Lovely find of an 88mm Flak gun with the travelling carriage and stabilizer mounts, complete with about 25% of the gun barrel. A truly rare find. The barrel still has on it a chain abandoned by the persons who scrapped this 88mm gun some time before.
Fantastic finding that gun! This video reminds me of a place in Wales which me and my dad found in the 90s, it was a British Army training base on the coast called "Camp Iceland". There were many paths and Nissen hut bases in some woods, and smashed 1940s pottery on a nearby beach. I might have to revisit it again. Thanks for the inspiration!
For the inquisitive minds out there, this is NOT a german 88mm flak 36, nor a 41. It's a captured russian 85mm m1939 52-k. The two piece barrel assembly (of which we can see the casing and a barrel, here quite shortened, a pity scince the muzzle break is quite distinctive), the round pods without circular cut-out on the legs which also show the emplacement of the circular plateform at the base of the mount make it an early production model russian 85mm gun, pre-1943 and the switch to monoblock barrel construction. Don't forget that most of ww2 german static defensive positions were mostly equiped with captured equipement, with many autors refering to the atlantic wall as an artillery museum! Nice vid by the way!
Great video. The gun you guys show most certainly is a Flak 88. The short tube on it is the top. That shorter tube is the recoil arresting system. I love watching you go places I will never see otherwise. Thanks.
I would say its a mess hall oven by the lighter clay bricks and also the way the bricks have black soot and the back of the structure is where the metal vents stacks would have come out possibly
Love your intros , very nicely done. Thanks history hunter for all your hard work. Love the black and white photos 💜💜💜💜👍👍👍 did you ever get to do any metal detecting in that area?
Excellent again. The two circular brick constructions could be what in England we call coppers. A fire is built in the bottom through the gap in the base and a large come shaped,found metal bowl, often copper in years past, is placed in the top. This would boil water or cook food. At the back is a flue for the smoke. They were still quite common when I was a child.
That small structure looks like the crapper and the pipe probably was a ventilation system to get rid of the smell and that bucket was what they took out and burnt up with kerosene like was used in Vietnam..
All of these buildings and trenches and wire and concrete....it just blows my mind. The planning and logistics and man power is astounding. I so appreciate these private tours(on the computer in my home) ! And I love how excited Eagle Eyes gets. Still young enough to show his excitement. He is a lucky young man to explore all of this history, especially with his dad. I wish you all safe and healthy travels.
I absolutely love this channel. I live in Oklahoma USA and love that you and Eagle Eyes take me with you to these forgotten places. A snapshot in time. You going to metal detect around the barracks sometime soon? I bet there's some stuff there. Probably personal relics. I get to go on an adventure every time the notification bell sounds off. Come on people, subscribe and click that notification bell
Of all the barracks that you have showed us I would think that there would be either frame work for some of the barracks still standing or a least piles of wood were they have fallen in. I wonder if the locals took the wood to repair homes or building destroyed in the fighting. In your research of these areas do you use old reconnaissance photos with information as to what each building or areas are? Great job from Eagle Eyes on finding all the exciting history.
yes Anthony it was very common for the locals to take whatever they could as revenge for what the Germans took from them. we do use old reconnaissance photos so we know where each structure was. Thanks and more to come :)
4:20 the brick structure with 2 round holes reminds me of an old wash copper, or a permanent version of Soyas field cooker, fire in the lower brick part of each & with a curved bottom metal liner in the top of the brickwork; copper to boil washing in the case of the former or iron/steel for cooking in the latter case. You can see the hole for the chimneys at the back.
It looks like the old tubs for boiling washing that we used to have here in Scotland too . Used to be in little buildings behind houses attached to the outside toilet.
Can't believe there's a gun spot I would restore that gun that is beautiful thank you for these videos I love all your videos I learnt a lot of you videos and thank you eagle eyes 6 thumbs up
Another very adventure, it is also a gigantic complex. 4:15 think of the kitchen stove, the wooden building itself is of course gone. What a cannon, beautiful fond EA.
EE is finding stuff left and right here and you will love the continuation for this location Oma :) Thanks for your great support and greetings from us.
These were your countrymen. As you walk back through time you must feel a kindred spirit & I can appreciate that. As an American I can feel the history as you take me through these places. The gun carriage was a special find. So much to see in the future can't wait.
Great video as always wow that gun was awesome I felt like I wanted to put the gun back on the stand great to see it in is natural place but such a sad condition its just waisting away but you saved it on video thank you for documenting history 👍
An 88 could be used in either the aerial mode or against land targets. One of the few ways that the T-34s outside of Moscow could be destroyed in December, 1941 was with an 88 hitting the rear of the T-34. Hence, the gun crews had to wait for the tanks to pass, without the T-34s noticing them.
AWESOME WAY SHOWING EVERYONE HOW THEY SET UP THESE ARTY CAMPS AND PLACES THE GERMANS SET UP AND HOW THEY OPERATED LIKE A SMALL ARMY CAMP , THAT GUN LOOKED TO BE A 75mm , OF COURSE THEY WOULD TRY TO GET ALONG WITH THE LOCALS CUZ THEY DIDN'T WANNA WASTE MANPOWER ON FIGHTING AND HAVING TO WATCH THEIR BACKS , CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT THIS PLACE WAS DEFENDING IT WASN'T THEIR FOR NO REASON , TAKE CARE BROTHER 🤘🤘🤘
IT is a great location my friend , so many details to look at and you will surely enjoy the continuation of that location :) Thanks for your great support and greetings from us.
The Vichy regime imposed a compulsory labor system, drafting some 600,000 French workers to construct these permanent fortifications along the Dutch, Belgian, and French coasts facing the English Channel. There was a shortage of manpower to actually man these locations, so conscripted prisoners of war were used. Believe it or not.
Yes, there is the story out there about the Korean captured by Russia and forced to fight, who was then captured by the Germans and forced to fight on the French coast, and who was subsequently captured by the British who did not make him fight! What a messy sick world we live in. Uncovering history is priceless, covering it up is criminal. Let the bricks fall where they may.
Outstanding, all the thought, planning and strategies put into the building of this military site. Definitely looked like expert tradesmen/military architects/engineers were involved in the construction seeing the detailed brick formations and designs. This wasn't your everyday craftsmen I would think. Yes would imagine many personal interactions took place in the big Mess Hall. Sharing of family stories, dreams, goals, struggles, and many other topics human beings share when brought together. I would not be surprised if music was played while soldiers carried on a game of cards, smoking a cigarette, pipe, or cigar over a mug of beer or glass of wine. That Ness Hall holds a lot of memories. What a find in regards to the Flak 88 . A shame it wasn't still on it's original Turret mount. It looked in good condition. What would we do without EE finding all these hidden gems ? A very strategic place for the Crew Shelter behind the tree carved in the mountain. Safe place as any. Thanks again for another interesting video HH & ER. History IS everywhere. I will be awaiting my Flak 88 mounted on a Turret diorama. You know my address HH & EE. Kidding of course. I don't need to say stay safe, but please do.
The 88 is just one of the guns there and we will share more soon and i think you will love that Laura. EE was very busy there and i hear her , her , ad here all over again as he found so much. Made me laugh thinking about it :) Thanks Laura and stay safe.
Once again you and Eagle Eyes have brought us some wonderful video's. You have one heck of a son. I know you are very proud of him. Thank you for the wonderful video. Happy History Hunting your CZcams friend Grant or biggerbehindthetrigger.😁
Thank you for the adventure and seeing some awesome finds especially the gun ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever you , Eagle Eye and Bunker Buster Girl maybe doing next ! Doing well here in Kansas just getting a little rain here today .
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing and can't wait for the next video with this site. I do have to laugh at the chain wrapped around the gun. I mean, someone trying to keep there? All you need is a chain cutter. I'm still laughing about it
Well there are some obstacles geting it out of there i can tell you but i agree but then again why would people bother. Thanks Colleen and greetings from us.
This looks like a truly amazing site and I just got through the intro. Great to see your son out with you exploring. The amount of effort to build the structures if maintained throughout the period from built to now would probably be in very good condition, they look well-engineered and mostly bypassed when allied forces pushed in, in stark contrast to how modern battles are fought like a castle type structure meets modern warfare.
Such a fantastic place, thank you and EE for part 2. Can`t wait to see the next episode, its got to be just as amazing. Hope all is well, stay safe my friend.
Wow. That's just WOW! To see that Flak 88 just laying there. That's is just an amazing find. Well done EE! And an unusual 88 too, with those large fixtures on the cruciform base. Something you don't see on existing museum 88's. Would love to do some metal detecting around those barracks. Another fantastic video, absolutely amazing site to explore. Cannot wait to see what else that location has in store. Cheers, and thanks again! Stay dry :)
Thank you very much Peter and yes a FLAK 88 is very rare to find out there for sure. Great place and we will show more greatness from that location. Thanks
Possibly my favourite CZcams channel. Never ceases to amaze and inform, and I especially appreciate the superb drone footage when used. This site looks like it could be explored for days without finding everything of interest. Fantastic viewing as always
His and hers out house 👍 love this video thanks for sharing, looked like the scrap metal guys were half way through cutting up that gun , keep up the good work you and your offsider I love the places you take us 👍🇦🇺
Nice exploration ! That big structure/building (foundation and walls...)... the bigger structure... the more difficult to hide from aircraft observers and bombers... hmm... that big building could have 'revealed' the position of the entire military complex... Interesting those 'caves'... Those access ways inside... look to narrow for a crew of 10/15 soldiers... also thinking about they carried shells, ammo crates... Also those 'caves' could have been a trap for the crew... in the case of a bombing raid... Anyway... thank you for sharing !
Incredible, it blows my mind that stuff like that is still out there waiting to be found. I'm not sure what use that chain is though. Thanks for sharing 👍
The chain is probably used to keep people from coming and stealing pieces of the gun ! Since the barrel is laying there with it and chain is around the barrel laying on the base !
If someone came to steel parts of that gun I doubt that chain is going to stand up to any sort of attack by a tooled up tea leaf. If they've got the equipment to steel parts they've got the equipment to break that chain
Thank you for another fantastic film History Hunter and Eagle Eyes the gun was a real gem.& I'm looking foreword to see what else you found in the next film 👍🏼
Thank you so much! Keep those ticks off! Stay safe! You and the children! God Bless.
Thanks a lot Buz for taking time to comment and watch.

It’s so noce to watvh this i wish i could metal detect to i live in belguim on the coast on the Atlantic wall

Seemed to be a lot of salvaged bricks used in the barrack foundation. That said, the workmanship seemed quite good.
Great place and glad we could share it with you. Greetings from us.

That was actually an 88mm anti aircraft gun.
How great and thanks Greg

Love your intros , very nicely done. Thanks history hunter for all your hard work. Love the black and white photos 💜💜💜💜👍👍👍 did you ever get to do any metal detecting in that area?
WE did some MD there and we will see if we can share that with you later Wendy. Thanks and greetings from us.
the lines in the barrel of the gun is called rifling
Good to know and thanks.
Very neet. Can't wait to see more
More to come soon Bill :)
Those two holes u thought were ovens were probably boiler tanks used for heating
That could be it yes. Thanks.

The gun is a Flak 28 Foundation and gun it is a Bofrors 40 mm Anti aircraft gun in use by the Germans they called it 40 mm Flak 28
Thanks for watching.
That small structure looks like the crapper and the pipe probably was a ventilation system to get rid of the smell and that bucket was what they took out and burnt up with kerosene like was used in Vietnam..
That could very much be it my friend and we will show more soon :)
Amazing how nature reclaims these areas after just 80 years. Soon there won’t be anything left.
I agree and glad we can share it with you :)

They use blind brick layers ?
4:04 looks like a brick built Goulash Cannon. Used something very similar when I was in the Army to prepare hot feeds for horses!
ok and thanks for comment and for watching.
The lines in the barrel of the gun are called rifling. Very impressive installation. 👍
Good to know and thanks James :)

Gun is definitely a m1936 88mm. I can tell by mount.

Used to be in little buildings behind houses attached to the outside toilet.
Its always sad to see equipment like that rotting in the elements instead of be saved
Thanks for watching.
That gun was sooo cool. What an exciting find. I wonder who chained it. I love this spot. Thank you both.
Lots more to come and thanks Skimmer :)
Amazing how nature can take over again, great video, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it and nature will probably remove any traces there , just give it enough time. Greetings from us and stay safe down there.

Not something you see very often, guns still there. Very cool to see.
Indeed and you will love what is coming up soon , the real complete guns there...

Hot water ran through pipes to buildings and they would have radiators in rooms for heat
Most likely yes. Thanks for comment and for watching.
