- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ส.ค. 2021
- In this episode I will take you through one of the absolute largest WW2 underground constructions, the tunnels at Ebensee Stolle A code maned Zement. and we will compare the coverups by visiting the Quarz tunnels also. Also very important I will introduce you to a very special Engineer the main operator of General Hans Kammler, and his post war career may surprise you, the dots are connecting but for me to build the case of what they could have done and what must be hidden, we need to look at what they did do that we can sneak into.
So join me for a walk down WW2 history lane and the muddy underground road of Kammler's largest tunnel system. - บันเทิง
A German farmer in the late 1970s was ploughing his field when hi tractor 🚜 fell through a giant hole and he ended in an underground TIGER tank factory with tanks still on the assembly line
I have hear stories like this, still hoping one day to find such a hole.... but will cry a little as I call it in..
Interesting, are there any links available?
@@angelsone-five7912 I'm sure I read the article in a news paper probably in the middle 80s the daily record maybe check their archives
@@tinostruckmann Hopefully you Crawl in one not FALL into one..
I hope the tanks were saved and possibly finished 😀
Tino: The people at the Zementfabrik will never get rid of me.
Fabrik: We can make rather large shoes...
Great narration!
If I had stood still in some of that mud I might still be there... lol
Tito, the journey you takes us on every episode is incredible. It’s amazing how you can make an 1 3/4 hr show last what seems like 30 minutes. Thanks so much for bringing us these adventures. Bravo.
I can't find a reference I read, but I do remember reading that one of the reasons some of the German concrete lasted so long was the use of foundry slag as aggregate. The longevity was a side effect of reccyling the slag. As I remember, the slag is alkaline, and counters the effect of the CO2 , naturally generated in the concrete, forming carbonic acid with water, and slowly corroding the rebar, the formed carbonates making the rebar swell and split the concrete, (one of the types of 'concrete cancer').
I find it interesting that most of the concrete Tino shows in tunnels is in such good shape for its age. In this video when he panned across the concrete the surface looked liked it was composed of an entirely different aggregate than what is poured and formed today. To me it looked more like the mix design for cinder block or expanded aggregate in light weight block. I agree corroding rebar plays a major role concrete degradation. I would think someone would investigate what they used and adapt it for present day use.
That was bothering me all the time. I remember ww2 concrete structures holding up for decades in Eastern Block. Here in The States buildings turn into pile of rubble in 40 years. Must be something about the mix.
In the 1970s I used to play in the wartime bunkers on the Cornish coast. Rough and ready, sea pebble aggregate, virtually indestructible apparently like the anti-tank obstacles that lined the beaches
Doubt they built them..more like they discovered them*
Search Tartaria... To date the concrete used in these ancient megalith building can not be replicated.
You’ve got to have the most comprehensive channel regarding wwII german history. Especially regarding kammler. So fascinating
Without a doubt one of, if not the best channel for exploring ww2 remains.
Thank you for your work on bringing the history of the second world war to us, I am a lifetime fan of WW2 history and I consume it at a massive rate so when I came across your channel, I was elated to see it and I can see your passion for it, I have the same amount of passion and I wish I could travel like you do, but unfortunately for me, Mother Nature has decided that an active lifestyle wasn't for me and left me handicapped, so I travel vicariously through many TH-camrs. I totally enjoy your channels and your videos, and I am also glad to hear a fellow German pronouncing German words properly and with the correct inflections Well done sir! and Tanks again for your work!
thank you for saying so - I did Americanize one name I remember but did not have time to change it lol - but it is annoying when things are mispronounced to much:-)
Same here, older and crippled up over the years. Just traveling the world and getting access to so many different sites would be impossible for one person. But..........imagine if you were rich and had an interest in a multitude of mysteries. Watching these guys/gals on youtube/etc is like having a private army of investigators out in the field bringing back all this info to us. I have to go work on my plans for world dominion now, later!
@@tinostruckmann hi my uncle James Matthew was captured at ST valery he was with the black watch he was eventually put to work in coal mines owned by Hermann Goring after he had worked there for over a number of years he and many others were moved in trucks for days into Poland to work on underground tunnels but to the day he died he never new where abouts in Poland he was he ended up in camp 21 D I think that was in poznan his original camp was in Teschen
Tito you have outdone yourself again in showing hidden history. Thank you for your time and effort to bring these structures to light and share with us.
YES! It's almost THAT time again; popcorn and beer will be at the ready. :) What a great great series this is, thank you for all the hard work and passion you put into it Tino. Greetings from Rotterdam, The Netherlands! :))
Evert, you are right: hard work and passion from Tino. Please have a beer for me. Greetings from Mexico City.
He’s gonna sell all this to Netflix one day I bet. So interesting and well done.
Wow those tunnels are big enough you could easily fly your drone in there. Wild
Tino this a truly amazing body of work you have put together on this channel and it’s just getting better and better, the research time and not to mention the editing time must have been enormous. Note the difference in height in these tunnels that don’t have the provision for a second floor or space for utilities that tells me they were built to manufacture something tall but strangely none of the finished sections had a provision for a gantry crane for assembly. The buildings looked like insulated tanks to me ,no doors just inspection hatches and pipe flanges on the top, the concrete columns with the angle on one side look to be foundations for a round tank or material hopper , the wooden pegs in the tops would have been removed and threaded steel rod grouted in. But until you unearth the plans we will never be sure. Thanks once again 👍 My only complaint is that I watched the episode with the meatloaf sandwich and I can’t get it out of my head! Delicious 😀
its a good think I did not do an episode of the Austrian Schnitzel I had a few off .... sooooo good and light and fluffy:-) btw thanks for the reminder, car show is coming up
Tino, keep up the great work. I am still trying to figure out how you can ship all that great pastry to me from Denmark without the whip cream melting so I can eat it while watching the new videos! You could call it 'The Tino Video Pastry Kit" to ease those food craves while watching! Keep up the great work. I see it is very important to get as much video as possible now since so many areas are now off limits or closing. You have done a wonderful job of investigating so many mysteries of what happened. It is hard to believe in 12 years how much the Germans and other countries with them were able to accomplish so many things, which is testimony to the skill and creativity of the European people. I had an old friend from Prague who worked for the Fritz Todd Organization until the Russians came in and took over there. He was a funny guy and miss his stories and friendship. He had a business making electrical equipment and when the Russian Communists came in, they arrested him for being a Capitalist for owning his own business. He went to trial in Common Court, he told the judge to get screwed, the judge gave him 5 years in prison and it was like Mission Impossible. He later escaped and went to Canada then the US. I would like to see you do some videos on The Teutorberg Forest Massacre with the the Germans and Romans. That was an interesting story and part of European history! We all love you TIno for these great videos, keep up the great work! From Florida USA. ( More whip cream and Marzipan!)
Absolutely amazing !! Only the Germans could do this and so fast. Appreciate the enormous effort taken in getting to such a highly restricted place and filming it for future generations. Thanks again for posting this.
austrians...not germans
The slave labourers were sitting around?
@@kabalu a body does not function without a head. But a head can function with any body. It didnt matter where we took our slaves from as long as the head managed them right
@@AbuHajarAlBugatti yeah the head is now AI
@@vlastafe Run by the same people. Enjoy your "vaccines"
Extremely happy with your work and that of Dr. Farrel.
I think Joseph P. Farrell (no?)
@@callamediarok1470 Yes.
@Dr. Hans Kammler Unknown for many decades you have now suddenly become a household name around the world.
Looking forward too see your new episode, you are great together with Mark Felton you might found a superb new wartime history channel
Auch hier?
@@KalterKrieger na klar ist sehr interessant was hier gebracht wird :-)
Mark Felton is a shill
@@righteousred723 you mean chill? ;-)
I much Prefer Tino,s he gets down there himself. And the research and knowledge he brings make it a realistic passage thru time and a understanding of the sheer size of these sites.
I can't get over how well done your videos are also your knowledge of these places you really do your homework. Also as I am watching I noticed that the Germans sure use a lot of reinforcement in their concrete. Thanks again for another informative entertaining and enjoyable video. You are one busy guy. Cheers
Got a good feeling you're gonna blow us out the water with this one, bro, if the last was anything to go by. So consider my meagre funding permanent, to help ensure you keep at the work you do in exposing the hidden truth of WW2. Respect to you, my friend. Regards Urban Geeze.
The quality of your videos have improved substantially Tino, The images and information shared in this production is outstanding. Congratulations mate.
Well it helps when the camera stabilizer is working:-) lol
I played a show there in ‘96 and I had GOOSEBUMPS the whole time .
I didn’t learn about this until a year later on History Channel. The town has a Creepy Perfection to it that is like a Veneer covering its past .
On the cement. In Australia we have a company Portland Cement. It was/is linked to Portland Cement UK. And Id bet linked to the company site that owns those tunnels.
The stregnth of concrete. They add fly ash which is pulverised coal ash/clinker. Perhaps grab a small chunk if you get a later visit and get it analysed
Fantastic to see all you have shown us sir. PLEASE keep up all your great content! Love your work.
Best of luck and safe travels.
Those structures you were unsure of may have been a crane lifting system for heavy missiles etc perhaps, or something was placed on top of them rather like a mechanics pit to be able to work under something. Not sure just thinking out loud. Very enjoyable videos you make Tino, thank you
Thank you for taking the time to make this video showing us these underground constructions.
of course, if we are going to find out what they did we have to see where they did it first.
The raised concrete items would be supports for the pipe manifolds and probably some pumps, that moved the oils/fuel/liquid around. Your internal views of the bigger tank also show support pillars and reinforcing going from the roof through to the floor to support the weight of the manifolds and pumps above. You can also see the remains of the seal coating on the cement walls of the tanks.
here as always brother. thank you in advance for all your hard work
Building at 18:00 in looks like a house/housing for a generator? Great video as always my man and these productions are next level nobody else is even close to you're level! Much love from the 🇬🇧 and stay safe on future travels. This whole series so far has been nothing short of exceptional.
Lets see if you have the same reaction as I did when I found out what I did about Kammler's engineer - It really was one of those moments where I just sat and laughed at it for a moment:-) Oh well enjoy.
You should take samples of the cement, water, use a lazer room measure thing to get measurements. Take radiation measurements everywhere. Man this is most interesting!!! They could figure out what's in the cement by examining it in a lab. Interesting to note they used wood not rebar in those pillars! Still watching... Had to note thoughts. 💯❣️😃👍
Awesome exploring, but, CAUTION::: Some cave-explorers have been unable to find their routes back out !!!
incredible footage, picture's don't lie. thank you!
B000
I just figured out what those pillars are for or at least I think .
Their in small groups and numbers and isolated .
Work light mounts .
Now if there are any joists or mounting brackets in the wall next to them they maybe a light weight platform for Guards and work lights .
Don't need to be for construction just light and a guard or two .
@Tino - The concrete structure you didn't know what it was? I think I might. It looked like an access. I already had a feeling there would be some sort of sign of a barrier in the walls around it, and then you panned up and I saw them. Those beams probably went the entire width of the tunnel for support for a wall. Whatever was planned, or going on in there, required high security, environmental control, or biological control. That would be my guess. No idea on the corridor section with the cement pillars. Maybe to isolate one set of tracks from the other? But then why? The black walls look like fire barrier material. Pre-Tyvek. Next time you go in there you might want to bring a mask. I'd bet that hay insulation was treated with asbestos too. And the fire barrier stuff, if that's what it is.
Thank you for showing that. It really gives an idea of what should be inside of the other places where they build tunnels. It would be interesting to have more exact measurements of the tunnels hight (should be enough since the tunnel is egg shaped) and the thickness of the concrete shell. Maybe one could make a rough calculation how many meters of tunnel could be build with all the "missing" concrete.
thanks again for a great documentary I always look forward to your next one
I was reading about the construction of the Hoover Dam some years ago.
Apparently they used specially-constructed vehicles to dig the diversion tunnels which were at least as big as what you are looking at. Basically it was a mechanized "framework", that carried machinery and crew to basically continuously bore through the rock with pneumatically-powered tools.
These days, tunnel-boring machines are relatively commonplace, but, they had to start somewhere.
Exploring "diversion tunnels" at dam sites is a bit tricky as they are '"plugged" and tend to be very underwater as the dam fills up after completion.
AMAZING EPISODE TINO!!!!! THANK YOU!
Thank you
incredible tunnels, mind blowing amount of work that must have gone into the creation, the 1000s of prisoners that died heart wrenching, surely there ought to be a plaque or something in memory of those lives suffered and died , or am i being too sentimental?? you have done a incredible job getting inside and filming,fantastic video, thank you 👍
Very impressive Tino. Thank you. 👍🍻
I envy your ability to traverse underground the way you do. Thank You for your efforts. WW2 Europe has held my fasination for decades.
It was an exciting episode Herr Von Struckmann! But I do think that the rockets had to be transported on trains once the construction project was completed. I did see similarities with Steinkohle 1301 and project Riese.
Wow, these tunnels are high and mighty. More please.
Luv watching this again an again those Pillars creep me out , an every time I gather my Hens Eggs you just think of Tunnels like these , the Shapes a perfect strong structure for tunnels.
Very cool. Thanks for the upload!
The buildings you found in the tunnels may be a sort of clean room for intricate sub assemblies. If various parts were made in other locations and brought there for final assembly, they would need clean rooms for some of these. one example would be gyroscopes. Just a thought. Keep at it, you bring amazing history to life for all of us! Very grateful!
At 1:07 I suggest the "room" is a water tank . Ive seen similar underground in other limestone workings. The black looks like a waterproofing (tar?) You describe a roof fall earlier but to me it looks like a slope shaft has been backfilled with old railway ballast!
Brilliant program!!!
Tino, if you mix a bit of hydrated lime into the cement it will last forever.
Tino your documentary is EXCELLENT, you did a remarcable job by showing us this tunnels, you are a great field historian among many other good things. I am glad I didn't fly today just to see this. THANKS VERY MUCH.
Glad you enjoyed it - field historian:-) I like that
Man this place is amazing. Unlike anything ive ever seen. Great video. Thanks.
Thank you that was wonderful session and a real eye opener,again many thanks :-)
This place is absolutely fascinating!! However, it just seems like such a waste to let such vast spaces sit empty and unused. You could probably fit an entire city for every single homeless person in the world down there!! Heck you could probably fit 2 cities down there 😱 Such massive constructions are truly mind boggling!!! Thank you for taking me on this epic walk about!! 🙏
Cheers
Hello again from Portugal.
What an amazing job you are doing, exploring these complex tunnels, what an incredible history they have!
Maybe next time, with drone, and other kind of equipment, a ladder for example to complete the full tour.
Best regards,
Artur Freitas
Thank you very much! I tried with a drone several times, however underground mine would only fly into ... the walls:-)
great stuff tino, hope your well keep em comin brother,
Can't wait tino you legand
Hmm I always thought being Legend ajacent would pay better LOL I'm just kidding. Thank you
@@tinostruckmann I think thats "Legendary" that has the big pay... GOt to be a legend first however... its a promotion away.
fantastic explore! amazing history
Could your "buildings" be water or fuel tanks? The black in the walls looked like tar or paint applied with a roller. Which you could then put the straw insulation on? To keep the tank contents at a consistent temperature?
Yeah that’s what I thought. Holding tanks for fueling generators or compressors etc.
That’s what I would say also, the mounting plates on the top could be to mount generators and pumping equipment, this set of tunnels could be a massive supply dump for supplies that would be used in another section of the the facility, perhaps the Nazis were going to use it as a vast survival shelter, to what end I do not know, but who really knows what the Nazis had planned.
Agreed. They're fuel storage tanks or cisterns for water. The ones that are tar lined would be for water, as fuel would dissolve the tar coating.
I’d like to know how much tunnel was in place from lime extraction before the Germans started to get a better sense of how much tunnel could be produced. If the company had started in 1908 that would mean that they had at least 30+ years of digging tunnels before Nazi involvement. Great work Tino. I always enjoy your productions.
I have the impression they mostly did above ground pits, but will ask them actually good point
@@tinostruckmann Thanks Tino. Not trying to jam you up just curious about what was logistically possible? Excellent work sir. We in the community appreciate all your efforts.
At1:36:30 that small tunnel system you are in shows fires had happened further in the tunnels, the blackened ceiling and walls, at least 2' down the walls from the roof.
It was worth watching every single second !!!
Thank you
Incredible video. I was entranced. Feck they're enormous these tunnels. Completely stripped of most metal looks like. Would be great to find photographs of the period inside these tunnels. Amazing stuff. Your channel is great
Thank you, and I agree I am having a helluva time finding photos of these, although I know the Army had plenty
Tino I.m only 10 minutes into the video and as usual I.m impressed with your knowledge and research. Thanks
I appreciate that
fantastic cement work
Really superb investigation!
Amazing Sir, real history, thank you.
47:08 look like a high security area with the entrance, also looks like they filled in something at the back of the room, that could mean even more secret tunnels behind that because the built the entrance frist so people could not so the digging done behind it
Tino these video's are amazing my friend greetings from Scotland to you and your good family
Very interesting. Keep up the good work.
Were the rooms places to test/practice detonations or some sort of reactions? You’d probably want a lot of insulation to make sure you don’t bring everything down on top of you.
Niceone like that that is really big tunnel network - interesting
oh man you have big balls to enter this site, its fantastic
amazing,so many uncovered truths,operation paperclip is the key to so many secrets,good work keep digging
God I’m rhyming again, for no other reason I’m subscribing! Not quite true, this is the first I’ve watched and I appreciated it for what it is and the effort required. The misery of the forced labour still hangs off the walls in that place, the precision and quality of the build as per the plan someone had is incredible. Thank you, all the best.
Thank you so much and welcome to the party, I recommend going back to episode one last year and work forward from there:-)
That was excellent Tino , my Dad would have luv'd watching this as he was a Mining Engineer , those odd shaped blocks looked like supports for something , but there has to be a main way in there and as you said it had to be built to a Plan , so where are they?..but great Vid as always well worth waiting for .
Thank you, I wish he had been watching too, could do with some insight. maybe they were part of the original plan for the tunnel...
Again a great documentary on hidden secrets.
Thanks again for your outstanding work. I understand your comments that if this is what 10k can achieve what can 30k and a lot more priority and money do.
Risa (sp) must have been ( still is) huge.
From your previous episodes at Risa and looking down on the possible collapsed tunnels I wonder if the raised areas are actually the thin roofs at the pinnacle of the roof and you are looking down at the collapsed gaps between the tunnels themselves. Therefore the tunnels are still standing. Just a thought.
Irrespective I am looking forward to your next instalment. Maybe they will give you permission to look on the other side of the train tracks.
We are going back to the Reise in the next episodes and will take a closer look at all the sites and meet with the gentleman who bought the henge :-)
Really excited for this Tino! Tino, have you pitched your series to any major networks? Just curious.
I did talk with Discovery a few years ago but they seem to want a different direction I just gave up and did it myself for you instead of waiting besides my agent is awol
Ohh yes. More awesome stuff.
Informative and very interesting, well done, thank you
Thank you I try
I just want to say these Tunnels are amassing, and you are a Mench, Thank You, "HJ" Martin
I try thank you:-)
The wooden box you discover at 30:45 is what is left of a narrow gauge dump car. The wheeled frame has been removed, but that box would be suspended between two A-frames bolted or welded to the wheeled frame with an open eye at the top. Either a full-length shaft or two short shafts would have allowed the box to be dumped to either side as needed. This is similar to the many styles used in old mining techniques from early times.
The pillars you discover very soon after appear to be wall buttress'. This would allow you to close off a working gallery on the ground level, with an additional floor "working gallery" above. The internal narrow gauge rail line would have been laid to the right of the center row of buttress'. This would give a walkway and rail service to the work galleries to the left. Based on my limited study of such "production facilities", and the evidence of other of your tunnel explorations this seems to be the German standard. Work galleries to the left, and walkway/railway to the left.
The "buildings" you found inside the complex look more like liquid storage tanks to me. It may have been for diesel, gasoline, rocket/jet fuel, or even water. Hard to say with such limited information, but as you yourself say, "Why build a building with no door?" Because it isn't a building. We may not know for sure what it is, but I think it is safe to say it isn't a building, at least not for human occupancy.
Yes when you treat people as a disposable item,you can accomplish anything.
I'm only 15 minutes in to this and wow what an exciting excellent piece you have created.
I try to :-)
Nice work tino
That small tunnel at 1:44:25 looks like an emergency egress or technical access, it probably doesn't end as the ceiling slopes down so it probably goes down at an angle either with a gentle ramp or steeper with stairs.
There appears to be marked on the map graphics you put up reference to emergency exits and other ways up near the middle of the complex and on the left of the map near the main Eingang.
This was eye opening, I agree the possibility of underground city. That was massive.
I thought you might like it now we're going back to Poland
@@tinostruckmann Love your sense of humor.. I've always believed Dr. Farrell on breakaway civilization. To see what they could do in months could you imagine years. Your shows are very informative. Thank you
This is amazing
The Romans used a lot of concrete. To make it sea water proof and be able to cure under water, they made it with animal blood as a large proportion of the liquid content.
Superb film great information………thank you for doing this film…..
its just one episode out of many:-) I hope you saw the others in the series, it ties together:-)
@@tinostruckmann Hi Tino ,I’m going to make time to watch them all it’s been a busy year so far but I will make time as I learn so much about history that meant so much to so many ,thank you for taking the time to do these films ………it’s appreciated…..
Dear Tino, In
the classic warmovie "Operation Crossbow" (1965) about the V2 and A4 construction in a mountain complex comes Gruppenfuhrer Linz (Helmut Dantine) for a fictional character who should actually represent Hans Kammler. Wehrner von Braun has been left out of the film altogether.
Funny how that works is it not... many films are made in order to create a historic narrative, or the historic narrative not to depict it. long ties between Hollywood and the intelligence services
@@CaptainKipQ oh I'm not even remotely done yet the best has yet to come trust me
This history documentary was excellent, new sub , they were clever,
Excellent
Tino, could those pillars be for an overhead gantry system for mass production of rockets on an assembly line ?
Those tunnels were drilled , blasted using machinery same for mining. Although very antiquated compared to the equipment used these days. Those tunnels have cleaned out completely many years ago , you can see where sections of the tunnels have been purposely blasted out tho remove as much as possible. That explains the windrows of dirt everywhere.
Ultra intresting documentary work,im from Poland i now what are they doing in forrest undergroud in all over europe,Argetina,Chile etc.
Very nice job.
That was very cool about Patton and weapons grade uranium..
The buildings down there are where the prisoners slept. They lived their entire lives down there, until they were “disposed of”.
These series are amazing, thanks for all the great work, very interesting :-)
Thank you so much for saying so I am trying
At 1:19:19, that rock that appears to have come down a shaft from above appears to be coal! They were getting fuel oil from coal and shale late in the war as outside petroleum supplies had been cut off.
Did you perchance have a good look at the black rock? It is totally different to the rock strata and type of rock at the site. Cracking both coal and rock for oil requires the furnaces and chimneys you mentioned at the start.
Hahahahh tino wearing a gille suit that looks like a rock😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣with a gopro 😳awesome job brother 👍
There are still active underground bases with trains in them under the Brecon Beacons in south Wales . I had heard about it but when my friend moved there and i visited we both heard trains under the house trundling and clanking in the middle of the night.
I wanna come see.... send me information - most curious
@@tinostruckmann There was more info 10 years ago on the internet about Brecon Beacons than there is now. Now I can't find anything. Its where the SAS have training and a base there, so very sensitive. Also, a lot of UFO sightings and mutilations. Richard D Hall did one documentary about it called UFO's & NATO: The Human Mutilation Cover Up (2014). You can probably see if free on his webbsite
good work, good research, good to continue ... thank you
I have the idea after watching your videos of the fact Germany had nuclear capabilities that perhaps General Patton and the 3rd army gained control of that technology. Patton was adamant of taking on Russia. Seems if he had nukes he would have used them. Perhaps that's what led to his untimely death. Just seems likely that Patton was on his way to recovery and suddenly passed away. Given that our government obviously retrieved much of that technology on the hush. Patton worst enemy was his own mouth.... Thanks for all your hard work.
Thank you, I myself find it hard to think Patton was not briefed on the special research sites in the path of his armies, or taken by his units.
Holy crap, tino... that’s was the best surprise I’ve had all month. Top notch. Absolutely fu*cking ace, my guy. I think maybe those pillars supported a metal floor or gangway or work surface of some kind, as that smaller shaft (I do wonder what was down that smaller manway...) was raised at about the same level as the top of the pillars. Just the sort of thing you’d want if you were working with a lot of fuel or gas lines, or exhaust outlet, eh? And those “buildings” are most definitely a tank for liquid of some kind, could easily have been for fuel or chemicals if the insulation is any indicator. They did used to make concrete fuel or oil tanks back then. I’m fact Cheyenne mountain has two massive concrete tanks, one for diesel and one for water/ Or, actually, could even be for water... for cooling.... something very... uh.. energetic? If you catch my drift. What with the insulation, especially... you wouldn’t want your coolant freezing up on you in winter and end up with a meltdown on your hands.Kindof like what you were looking for at the tunnels at Riese. Also, I have a feeling those sections of bare rock between the concreted areas are probably for flexibility, in case any of the rock shifted it would keep the destruction and cracking isolated to one section of the tunnel rather than running down the whole length. And I agree, I think slot of those collapses were done intentionally either by the Germans at the end of the war, or by allies post war for whatever reason. Damn, sir, I do wish I could have explored that with you...
I suppose you are just going to have to come one of these days:-)
@@tinostruckmann I am so down for that... SOOOOO very much
I been in some tunnels in Frankfurt and Nuremberg from the train station. 👍
Another great video. 👍👍😎
Glad you enjoyed it more to come
pillars could be supports for an i-Beam crane.
Looks like there could have been a set of rails atop the pillars with possibly a series of i-beams, used to bridge these rails, suspending a crane.
That way, heavy machinery could be used at station to station, allowing the part being worked upon to be passed along the line easily by one man and a winch strap.
They use similar in modern day large manufacturing environments...look up 'Street Cranes' for example.
