What an incredible location. And to think there were three of these enormous guns there. These would have dominated such a massive area of sea and land all around. Just loved the generator room in the "basement". Being able to actually see the mountings for the diesel generator, and one of the main switchboards still there, with all the other bits and pieces lying around, was just amazing. It really gives you an idea of what that room would have been like before it was salvaged after the war. The narrow passage leading to the gun was most likely the main power cable run to the gun turret itself, with access ladders for the engineers, for maintenance and repairs. Thank you for sharing this fascinating construction. Looking forward to seeing what else this location has to share with us! Cheers to you both! Stay safe!
This was an enormous facility! Imagine the soldiers necessary to man and arm this gun...dazzles the imagination! Thank you for allowing me to step back into history!❤
That was impressive. The basement was a nice surprise. I'm lost for words on this one. Thank you and EE for the tour and can't wait for part 2. Take care and stay safe my friend.
Incredible fortification, must be loads to see out there. Switchgear was impressive, shame it gets all ripped out and we don't get to see what it was really like. At 14:00, the corridor may be a cable / pipe raceway, put there to allow the cables and pipes to be routed around to the different areas in the bunker.
That bunker is HUGE!!! That photo of the complex being constructed was very interesting. The gantry system throughout some of the bunker areas were engineered very well for shell movement. Too bad all the track on the floor was removed. The "basement" was a mess but contained some period artifacts that were still place! I am surprised they had not been completely removed. I wonder how they removed that large diesel engine, I guess they disassembled it. The movement of the materials during firing of this huge gun would have taken quite a few men to make it work. I can imagine that these concrete buildings will last for centuries. Thanks for taking us along to this location!
hey guys a big shout out from the uk. another great video cant wait to see what else you have seen at that location. yous are so informative and respectfull at all these sites please keep making these great videos
Can believe there is still equipment in the bunker. That electrical panel was huge. I loved going on adventures like this when I was younger. I bet the temperature change from outside of the bunker compared to the inside is a big difference. Appears this location is not visited a lot as I really didn’t notice any graffiti. How big was base itself? Had to be hundreds of troops here to help support and defend this gun. Another interesting location.
Always so cool when stuff like that is still there. yes a big difference in temperature often. Not much crap around here and that is so good to see. Several square kilometer it covered. Lots of troops as well. Thanks Anthony :)
@WW2HistoryHunter everyone is welcome was a little busy yesterday working at the voting place for 17 hours but today I am relaxing my friends and TRUMP won we saved America from the Communist leader
David - I believe some of these fortifications were targeted by Allied bombers and naval gunfire but most weren't in this area. After the war, they made futile attempts to destroy some of them with explosives, too.

That was huge ! I can't Imagine how loud that gun was. Super video guys
Loved that explore and thanks so much from us :)
Thanks for sharing, the basement was an added bonus for you 👌
No problem 👍

Totally so Cynthia and what a location. Will share 3 ore episodes later from this area. Thanks and keep smiling :)

Yes always love to see all the electrical stuff in there. i see and thanks for tip my friend :)
That’s Awesome video Thanks for sharing Can’t wait for the next one

loved it Donald , just loved it. More to come and thanks so much from us :)
That is a HUGE bunker. Amazing. Good stuff to come too .. thankyou again !
A most interesting video guys, you really bring history to life and go to places of historical importance we would never see , thank you.
Reminds me of the Mirus battery on the island of Guernsey that I sneaked into 15 years ago, no1 gun pit I think. Great work boys, cheers
I know Mirus well! A very interesting site.. Visited 3 of the 4 emplacements of the site and done some documentation work there.
Thanks for watching.
Wonderful Video. Looks like a Bunkersystem similar to the DK-7730 Museum type....
hey guys a big shout out from the uk.
another great video cant wait to see what else you have seen at that location.
yous are so informative and respectfull at all these sites please keep making these great videos
Very cool explore. I want a bunker like that for home defense.
Build one :) Thanks.
@@WW2HistoryHunter LMAO at that one , good reply . 😂
That was an incredible find, take care.

Thanks for sharing
Fantastic location. Thank you for sharing with us.
Appreciated Bob :)
This place was an interesting explore. Quite a large complex... I wonder how many cubic yards of concrete it took to make it!
Will share at least 3 more videos from this area later. Thanks.
Wow now that is a bunker! Brilliant stuff
Appreciated and thanks my friend :)
Thank you for the history!
Our pleasure!
So intresting!
As always.
Thanks again!
21:48, the eco😮 i wonder what it sounded like when the gun went off!!!! Then.😅
Must have been loud yes. Thanks for watching.
Is the layout similar to that in Trondenes ?
Looking forward to seeing more history. 😎❤️✌️👍
You and me both!
Wow! That was a great tour.
Yes it was!
Incredable gun position !!!
Great explore and thank for watching.
another great video thank you.
@WW2HistoryHunter - are any of these gun emplacements on private property with homes nearby?
Some are. Thanks.
Water always seems to leak into those bunkers. Be safe out there.
yes always. Thanks.
Hello im a fan of ww2 do you know the age restriction for reenactment
Amazing 😮
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks :)
that's 30 miles .... damn that's far ...
i think hitler is still there under that bunker....
You can't be serious
ok and thanks for watching.
If you’re right he must have a long white beard by now.
another great location 👍👍👍
Great explore. Thanks.
Minus battery. They have these on the island of Guernsey. Hope this helps
ok and thanks for watching.
Outstanding adventures everyone
Appreciated Earl :)
@WW2HistoryHunter everyone is welcome was a little busy yesterday working at the voting place for 17 hours but today I am relaxing my friends and TRUMP won we saved America from the Communist leader
How did they get the gun up there,and in place.
Lots of work it was. Thanks.
Incredible building, made to last and very well protected. They were lightyears ahead in construction and weaponry
Appreciate you watching :)
@WW2HistoryHunter I have to have my daily fix of this channel 😊
hi
The testament to thousands of unnamed souls who were forced against their wiĺl to build these entities 😢
Thanks for watching.
Name of the battery?
Thank for watching.
was it attacked by Allies ????
David - I believe some of these fortifications were targeted by Allied bombers and naval gunfire but most weren't in this area. After the war, they made futile attempts to destroy some of them with explosives, too.
Some were not all. Thanks.
🎖️🏆🙏⭐❤️🩹🛐
Thank you for sharing this
All our pleasure.
German engineering and brilliance right there.
Thanks for watching :)
Unfortunately I’m listening on mobile and can’t hear the echoes… not even with headphones.
ok and thanks for watching.
It should say Mirus
ok
hopefully you guys don't come across a Nazi Zombie ...
🇺🇸⬇🚽
Thanks for watching.
👋👍👍👍🇸🇪
