As an old had rock miner I wish you would have got a closeup of that stuff on the walls . It looked like a natural form of asbestos. It needs moisture to live and grow. It can be from a light gray to a very bright silver in color. If you were wearing a good air monitor it would have picked it up. Just like man made asbestos it will attach it's self to you lungs. I would suggest that you invest in some good quality air monitoring meters or at least a filtered respirators . Anything from a with growth on won wood to what you found on those walls is not good for you. Please be careful I'm not trying to be Mr. Gloom and Doom just a guy with many many years working in mines
Thanks for feedback and for watching.
@@WW2HistoryHunter at least wear a mask !
Awesome video my friend, really interesting to see! Thanks for sharing again, stay safe, and keep it up!! :)
show us more :-)
Thanks for the visit my friend and greetings from us.
How you doin NICK!! :)
@@ww2reviews326 I'm fine thanks! And you? :)
@@History-Secrets Doing well mate, how you doing with covid going around lol :)
Love your enthusiasm in all of your productions. Your creating history by documenting lost and forgotten tunnels like this.
Appreciated and greetings from us.
Love it!!!!!!! Someday I wish to come over and do some exploring myself! You guys are awesome and I’ve never missed a single video! Thank you so much for sharing!
Appreciated my friend.
did you check at the end of the tunel how deep that puddle was ? maybe the tunnel headed down and it was flooded .
Never though of that actually and you could be right. Thanks.
If it is flood maybe take your little submarine down in it a little ways !
Watching that give me the chills. We all learned that most of these tunnels were created by prisoner or forced labor that were worked to death. So it is amazing, but also a testament to monster activity.
Thanks for watching.
There is no steel or wood shoring to support the tunnel . IMO , very little explosives were used and I imagine pneumatic / air chisels and hammers . The metric tons of stone removed is phenomenal and a superior geologist and engineer were utilized . The silvery substance is quite odd and not like a buildup of calcite or other minerals . An engineering marvel and thanks for the input on torches / "flashlights" used . Respect sent .
yes , totally insane what they did there. Thanks and greetings from us.
Drums, drums in the deep. The Balrog is coming with his army.
He he , you never know :)
Drums, drums in the deep, I would have been running out of that cave and no looking back!!
Amazing structure, the tunnels. It always makes me think what it would be used for back than, and also what life would have been for the soldiers occupying these positions.
Again, thanks for making these trips and sharing it on CZcams. I'm a big fan, and always waiting for the next video to be published.
Appreciated Robin and greetings from us.
My grandfather was a miner and he called those noises in the California gold mines "tommyknockers" - lots of superstition behind them and I am certain there were equivalent names in German mining operations. The rocks you saw stacked up in that first side tunnel are called "gobbing" where the excess rock is either used to construct walls to get it out of the way or back-fill a tunnel to be closed off. Great video and Holy Madonna! - lol
Thanks for feedback an for watching.
Eagle Eyes strikes again! Nice Job finding that amazing tunnel Eagle Eyes! Thumbs Up!!!!
Thanks again Dave
@@WW2HistoryHunter You and your kids are so great with one another. As a Dad I can relate to your relationships and its so great to be involved as one of your subscribers! Keep the great vids coming! Much love from Coventry Rhode Island.
Excellent find, EE strikes again. Some nice hard-rock mining. I believe the elderly gentleman is correct. The first place you found that you figured was a tunnel system my actually progress further. That area is an erosion cave-in just by the water still running in. Need to get you another tool for the tunnel work. Stay safe.
Great location and there could be more then we see there. Thanks William and more to come soon :)
Thank you for taking us along and keeping History Alive love your videos
Our pleasure!
Thanks for bringing us all alone on your adventures in the hunt for history wow plz plz keep them coming
Will do!
You should get a UV flashlight, turn off the lights, and see if any mineral veins glow.
Yep
Very good idea and i will look into that. Thanks
Thanks again for allowing me to explore with you while sitting on my backside drinking a beer. I thought it was strange that loose rocks were piled up around the entrance of the 2nd 'room' when all of the other debris had been removed during construction. Maybe something under there, hidden at a later date?
well you never know. Thanks Martin
Love y’all’s work. Thanks for the gift of knowledge
Thanks for watching!
Wow what a great location!! Thanks History Hunter!!!
Glad you enjoyed it and this location will reveal more. Thanks my friend.
@@WW2HistoryHunter Awsome!!! Can't Wait!!!
That other side they dug out was a, drift. The stacked rocks would be called, gobbing. They stack rocks there so they don't have to haul them outside, it is easier.
Thanks for feedback and for watching.
Excellent series HH and EE. Those underground locations are fascinating. Can't support you with more than comments, pocketbook won't allow more than being a faithful follower.
Much appreciated!
This is so cool! The ingenuity and tenacity of the German war machine are, often times, forgotten, eclipsed by their crimes against humanity. But all these things are a testament, not only to their drive, but to their willpower as well. I mean, tunneling straight through mountains! That's no small feat, and in such a relatively short period of time too!
Thanks and appreciate you taking time to comment and watch.
Great video and what an amazing tunnel. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
Really great tour, one of these times you may find gold or artworks.
Fingers crossed!
Fascinating. I think eagle eyes is becoming a star. Great job n thanks for showing the power line hooks.
Thanks for watching!
Another amazing video .Thanks for sharing.Always looking forward to the next adventure.Stay safe.
Glad you enjoyed it Bryan and more to come soon :)
Catching up video #3 lol!! uh-ohlight is awesome!! Love the tunnel videos. Can't imagine how much work goes into making these tunnels. Freaky sounds down there for sure!! Thank's for sharing!!
Thanks so much Joshua and yes those locations are truly amazing to visit and very glad we can share that with you :)
Thank you for taking all of us with you, I love the adventure 👏👏👏👏👏
Our pleasure!
The cave was creating its own weather! Amazing 👏
In a way yes and how cool to see. Thanks Matt.
That intro music got my morning pumped up.
Good to hear and thanks :)
Awesome tunnels and video. Thanks for your work in bringing it to us.
My pleasure!
Another excellent series of secret WW2 tunnels keep them coming please !
More to come later :)
I am a big ww2 addict. I enjoy all your videos and love to see the things you find. I recently ran across a nazi youth pin in an local antique shop of all places. Picked it up and added it to my collection army feild manuals from 41 and 43. And reproduction feild rations
Thanks for watching
This location is so amazing, Thank you so much for all your hard work. Can`t wait to see what EE finds in the up coming episode.
Very glad to read that Allen and greetings from us.
Hello again. What an incredible tunnel system and amazing engineering. Could this actually be some old mine workings?
Are there any other treasures hidden in the area which are covered?
Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes, Paul in Lower Boddington UK
No mines , all made for and by the German war machine. Thanks
In Belgium, just south of the Dutch city Maastricht, is Fort Eben-Emael. Its supposed to be one of the strongest fortresses in Europe (fun fact, the Germans conquered it well within an hour) and it has a secret tunnel for supplying I guess. Maybe its worth exploring
Thanks for sharing and for watching.
That mist is weird, Ive never came across that in a cave or tunnel before . Thanks as normal
Very special thing it was yes. Thanks Phillip
Haunted?
Awesome find guys thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see more .👍
Thanks for watching!
Great vid👍
Thanks Kevin
With all the tunnel exploring, you need someone to donate a 4 gas meter. Confined spaces can be a killer. I very much enjoy your videos!!
Thanks my friend and good idea.
Great! Thank you for share with us this video.
My pleasure!
Wow what a fantastic location HH.
What great find and to discover all those tunnels and having the opportunity to explore them, what a privilege.
Please keep doing what you are best at, providing Us with great videos.
John B.
Glad you enjoyed it John and greetings from us.
Guten Tag aus Portland, Oregon, USA! I noticed a small opening in the tunnel system that I don’t think you explored in your video posted on Oktober 8th, 2020. It shows up around 05:22 minutes and the small, maybe 1 Meter x 1 Meter square opening is located in the left-hand side of the tunnel near the floor. I think it is the same opening that also appears in the right-hand side of the tunnel at 09:50 minutes in to your video. Ein großes Dankeschön for all the content that you have posted on CZcams, Auf Wiedersehen!
Will look into it more and thanks Tim
Totally awesome!!!! I'd be afraid of rock slides, old booby traps and bats, I cannot stand bats. Chickamauga, Georgia is a huge civil war battlefield, Cherokee for Place of Death, we used to camp there in high school, park rangers had a sense of humor with us, they dressed in period uniforms, spooked us kids all night. It gets pitch black too, rolling low fog, Snodgrass Hill was the bloodiest fighting in the campaign. Gen. Rosecrans held the confederates off from Rossville leading to Chattanooga, Tennessee, CSA Gen. Bragg blew it at Missionary ridge.
sound like good times if you ask me :) Thanks William for sharing :)
Unbelievable!! What a amazing find!! I listened to your video when you heard the noise. I could hear it too did the noise sound like it was inside the tunnel? Thanks for sharing and be safe!
It was pretty scary and one could easily hear the knocking inside and we dont understand what that was. Thanks joe.
Incredible!!!
Thanks my friend.
Great explore - thanks for vids -
Best wishes from Ireland .
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice find thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Awsom looking forward to the next part can't wait 👍🏼🇬🇧
Coming soon!
Holy pancake I love it well done guys xx
thank you my friend :)
Brilliant series.
Thanks Andrew
These tunnel systems are fascinating, one can only wonder what grand plans they had when they put in such a huge labour and time investment into building them. Can't wait to see more, keep safe guys
Thanks Colin
The rocks piled up in the tunnel may have been from digging out the tunnel and never got carried out. This location may have never been finished because they pulled the troops out to send to locations were they were needed. That thumping sound may be the ghost of soldiers finishing the tunnels lol. Very cool location. Watching Eagle Eyes walk beside you at the beginning of the video show how big he is. One day you’ll be telling him yes sir lol. Enjoy your time together with him and Bunker Buster Girl as they grow up fast.
That sound really scared me being there and i still wonder what it was. I do know that he will be so much taller then me when he grows up , at least i think so and then perhaps a Sir is needed :) Thanks my friend.
looks like they started excavating side areas out,possibly for arms or underground building off arms as allies were giving Germans headache above ground.this happened in many areas, still underground tunnels been found even to this day.ive started watching ur videos outta curiosity.quality is excellent.shame they not longer :)
keep ur eyes open for letters or numbers to entrance many were numbered
Appreciate you watching Amanda
What an engineering feat that tunnel is. Wonder what the purpose for it was?
I wonder that too. Great location and glad i we could share it with you.
A couple of Welshmen, a pick and a shovel. Nay problem!
With that little room just inside my first thought was ammo bunker !
Holy Kadoni!! Love it!!
Thanks Michael and greetings from us.
Is there ever an opportunity to metal detect those tunnels? Seems like soldiers might drop lots of stuff down there.
Could be. Thanks my friend.
One of these days I’m going to come visit and go explore one of these ww2 remnants
Appreciate you watching.
That really is an extensive tunnel system. Would be good if there were more clues left behind, as to what use they had.
doesnt really look extensive lol, paris catacombs or limestone mines in netherlands are extensive, not this tunnel which goes in maybe 100meter.
Thanks Chris
How in the world did they did through all that rock? And what kind of equipment did they use? Plus they had to remove all the rock as they dug through. That is incredible.
I think they drilled and blasted in small portions ? Thanks Joe.
@@WW2HistoryHunter They were pretty good with the blasting.
You’re the coolest Dad ever!
Wow thanks for that and for watching.
@@WW2HistoryHunter :D
That was fantastic, very strange rumbling sound 👻👻. Did you ever figure out what that tunnel was for. Thanks guys 💜💜💜👍👍👍
How did they do that? Forced labour more than likely. Due to the consistent allied bombing raids night and day, the nazis usually built tunnels to hide and store ammunition, so I think it was more than likely an ammo storage tunnel, hence all the side small alcoves, with potentially prisoners also manufacturing ammunition.
Thanks for watching
The stacks of rock if in a mine are called Gobbing .
ok good to know and thanks.
@@WW2HistoryHunter I was wondering if they were stacked up there because maybe there was a machine gun set up there or something? To greet any unwelcome intruders...
hugh great find .....i ma breath less and how thy do it just believeble ...looking and wait for the ather one ..
You and me both!
Yoo historyhunter a nother good video 😀👍 I like it nice
Glad you enjoyed
That was a big tunnel system, guess they still were working on it, cheers brother & eagle eye too !...........
Great location and greetings from us Kirk
You are so good at putting pieces of the puzzle together.Awesome adventure. Stay safe.🖒🖒💖🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
is crazy to think how many hours it would take to make some thing like that
I agree , so much work involved. Thanks for comment and for watching.
Thank you for sharing this awesome adventure seeing stuff from WWII ! Take care , stay safe and healthy with whatever or wherever you guys maybe doing or going next ! Doing well here in Kansas . I hope that soon I can become a patron ! I live alone on a 24 acres farm and a disabled veteran !
We appreciate your support greatly and greetings to Kansas.
Another amazing video to watch 😁 time for a ☕️
Yay! Thank you!
@@WW2HistoryHunter You’re welcome my friend 👍 Keep up the amazing work 😊
Now that is a flash light.
i will agree and love those lights.Thanks for watching.
Cool tunnel.
Great location and thanks for visiting.
Looks like a exploration tunnel wich are made before a larger tunnels to just check the consistence of the material.
could be i wouldnt know. Thanks.
Sweet! So looking forward to seeing the next one!!! Would love to join along
Awesome! Thank you!
Shame you didn't have an underwater drone to drop into that puddle. Just to see if the tunnel drop down and extends further but flooded
Not a bad idea actually. Thanks
Now that's an amazing piece of lost History. Obviously they never got around to finishing that tunnel, but it looks like it was planned to go much further on. Those rock piles at the entrance to the second room look like spoil from the room itself waiting for someone to take them away. My friends, I checked the video twice, but couldn't see any sign of another room. Perhaps someone mistook the filled in entrance, as the start of that walled up room? Would love to know what they had planned. So amazing. Thank you both for getting your feet muddy, :) and showing us this truly fascinating place. Cheers! to you all, Stay Safe!
i think it was never finished in some way and i think they had more plans fo rthe area and location. Thanks and greetings from us.
That is just amazing! Where's the hidden treasure!!!???
Fantastic place indeed and loved finding that. Thanks my friend.
Another great adventure WW2HH! A lot of ‘Holy Madonna’ moments there, as well as a ‘Holy Pancakes’ moment! Can’t wait for the next episode.
It is hard to imagine the amount of labour that was required to form these tunnels back then, and I assume it was forced labour as well, given the time and place.
Tell me do you and Eagle Eye wear face masks when exploring these tunnels and bunkers? It seems that it would be a sensible precaution.
Cheers from Australia!
Some locations are only visited with correct gear. This one had very well ventilation so no worries for us. Thanks for comment and for watching.
Fitting musical intro with the two of you arms a swinging, on your way to yet an another WW2 history adventure. Way to go EE! Of course you were right, something of interest was there for you to discover. What a huge tunnel, so well constructed. Many of the WW2 German tunnels, bunkers, barracks, and other structures were built by German soldiers and/or professional tradesmen working together not forced labour/labor. Must have taken a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, with plenty of swear words. Definitely not an expert on rock formations or minerals, but could the silver grey streaks be Basalt? It's a very hard rock used in construction. Looks like some unfinished business with the completion. I could actually hear the moisture droplets fall on your clothing. I am thinking the knocking sound was a shifting of the rock formation, but what do I know. Come on Dad let EE toss a flashlight in the water to test it's capabilities. You just may need to know for future reference. Once again, you pulled it off HH and EE. Thanks for sharing. We want more. Stay safe.
He he , EE has tried to end the life of many of the Olights and he hasnt succeded yet :). Well he has a plan he says to do that one day. Great underworld place and the knocking sound was more then exciting for us and we talked about that for a long time. We will hopefully show more later. Thanks Laura and stay safe :)
German ghosts 👻👻 banging to get out,ha ha, great content as usual.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Anthony
Or Tommyknockers!! (a la Stephen King)
When I watch the intro, I think: every episode is an adventure.
If it is in a tunnel, there is an entrance and exit, so it is correct because you will come to the collapsed entrance.
The first time I see water droplets in the light of a flashlight.
11:50 You say train and it's like one passes by.
yes the droplets was pretty cool to watch. Should have found a train in there , that would have been great. Thanks Oma and more to come soon.
@@WW2HistoryHunter This way you come across sounds that may come from the past.
Knocking noise? You sure you haven't woken up the Balrog? 😁
Not at all :)
Just imagine if there is an active landmines.... 🧐 got a goose bumps...
Well , there are very rarely such a thing in such place but actually you can never be 110 % sure. Thanks
huge knocking sound?
may have been a Tommy-knocker 😂
Seriously though, it could be an indication of a hollow void behind the wall or under the floor.
May be worth taking an iron pry-bar in there with you to tap the walls/maybe the floor and listen for changes in the pitch of the sound as you walk along tapping.
Maybe there's a well hidden room somewhere in there
Could be
Are you not allowed to metal detect around this area? Enjoyed! Miss the artifacts though!
Well you never know what is up next :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter Good! High suspense!
Amazing features looks like they never got to finish the tunnels
i think you are right and they had more plans as well :) Thanks Karl.
Now that was interesting, sounded like a big gun firing, but think that was a echo of ypur footsteps you hear near the end. Your really should take a psb7 evp recorder with you see what you pick up
ok and tanks for info and for watching.
Just wondering if there's any artifacts on the floor like buttons and cartridges great video
Most likely there is. Thanks.
In the United States they call that a Tommyknocker the noise
Hm , well now i know : )Thanks
Hi hope you are well
Just wanted to let you know your videos are great and I always enjoy watching them .
Love your submersible it's cool .
Your son On as natural luck he finds so much good stuff
My son is the same I just follow in his shadow lol
Anyway keep up the great videos guys .
Are you filming in France as we always wonder what country you guys are from
All the best
Glad you like them and greetings from us.
Looks more like an old mine, predating WW2.
no , only made by and for the Germann war machine. Thanks
I don’t remember exactly which one it was, but when you looked down one of the dug out areas in the tunnel, one of the wall on the left of the dug out looked liked it had a very smooth wall. I wonder if that was the feature the older gentleman said had gotten sealed up? I noticed at the other entrance that was blocked had a lot of water on the floor. Were you able to get to the very end to see if it continued? I didn’t really hear the thumping noise on the video so no telling what it was. Maybe ghost of the workers still working there lol. Hope Eagle Eyes wasn’t to scared.
yes it could be one of the sealed off tunnel part that is supposedly be here. Thanks Anthony.
👍👍👍Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
ghosts of WW2
Who know :)
My same thought.
Hey Eagle Eyes that knocking booming sound un-nerved me when I heard it.
he says yes it did and who knows what that could be. Very strange. Thanks Lorele for your great support and greetings from us.
I read through more then a dozen comments did you ever figure out what the silver stuff was? A mineral or a fungus and what one? Greetings from idaho in the states!
no i didnt actually but lots of suggestions. Thanks
I could not go. I would freak out I would get lost
Can be a bit scary sometimes. Thanks Maria.
That was amazing!
Thanks John.
Keep exploring.👍
Thank you, I will
Holy Pancake! That's a new one! Love the video. Cant wait for more! Be well
Hope you enjoy!
