edge of France that there is too much to preserve.
Jeez. This structure is really complex... Amazing. Thank you for the content.
Very nice explore!
Wow what a fantastic explore
Great video! It's a terrible shame that no one is maintaining this anymore. This is true history!
This was epic, im actually writing a book about ww2 and this gives me a good image of the bunkers back then
Sick video bro keep it up and stay safe
Een prima vonst weer een hoop achtergelaten, een mooie explore erg veilig is dat kreng niet meer zo te zien wow.
Ik ga er binnenkort nog enkele andere doen en ik heb er nog enkele op de plank liggen die ook de moeite zijn! Bedankt weer voor het kijken🙏
Super video 👍😉
Great time warp video, fantastic seeing all the equipment still in situ.👍👍🇬🇧
Places like these should be preserved. If not for being relics of the past, we might need them again soon.
Would be useless in a modern war
@@JoshhGB They said the same thing for trench warfare
@@randomdude8202 i mean these places are in france not ukraine which is a nuclear power. The only countries strong enough to invade france are also nuclear powers. What use would they be in a nuclear war?
@@JoshhGB You hide inside.
@@randomdude8202 and die from radiation?
nice one Bob
The Maginot line defence is amazing feat of engineering.
Great footage lads.
Crazy to imagine it’s almost a century old also..😳
Wow how extraordinary to see the preservation of some of the mechanisms. Just amazing. Thanks 🙏
Some stuff in a good condition!
I've just realized how much my years of working as a Home Inspector has messed with my mind, because I saw that entrance that you used to squeeze into the bunker and immediately thought "yeah, that appears serviceable".
Haha! Funny to look from that “ angle”😇
tough job home inspector....finding faults ...estimating repairs...every day... passing on all this good information to the potential new home owners
@@lawrenceaderneck7165 I love it.
amazing video! I absolutely love historic military fortifications.
What a wonderful piece of history would make an amazing museum
Wonderful film guys
Great job Bob love all your excellent videos and hard work thank you guys.
Thanks a million 🙏 😇
Your content just gets better and better 😁👍
Thanks! I still mostly rush through places but I try to give more and more information.
Been to visit one of the Maginot bunkers thats opened and restored, really impressive
They are impressive yes! I should too, to learn more about them. I only have seen abandoned ones😳
Awesome explore Bob. Bunkers are the coolest.
More cool ones coming up in the next months!
WOW What a cool place to look around!!
It is! You easily spend a day in there!
Wow! awesome place & video, Would love to explore this one.
Thanks! There are many of these.
I've been to the Maginot line. A section where it has been kept in working order, including the underground railway. Which was neat to ride on.
Nice video would be great to see it in person👍
Oh hell yeah, can't wait 🤠🤠🤠
It's really fun to experience exploring places like this.
Amazing that the guns were still there.
Hello everyone! Hope you're well Bob 💪😎⭐️
All good here! Soon to Greece for some adventures. Thanks for checking out!
I dont think the whole corridor was on fire, the smoke is only high up on the walls and roof, they made piles of copper and burned it in the tunnels to get the plastic of, and the smoke has no way to go fast, thats why the roof and some of the walls is black all the way.
Hello Bob.
Cheers! 🍻
Very cool!!!
one of the best ww2 bunkers ive ever seen
13:43 that was on fire 🔥 for ages to look 👀 like that
Amazing!
Reminds me of my explorations of the Maginot. That was 30 years ago. Still got hundreds of pictures.
Great!
This is a really interesting bunker. I know the place because I've been there with a friend in 2012. Great memories to see this video.
Hands down, one of the best exploration videos ive seen in years, great work guys 👌
Check out my adventures to an abandoned aircraft carrier and former secret military underground workshop too😄🤩
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath I'll definately check them out, love this kind of content ❤️
So cool, again. thanks for making these videos. Ga zo door!
Those ammo cases would make some top dollar wine bottle racks for some rich people.
I believe I cut it out of the episode.. but I say normal people have coke cans next to them and here were ammunition shells😅😂 But yes! A cool relic for history enthousiasts
Yeah eelco is ook top bob!
It is definitely creepy and cool. Amazing footage my friend !!!!
I absolutely love the map overlay as you go, super cool and informative
Масштабный объект💪 Просто потрясающе👍
Fair play now this is interesting
Amazing.
There's a section of the Maginot Line that I went in with a guided tour and it was all well kept. Really neat stuff.
You remember which one you went to?
Well done Bob!
Thanks a lot mate 🙏
The amount of effort, materials and design that went in that bunker boggles the mind. Epic.
Yes, and this is just 1 of the countless Bunkers of that line😮
Gaaf hoor ja in het echt zal het wel een mooie ervaring zijn daar rond te lopen👍
Bloody impressive and to think that alot of that stuff down there has not rusted away it's the quality built of the yester years gone ny
Built to last yes! Nowadays they tear a building down after a few decades.
Eelco! The gang's all back together.
Great video..where’s Elco been hiding?
New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦
Work… our schedules don’t meet too often u fortunately🫤He is very limited with days and for me it’s too expensive to go to another country for 1-3 days.. but who knows how the future looks like!
nice sharing like done 👍👌❤️🌹🙏
How have I only just discovered this channel
Thanks! I have way more bold adventures on this channel.. from space shuttles to warships😁
So cool guys
Thank you (from France)!!
Some bunkers of the Maginot line can be visited with comments in English. One includes a functional railway to hell and more. ;)
It helps to preserve and restore the other bunkers.
Maginot line was indeed effective simply because Germans never passed it. With less than 200000soldiers in it, it's been a great advantage for France, which population was lower than Germany's...
However, we were defeated - but not because of the Maginot line.
People forget to look up! There is an overhead track system that runs the length of the bunker, allowing the supplies and ammunition to easily be brought into the bunker and moved efficiently.
You mean the one they're looking up at 7:58? 🙄
Tremendo vídeo te felicito
From Porto Seguro, Brazil
Nice. A bunker with all the equipment. Definitely a gun designed for a ship and in great condition. Im always amazed at the amount of abandoned stuff in the world. It has so much potential but money or dumb rules is always the road block.
Well done guys 👏👏
Thanks! Some more of this caliber bunkers coming up in the next months
4:50 I don't think this would be the case for a gun like this, but I believe foot pedals have been used in some contexts to fire weapons lol. I can't really think of another reason for a foot pedal in a turret like that either tbf
Mental.....must of the time the roof comes down not the floor goes up, amazing and shocking!!!
Great video,people like you always revealing things from those idiots than just want keep secrets,tks
Its amazing how they built all of this
What a beast, well done Paul. Just putting a tfl popeye together. Used a Tp 4060 1950kv. Hopefully it goes OK, not much experience with hydros .
Hi Peter, just for your info, you commented on the wrong video😊
As usual very interesting. I always wonder how you find your way out again when going deep inside tunnels etc. But somehow you managed to find the exit, since I am watching this 🙂
Plans of the Ouvrages are easy to get in the net. But maybe not for everyone....: years ago, i found a group of boys from the Netherlands deep inside the Gros Ouvrage Mont des Welsches. They went in only with the light of their phones and only one had a little bit of energy left. And inside the bunker there ist no connection. They sat in the darkness for halv a day.
I'd leave a trail of bread crumbs.
Thanks for another great video. Didn't even see it yet but I already know
I’m so happy for all the new videos, Bob!! Good to see you and Eelco together again. Whenever I see a notification for a new video from you I immediately watch it. Thank you 🙏
WowI thought this place would of been some tourist attraction but find it is totally abandoned due to the amount of damage from ground swelling. Great video guys and there is no way I would of got through that small entrance. Amazed there is still those large guns and mortars still inside I bet they would still be operable if they were removed and had some work done to them.
They would indeed! Thanks for checking out. I will visit & post more in the near future. About the hole.. it’s tiny! I first went with another friend, bit he didn’t fit. So I had to go back!😅
EPIC!!!!
It must have been deafening when those guns were firing, the sound must have destroyed the gunners ear drums. The amount of industrial accidents from building that gun in such a tight space, it must have been horrendous!
Quite some incidents:deaths have been recorded here indeed!😳
Was in one of those systems in 1972. The mess hall had murals of an outside scene on one wall. Much better shape. But nobody cared we were there then either.
Cool, There are some bunkers with a lot of murals yes! I have been in a few in a pristine state 15 years ago. 1972 must have been crazy😁😁
