    I gotta be honest man. This video came up in my recommended feed on CZcams, and at first I read the title and said, "that sounds cool" but then saw this video was 14 minutes long. Reluctantly, I clicked the video, and here I am now at the 13 minute mark, sad that the video will end at 14 minutes. Thank you for making this and taking us on such an educational trip. These are things that you do not see in history books (as far as how they look today) and you are providing very cool angles to show how time has weathered these locations.

There's a brutish elegance to everything over the pond, from the architecture to the rusting guns of old. I obsess over world war 1 and 2 history, but unfortunately I'll never be able to relic hunt.

    I think the reason why they aren't in a museum is that there is an ample supply of the mountings, but few barrels because they had to be destroyed to comply with the peace treaty. Museums usually want complete assemblies. As far as preserving the sites, it depends on available resources. There are so many relics of WWII along the coast and throughout Europe that there isn't enough money to maintain them all. So, there are a few examples preserved and the rest are left to nature.

    The room with the "large pipes" is the magazine. The pipes provide passive ventilation of powder laden air to prevent dangerous buildup of unburned powder during firing that could result in an explosion hazard. The pipe closest to the ceiling allows for hotter air to stratify out of the magazine, which creates a vacuum to pull cooler air in. This flushes out stagnant air and flammable particles. The excavated area is likely unfinished and design to store materials, possibly casualties. All the rocks piled up in the structures were done as a haphazard attempt to fill in the fortifications after they were seized to prevent re-use and possibly vandalism after the war.

    My wife got excited when you mentioned snow lol. So nice to see the gun pedestal still there. Am sure after these locations were taken over by the Allies, the soldiers were told to dismantle the cannons so the Germans couldn’t use them if the retook the area. Very nice location to explore.

    After the war there were thousands of weapons, artillery, aircraft, tanks, ships left laying about that suddenly had no use. Many were saved for monuments and museums (or mothballed) but most were worthless.
    And remember, people wanted to put the horrors of the previous decade behind them.
    Look up images of WW2 surplus and you can see the hundreds of fighter planes that people would pay millions for today, just lined up waiting to be chopped up for their aluminium and magnesium. Those metals had value but the ferrous metals didn't. The price of iron and steel dropped precipitously and most of it wasn't worth the cost of transporting it to a foundry.

      Interesting story -- by the mid-'50s, Japan's industry was struggling to recover from wartime damage, and many of its harbors and docksides were still choked with wreckage. To jump-start recovery, the US State Dept. offered an economic incentive to the US steel industry to import a large amount of Japanese scrap metal -- former battleships, trains, tracks, rebar, etc. -- for reprocessing and resale to our auto manufacturers. But the word went 'round that some of the imported scrap might be contaminated with radiation, if harvested from Hiroshima or Nagasaki. So State directed the Japanese suppliers to label their scrap as to city of origin, and include a statement testifying to the fact that it was known to be "radiation-free"! A good proportion of the steel made from this scrap was bought by Chrysler Corp., to turn out its phenomenally popular Virgil Exner-designed "finned models" of 1957-59.

    That void that just stopped near that opening is probably an escape door construction, German bunkers often had a opening somewhere which was closed with a pile of gravel, if they would become trapped because the regular openings are blocked for some reason they could dig away some of the gravel from the bottom and dump it in that void , by digging away from inside the bunker at the bottom of the pile the gravel at the top would slide down in to the bunker and the emergency exit would open op so they could escape the blocked bunker by climbing up on the remaining gravel pile
